TRAC-LOK REAR AXLE —
IF EQUIPPED
The Trac-Lok rear axle provides a constant driving force
to both rear wheels and reduces wheel spin caused by
the loss of traction at one driving wheel. If traction dif-
fers between the two rear wheels, the differential auto-
matically proportions the usable torque by providing
more torque to the wheel that has traction.
Trac-Lok is especially helpful during slippery driving
conditions. With both rear wheels on a slippery surface,
a slight application of the accelerator will supply maxi-
mum traction.
WARNING!
On vehicles equipped with a limited-slip differential,
never run the engine with one rear wheel off the
ground. The vehicle may drive through the rear wheel
remaining on the ground and cause you to lose con-
trol of your vehicle.
AXLE LOCK (TRU-LOK) FRONT AND
REAR — IF EQUIPPED

•
Both right and left wheels on axle are at the same

The indicator lights will flash until the axles are fully
locked or unlocked.
To unlock the axles, push the AXLE LOCK OFF button.
Axle Lock will disengage if the vehicle is taken out of 4L
(Four-Wheel Drive Low Range), or the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position.
STARTING AND OPERATING
The Axle Lock disengages at speeds above 30 mph
(48 km/h), and will automatically re-lock once vehicle
speed is less than 10 mph (16 km/h).
