When to use the diff lock
As a general rule, the differential should only
be locked in order to drive off-road on loose
and slippery surfaces. ALWAYS unlock the
differential for normal road driving or as soon
as a hard grippy surface is reached whether
high or low gears are selected.
NOTE: A valuable introduction to off-road
driving, which includes many useful
references to the transfer gearbox and ’diff
lock’, is included in the ’Off-road driving’
section of the handbook.
WARNING
If the vehicle is driven on normal road
surfaces with the differential locked, the
steering will feel stiff, excessive tyre wear
will occur and the transmission will be
’wound up’. This places excessive strain on
the transmission.
Diff lock warning light
The amber warning light on the instrument
panel illuminates when the diff lock is actually
engaged - rather than when it has been
selected. Similarly it will only extinguish when
the diff lock is actually disengaged. This
accounts for a slight delay between diff lock
deselection and the warning light
extinguishing which is quite normal.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Transmission ’wind up’
If the warning light is obviously reluctant
to extinguish after the diff lock has been
deselected, some transmission ’wind up’
may be present.
Reversing the vehicle for a short distance
and then going forward will usually
’unwind’ the transmission and extinguish
the light and the vehicle can then be
driven as normal. However, if after two or
three attempts to ’unwind’ the
transmission the light remains on,
consult your dealer AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.
