Mode/Reverse Override Switch
This vehicle is equipped with a reverse speed limiter system. To gain
additional wheel speed while backing, release the throttle and depress
the override switch.
Pressing the override switch while the throttle is open can cause loss of control,
which may result in serious injury or death. Always release the throttle before
pressing the override switch.
The reverse override switch also acts as a MODE button when held
down for approximately one half second. The transmission cannot be in
reverse when using the override switch as a MODE button.
4X4 Switch
Use the 4X4 switch to engage ADC 4X4, 4X4 or 2X4. See page 30. The
vehicle automatically engages 4X4 when operating in reverse if the
switch is set to either 4X4 position.
Momentary High Beam Switch
Press this switch with your left forefinger to activate the headlight high
beam. The lights will return to low beam when the switch is released.
