TIP

The respective drive indicator flashes until
the gears are engaged or disengaged.


To help the gears engage or disengage when
a drive indicator (and indicator light) is flash-
ing, make sure that there are no obstacles or
people around the vehicle, and then briefly
operate the vehicle a few times in reverse
and forward until the indicator (and indicator
light) for the selected drive mode comes on.
In addition to operating in reverse and for-
ward, also turning the steering wheel back
and forth will help the front differential gear
lock engage or disengage.
See “OPERATION” on pages 6-17–6-19 for more
information.

When the On-Command drive indicator “” or the On-Command drive indicator “” and the “DIFF.
LOCK” indicator light are flashing, the vehicle speed is limited. The vehicle speed returns to normal
when the differential gear engagement or disengagement is completed and the indicators and indica-
tor light stop flashing.

Steering wheel
Keep both hands on the steering wheel. Do not
hold the steering wheel with your thumbs inside
the rim. Keep your palms on the outside of the
steering wheel. Similar to other off-road vehicles, if
the Rhino hits a deep rut or large obstacle, the
steering wheel could briefly jerk in one direction or
back and forth as the tires and vehicle respond to
the obstacle. This quick motion could injure your
thumbs or wrist if your thumbs or hand(s) are in-
side the steering wheel. Grip the steering wheel so
that your thumbs will not be hit by the spokes. As
an example, see the illustration.
