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

앫 the axle not being driven is jacked up

or

앫 the associated propeller shaft is disconnect-

ed.
