FEATURES AND CONTROLS

All Wheel Drive (6X6) System

The All Wheel Drive system 

is controlled by the AWD 

momentary switch.
Engage 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.
• Move the momentary 

switch to the right to 

engage AWD (6X6).

• Move the momentary switch to the right, past the AWD setting, to 

engage ADC AWD.

• Move the momentary switch to the far left to operate in rear four-

wheel drive (4X6). When the switch is on 4X6, the middle and rear 

wheels drive at all times.

NOTICE: Switching to AWD or ADC AWD while the rear wheels are spinning 

may cause severe drive shaft and gearcase damage. Always switch 

to AWD or ADC AWD while the rear wheels have traction or are at 

rest.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

All Wheel Drive (6X6) System

AWD Mode

Move the momentary switch to the right to engage AWD (6X6). AWD 

will engage when engine speed slows to below 3100 RPM. The gauge 

will display “AWD”. 
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD. 

The vehicle automatically engages AWD when operating in reverse if 

the switch is set to the AWD position.
Once enabled, AWD remains enabled until the switch is turned off. If 

the switch is turned off while the demand drive unit is moving, it will 

not disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.
When in AWD, the demand drive unit will automatically engage any 

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

the demand drive unit will automatically disengage.

ADC AWD Mode

Move the momentary switch to the right, past the 

AWD setting, to engage ADC AWD. When the switch 

is on ADC AWD, the ADC system allows engine 

braking to all six wheels when the vehicle descends a 

hill or incline. Always move the AWD switch to ADC 

AWD before ascending or descending a hill. See page 

33.

4X6 Mode

Move the momentary switch to the far left to operate 

in rear four-wheel drive (4X6). When the switch is on 

4X6, the middle and rear wheels drive at all times. 

AWD will disengage when engine speed slows to 

below 3100 RPM. 

NOTE: The gauge will display “2X4” when operating in 

rear four-wheel drive (4X6).

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Active Descent Control (ADC) System

The ADC system allows engine braking to all four wheels when the 

vehicle descends a hill or incline. Always move the AWD switch to 

ADC AWD before ascending or descending a hill.

Engaging Active Descent Control

The ADC system will automatically engage when all four of the 

following conditions occur:
• The AWD switch must be in the ADC AWD position
• Vehicle speed must be 15 MPH (25 km/h) or less
• The throttle must be closed (throttle lever released)
• The transmission must be in gear (high, low or reverse)

Disengaging Active Descent Control

The ADC system will automatically disengage if at least one of the 

following conditions occur:
• The AWD switch is moved out of the ADC AWD position
• Vehicle speed exceeds 15 MPH (25 km/h)
• The throttle is open (throttle is applied)
• The transmission is shifted to neutral or park

damage the speedometer lens and other plastic surfaces. Do not use 

alcohol to clean the instrument cluster. Do not allow insect sprays to 

contact the lens. Immediately clean off any gasoline that splashes on 

the instrument cluster.
