operating, you might feel slight vibration or hear
the system working when starting the vehicle or
accelerating, but this is normal.

rear differential (E-lock) system switch (if so
equipped) is turned on and the E-lock system is
engaged. If the E-lock system disengages or the
switch is turned off, the VDC system will be
enabled and the VDC light will turn off.
