Methods to disengage differential locks
There are two different methods to disengage
differential locks:
• Disengage differential locks in reverse order. When
the rear axle differential lock is disengaged, the
front axle differential lock is automatically
disengaged with it.
Briefly press the previously activated switches for
the differential lock. The correspondending
engagement indicator lamp (4) goes out.
• If the transfer case differential lock is disengaged,
all other differential locks are automatically
disengaged.
Briefly press the switch (1) for the transfer case
differential lock. The engagement indicator
lamps (4) go out.
The function indicator lamp (5) goes out when the
disengagement procedure has been completed.

Only when all function indicator lamps (5) have gone
out, the ABS malfunction indicator lamp and the ESP
warning lamp in the instrument cluster go out and the
messages "ESP NOT ACTIVE – LOCK ACTIVE", "BAS
NOT AVAILABLE – LOCK ACTIVE" and "ABS NOT
ACTIVE – LOCK ACTIVE" in the multifunction display
disappear.
Now the message "ESP – NOT AVAILABLE" appears in
the multifunction display and the ESP warning lamp
comes on. That means the ESP, BAS and ABS functions
are not active yet.
To activate the systems again drive for 3 seconds with a
constant drive behavior.
Note:
If the function lamps do not go out when the differential
locks are disengaged, make minor changes to the
vehicles direction.
