Figure 3-12
This vehicle is equipped with a traction control system that
provides three different traction modes. Select the mode that
works best for the conditions or terrain that the vehicle is
encountering at the time.
Engaging one of the front wheels in slippery or low traction
conditions helps improve traction. Move the traction control
switch to either the "2" or "3" position when more traction is
desired.
The traction control switch should only be switched from
one position to another when the vehicle is stopped.
1. Front axle (not engaged)/Rear axle (unlocked differen-
tial) – When the traction control switch is in this posi-
tion the rear drive wheels will operate independently of
each other. This position provides the least surface
damage, tire wear, and best turning in good traction
conditions.
During normal driving conditions use this position.
This position can be used when the gear select lever is
in either the LOW range or HIGH range position.
2. Front axle (unlocked differential) / Rear axle (unlocked
differential) – When the traction control switch is in
this position, one of the rear wheels and one of the
front wheels are engaged and providing the power. In
this position the rear axle propels the vehicle just like
in Position 1, but, if a rear wheel slips a front wheel will
engage.
Use this position when more traction is required.
This position can be used when the gear select lever is
in either the LOW range or HIGH range position.
3. Front axle (unlocked differential) / Rear axle (locked dif-
ferential) – When the traction control switch is in this
REV A
position, both rear wheels turn at the same speed. If
the rear wheels slip a front wheel will engage.
Use this position when more traction is required.
Only use this position when the gear select lever is in
the LOW range position. Using this position will
increase tire wear and reduce the turning radius.
