204 Driving and Operating
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 by turning the
steering wheel to the right and to
the left while traveling at a low
speed.
Locking Front Axle
If equipped, the locking front axle
can give the vehicle additional
traction 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.
