Traction-Lok Rear Axle (If equipped)

This axle provides added drive away traction on
slippery surfaces, particularly when one or more
wheels are on a surface with poor traction.

Extended use of other than matching size tires
on a Traction-Lok rear axle could result in a
permanent reduction in effectiveness. This loss of
effectiveness does not affect normal driving and
should not be noticeable to the driver.
