All Wheel Drive (AWD)<br />
Press the top of the rocker switch to engage All<br />
Wheel Drive (AWD). The illuminated amber AWD<br />
switch indicates that the vehicle is in AWD.<br />
When the AWD switch is on, the front gearcase<br />
will automatically engage any time the rear wheels<br />
lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction,<br />
the front gearcase will automatically disengage.<br />
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle<br />
may remain in AWD.<br />
OPERATION<br />
Tip: The AWD switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving.<br />
Initially, the vehicle's electronic system will not enable the AWD until<br />
the engine RPM is below 3100. Once enabled, the AWD remains<br />
enabled until the AWD switch is turned off.<br />
Engage the AWD before getting into conditions where front wheel drive<br />
may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle<br />
before switching to AWD.<br />
NOTICE: Switching to AWD while the rear wheels are spinning may cause<br />
severe drive shaft and clutch damage. Always switch to AWD while<br />
the rear wheels have traction or are at rest.<br />
Disengaging AWD<br />
Move the AWD switch to the center or bottom position to disengage<br />
AWD.<br />
If the switch is turned off while the front gearcase is moving, it will not<br />
disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.<br />
In some situations, the front gearcase may remain locked after turning<br />
the AWD switch off. If this occurs, you may notice increased steering<br />
effort and some vehicle speed restriction. Perform the following procedure<br />
to unlock the front gearcase.<br />
1. Stop the vehicle.<br />
2. Operate in reverse for at least 10 feet (3 m).<br />
3. Stop completely.<br />
4. Shift into low gear and drive forward.<br />
5. If the front gearcase remains locked after following these instructions,<br />
return the vehicle to your dealer for service.<br />
