Rear Axle Differential Lock Control - Chevrolet 2007 Kodiak Owner's Manual

Rear Axle Differential Lock Control

You'll see this control on single rear axle vehicles.
If you're approaching a slippery surface where
it looks like one or even both wheels may start
to slip, you can press the bottom of this switch.
It locks your rear differential so that power is
transmitted equally to both rear wheels.
Let up on the accelerator before you turn on your
rear axle differential lock.
Notice: Turning on the inter-axle differential
lock while the rear wheels are spinning
freely, as they might on snow or ice, can
damage the axle(s). Turn on this control only
while the wheels are not spinning freely.
If your vehicle has a
controlled traction or
locking differential axle,
the switch is located
in the center of
the instrument panel.
