AXLE LOCKER SYSTEM

This vehicle is equipped with an electronically
locking rear differential. This differential, when
engaged, mechanically lock together the axle
shafts forcing the wheels to spin at an equal
rate. The locking of the rear differential 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 pavement due to the
reduced ability to turn and speed limitations.
Axle Lock Button
CAUTION!
Do not lock the rear axle on hard surfaced

roads. The ability to steer the vehicle is
reduced and damage to the drivetrain may
occur when the axle is 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 rear axle is controlled by the AXLE
LOCK button.
Under normal driving conditions, the rear axle
should be unlocked.
During the command to lock the rear axle, the
indicator light will flash until the axle is locked.
After the lock command has been successfully
executed, the light will remain solid.
