When the direction selector is in the center position, the vehicle is in neutral. The vehicle will not move if the accelerator pedal is depressed. Push the top of the switch to choose forward operation. Push the bottom of the switch to choose reverse operation. If the switch is changed while the accelerator pedal is depressed, the vehicle will not move in the new direction until the pedal is released, then depressed again.

TIP
The malfunction light will illuminate after reversing direction if you fail to release the throttle pedal after changing the switch.

Driveline Mode Switch

  • The Driveline Mode switch has three positions: All Wheel Drive (AWD), Differential Lock/Two Wheel Drive (2WD) and Off (1WD/Turf Mode).
  • Press the top of the switch to engage All Wheel Drive (AWD).
  • Move the switch to the center position to lock the differential and operate in two wheel drive (2WD).

Drive Mode Switch

caution
Changing the drive mode switch position while driving could result in an automatic increase or decrease in speed without a change to accelerator pedal pressure.

  • Press the top of the switch to select high mode. Use high mode for most trail-riding conditions. The vehicle will operate at speeds up to 25 MPH (40 km/h).
  • Press the bottom of the switch to select low mode. Low mode is recommended for short-term operation in extreme load conditions. Use low mode when towing, hauling loads or maneuvering over obstacles. Speed will be limited to a maximum of 10 MPH (16 km/h) and regenerative braking increases to improve control in aggressive terrain. Return the mode switch to high mode for normal operation.

Move the switch to the center position to select the maximum range mode. Use this mode to operate the vehicle a greater distance or for a longer time period. This mode limits both speed and torque to obtain the maximum driving range.
