Quadra-Drive

System — If Equipped

The optional Quadra-Drive

௡ System features three

torque transfer couplings. The couplings include ELSD
(Electronic Limited Slip Differential) front and rear axles
and Quadra-Trac II

௡ transfer case. The optional ELSD

axles are fully automatic and require no driver input to
operate. Under normal driving conditions the units func-
tion as standard axles balancing torque evenly between
left and right wheels. With a traction difference between
left and right wheels the coupling will sense a speed
difference. As one wheel begins to spin faster than the
other, torque will automatically transfer from the wheel
that has less traction to the wheel that has traction. While
the transfer case and axle couplings differ in design, their

operation is similar. Follow the Quadra-Trac II

௡ transfer

case shifting information, preceding this section, for
shifting this system.

PARKING BRAKE
To set the parking brake, pull the lever up as firmly as
possible. When the parking brake is applied with the
ignition ON, the “Brake Warning Light” in the instru-
ment cluster will light.

NOTE:

The instrument cluster “Brake Warning Light”

indicates only that the parking brake is applied. It does
not indicate the degree of brake application.
