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.
