FEATURES AND CONTROLS
All Wheel Drive (AWD) System
Engaging AWD
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 demand drive unit is moving, it 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.
CAUTION
Switching to AWD (or from TURF to 2X4) while the rear wheels are spinning
may cause severe drive shaft and gearcase damage. Always switch to AWD
(or to TURF from 2X4) while the rear wheels have traction or are at rest.
