AXLE LOCKER SYSTEM —
POWER WAGON MODELS
ONLY (IF EQUIPPED)
This vehicle is equipped with electronically lock-
ing front and rear differentials. These differen-
tials, when engaged, mechanically lock to-
gether the axle shafts forcing the wheels to spin
at an equal rate. This allows the vehicle to
maintain its momentum and prevents it from
becoming stuck. The locking front and rear
differentials 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 pave-
ment due to the reduced ability to turn and
speed limitations.
CAUTION!
•
Do not lock the front or rear axle on hard
surfaced roads. The ability to steer the
vehicle is reduced and damage to the
drivetrain may occur when the axles are
locked on hard surfaced roads.
•
Do not try to lock the rear axle if the vehicle
is stuck and the tires are spinning. You can
damage drivetrain components. Lock the
rear axle before attempting situations or
navigating terrain, which could possibly
cause the vehicle to become stuck.
The locking axles are controlled by the axle
locker switch.
