FEATURES AND CONTROLS
All Wheel Drive (AWD) System
The drive mode switch controls the All
Wheel Drive (AWD/4X4) system.
• Press and release the top of the switch to
toggle through the drive mode options,
which display in the information center of
the gauge for several seconds.
• Press and release the bottom of the switch
to toggle to a previous option.
• When the switch is released, the drive
mode displayed in the information center
is the active drive mode.
When in AWD, the demand drive unit will
automatically engage any time the rear
wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels
regain traction, the demand drive unit will
automatically disengage.
There is no limit to the length of time the
vehicle may remain in AWD.
Engaging AWD
AWD can be engaged or disengaged while the vehicle is moving.
Initially, the vehicle’s electronic system will not enable the AWD until
the engine RPM is below 3100. Once enabled, the AWD remains
enabled until disabled with the drive mode switch.
Engage AWD before getting into conditions where front wheel drive
may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle
before switching to AWD.
NOTICE:
Switching to AWD while the rear wheels are spinning or slipping may
cause severe drive shaft and gearcase damage. Always switch to
AWD while the rear wheels have traction or are at rest.
