FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Console

Direction Selector Switch

When the direction selector is in the 
center position, the vehicle is in neutral. 
The vehicle will not move if the accel-
erator is depressed. Place the switch in 
neutral before turning the key on.

Push the top of the switch to choose for-
ward operation. Push the bottom of the 
switch to choose reverse operation. 
Always come to a complete stop before 
reversing direction. 

Tip:

The malfunction light will illuminate after reversing direction if you press the 
accelerator pedal before coming to a complete stop.

AWD Switch

The AWD switch has three posi-
tions: All Wheel Drive (AWD), Dif-
ferential Lock/Two Wheel Drive 
(2WD) and Off (1WD/Turf Mode).

Press the top of the switch to engage 
All Wheel Drive (AWD). See page

 

54 for operating instructions.

Move the switch to the center posi-
tion to lock the differential and 
operate in two wheel drive (2WD).

Press the bottom of the switch to unlock the differential and allow the 
rear drive wheels to operate independently (1WD). This mode of opera-
tion is well suited to turf driving or when active traction is not needed. 

See page 54 for Differential Lock operating instructions.

Headlight Switch

Press the top of the switch to turn the head-
lights on. Press the bottom of the switch to
