• if the drive train is loaded heavily
• If the mechanical teeth of the rear-axle differen-tial lock are '1ooth to tooth": the indicator light r. in the instrument cluster flashes.
A WARNING
Never switch the rear axle differential lock on If you are driving on a solid road surface, the vehicle is being towed or if the tyres have no traction.
• Your steering will be greatly Impaired when the rear axle differential lock has been switched on. This could mean that you lose control over the vehicle and cause serious In-juries.
CD
Switching the rear axle differential lock on while being towed can damage the drive train.
m If the rear axle differential lock is switched off W when driving through a bend, this may cause a small shudder to go through the vehicle. This is caused by the release of wind-up in the drive train. This is normal and is not a indication of damage to the vehicle.
m If you drive through bends with the rear axle W differential lock switched on, the wheels "rub" on the road surface. You might be able to hear this. The ''rubbing" of the tyres -especially on solid ground -will lead to increased wear on the tyres.
