Default variable low speed limiter

How do you us this feature. Just bought 2018 Sportsmen 570 Utility Edition. Nothing in the manual nothing on the web and dealer is not sure. It allows you to maintain a constant speed between 7-14 MPH. Tried a couple different things. Got me.

Don't know about the newer models but on the older ones there was a screw and adjustable plate at the bottom of the throttle housing that you could do this.On yours it may be an electrical setting?

Somewhat similar to the old yellow key on the Rangers that limited speed to 25 mph.

It has a switch on the dash that turns it on or off. Tried bringing it up to speed (10mph) and switch to on. Nothing, Dealer isn't sure how it works so no help there. It's made to hold a speed between 7-14 mph. for spraying or something like that.

Hit the switch before you take off and see if it works then. Curious myself as to how it works.

Bummer.. Switch has to either retard ignition timing or go to some sort of limiter module I would think. Dealer should have known how this feature works or should have at least called Polaris for you if the owners manual isn't specific on this.
