All Wheel Drive (Awd) System; Engaging Awd - Polaris RZR XP 1000 EPS 2019 Owner's Manual

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) SYSTEM

The All Wheel Drive system is controlled by the AWD
w
switch. When the switch is on 2X4 , the vehicle is in
two-wheel drive at all times. When the switch is on
q
AWD , the vehicle is in all wheel drive and the 4X4
indicator in the instrument cluster will be on.
When in AWD, the demand drive unit will automatically
engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When
the rear wheels regain traction, the demand drive unit
will automatically disengage.
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may
remain in AWD.

ENGAGING AWD

The AWD switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving. Initially, the
vehicle's electronic system will not enable the AWD until the engine RPM is
below 3100. Once enabled, the AWD remains enabled until the AWD switch is
turned off. If the switch is turned off while the demand drive unit is moving, it will
not disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.
Engage the AWD switch before getting into conditions where front wheel drive
may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before
switching to AWD.
NOTICE
Switching to AWD while the rear wheels are spinning or slipping may cause
severe drive shaft and gearcase damage. Always switch to AWD while the rear
wheels have traction or are at rest.
NOTE
For functional descriptions detailing how to operate the DYNAMIX suspension
system on certain vehicle models, consult the Polaris RideCommand manual.
