Limited-Slip Differential

If equipped, the limited-slip differential can
give more traction on snow, mud, ice, sand,
or gravel. It works like a standard axle most
of the time, but when traction is low, this
feature allows the drive wheel with the
most traction to move the vehicle. For
vehicles with the limited-slip differential,
driven under severe conditions, the rear axle
fluid should be changed. See

Locking Rear Axle

If equipped, the locking rear axle can give
the vehicle additional traction from the rear
wheels when traveling in off-road situations
such as mud, snow, steep hills, and uneven
terrain.

Caution

If you try to lock the axle while the
vehicle is stuck and the tires are spinning,
the vehicle

s drivetrain could be damaged.

The repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Always lock the axle
before attempting situations and/or
navigating terrain that could cause the
vehicle to become stuck.

Caution

If the vehicle

s axle is locked while driving

on pavement, the drivetrain could be
damaged. Repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not use the
locking axle on pavement.

Before the front axle can be locked, the rear
axle must be locked and the transfer case
must be in 4

n

.

To lock the rear axle:

1. Press the rear axle locking switch with

the vehicle moving less than 40 km/h
(25 mph).

2. Wait for the light in the switch to stop

flashing and remain illuminated to show
that the rear axle is locked.

The locking rear axle will be disengaged
when the vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h
(25 mph). The Off-Road Mode allows the
axle lock to remain engaged at higher
vehicle speeds.

After pressing the switch to unlock the axle,
it may remain locked due to torque in the
driveline. The axle is more easily unlocked
