Switching to AWD or ADC AWD (if equipped) while the rear wheels are
spinning may cause severe drive shaft and gearcase damage. Always switch

rest.
AWD MODE
To engage AWD mode, push the momentary switch to the right. AWD will
engage when engine speed slows to below 3100 RPM. The gauge will display

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.
2X4 MODE
To engage 2x4 Mode, push the momentary switch to the left. AWD will
disengage when engine speed slows to below 3100 RPM. The gauge will
display “2X4.”
