LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
This axle provides added traction on
slippery surfaces, particularly when one
wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under
normal conditions, the limited slip axle
functions like a standard rear axle. The axle
may exhibit a slight noise or vibration in
tight turns with low vehicle speed. This is
normal behavior and indicates the axle is
working.
ELECTRONIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL
WARNING
Do not operate the system on sealed
roads. Doing so may lead to
excessive tire noise and wear. Use
the system only in consistently slippery or
loose surface.
The system locks the left and right portions
of the rear axle together to form a solid
driving axle, resulting in increased rear
wheel traction in certain conditions.
Press the Electronic Locking Differential
(ELD) button to activate the system. For
item location: See
Instrument Panel
Overview
(page 15).
The rear axle will lock and unlock when the
internal gears are aligned and with no
torque load on the differential. To aid
alignment, drive the vehicle in a straight
line with the accelerator pedal released.
Alternatively, drive slowly forward and
backward while moving the steering wheel
from side to side to allow the internal
differential gears to align.
The system will:
•
Automatically disengage when a speed
of 24.9 mph (40 km/h) is exceeded.
•
Automatically re-engage when the
speed drops below 18.6 mph
(30 km/h).
•
Automatically disengage when the
ignition is turned off.
Note:
The system activates when the
vehicle speed is less than 18.6 mph
(30 km/h) and accelerator pedal released.
Note:
The system can be used in any
transmission drive range (2H, 4H or 4L).
If the system is selected when driving
above 24.9 mph (40 km/h), the request is
stored and will be engaged when the
vehicle speed reduces to 18.6 mph
(30 km/h). The ELD indicator lamp will
flash until either the vehicle speed reduces
and the differential lock is engaged or the
driver deselects the ELD button.
Note:
When the system is engaged, the
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) functions
such as Stability Control, Traction Control,
Hill Descent Control, Emergency stop signal,
Hill Start Assist and Trailer stability control
will be deactivated, the ESP off indicator
illuminates, and the HDC on indicator turns
off.
Note:
When the ABS is operating, the
system will be disengaged.
