FEATURES
All Wheel Drive (AWD) System
Polaris 4-wheel drive ATVs are
equipped with a unique,
Polaris-exclusive, Demand 4 Drive
(AWD) system, which is 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 Demand 4 Drive and the
AWD indicator light in the
instrument cluster will be on.
When in AWD, 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.
NOTE: The override switch allows activation of AWD in reverse if
the Demand 4 Drive switch is on. See page 36.
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in
Demand 4 Drive.
Engaging Front Gearcase
The Demand 4 Drive 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 Demand 4 Drive switch is turned off. If the
switch is turned off while the front gearcase is moving, it will not
disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.
Engage the Demand 4 Drive 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 gearcase damage. Always switch to AWD
while the rear wheels have traction or are at rest.
