Adding a Geofence
Keep your kids in safe parameters by quickly setting and controlling ride boundaries. Set speed limits for within and outside of a geofenced area.
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 RANGER 150 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.
To create a geofence on your RIDE COMMAND app, do the following:
1. From the Vehicle Settings page, tap ADD AREA SPEED LIMIT.
2. Tap NEW AREA at the top of the screen.
3. Tap the "+" icon to start drawing your geofence.
4. Move the map and zoom in or out to find where your first point will be.
5. Tap the map to add your first point.
6. Moving and zooming the map as needed, continue tapping points to draw your geofence. You do not need to tap back on your original point to close the geofence. A line will automatically be drawn from the last point back to the first point, closing the boundary.
7. A geofence cannot cross itself and cannot contain more than 24 points.
8. Tap SAVE when you are done drawing your points.
9. Give your geofence a name.
10. Tap the settings for speed limit inside geofence and speed limit outside geofence, and set the vehicle speed limit for each.
11. Set Area Active to the ON position to enable the geofence. The geofence must be enabled to be enforced by your RANGER 150. Only one geofence can be enabled at a time on the vehicle, and the RIDE COMMAND app will allow you to enable only one at a time as well.
12. When your settings are ready, tap the BACK button.
13. Push your changes to your RANGER 150 by tapping the circular Bluetooth® icon.
You can apply the same geofence to multiple vehicles under the Areas section.
When a geofence is turned on, the digital gauge on your RANGER 150 will display "OUT GEOFENCE" or "IN GEOFENCE." The turtle icon also will be illuminated to indicate the geofence speed setting is active.
Activating a Geofence and Setting Speed Limits on Your RANGER 150

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 Ride Command 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 RANGER 150 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 RANGER 150 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 RANGER 150 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 RANGER 150 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 RANGER 150's digital gauge can be found in your Owner's Manual.
