Positraction Rear Axle
The optional Positraction pro­
vides additional traction on snow ,
ice , mud, sand, and gravel, par­
ticularly when one rear wheel
is on
a surface providing poor traction.
During normal driving and cor­
nering, the Positraction unit
func~
tions as a standard differential.
When one wheel encounters a slip­
pery surface, however , the Positrac­
tion directs driving force to the rear
wheel having the better traction.

interlock so the windows cannot be
operated unless the ignition switch
is in the "on" position.
REMINDER: Remove the ignition
key when the vehicle

tended by a responsible person.

dows
is provided at the driver's
position. Also, an individual switch
is provided under right window for
passenger use.
