DISENGAGING AWD
Move the driveline mode 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 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 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.
UNLOCKING THE DIFFERENTIAL (TURF MODE)
When operating in TURF mode, the inside rear wheel will rotate independently
from the outside wheel during turns. Operate in TURF mode only as needed to
protect smooth, level surfaces from tire damage. DO NOT operate in TURF
mode when climbing or descending hills, when sidehilling, or when operating on
uneven, loose, or slippery terrain such as sand, gravel, ice, snow, obstacles, and
water crossings. Always operate in AWD on these types of terrain.
WARNING
Operating in TURF mode (if equipped) when on sloped, uneven, or loose
terrain could cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death. One
rear wheel may slip and lose traction or may lift up and grab when it touches
the ground again.
Press the bottom of the switch to unlock the differential and allow the rear drive
wheels to operate independently (1WD). When the rear differential is unlocked,
the rear wheels can rotate at different speeds. Unlock the differential to make
maneuvering easier and minimize damage to turf.
