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
the operating speed range. The electronic
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.
ELECTRONIC LOCKING
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
279

(If Equipped)

the accelerator pedal and turn the steering
wheel in the opposite direction when
rolling. We recommend engaging and
disengaging the electronic locking
differential at a stop when you mount a
spare on the rear axle.
SWITCHING THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL ON
AND OFF - 4X4
The button to activate and deactivate the
electronic locking differential is in the
center of the drive mode rotary switch.
To manually activate or deactivate the
electronic locking differential, press the
electronic locking differential button.
Note:
The electronic locking differential can
activate or deactivate automatically based
on speed, four-wheel drive mode, and drive
mode selection. See Selecting a Drive
Mode (page 350).

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
eliminate the risk of crash when:
• You drive too closely to the vehicle in
front of you.
• Your vehicle is hydroplaning.
• You take corners too fast.
• The road surface is poor.
Note: If the system activates, the brake
pedal could pulse and travel further.
Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. BRAKE OVER ACCELERATOR
In the event the accelerator pedal
becomes stuck or entrapped, apply steady
and firm pressure to the brake pedal to
slow the vehicle and reduce engine power.
If you experience this condition, apply the
brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe
stop. Move the transmission to park (P),
switch the engine off and apply the parking
brake. Inspect the accelerator pedal for
any interference. If none are found and the
condition persists, have your vehicle towed
to the nearest authorized dealer.
