Can-Am 2009 Outlander 500 EFI Operator's Manual - 3) Brake Lever
CONTROLS/INSTRUMENTS/EQUIPMENT
V07I0DY
4WD MODE
To deselect the 4WD mode, press the
selector on 2WD.
V07I0EY
2WD MODE
When the selector is located on the
2WD, the vehicle is in 2 wheel drive at
all time.
3) Brake Lever
When the brake lever is compressed,
the front and rear brakes are applied.
When released, the brake lever should
automatically return to its original po-
sition. Braking effect is proportional
to the force applied on the lever and to
the type and condition of the terrain.
NOTE:
As on other wheeled vehicles,
the vehicle weight is transferred to the
front wheels when braking. To obtain
greater stopping efficiency, the brake
system distributes more braking force
to the front wheels. This will affect
vehicle handling and steering control
when braking vigorously. Take it into
account when braking.

cle is not in operation.
