Front Differential Mode Switch (If Equipped) - Can-Am MAVERICK Trail 2021 Series Operator's Manual

SECONDARY CONTROLS
on the switch. When the engine is
stopped, the front diff lock will be de-
activated.
NOTICE
The
stopped to engage or disengage
the 2WD/4WD switch. Mechanical
damage may occur if switch is en-
gaged or disengaged while driving.
Always unlock the front diff. before
disengaging 4WD.
The front differential is fully locked
when the switch is pushed upward.
It's a momentary position. When the
front diff is locked, the switch light will
illuminate and a message will appear in
the cluster for 2 seconds to say "DIFF
LOCK". A padlock pictogram will ap-
pear inside the 4x4 logo. The light will
turn off when the differential is un-
locked and a message in the cluster
will appear and show "SMART-LOK",
meaning that you are back in the au-
tomatic mode. For all models with
Smart-Locker, the AUTO pictogram
will lit above the 4x4 logo in the cluster.
When the front differential is locked,
the effort to turn the steering wheel
might be higher and the response
might be slower.
WARNING
Abruptly changing direction can
cause loss of control or injury.
Never engage Front Diff Lock be-
fore entering a turn or when turn-
ing.
The 4WD mode is engaged when the
switch is pushed upwards.
The 2WD mode is engaged when the
switch is pushed downwards. The ve-
hicle is then rear wheel drive only.

1. Front Differential Mode switch
X rc models
The Front Differential Mode switch is
used to choose between the TRAIL
mode or ROCK mode.
Use TRAIL mode for all normal riding.
The front differential will automati-
cally synchronize the front wheels as
needed.
Use ROCK mode when riding in rocky
conditions to optimize traction and
maneuverability. The front differen-
tial will prevent the wheels to slip by
pre-charging the clutches. It will not
wait to detect a slip. Based on the
driver's demand (engine torque), the
module will adjust the clutches to op-
timize traction while maintaining the
ease of manoeuvrability. This func-
tion is active up to 20 km/h (12 MPH).
Above 20 km/h (12 MPH), it will moni-
tor for wheel slippage and synchronize
as needed.
X xc models
The Front Differential Mode switch is
used to choose between the TRAIL
mode or TRAIL ACTIV mode.
Use TRAIL mode for all normal riding.
The front differential will automati-
cally synchronize the front wheels as
needed.
Use TRAIL ACTIV mode to increase
traction on the front drive train. This
mode will optimize traction while go-
ing out of a corner and/or while do-
ing hard acceleration by the detection
of the engine torque required by the
