FEATURES

All Wheel Drive (AWD) System

Polaris 4-wheel drive ATVs are

equipped with a unique,

Polaris-exclusive, Demand 4 Drive

(AWD) system activated by a switch

(1) on the right handlebar. When

the switch i s off, the ATV is in 2

wheel drive at all times. When the

switch is on, the ATV is in Demand

4 Drive and the AWD indicator light

(2) will be on.

When in AWD, the front gearcase will automatically engage any time

the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction, the

front gearcase will automatically disengage.

NOTE: The override switch allows activation of AWD in reverse if

the Demand 4 Drive switch is on. See page 36.

There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in

Demand 4 Drive.

Engaging Front Gearcase

The Demand 4 Drive switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle

is moving. Initially, the vehicle’s electronic system will not enable the

AWD until the engine R PM is below 3100. Once enabled, the AWD

remains enabled until the Demand 4 Drive switch is turned off. If the

switch is t urned off while the front gearcase is moving, it will not

disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.

Engage the Demand 4 Drive switch before getting into conditions

where front wheel drive may be needed. If the rear wheels are

spinning, release the throttle before switching to AWD.

Switching to A WD while the rear wheels are spinning may cause

severe drive shaft and gearcase damage.

Always switch to AWD while the rear wheels have traction or are

at rest.
