Drive Mode

  • Press the top of the rocker switch to engage All Wheel Drive (AWD). Once enabled, the AWD remains enabled until the switch is turned off.




  • The AWD switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving. When the AWD switch is on, the front gearcase will automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction, the front gearcase will automatically disengage.

  • 1 All-wheel Drive (AWD)

  • 2 Two–wheel Drive (2WD)

  • 3 One-wheel Drive (Turf Mode)

TIP
AWD will not engage initially until speed is less than 5 MPH (8 km/h).

Engage the AWD before getting into conditions where front wheel drive may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the accelerator before switching to AWD.

NOTE
Switching to AWD while the rear wheels are spinning may cause severe drive train damage. Always switch to AWD while the rear wheels have traction or are at rest.

Locking the Differential

NOTE
Damage to the differential can occur if it is engaged while the vehicle is traveling at high speeds or while the rear wheels are spinning. Slow the vehicle to nearly stopped before engaging the differential.

Locking the differential in slippery or low traction conditions helps improve traction. Move the rocker switch to the center position (2WD) to lock the differential and operate in rear wheel drive.

Press the bottom of the switch to unlock the differential and allow the rear drive wheels to operate independently. This mode of operation is well suited to turf driving or whenever aggressive traction is not required.

Disengaging AWD

Move the AWD switch to the center or bottom position to disengage AWD.

If the switch is turned off while the front gearcase is moving, it will not disengage 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.

  1. Stop the vehicle.

  2. Move the direction selector to reverse. Operate in reverse for at least 10 feet (3 m).

  3. Stop completely.

  4. Move the direction selector to forward and drive forward.

  5. If the front gearcase remains locked after following these instructions, return the vehicle to your dealer for service.
