—If there is a large difference in the speed of rotation of the rear wheels
—If the drive train is heavily loaded
—If the mechanical teeth of the differential lock are “tooth to tooth”: The symbol in the button and the yellow
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster flash.
WARNING
The steering ability of the vehicle is very restricted when the differential lock is engaged. This could mean that you
lose control over the vehicle and cause serious injuries.
● Never engage the differential lock if you are driving on a paved road surface, the vehicle is being towed or if the
tyres have no traction.
NOTICE
Never engage the differential lock if you are driving on a paved road surface. If the differential lock is engaged, the
axles, gearbox and drive shaft will be subjected to stresses, loading and damage during cornering.
If the differential lock is switched off when driving through a bend, this may cause a small shudder to pass
through the vehicle. This is caused by the release of tension forces in the drive train. This is normal and is not
a indication of damage to the vehicle.
If you drive through bends with the differential lock engaged, 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.
Introduction
The cruise control system(CCS) helps to maintain a speed set by the driver.
Speed range
The CCS
is available when driving forwards at speeds from around 30 km/h (around 20 mph).
Driving with the cruise control system
You can exceed the stored speed at any time, e.g. to overtake. Control is interrupted for the duration of the
acceleration manoeuvre and is then resumed with the stored speed.
Displays
When the cruise control system is switched on, the instrument cluster display shows the stored speed and the status
of the cruise control system.
Depending on the driving situation and the instrument cluster version, one of following indicator lamps lights up:
Cruise control system switched on.
Cruise control system switched on, control intervention active.
Cruise control system switched on, control intervention active.
The indicator lamps are shown as small icons or are greyed out if the cruise control system is not regulating.
If no speed is stored, the instrument cluster display shows
instead of the speed.
