Press the top of the switch to engage All Wheel Drive (AWD). The 4X4 indicator
illuminates in the rider information center to indicate that the vehicle is in AWD.
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. There is no limit to the length of
time the vehicle may remain in AWD. 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 gearcase is moving, it will not disengage until the rear wheels
regain traction.
Engage the AWD before getting into conditions where front wheel drive may be
needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before switching to
AWD.
