Shifting Gears
You can temporarily shift up or down in AUTO (automatic shift
mode) by using the shift switches.
The transmission cannot be upshifted from neutral to 1st gear or D-
mode when the engine speed is above 2,200 rpm or the ground
speed is above 3 mph (5 km/h).
The transmission cannot be downshifted from 1st gear or D-mode to
neutral when the ground speed is above 3 mph (5 km/h) or engine
speed is above 2,200 rpm.
In ESP (manual shift mode), if the ground speed decreases under a
set speed (see table) the transmission will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear.
If the ATV is at a complete stop, 4th gear or 5th gear cannot be selected.
If the electric shift system malfunctions, the transmission cannot be
shifted by pressing the gearshift switches. See your dealer. (In an
emergency, a gear may be selected manually so you may move the
vehicle. See
Emergency Gear Selection & Operation , page 224).
