FEATURES AND CONTROLS
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.
DISENGAGING AWD
Move the AWD switch to the center or bottom position to disengage AWD. If the
switch is turned off while the front hubs are driving, they will not release until the
rear wheels regain traction.
In some situations, the front gearcase may remain locked after turning the AWD
switch off. If this occurs, you may notice increased steering effort and some
vehicle speed restriction. Perform the following procedure to unlock the front
gearcase.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Operate in reverse for at least 3 m (10 feet).
3. Stop completely.
4. Shift into low gear and drive forward.
5. If the front gearcase remains locked after following these instructions, see
your dealer for service.
