Jeep Wrangler: FOUR–WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION / Axle Lock (Tru-Lok) Front And Rear — If Equipped
The AXLE LOCK switch is located on the
instrument panel (to the right of the steering
column).

Axle Lock Switch Panel
This feature will only activate when the following
conditions are met:
- Ignition in RUN position, vehicle in 4WD Low.
- Vehicle speed should be 10 mph (16 km/h)
or less.
- Both right and left wheels on axle are at the
same speed.
To activate the system, push the AXLE LOCK
switch down to lock the rear axle only (the
“REAR ONLY” will illuminate), push the switch
up to lock the front axle and rear axle (the
“FRONT + REAR” will illuminate). When the rear
axle is locked, pushing the bottom of switch
again will lock or unlock the front axle.
NOTE:
The indicator lights will flash until the axles are
fully locked or unlocked.
To unlock the axles, push the AXLE LOCK OFF
button.
Axle lock will disengage if the vehicle is taken
out of 4WD Low, or the ignition switch is turned
to the OFF position.
The axle lock disengages at speeds above
30 mph (48 km/h), and will automatically
re-lock once vehicle speed is less than 10 mph
(16 km/h).
The Trac-Lok rear axle provides a constant
driving force to both rear wheels and reduces
wheel spin caused by the loss of traction at one
driving wheel...
The rear axle may be locked in 4WD High if the
proper conditions are met.
