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 dif-
fers bet ween the two rear wheels, the differential auto-
matically proportions the usable torque by providing
more torque to the wheel that has traction.
Trac-Lok is especially helpful during slippery driving
conditions. With both rear wheels on a slippery surface,
a slight applicatio n of the accelerator will supply maxi-
mum traction.
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 t he ground and cause you to lose con-
trol of your vehicle.

The indicator lights will flash until the axles are fully
locked or unlocked.
To unlock the axles, push the AXLE LOCK OFF button.

4L, or the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.
The Axle Lock disengages at speeds above 30 mph
(48 km/h), and will automatically re-lock once vehicle
speed is less than 10 mph (16 km/h).
The axle lock disengages at speeds above 48 km/h
(30 mph), and will automatically re-lock once vehicle
speed is less than 16 km/h (10 mph).
The axle lock disengages at speeds above 48 km/h,
and will automatically re-lock once vehicle speed is less
