Exclusive AWD System (All Wheel Drive)
Polaris 4 wheel drive ATVs are
equipped with a unique, Polaris
exclusive, Demand 4 Drive
(AWD) system which is
activated by a switch (1) on the
right handlebar. When the
switch is "off" the ATV is in 2
wheel drive at all times. When
the switch is "on" the ATV is in
Demand 4 Drive and the AWD
indicator(2) will light.
When in AWD, the front
wheels will automatically
engage anytime the rear wheels
lose traction. When the rear
wheels regain traction, the front
wheels will automatically
disengage.
NOTE: The override switch
also allows activation of
Demand 4 Drive (AWD) in
reverse, if Demand 4 Drive
switch is on.
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in
Demand 4 Drive.
The Demand 4 Drive switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle
is moving. If the switch is turned off when the front hubs are driving
they will not release until the rear wheels regain traction.
NOTE: Select AWD models do not have an AWD switch. These
models are continuously in All Wheel Drive.
Do not switch on Demand 4 Drive if the rear wheels are spinning.
This may cause severe drive shaft and hub damage.
