All Wheel Drive (AWD) System

  • The All Wheel Drive system is controlled by the AWD switch. When the switch is on 2X4 , the vehicle is in two-wheel drive at all times. When the switch is on AWD , the vehicle is in all wheel drive and the 4X4 indicator in the instrument cluster will be on.
  • 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

The AWD switch may be turned on or off 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 the AWD switch is turned off. If the switch is turned off while the demand drive unit is moving, it will not disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.
Engage the AWD switch 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.
NOTE
For functional descriptions detailing how to operate the DYNAMIX suspension system on certain vehicle models, consult the Polaris RideCommand manual.
