Activating a Geofence and Setting Speed Limits on Your RZR 200
A geofence is a virtual fence that allows you to specify vehicle speeds for inside and outside the area created by a geofence. The inside speed and outside speed can be set individually in any values from 10 to 29 miles per hour. Your RZR 200 can store three geofences, and only one can be enabled at a time. Note that a geofence is not a replacement for adult supervision. GPS accuracy can vary by region, so make certain to give adequate distance for geofence boundaries to accommodate this variation. A geofence will not stop the vehicle. It will only slow to the adult-entered speed limit.
Once a geofence boundary has been created on the Polaris App, the geofence can be turned on and off and the speeds can be changed through the RZR 200's digital gauge.

Helmet Aware Technology
A Helmet Aware Sensor comes with the purchase of your RZR 200 EFI. It will be located in the plastic bag with the Owner's Manual. The Helmet Aware Sensor can be adhered to the rider's helmet and can control whether or not the engine can be turned on, and/or limit the speed of the vehicle as well.
Helmet Aware Sensor (not assembled)
Helmet Aware Sensor (assembled)
Using the provided velcro, the Helmer Aware Sensor can be adhered to a flat portion of a youth helmet.
Note: To use all of the helmet aware features, first download the Polaris App and login to your existing Polaris account or create a new account. Turning the helmet aware feature on and off can be done through the vehicle display but the helmet not detected behavior must be selected through the Polaris App.
To turn the Helmet Aware Sensor feature ON or OFF from the vehicle display, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the MODE button to the enter the OPTIONS menu. Note: OPTIONS will display on the screen for 3 seconds before showing the first menu item.
2. Select YOUTH MENU by pressing the MODE button.
3. Enter PIN/PASSCODE.
4. Select HELMET A from the Youth Menu by pressing the MODE button.
5. Referencing the image below, press the MODE button (1), toggle the UP/DOWN buttons to cycle through options On/Off (2), with the desired option displayed, press the MODE button which will set function and return to the Youth Menu (3).
When the Helmet Aware technology is enabled the display can be configured three different ways:
- No Start - Helmet is required to start the vehicle. If the helmet is removed after starting the vehicle, vehicle will limit speed to 10 MPH and display “HELMET NOT DETECTED - LIMITING SPEED” in area 2 of the display. Note: If the vehicle display is on and the engine is not running, the message will only display “HELMET NO LONGER DETECTED - SPEED WILL BE LIMITED” in area 2.
- Limit Speed - Vehicle can start, but if helmet is not detected it will limit speed to 10 MPH and display “HELMET NOT DETECTED - LIMITING SPEED” in area 2. Note, if the vehicle display is on and the engine is not running the message will only display “HELMET NO LONGER DETECTED - SPEED WILL BE LIMITED” in area 2.
- Warning Only - Only shows warning in area 2 of the display, “HELMET NOT DETECTED”. The vehicle will still start and speed is NOT limited. Note: The default setting is “No Start”.
The Helmet Aware technology is currently configured to detect “All” helmets that contain the sensor. The display will track the helmet that is closest and switch immediately to the next available helmet if signal is lost. This allows the display to report both signal level and battery level of the helmet. It also has the ability to track specific helmets that are configured using the Polaris App.
Helmet Aware Display Notifications
Your RZR 200 EFI display gauge is shown below. Messages regarding Helmet Aware Technology will occur in "Display Area 2" (2) of the vehicle's display.
If a helmet with an installed Helmet Aware Sensor is not detected, the following message below will populate until the Helmet Aware Sensor attached to the helmet is in range of the display gauge. The signal strength of the Helmet Aware Sensor can be viewed in the upper left hand portion of the display (see "Helmet Aware Signal Strength", item 4 in the above picture).
Troubleshooting
If you cannot connect to your vehicle:
- Try turning the vehicle off, waiting 10 seconds and then turning it back on.
- Ensure Bluetooth® is enabled on your device/phone.
- In the Polaris App, try going to the map, waiting 10 seconds and then going back to the Youth screen. This will force a disconnect/reconnect.
- Try rebooting your device/phone. This will force all Bluetooth® connections to be closed.
- If you have multiple RZR 200 vehicles, make sure the correct one is selected by swiping between them on the Youth screen.
If your geofence doesn't work:
- Ensure that the desired geofence is active and that your latest settings have been synced to the RZR 200 EFI. Only one geofence can be active at a time.
- Geofences are accurate within the precision of the GPS built into the vehicle. This is usually within a couple meters but can vary depending on GPS signal strength. The RZR 200 EFI only limits speed by limiting the engine, so crossing a geofence from a faster speed to a slower speed may take some time for the vehicle to slow down to the specified geofence speed limit.
If your passcode won't work:
- Try restarting both the vehicle and your device/phone.
- If that doesn't work or if you forgot your passcode, take your RZR 200 to a Polaris Dealer to have the passcode reset.
For more information, see your authorized Polaris Dealer. Find a dealer near you with the Dealer Locator.
More information about your RZR 200's digital gauge can be found in your Owner's Manual.
