OPERATION
Differential Operation Modes
The rear axle is equipped with a lockable differential. On AWD
models, engaging AWD locks the front differential and the rear
differential.
CAUTION
Damage to the differential can occur if it is engaged while the
vehicle is traveling at high speeds or while the rear wheels are
spinning. Slow the vehicle to nearly stopped before engaging the
differential.
AWD (4X4)
When in AWD, the rear wheels rotate
at the same speed. The front wheels
also rotate at the same speed. See page

both rear wheels rotate at the same

4X4, move the AWD/Differential
