Switches

Not all switches are present on every model.

Ignition Switch

The ignition switch is a three-position, key-operated switch. The key can be removed from the switch when it is in the OFF position.

OFF	The engine is off. Electrical circuits are off.
ON	Electrical circuits are on. Electrical equipment can be used.
START	Turn the key to the START position to engage the electric starter. The key returns to the ON position when released.

Light Switch

The ignition switch key must be in the ON/RUN position to operate the headlights. Press the top of the rocker switch toward the dash to place the headlights on high beam. Move the rocker switch to the center position to place the headlights on low beam. Press the bottom of the rocker switch to turn off the headlights.

AWD Switch

The AWD 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).
Press the bottom of the switch to unlock the differential and allow the rear drive wheels to operate independently (1WD). This mode of operation is well suited to turf driving or when active traction is not needed.
