Hello. I’m wondering if someone can clue me into the purpose/use of the ‘Drivetrain’ screen in the IC on my 2021 1500 Limited.

My question is regarding the image on the left. Is there any purpose other than to show the differential state and the front wheel position while in 4WD modes?
- I noticed that the “axles” turn yellow when the steering wheel is rotated 2 degrees or more. No idea why.....
(My Fords I had recently would show the power distribution between the front and rear axles.)

I’ve checked the manual, but couldn’t find anything that described what the screen was for.

Just curious how to read this screen. Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. I don’t have the pages in my UConnect, just the IC.

Thanks for asking the question. I have wondered the same thing. I couldn't find anything on it either. I was thinking it would show distribution, but it doesn't. I guess yellow just means it's turning. I don't have the offroad pages either on the 12" screen.

I just noticed my axles only are yellow at low speeds. And they turn back to white as I apply throttle. Is that normal?
