Electronic Locking Differential

WHAT IS THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
The electronic locking differential is a
device housed in the rear axle and when
activated, allows both wheels on that axle
to turn at the same speed. The electronic
locking differential provides additional
traction should your vehicle become stuck.
HOW DOES THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
WORK
You can activate the differential
electronically and shift it on the fly within
the operating speed range. The electronic
differential disengages when the vehicle
speed exceeds a set value and it reengages
when the vehicle speed drops below a set
value. See Switching the Electronic
Locking Differential On and Off (page
242). The electronic locking differential
could engage based on certain selected
drive modes. See Selecting a Drive Mode
(page 309). The electronic locking
differential is for use in mud, rocks, sand,
or any off-road condition where you need
maximum traction.
Note: The electronic locking differential is
for off-road use only and is not for use on
dry pavement. Using the electronic locking
differential on dry pavement results in
increased tire wear, noise and vibration.
Note: The electronic locking differential
activates or deactivates automatically
based on speed, four-wheel drive mode, and
drive mode selection. See Switching the
Electronic Locking Differential On and
Off (page 242).

ELECTRONIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Operating the Electronic Locking
Differential with a Spare or
Mismatched Tires
On vehicles with an electronic locking
differential, the size of the spare tire can
affect performance of the system. If there
is a significant difference between the two
rear tires, you may have limited electronic
locking differential functionality. If the
system has difficulty disengaging, release
the accelerator pedal and turn the steering
wheel in the opposite direction when
rolling. We recommend engaging and
disengaging the electronic locking
differential at a stop when you mount a
spare on the rear axle.
SWITCHING THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL ON
AND OFF - 4X4
Press the electronic lock differential switch
to engage and disengage the locking
differential.
