The self-locking differential controls the
torque transmitted to each rear wheel.
Depending on the grip conditions on
the road surface, and at low speeds
(under 20 mph / 30 kph), this device en-
ables wheel torque to move automati-
cally, thereby providing increased grip.
This enables the grip potential of each
wheel to be used to the fullest possi-
ble extent, thereby enabling the vehicle
to run over areas with decreased grip
(e.g.: work sites, muddy ground, etc.).
Once the rear wheels return to surfaces
with normal grip (eg: return to paved
roads), the self-locking differential
device will be deactivated, sometimes
accompanied by a noise (with no con-
sequence to vehicle behaviour). You
have the option of turning this device
off yourself, once normal grip condi-
tions have resumed, by briefly releas-
ing the accelerator
SELF-LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, it does not in-
crease the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you to
drive more quickly.
It cannot, therefore, under any cir-
cumstances replace the vigilance or
the responsibility of the driver.
