The front differential is fully locked
when the switch is pushed upward. It's
a momentary position. When the front
diff. is locked, the switch light will illu-
minate and a message will appear in
the cluster for 2 seconds to say "DIFF
LOCK". A padlock pictogram will ap-
pear inside the 4x4 logo. The light will
turn off when the differential is un-
locked and a message in the cluster
will appear and show "SMART-LOK",
meaning that you are back in the auto-
matic mode. For all models with Smar-
t-Locker, the AUTO pictogram will lit
above the 4x4 logo in the cluster.
When the front differential is locked,
the effort to turn the steering wheel
82
might be higher and the response
might be slower.
