Locking Rear Axle

Vehicles with a locking rear axle 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 will
allow the rear wheel with the most
traction to move the vehicle.
Road Sensing
Suspension
The Road Sensing
Suspension (RSS) feature provides
superior vehicle ride and handling
under a variety of passenger and
loading conditions.
The system is fully automatic and
uses a computer controller to
continuously monitor vehicle speed,
wheel to body position, lift/dive and
steering position of the vehicle. The
controller then sends signals to
each shock absorber to
independently adjust the damping
level to provide the optimum
vehicle ride.
Black plate (44,1)
RSS also interacts with the tow/haul
mode that, when engaged, will
provide additional control of the
shock absorbers. This additional
control results in better ride and
handling characteristics when the
vehicle is loaded or towing a trailer.
See Tow/Haul Mode under Towing
Equipment on page 9-68.

Continuous Damping

Control (CDC)

This vehicle may have a continuous
damping control system called
®
Autoride or MagneRide . With
this feature, improved vehicle ride
and handling is provided under a
variety of passenger and loading
conditions.
