WHAT IS THE ELECTRONIC
LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
The electronic limited-slip differential systemdirects torque across the axle, enabling thevehicle to drive over terrain and roadconditions that a conventional axle cannot.The system is active at all times and requiresno input from the driver.
Note:If your vehicle is not at optimaloperating conditions or a system fault ispresent, a warning may display in theinstrument cluster. Depending on thewarning, you may need to service yourvehicle.
Operating the Electronic Limited-SlipDifferential with a Spare or MismatchedTires
If your vehicle has an electronic limited-slipdifferential, do not use a spare tire of adifferent size than the tire provided. If youhave a spare tire installed, a message mayappear indicating the system has disabledautomatically or reduced function to preventsystem overheat and damage. Werecommend you reinstall the repaired orreplaced spare tire as soon as possible.When you replace the spare tire, the systemresumes normal operation on the next keycycle.
Trailer Towing
The electronic limited-slip differentialenhances vehicle stability during trailer towoperation. During high demand traileringevents, such as steep slopes, high speedsor with a spare tire, the system may providea warning in the instrument cluster andreduce function or enter a temporarilydisabled state. To resume normal function,stop the vehicle in a safe location and allowthe unit to adequately cool. Once the systemreaches normal operating temperatures,system function restores and the electroniclimited-slip differential restored messagedisplays.

TIRE REPLACEMENT
REQUIREMENTS
AGE
WARNING: Tires degrade overtime depending on many factors suchas weather, storage conditions, andconditions of use (load, speed, inflationpressure) the tires experiencethroughout their lives.In general, tires should be replacedafter six years regardless of treadwear. However, heat caused by hotclimates or frequent high loadingconditions can accelerate the agingprocess and may require tires to bereplaced more frequently.You should replace your spare tirewhen you replace the road tires orafter six years due to aging even if ithas not been used.
U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number
Both United States and Canada Federalregulations require tire manufacturersto place standardized information on thesidewall of all tires. This informationidentifies and describes the fundamentalcharacteristics of the tire and alsoprovides a U.S. DOT Tire IdentificationNumber for safety standard certificationand in case of a recall.
This begins with the letters DOT andindicates that the tire meets all federalstandards. The next two numbers orletters are the plant code designatingwhere it was manufactured, the next twoare the tire size code and the last fournumbers represent the week and yearthe tire was built. For example, the
numbers 317 mean the 31st week of1997. After 2000, the numbers go to fourdigits. For example, 2501 means the25th week of 2001. The numbers inbetween are identification codes usedfor traceability. This information is usedto contact customers if a tire defectrequires a recall.
Tire Replacement Requirements
Your vehicle is equipped with tiresdesigned to provide a safe ride andhandling capability.
WARNING: Only usereplacement tires and wheels that arethe same size, load index, speedrating, and type as those originallyprovided for your vehicle. Therecommended tire and wheel sizescan be found on the Tire Label on thedriver side door frame or the edge ofthe driver door. If this information isnot found in those locations, or foradditional options, contact yourauthorized dealer. Use of any tire orwheel not recommended, could affect

Always performthe system reset procedure after tirerotation. If you do not reset the system,it may not provide a low tire pressurewarning when necessary.
Rotating your tires at the recommendedinterval will help your tires wear moreevenly, providing better tire performanceand longer tire life.
Note:If your tires show any unevenwear have the alignment checked byan authorized dealer before rotatingtires.
Note:If you have a dissimilar sparewheel and tire assembly, it is intendedfor temporary use only and should notbe used in a tire rotation.
