Electronic Locking Differential
WHAT IS THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL -
EXCLUDING: RAPTOR
The electronic locking differential is a
device housed in the rear axle and when
activated, allows both wheels on that axle
to turn at the same speed. The electronic
locking differential can provide additional
traction should your vehicle become stuck.
You can activate the electronic locking
differential and shift it on the fly within the
operating speed range. The electronic
locking differential automatically
disengages when the vehicle speed
exceeds a set value and automatically
reengages when the vehicle speed goes
below a set value. See Switching the
Electronic Locking Differential On and
Off (page 209). It also automatically
engages based on certain selected drive
modes. See Four-Wheel Drive Modes
(page 204).
The electronic locking differential is for use
in mud, rocks, sand, or any off-road
condition where you need maximum
traction. It is not for use on dry pavement.
Note: The electronic locking differential is
for off-road use only and not for use on dry
pavement. Using the electronic locking
differentials on dry pavement results in
increased tire wear, noise and vibration or
driveline damage.
Note: Switching the electronic locking
differential off while turning results in
disengagement difficulties. If the electronic
locking differential has difficulty
disengaging, release the accelerator pedal
and turn the steering wheel back and forth
in small increments while maintaining
control and following a straight line.

WHAT IS THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL -
RAPTOR
The electronic locking differential is a
device housed in the front or rear axle and,
when activated allows both wheels on that
axle to turn at the same speed. The
electronic locking differential can provide
additional traction should your vehicle
become stuck. You can activate the
differential electronically and shift it on the
fly within the operating speed range. The
electronic differential automatically
disengages when the vehicle speed
exceeds a set value and it automatically
reengages when the vehicle speed goes
below a set value. See Switching the
Electronic Locking Differential On and
Off (page 209). It also automatically
engages based on certain selected drive
modes. See Four-Wheel Drive Modes
(page 204). The electronic locking
differential is for use in mud, rocks, sand,
or any off-road condition where you need
maximum traction. It is not for use on dry
pavement.
Note: The electronic locking differentials
are for off-road use only and not for use on
dry pavement. Using the electronic locking
differentials on dry pavement results in
increased tire wear, noise and vibration or
driveline damage.
Note: The front electronic locking
differential is only available in four-wheel
drive low (4L).
Note: Locking the front differential reduces
your ability to make tight turning maneuvers
and creates additional resistance to steering
inputs.
