WHAT IS THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
The electronic locking differential is a
device housed in the rear axle, and can
provide additional traction when needed.
HOW DOES THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
WORK
You can activate the differential
electronically and shift it on the fly within
the operating speed range. The electronic
differential disengages when the vehicle
speed exceeds a set value, and reengages
when the vehicle speed goes below a set
value. See Switching the Electronic
Locking Differential On and Off (page
280). It also engages based on certain
selected drive modes. See Selecting a
Drive Mode (page 350). The electronic
locking differential is for use in mud, rocks,
sand, or any off-road condition where you
need maximum traction.
Note: The electronic locking differential can
activate or deactivate automatically based
on speed, four-wheel drive mode, and drive
mode selection.
See Switching the
Electronic Locking Differential On and
Off
(page 280).
Note: The electronic locking differential is
for off-road use only and is not for use on
dry pavement. Using the electronic locking
differential on dry pavement results in
increased tire wear, noise and vibration. HOW DOES THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
WORK - RAPTOR
You can activate the differential
electronically and shift it on the fly within

differential disengages when the vehicle
speed exceeds a set value and it reengages
when the vehicle speed goes below a set
value depending on drive mode. See
Switching the Electronic Locking
Differential On and Off (page 280). The
electronic locking differential is for use in
mud, rocks, sand, or any off-road condition
where you need maximum traction.
Note:
The electronic locking differential can
activate or deactivate automatically based
on speed, four-wheel drive mode, and drive
mode selection. See
Switching the
Electronic Locking Differential On and
Off
(page 280).
Note: The electronic locking differential is
for off-road use only and is not for use on
dry pavement. Using the electronic locking
differential on dry pavement results in
increased tire wear, noise and vibration.
Note: The electronic locking differential is
not available in 2H.

DIFFERENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Operating the Electronic Locking
Differential with a Spare or
Mismatched Tires
On vehicles with an electronic locking
differential, the size of the spare tire can
affect performance of the system. If there
is a significant difference between the two
rear tires, you may have limited electronic
locking differential functionality. If the
system has difficulty disengaging, release

BRAKE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Driving your vehicle
with the warning lamp on is dangerous.
A significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It may take you
longer to stop your vehicle. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Driving extended distances with the
parking brake engaged can cause brake
failure and the risk of personal injury.
Wet brakes result in reduced braking
efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a
few times when leaving a car wash or
driving from standing water to dry the
brakes.
Note: Depending on applicable laws and
regulations in the country for which your
vehicle was originally built, the stoplamps
could flash during heavy braking. Following
this the hazard warning flashers could also
turn on when your vehicle comes to a stop.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
The anti-lock braking system does not
