FEATURES AND CONTROLS
All Wheel Drive (4X4) System
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.
ADC AWD Mode (if equipped)
Move the momentary switch to the right, past the AWD setting, to
engage ADC AWD (if equipped). When the switch is on ADC AWD,
the ADC system allows engine braking to all four wheels when the
vehicle descends a hill or incline. Always move the AWD switch to
ADC AWD before ascending or descending a hill. See page 37.
2X4 Mode
Move the momentary switch to the far left to operate in two-wheel drive
(2X4). AWD will disengage when engine speed slows to below 3100
RPM. The gauge will display "2X4".
TURF Mode (X2 Models)
When operating in TURF mode, the inside rear wheel will rotate
independently from the outside during turns. Operate in TURF mode
only as neede to protect smooth, level surfaces from tire damage. DO
NOT operate in TURF mode when climbing or descending hills, when
sidehilling, or when operating on uneven, loose, or slippery terrain such
as sand, gravel, ice, snow, obstacles, and water crossings. Always
operate in ADC 4X4 or 4X4 on these types of terrain.
WARNING! Operating in TURF mode when on sloped, uneven, or loose terrain
could cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death. One rear wheel
may slip and lose traction or may lift up and grab when it touches the ground
again.
