ENGAGING 4X4
The 4X4 switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving. Initially, the
vehicle's electronic system will not enable 4X4 until the engine RPM is below
3000. Once enabled, 4X4 remains enabled until the 4X4 switch is turned off. If
the switch is turned off while the demand drive unit is moving, it will not
disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.
Engage the 4X4 switch before getting into conditions where front wheel drive
may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before
switching to 4X4.
NOTICE
Switching to 4X4 or ADC 4X4 while the rear wheels are spinning may cause
severe drive shaft and gearcase damage. Always switch to 4X4 or ADC 4X4
while the rear wheels have traction or are at rest.
ACTIVE DESCENT CONTROL (ADC) SYSTEM
The ADC system allows engine braking to all four wheels when the vehicle
descends a hill or incline. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 before
ascending or descending a hill.
ENGAGING ACTIVE DESCENT CONTROL
The ADC system will automatically engage when all four of the following
conditions occur:
• The 4X4 switch must be in the ADC 4X4 position
• The throttle must be closed (throttle lever released)
• The transmission must be in gear (high, low or reverse)
DISENGAGING ACTIVE DESCENT CONTROL
The ADC system will automatically disengage if at least one of the following
conditions occur:
• The 4X4 switch is moved out of the ADC 4X4 position
• The throttle is open (throttle is applied)
• The transmission is shifted to neutral or park
