Inter-Axle Differential Lock Control
If you vehicle has this
feature, the switch is
located in the center of the
instrument panel.
If you’re approaching a slippery surface where it looks
like one or even all of the wheels may start to slip,
you can press the bottom of this switch. It locks your
rear differentials so that power is transmitted equally to
both rear axles.
Let up on the accelerator before you turn on your
inter-axle differential lock. When you turn on this control,
the DIFF LOCK indicator on the center of the instrument
panel will light.
Notice: Turning on the inter-axle differential lock
while the rear wheels are spinning freely, as
they might on snow or ice, can damage the axle(s).
Turn on this control only while the wheels are
not spinning freely.

If your vehicle has a
controlled traction or
locking differential axle, the

If you’re approaching a slippery surface where it looks
like one or even both wheels may start to slip, you
can press the bottom of this switch. It locks your rear
differential so that power is transmitted equally to
both rear wheels.
Let up on the accelerator before you turn on your rear
axle differential lock.
Notice: Turning on the inter-axle differential lock
while the rear wheels are spinning freely, as
they might on snow or ice, can damage the axle(s).
Turn on this control only while the wheels are
