& 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 sur‐
face.
& WARNING Risk of skidding when ABS is
deactivated
If ABS is deactivated, the wheels may lock
when braked.
As a result, the vehicle can no longer be
steered.
Always leave ABS on when driving on
#
roads and firm surfaces.
* NOTE Damage to the differential locks
due to improper use
The following points should be observed
when using differential locks, to avoid dam‐
age:
do not engage differential locks when
#
the driven wheels are spinning.
do not engage differential locks when
#
the accelerator or brake pedal is
depressed.
Switch on the differential lock only
#
when the vehicle is stationary or moving
at walking pace.
after switching on the differential locks,
#
pull away slowly.
do not drive on a high-grip road surface
#
when the differential locks are engaged.
Do not drive faster than 50 km/h when
#
the differential locks are engaged.
