Front Axle

When to Check Lubricant

It is not necessary to regularly check the front axle fluid unless a leak is suspected or an unusual noise is heard. A fluid loss could indicate a problem. Have it inspected and repaired. This service can be complex. See your dealer.

Do not directly power wash the transfer case and/or front/rear axle output seals. High pressure water can overcome the seals and contaminate the fluid. Contaminated fluid will decrease the life of the transfer case and/or drive axles and should be replaced.

Rear Axle

When to Check Lubricant

It is not necessary to regularly check the rear axle fluid unless a leak is suspected or an unusual noise is heard. A fluid loss could indicate a problem. Have it inspected and repaired. This service can be complex. See your dealer.

Park Brake and P (Park) Mechanism Check

Park on a fairly steep hill, vehicle facing downhill. Keeping your foot on the regular brake, set the parking brake.

• Parking Brake Holding: With engine running and transmission in N (Neutral), slowly remove foot pressure from the regular brake until held by parking brake only.
• P (Park) Mechanism Holding: With engine running, shift to P (Park). Release parking brake followed by regular brake. Contact your dealer if service is required.
