DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
The rear differential lock system is designed to be used only
when low-speed wheel spin occurs in a ditch, or on a slippery or
uneven surface. The indicator light will blink when switch is turned
on as system completes locking operation. After the differential is
locked, the light will stop blinking and remain on.
The rear differential lock system will not lock with vehicle
in 4H or 2H position, and if vehicle speed is greater than 7 MPH.
Vehicle speed should be maintained at less than 12 MPH during rear
differential lock operation.
NOTE: The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) does not operate when the
rear differential is locked. It is normal for the ABS
warning light to be on at this time.
COMPONENT LOCATIONS
