LOCKING REAR AXLE
Lock the rear axle to gain additional
traction from the rear wheels when
driving in o-road conditions, on steep
hills and on uneven terrain.
With the vehicle moving less than
20 mph, press the Locking Rear
Axle switch (A) to lock or unlock the
rear axle.
The rear axle is locked when the
indicator light stops ashing and remains
illuminated.
Note: The locking rear axle will disengage when vehicle speed exceeds 20 mph unless O-Road,
Terrain or Baja mode is active.
LOCKING FRONT AXLE
Lock the front axle to gain additional traction from the front wheels when driving at low
speed in o-road conditions.
1. With the vehicle stopped or moving less than 3 mph and the transmission in Neutral,
shift into 4WD LO. Shift the transmission into gear when the 4 LO graphic on the Driver
Information Center stops ashing.
2. With the vehicle moving less than 20 mph, press the Locking Front/Rear Axles
switch (B) to lock the front and rear axles.
To unlock the front axle, press the Locking Rear Axle switch (the front axle unlocks
and the rear axle remains locked), and then press the Locking Front/Rear Axles
switch (both axles unlock).
The front axle is locked when the indicator light stops ashing and remains illuminated.
Locking the front axle also disables Hill Descent Control and the Antilock Brake System,
which will cause the warning light to illuminate.
Note: The locking front axle will disengage when vehicle speed exceeds 20 mph or the transfer
case is shifted out of 4WD LO. Do not drive the vehicle on pavement with the front or rear
axle locked. Do not try to lock the front or rear axle while the vehicle is stuck and the tires are
spinning. This may damage the vehicle.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
