WARNING
• When servicing the vehicle with part of the vehicle on jack stands, do not operate the engine
with the Forward/Reverse handle in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position. The all-wheel
drive system will engage any wheel(s), front or rear, with traction. See Figure 2 on page 9.
• The diameter of all tires on the vehicle must be equal; otherwise the all-wheel drive system
will not operate as intended and could result in severe personal injury or death. Never install
tires of different diamters on the vehicle.
Under most circumstances the driver will not need to do anything to engage the AWD system; however, the
front differential may become locked (rotate at the same speed regardless of the terrain) under certain condi-
