• The 4WD system must be in 4WD LOW.
• The ignition switch in the ON position or the engine running.
• Vehicle speed must be below 15 MPH (24 km/h).
• To engage Rear E-Locker, press the REAR LOCK button once.
Deactivating The Rear E-Locker System

• Rear E-Locker must be engaged, and the REAR LOCK indicator light on.
• The ignition switch in the ON position or the engine running.
• To disengage Rear E-Locker , press the REAR LOCK button once.
NOTE:
• It may also be necessary to drive slowly steering back and forth to complete
engagement and disengagement of the E- Locker.
• When engaging Rear E-Locker, the indicator lights in the instrument cluster and
on the REAR LOCK button will begin to flash. When the shift is complete the REAR
LOCK indicator lights will remain on.
• When disengaging Rear E-Locker, the indicator lights in the instrument cluster
and on the REAR LOCK button will begin to flash. When the shift is complete the

• Shifting into or out of Rear E-Locker is possible with the vehicle completely
stopped; however, difficulty may occur due to the mating clutch teeth not being
properly aligned. Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth alignment and
shift completion to occur. The preferred method is for the vehicle to be rolling,
below 15 MPH (24 km/h), while including right and left steering maneuvers to
allow for the clutch teeth to align.
