Jeep Wrangler: FOUR–WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION / Axle Lock (Tru-Lok) Rear Only — If Equipped

The rear axle may be locked in 4WD High if the proper conditions are met.

WARNING!

This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be used on any public roadways.

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 High.
• The vehicle must be in Off Road+ active.
• Vehicle must be in ESC “Full Off” mode.
• Vehicle must not be actively in a high wheel slip or tight cornering condition.

To activate the system, push the AXLE LOCK switch down to lock the rear axle only (“REAR ONLY” will illuminate).

To unlock the rear axle, push the AXLE LOCK OFF button.

Axle lock will disengage if the vehicle is taken out of 4WD High, Off Road+ is turned off by the driver, ESC “Full Off” is exited, or the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.

NOTE:

The indicator lights will flash until the rear axle is fully locked or unlocked.

The rear axle lock system may temporarily disengage the rear locker under some conditions.

If this occurs, the rear axle will automatically re-lock as soon as the system allows.
