When the AWD switch is on, the front wheels will automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction, the front wheels will automatically disengage.

Disengaging AWD Under certain conditions, it may be possible for the front gearcase to remain locked unnecessarily. This condition causes increased steering effort and some vehicle speed restriction. If the front gearcase remains locked after following these instructions, return the vehicle to your dealer for service. 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Operate in reverse for at least 10 feet. 3.
