the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction, the
front gearcase will automatically disengage.

The AWD 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 RPM is below 3100. Once enabled, the AWD remains
enabled until the AWD switch is turned off. If the switch is turned off
while the front gearcase is moving, it will not disengage until the rear
wheels regain traction.
Engage the AWD 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 AWD while the rear wheels are spinning may cause
severe drive shaft and gearcase damage. Always switch to A WD
while the rear wheels have traction or are at rest.
