CONTROL AND PARTS FUNCTIONS
Exclusive Demand 4 Drive System (All Wheel Drive)
Polaris 4 wheel drive ATVs
are equipped with a unique,
Polaris exclusive, Demand 4
Drive (AWD) system which is
activated by a switch (1) on
the right handlebar. When the
switch is “off” the ATV is in 2
wheel drive at all times. When
the switch is “on” the ATV is in
Demand 4 Drive and the AWD
indicator(2) will light.
When in AWD, the front
wheels will automatically en-
gage anytime the rear wheels
lose traction. When the rear
wheels regain traction, the
front wheels will automatically
disengage.
NOTE: The override switch
also allows activation of De-
mand 4 Drive (AWD) in re-
verse, if Demand 4 Drive
switch is on.
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in De-
mand 4 Drive.
The Demand 4 Drive switch may be turned on or off while the ve-
hicle is moving. If the switch is turned off when the front hubs are
driving they will not release until the rear wheels regain traction.

Do not switch on Demand 4 Drive if the rear wheels are
spinning. This may cause severe drive shaft and hub
damage.
