ASR can be switched on or off manually ⇒ Switching Anti-Slip Regu-
lation (ASR) on and off.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL and XDL)
EDL is applied during regular straight-line acceleration. EDL gently
brakes a drive wheel that has lost traction (spinning) and redirects the
drive force to other drive wheels. In extreme cases, EDL automatical-
ly switches off to keep the brake from overheating. As soon as the
brake has cooled down, EDL automatically switches on again.
XDL is an extension of the Electronic Differential Lock system. XDL
does not react to drive wheel slippage when driving straight ahead.
Instead, XDL detects slippage of the inside front wheel during fast
cornering. XDL applies enough brake pressure to this wheel in order
to stop the slippage. This improves traction, which helps the vehicle
stay on track.
