Rear Axle Differential Lock Control
If your vehicle has a
controlled traction or
locking differential axle,
the switch is located in the
center of the instrument
panel.
You’ll see this control on single rear axle vehicles.
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
not spinning freely.
Wheel Differential Lock
This switch is located on
the center instrument
panel.
Press the switch to engage/lock the tandem front axle
differential to the rear axle differential. This driver
controlled feature improves traction over slippery or
uneven surfaces.
