Differential locks
Function of the differential lock
& WARNING Risk of accident when differ‐
ential lock is disengaged on a firm sur‐
face
If you engage differential locks when driving
on a firm, high-traction surface, the steerabil‐
ity of the vehicle is severely restricted. You
could lose control of the vehicle, especially
when engaging on a bend.
#
Always disengage the differential locks
immediately on a firm, high-traction
surface.
& WARNING Risk of accident due to deac‐
tivated driving safety systems
When the differential locks are engaged,
ABS, 4ETS, ESP ® and BAS are deactivated.
Because of this, the wheels can lock while
braking and the braking distance is
increased.
