See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
Automatic Locking Differential
Your axle may be equipped with an
automatic locking differential feature that
helps increase traction when traveling at
speeds less than 20 mph.
Once engaged, both rear wheels will
"lock" and rotate at the same speed,
improving vehicle traction. If one wheel
has poor traction, such as when on ice,
snow or mud, power will be transferred
to the wheel with better traction.
Traction Control System
(2WD models)
The Traction Control System (TCS)
detects wheelspin at one or both rear
wheels and reduces engine power
and/or upshifts the transmission to help
limit wheelspin. The TCS is designed to
come on anytime you start the engine.
Under most driving conditions, you
should leave the TCS turned on. But,
if your vehicle ever gets stuck in sand,
mud or snow and rocking the vehicle is
required, you may want to turn the TCS
off. See Section 4 of your Owner Manual
for important details.
To turn the TCS off
• Press the button located on the
instrument panel just above the radio.
The amber light will illuminate when
the TCS is turned off.
• Press the button again to turn the
TCS back on. The amber light will
turn off.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
