Limited-Slip Differential

(Except Z51)

If equipped, the mechanical
limited-slip differential can give more
traction on snow, mud, ice, sand,
or gravel. It works like a standard
axle most of the time, but when
traction is low, this feature allows
the drive wheel with the most
traction to move the vehicle. For
vehicles with limited slip differential,
driven under severe conditions, the
rear axle fluid should be changed.
See Competitive Driving Mode on
page 9-32.
Limited-Slip Differential

(Z51 Only)

If equipped, the Electronic Limited
Slip Differential (ELSD) is
automatically activated. ELSD
actively monitors vehicle sensors
and driver inputs to determine the
amount of change for the
conditions. With ELSD, the
vehicle has:
Enhanced high-speed control.
Improved traction through
corners, allowing more
acceleration.
More precise steering.
Increased vehicle agility.
Integration with StabiliTrak.
For vehicles with limited slip
differential, driven under severe
conditions, the rear axle fluid should
be changed. See Competitive
Driving Mode on page 9-32.

Cruise Control

With cruise control, a speed of
about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more
can be maintained without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. Cruise
control does not work at speeds
below about 40 km/h (25 mph).
Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. Do not use
cruise control on winding roads or
in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such roads,
fast changes in tyre traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
