All Wheel Drive/Active Descent Control System

ADC models are equipped with a drive mode switch that controls the AWD system. The AWD/ADC Drive Mode switch controls AWD through drive mode options which display in the information center of the gauge.

Drive Mode Operation

Use the drive mode switch to engage AWD (4X4), ADC 4X4, TURF mode or 2X4. The vehicle automatically engages 4X4 when operating in reverse if the drive mode is set to either AWD (4X4) or ADC 4X4.

Always operate in low gear and engage ADC 4X4 when transporting heavy loads and/or when towing.
Always operate in low gear and engage ADC 4X4 before ascending or descending a hill.

WARNING

Operate in TURF mode only as needed to protect smooth, level surfaces from tire damage. DO NOT operate in TURF mode when climbing or descending hills, when sidehilling, or when operating on uneven, loose, or slippery terrain such as sand, gravel, ice, snow, obstacles, and water crossings.

Drive Mode Switch

When the switch is released, the drive mode displayed in the information center is the active drive mode.

NOTICE

Drive Mode Indicator

The Drive Mode Indicator displays the active drive mode. The Drive Mode Indicator will match the information displayed in the Rider Information Center. An amber light flashes when drive mode selection is pending. Once in the selected drive mode, a solid amber light will show next to the active drive mode.
