STARTING AND OPERATING 171
To lock the rear axle, place the vehicle in 4WD
LOW, 4WD HIGH or two-wheel drive Ú page 160.
Push the REAR LOCK button while traveling less
than 10 mph (16 km/h). The REAR LOCK indicator
light will remain on when the rear axle is locked.
NOTE:
Left to right wheel speed difference may be
necessary to allow the axle to fully lock. If the indi-
cator light is flashing after placing the vehicle in
the REAR LOCK or FRONT/REAR LOCK position,
drive the vehicle in a turn or on loose gravel to
expedite the locking action.
To lock the front axle, push the FRONT/REAR LOCK
button while traveling less than 10 mph (16 km/h)
in 4WD LOW. The FRONT/REAR LOCK indicator
light will be solid when the front axle is locked.
NOTE:
The rear axle must be locked before the front axle
will lock.
When both the axles are locked, to unlock the front
axle, push the REAR LOCK button while in 4WD
LOW. The FRONT/REAR LOCK indicator light will go
out when the axle is unlocked.
NOTE:
The axle lockers could be torque locked due to side
to side loads on the axle. Driving slowly while
turning the steering wheel from a left hand turn to
a right hand turn or driving in REVERSE for a short
distance may be required to release the torque
lock and unlock the axles.
To unlock the rear axle, push the AXLE UNLOCK
button. The REAR LOCK indicator light will go out
when the rear axle is unlocked.
STABILIZER/SWAY BAR SYSTEM —
POWER WAGON ONLY
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic
disconnecting stabilizer/sway bar. This system
allows greater front suspension travel in off-road
situations.
Due to the use of taller springs, this vehicle has an
increased ride height of approximately 1.9 inches
(48.3 mm) in the front and 1.5 inches (38.1 mm)
in the rear. A major advantage to increasing ride
height is the positive effect it has on approach/
departure and break over angles.
This system is controlled by the electronic control
sway bar switch located below the instrument
panel.
SWAY BAR Disconnect Button
Push the SWAY BAR switch to activate the system.
Push the switch again to deactivate the system.
The Sway Bar Indicator Light (located in the
instrument cluster) will illuminate when the bar is
disconnected. The Sway Bar Indicator Light will
flash during activation transition, or when
activation conditions are not met. The stabilizer/
sway bar should remain in On-Road mode during
normal driving conditions.
WARNING!
Do not use the locked axle position for normal
driving. A locked front axle is intended for
off-road driving only. Locking the front axle
during on-road driving will reduce the steering
ability. This could cause a collision and you may
be seriously injured.
