AXLE INFORMATION

Traction-Lok™ Axle (If Equipped)

This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces, particularly when
one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, the
Traction-Lok™ axle functions like a standard rear axle.

Extended use of other than the manufacturer’s specified size tires on
a Traction-Lok™ rear axle could result in a permanent reduction in
effectiveness. This loss of effectiveness does not affect normal driving
and should not be noticeable to the driver.

Axle with TORSEN® Differential (If Equipped)

This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces, particularly when
one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, the
axle equipped with a TORSEN® differential functions like a standard
rear axle.

Extended use of other than the manufacturer’s specified size tires on
a rear axle equipped with a TORSEN® differential could result in a
permanent reduction in effectiveness. This loss of effectiveness does not
affect normal driving and should not be noticeable to the driver.

HILL START ASSIST (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING: The hill start assist feature does not replace the
parking brake. When you leave the vehicle, always apply the

parking brake and shift the transmission into position P for automatic
transmission or position 1 for manual transmissions.

WARNING: You must remain in the vehicle once you have
activated the hill start assist feature.

WARNING: During all times, you are responsible for controlling
the vehicle, supervising the hill start assist system and

intervening, if required.
