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 switch to off. 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.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Your vehicle may have a traction control system that
limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery
road conditions. The system operates only if it senses
that one or both of the rear wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction. When this happens,
the system applies the brake(s) at the affected wheel(s).
The bottom light on the TCS on/off button will come
on when the TCS is limiting wheel spin. You may feel or
hear the system working, but this is normal. The TCS
will function at speeds up to about 25 mph (42 km/h).
The TCS may operate on dry roads under some
conditions. When this happens, you may notice a
reduction in acceleration. This is normal and doesn’t
mean there’s a problem with your vehicle. Examples
of these conditions include a hard acceleration in a turn,
an abrupt upshift or downshift of the transmission or
driving on rough roads.
When the light in the top of the TCS button is on, the
TCS is off and will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your
driving accordingly.
The light in the top of the TCS button will come on if the
TCS is turned off by pressing the TCS on/off button.
The light may also come on if a problem has been
detected in either the traction control system or
the anti-lock brake system.
