Drive Axle - Rear: Operation: Notes

Power is transmitted via the transmission to the central differential, through a drive shaft, to the rear axle final drive. Power is also transmitted through the pinion shaft to the front axle differential.

When traction between road surface and tires is low,

differential locks for both central and rear axle differentials can be engaged to improve traction. The differential locks can be engaged either when the vehicle is stationary or while driving. There are 2 warning lamps on the console that indicate when the differentials are locked.
