FEATURES AND CONTROLS

All Wheel Drive (AWD) System

The All Wheel Drive system is

controlled by the AWD switch.

When the switch is off, the vehi-

cle is in rear wheel drive at all

times. When the switch is on, the

vehicle is in AWD and the front

wheels will automatically engage

any time the rear wheels lose trac-

tion. When the rear wheels regain

traction, the front wheels will automatically disengage.

NOTE:

The override switch allows activation of AWD in reverse if the AWD

switch is on. See page 34.

There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD.
The AWD switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving. If

the switch is turned off when the front hubs are driving, they will not

release until the rear wheels regain traction.

CAUTION

Switching to AWD while the rear wheels are spinning may cause severe drive

shaft and hub damage. Always switch to AWD while the rear wheels have

traction or are at rest.
