FEATURES AND CONTROLS

All Wheel Drive (AWD) System

Polaris 4-wheel drive ATVs are

equipped with a unique, Polaris

exclusive, AWD system that’s

activated by a switch (1) on the right

handlebar. When the switch is off,

the ATV is in 2 wheel drive at all

times. When the switch is on, the

ATV is in AWD and the AWD

indicator light (2) will be on.
When in AWD, the front hubs will

automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the

rear wheels regain traction, the front hubs will automatically disengage.

NOTE:

The override switch allows activation of AWD in reverse if

the AWD switch is on. See page 37.
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD.

Engaging Wheel Hubs

The AWD switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving.

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 hubs are moving, the hubs will not disengage until the

rear wheels regain traction.
Engage the AWD switch before getting into conditions where front

wheel drive may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the

throttle before switching to AWD.

Switching to AWD while the rear wheels are spinning may

cause severe drive shaft and hub damage. Always switch to

AWD while the rear wheels have traction or are at rest.
