Differential lock, manual switch-on and switch-off

If slippage varies greatly between rear wheels, engage differential lock at switch position (A) or button (C) (only if the difference in speed is not too high).

NOTE: When the differential lock is switched on, indicator light (D) on the instrument panel lights up.

The differential lock is switched off as follows:

• Repeatedly actuating the switch at position (A)

• By depressing one or both of the brake pedals

It is the responsibility of the operator to switch the differential lock back on again.


Differential lock, automatic switch-on and switch-off

The function for automatically switching the differential lock on and off can be enabled and disabled at switch position (B). If the function is active, the indicator light in switch (B) lights up and the differential lock is automatically switched on or off depending on the driving situation.

NOTE: If the differential lock activates due to the driving situation, indicator light (D) lights up on the instrument panel.
