VTM (Variable Torque Management)-4r System
NOTICE
Do not continuously spin the front tires of your vehicle. Continuously spinning the front tires can cause transmission or rear differential damage.
1To Engage the VTM-4r LOCK
Do not use the VTM-4r LOCK button on dry, paved roads. Driving on dry, paved roads with VTM-4r LOCK on may damage the rear differential when making a turn. Strange noise and vibration can also result. The VTM-4r LOCK can be used to help free your vehicle from being stuck in mud, sand, or gravel. When the lock is engaged, apply light pressure to the accelerator pedal. When more torque is applied, the rear tires are not likely to spin. This is normal. If you are not able to free the vehicle, stop and reverse direction. As soon as this feature is no longer needed, disengage the VTM-4r LOCK.
To Disengage the VTM-4r LOCK
The VTM-4r LOCK temporarily disengages when the vehicle speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h). The indicator in the button remains on.
