ENGAGING AWD
Press the top of the switch to engage All
Wheel Drive (AWD). The 4X4 indicator
illuminates in the rider information
center to indicate that the vehicle is in
AWD.When the AWD switch is on, the
front gearcase will automatically
engage any time the rear wheels lose
traction. When the rear wheels regain
traction, the front gearcase will
automatically disengage. There is no
limit to the length of time the vehicle
may remain in AWD.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 front gearcase is moving, it will
not disengage until the rear wheels
regain traction.
