r
equireme
nts are met. See your authorized
dealer if system does not resume.

AXLE LOCKER SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
This vehicle is equipped with an electroni-
cally locking rear differential. This differen-
tial, when engaged, mechanically lock
together the axle shafts forcing the wheels to
spin at an equal rate. The locking of the rear
differential should only be engaged during
low-speed, extreme off-road situations where
one wheel is likely to not be in contact with
the ground. It is not recommended to drive
the vehicle with the differentials locked on
pavement due to the reduced ability to turn
and speed limitations.
