•The electronic locking differential maynot engage if you press youraccelerator pedal during anengagement attempt. A message maydisplay in the instrument displayguiding you to release the acceleratorpedal.
•In four-wheel drive low (4L), the frontelectronic locking differentialautomatically disengages at speedsabove 25 mph (41 km/h) andautomatically re-engages at speedsbelow 20 mph (32 km/h).
•The AdvanceTrac system has theability to take over control of theelectronic locking differential anddisable it during driving maneuverswhen necessary.
Operating Electronic LockingDifferential With a Spare orMismatched Tires
On vehicles with an electronic lockingdifferential, the size of the spare tire canaffect performance of the system. If thereis a significant difference between the tworear tires or two front tires, you may havelimited electronic locking differentialfunctionality. If the electronic lockingdifferential has difficulty disengaging,
release the accelerator pedal and turn thesteering wheel in the opposite directionwhen rolling. We recommend engagingand disengaging the electronic lockingdifferential at a stop when you mount aspare or mismatched tire on either axle.
