is a fault on the TCS.
TCS OFF ROAD
After activating the OFF ROAD mode,
The TCS OFF ROAD provides a more effective acceleration of the vehicle on an
unfirm ground, as it allows higher traction between the slipping wheels and the
ground.
The system operates when starting off or at low speeds.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 137.
If one of the wheels starts to spin, the EDL system brakes the spinning wheel and
transfers the driving force to the other wheels. This ensures the stability of the
vehicle and a quick journey.
In the event of severe stresses, the EDL switches off automatically in order to
avoid excessive heat generation in the disc brake of the wheel being braked. The
vehicle can continue to be driven and has the same characteristics as a vehicle
not fitted with EDL. The EDL switches on again automatically as soon as the
brake has cooled down.
EDL OFF ROAD
After activating the OFF ROAD mode,
The EDL OFF ROAD supports the vehicle traction when driving on unfirm ground.
EDL is activated earlier in the OFF ROAD mode than in the normal mode. The
brake pressure builds up more quickly on the faster moving wheel, on one axle, as
well as diagonally.
