ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM (UTILITY EDITION AND
UTE MODELS)
The All Wheel Drive system is controlled by the AWD momentary switch.
Engage AWD before getting into conditions where front wheel drive may be
needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before switching to
AWD.
• Move the momentary switch to the right to engage AWD.
• Move the momentary switch to the right, past the AWD setting, to engage
ADC AWD (if equipped).
• Move the momentary switch to the far left to operate in two-wheel drive (2X4).
NOTICE
Switching to AWD or ADC AWD (if equipped) while the rear wheels are
spinning may cause severe drive shaft and gearcase damage. Always switch
to AWD or ADC AWD (if equipped) while the rear wheels have traction or are at
rest.
AWD MODE
Move the momentary switch to the right to engage AWD (4X4). AWD will engage
when engine speed slows to below 3100 RPM. The gauge will display “AWD”.
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD. The
vehicle automatically engages AWD when operating in reverse if the switch is
set to the AWD position.
Once enabled, AWD remains enabled until the 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.
When in AWD, the demand drive unit will automatically engage any time the rear
wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction, the demand drive
unit will automatically disengage.
