Auxiliary Outlets

The auxiliary outlets can be used to power standard 12V accessories like a cell phone charger or a power inverter up to 120 watts. The driver’s side auxiliary outlet is always on, even when the vehicle is switched off and the key is removed.  This driver’s side outlet is always on so that a battery maintainer may be connected to maintain the battery while the vehicle is in storage. The passenger side outlet (and the rear outlet on 4000 models) switches on and off with the vehicle. These outlets cannot be used to charge the battery because they disconnect when the vehicle is off. 4000 models have a third auxiliary outlet on switched power located in the center console between the rear seats.

Gear Selector

Low gear is the primary driving range for the PRO XD. High gear is intended for use on hard-packed surfaces with light loads. Using high gear for heavy loads, hilly terrain or in wet, muddy conditions will increase the chance of drive belt spinning. An alarm will sound if the vehicle detects belt spin. See the Drive Belt Wear/Spin section on Drive Belt Wear/Spin.
H: High Gear
L: Low Gear
N: Neutral
R: Reverse
P: Park
To shift gears, brake to a complete stop. When the engine is idling, move the lever to the desired gear.
NOTICE
Shifting gears with the engine speed above idle or while the vehicle is moving could cause transmission damage. Always shift when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is at idle.
TIP
Maintaining shift linkage adjustment is important to assure proper transmission function. See your dealer if you experience any shifting problems.

Using Low Range

Always shift into low gear for any of the following conditions.
  • Operating in rough terrain or over obstacles
  • Loading the vehicle onto a trailer
  • Towing loads
  • Driving frequently at low RPM or at ground speeds below 11 km/h (7 MPH)

Reverse Alert Beeper

Putting the vehicle into reverse will automatically activate the reverse alert beeper.

Park Brake Lever

Always apply the service brakes before engaging or releasing the park brake . To help prevent the vehicle from rolling, set the park brake when parking the vehicle. When the park brake is set and the park brake indicator is illuminated, an alarm will sound if pressure is put on the throttle pedal.
TIP
This feature will not operate properly if the park brake connector or switch (under the dash) malfunctions or becomes disconnected, or if the switch has moved. Check for disconnection, then see your dealer or other qualified service person promptly if this feature fails to operate properly.
  1. To set the park brake, apply the brakes. Pull the park brake lever towards yourself as far as possible.
  2. To release the park brake, apply the brakes. Turn the park brake lever counterclockwise and push it in as far as possible.
