Differential lock
*
The lock in the rear differentia! can be
engaged and disengaged manually with
the switch (DIFF) in the center console
next to the parking brake lever when the
vehicle is stationary or moving less than
15 mph or 25 km/h.
The differential lock disengages
automatically as soon as the car goes
faster than 15 mph or 25 km/h and will
remain disengaged. You will have to
engage the differential lock once again if
necessary.
*
where applicable
The switch operates as a preselector:
there may be a delay before the
differential lock actually engages,
particularly if the two rear wheels are
turning at different speeds. Therefore,
ease off the accelerator to let the
differential lock engage.
The warning light in front of the switch
will come on when the differential lock
actually engages. If the warning lamp
should not come on when the differential
lock is actuated, have the electrical
system and the differential lock checked
by your Audi dealer.
When the rear axle differential is locked,
the ABS shuts off automatically and the
ABS warning light will come on.
However, the vehicle's standard brake
system remains fully operational. The ABS warning light will go out and the
ABS will be switched on automatically as
soon as the vehicle exceeds a speed of
approximately 15 mph or 25 km/h and
the differential lock is disengaged.
Note
The rear differential lock only serves as
an aid when starting off in difficult road
conditions.
Lock the differential only to
get the vehicle moving when it is
stuck or in Imminent danger of getting
stuck
