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 - 4x4. It also engages based on certain selected drive modes.
See Selecting a Drive Mode. 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 - 4x4.

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: Do not perform this operation when cruise control or trail control are selected and active. The system may not engage as expected.
