FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Automatic Transmission Gear Selector

The transmission gear selector is located
on the right side of the vehicle.
H: High Gear
L: Low Gear
N: Neutral
R: Reverse
P: Park

Whenever the vehicle is left unattended, always place the transmission
in PARK. The transmission is locked when it’s in PARK.

NOTICE: Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is

moving can cause transmission damage.

Belt Life

To extend belt life, use LOW forward gear when pulling a heavy load at
less than 11 km/h for extended periods and when operating uphill at a
slow speed.

All Wheel Drive (4X4) System

The All Wheel Drive system is
controlled by the 4X4 switch.
ADC 4X4

When the switch is on ADC 4X4,
the ADC system allows engine
braking to all four wheels when
the vehicle descends a hill or
incline. Always move the 4X4
switch to ADC 4X4 before
ascending or descending a hill.
