OPERATION
All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Locking the Differential
NOTICE: 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 indepen-
dently. This mode of operation is well
suited to turf driving or whenever
aggressive traction is not required.
