FEATURES AND CONTROLS

All Wheel Drive/Rear Differential System

Engaging AWD

Press the top of the switch to 
engage All Wheel Drive (AWD). 
The 4X4 indicator illuminates in 
the rider information center to 
indicate that the vehicle is in 
AWD. See page 47

.

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

Tip: The AWD switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving. 

Engage the AWD before getting into conditions where front wheel drive 
may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle 
before switching to AWD.

NOTICE: Switching to AWD while the rear wheels are spinning may cause 

severe drive shaft and clutch damage. Always switch to AWD while 
the rear wheels have traction or are at rest.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

All Wheel Drive/Rear Differential System

Disengaging AWD

Move the AWD switch to the center or bottom position to disengage 
AWD. If the switch is turned off while the front hubs are driving, they 
will not release until the rear wheels regain traction.

In some situations, the front gearcase may remain locked after turning 
the AWD switch off. If this occurs, you may notice increased steering 
effort and some vehicle speed restriction. Perform the following 
procedure to unlock the front gearcase.

1. Stop the vehicle.

2. Operate in reverse for at least 10 feet (3 m).

3. Stop completely.

4. Shift into low gear and drive forward.

5. If the front gearcase remains locked after following these 

instructions, see your dealer for service.

Locking the Differential

NOTICE: Damage to the differential can occur if it is engaged while the vehicle 

is traveling at high speeds or while the rear wheels are spinning. 
Slow the vehicle to nearly stopped before engaging the differential.

Locking the differential in slippery or low traction conditions helps 
improve traction. Move the rocker switch to the center position (2WD) 
to lock the differential and operate in rear wheel drive. See illustration 
below.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

All Wheel Drive/Rear Differential System

Unlocking the Differential/TURF Mode (LE Models Only)

When operating in TURF mode, the 
inside rear wheel will rotate 
independently from the outside wheel 
during turns. Operate in TURF mode 
only as needed
 to protect smooth, level 
surfaces from tire damage. DO NOT 
operate in TURF mode when climbing 
or descending hills, when sidehilling, or 
when operating on uneven, loose, or 
slippery terrain such as sand, gravel, ice, 
snow, obstacles, and water crossings. 
Always operate in AWD on these types 
of terrain.

WARNING! Operating in TURF mode (if 
equipped) when on sloped, uneven, or loose 
terrain could cause loss of control and result 
in serious injury or death. One rear wheel 
may slip and lose traction or may lift up and 
grab when it touches the ground again.

Press the bottom of the switch to unlock the differential and allow the 
rear drive wheels to operate independently. This mode of operation is 
well suited to turf driving or whenever aggressive traction is not 
required.

Extreme Use Battery

An optional extreme use battery may be available for your model. If the 
performance of the factory-installed battery is inadequate due to 
operation in extreme cold or due to extended use of multiple electrical 
accessories, your POLARIS dealer can assist. Ask your dealer to 
provide any installation procedures that may differ for an extreme use 
battery.
