“” in the On-Command four-wheel-drive indica-
tor also comes on when the On-Command differ-
ential gear lock switch is set to the “LOCK”
position.NOTE:Due to the synchronizing mechanism in the dif-
ferential gear case, the four-wheel-drive indica-
tor may not come on until the ATV starts moving.When the On-Command differential gear lock
switch is set to “LOCK”, the indicator “” willflash until the differential gear is locked.EBU17970Park indicator light “”

EBU18040Multifunction display The multifunction display is equipped with the fol-
lowing:a speedometer (which shows the riding speed)an odometer (which shows the total distance
traveled)
two tripmeters (which show the distance trav-
eled since they were last set to zero)a clockan hour meter (which shows the total time the
key has been turned to “ON”)a fuel meter
Odometer and tripmeter modes
Pushing the “TRIP/ODO” button switches the dis-
play between the odometer mode “ODO” and the
tripmeter modes “A” and “B” in the following order:
ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO
To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the
“TRIP/ODO” button, and then push the
“TRIP/ODO” button for at least three seconds. The
tripmeters can be used to estimate the distance
that can be traveled with a full tank of fuel. This in-
formation will enable you to plan future fuel stops.
NOTE:Holding in the “TRIP/ODO” button and then turning
the key to “ON” switches the display between“mph” and “km/h”.

4 es with the riding speed. You may lose control
and have an accident if you cannot make a
sharp enough turn for the speed you are trav-
eling.EBU26602On-Command four-wheel-drive switch
“2WD”/“4WD”
This ATV is equipped with a switch to change from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive and vice-versa.
Select the appropriate drive according to the ter-
rain and the conditions.“2WD” (two-wheel drive): Power is supplied to
the rear wheels.“4WD” (four-wheel drive): Power is supplied to
the rear and front wheels.
To change from two-wheel drive to four-wheel
drive, stop the ATV and push the switch in to the

WARNING
EWB00161Always stop the ATV before changing from
two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive and vice-
versa. The ATV handles differently in two-
wheel drive than in four-wheel drive in some
circumstances. Changing from two-wheel
drive to four-wheel drive or vice-versa while
moving may cause the ATV to unexpectedly
handle differently. This could distract the oper-
ator and increase the risk of losing control andof causing an accident.1. On-Command four-wheel-drive switch “2WD”/“4WD”

This ATV is equipped with a switch allowing you to
lock the differential gear when in four-wheel drive.
Select the appropriate switch position according to
the terrain and the conditions.“4WD” (four-wheel drive): Power is supplied to
the rear and front wheels.“LOCK” (four-wheel drive with the differential
gear locked): Power is supplied to the rear and
front wheels and the differential gear is locked.
Unlike in four-wheel drive, all wheels turn at the
same speed.To lock the differential gear in four-wheel drive,
make sure the On-Command four-wheel-drive
switch is pushed in to the “4WD” position.
Stop the ATV, move the differential gear lock lever
to position (a), and then push the differential gear
lock switch in to the “LOCK” position. When the dif-
ferential gear is locked, the differential gear lock in-
dicator “DIFF. LOCK” will come on along with the
indicator “” in the multifunction meter display.1. On-Command four-wheel-drive switch “2WD”/“4WD”
