The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle

Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most driv-

ing conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC

system reduces the engine output to reduce

wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced

even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor. If

maximum engine power is needed to free a stuck

vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF

switch. The

indicator will come on.

Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the

engine to turn on the system. See “Vehicle Dy-

namic Control (VDC) system” in the “Starting and

driving” section.

The Electronic Locking Rear Differential (E-Lock)

system can help provide added traction if the

vehicle is stuck or becoming stuck.
To activate the E-Lock system:

● the 4WD switch must be in the 4LO position

(4-wheel drive vehicles),

● the vehicle must be stopped or moving at 4

mph (7 km/h) or less, and

● the E-Lock system switch must be turned

ON.

When the E-Lock switch is turned ON, the indi-

cator light will flash until the system engages.

However, if all operation conditions listed above

are not met or the system becomes disengaged,

the indicator light will continue to flash.
The Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) system is disabled

and the ABS light illuminates when the E-Lock

system is ON. Also, the Vehicle Dynamic Control

(VDC) system is disabled and the VDC light

illuminates when the E-Lock system is ON.
See “Electronic locking rear differential (E-Lock)

system” in the “Starting and Driving” section for

further explanation and system limitations.

WARNING

Never leave the E-Lock system ON

when driving on paved or hard-surfaced

roads. Turning the vehicle may result in

the rear wheels slipping and result in an

accident and personal injury. After us-

ing the E-Lock system to free the ve-

hicle, turn the system OFF.
