OPERATION
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.
To disengage AWD, do the following:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Operate in reverse for at least 10 feet (3 m).
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 or other qualified service person for service.
LOCKING THE DIFFERENTIAL
Move the rocker switch to the center position to lock the differential and operate
in two wheel drive (2WD). Locking the differential in slippery or low traction
conditions helps improve traction. When the rear differential is locked, both rear
wheels rotate at the same speed.
