212 STARTING AND OPERATING
Trac-Lok Rear Axle — If Equipped
The Trac-Lok rear axle provides a constant
driving force to both rear wheels and reduces
wheel spin caused by the loss of traction at one
driving wheel. If traction differs between the two
rear wheels, the differential automatically
proportions the usable torque by providing
more torque to the wheel that has traction.
Trac-Lok is especially helpful during slippery
dri
ving conditions. With both rear wheels on a
slippery surface, a slight application of the
accelerator will supply maximum traction.
Axle Lock (Tru-Lok) — Rubicon Models
The AXLE LOCK switch is located on the
instrument panel (to the right of the steering
column).
Axle Lock Switch Panel
This feature will only activate when the following
con
ditions are met:
Ignition in RUN position, vehicle in 4L
(Four-Wheel Drive Low Range).
Vehicle speed should be 10 mph (16 km/h)
or less.
Both right and left wheels on axle are at the
same speed.
To activate the system, push the AXLE LOCK
swi
tch down to lock the rear axle only (the
“REAR ONLY” will illuminate), push the switch
up to lock the front axle and rear axle (the
“FRONT + REAR” will illuminate). When the rear
axle is locked, pushing the bottom of switch
again will lock or unlock the front axle.
NOTE:
The indicator lights will flash until the axles are
ful
ly locked or unlocked.
To unlock the axles, push the AXLE LOCK OFF
but
ton.
Axle lock will disengage if the vehicle is taken
out
of 4L (Four-Wheel Drive Low Range), or the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.
The axle lock disengages at speeds above
30 m
ph (48 km/h), and will automatically
re-
lock once vehicle speed is less than 10 mph
(16
km/h).
WARNING!
On vehicles equipped with a limited-slip
differential, never run the engine with one
rear wheel off the ground. The vehicle may
drive through the rear wheel remaining on the
ground and cause you to lose control of your
vehicle.
