Controls in detail
Differential locks*
at the same speed, independent of the in-
dividual torque. Please be aware that en-
gaging the differential locks will
significantly reduce the steering ability of
the vehicle.
For your safety and the safety of others
and to prevent damage to the vehicle, the
differential locks must not be engaged
when driving on paved roads. It is impor-
tant to understand that during
on-road/paved driving, differentials are
absolutely necessary for providing the es-
sential control and steering ability of the
vehicle. The differential locks, therefore,
must not be engaged when driving on
paved roads and should only be used to
the extent necessary to negotiate off-road
conditions which cannot be handled by the
systems (automatic 4-ETS, the ESP
®
, man-
ual switch position “LOW” of transfer case)
this vehicle comes equipped with.
Switching differential locks* The rotary switch for the differential locks
is located on the upper part of the center
console.
You can select between three locking
modes.
1 Rotatable outer adjustment ring with
indicator lamp
2 AUTO mode: center differential is auto-
matically locked
3 Center differential is completely locked
4 Center and rear axle differential are
completely locked
!
If the differential locks are engaged, accel-
erate gently when setting the vehicle in motion.
To avoid damage to the transmission, the vehicle
may only be operated on a dynamometer (single
axle dynamometer) if
ț the axle not being driven is jacked up
or
ț the associated propeller shaft is disconnect-
ed.
