Controls in detail Differential locks Differential locks For more information on off-road driving, see "Off-road driving" ( page 253). Differential locks improve the vehicle's tractive power off-road. Switch on differential locks: for off-road driving to turn the ABS off during off-road driving for driving through water when driving on deep snow and icy or fouled surfaces ! When driving off-road, apply only moderate pressure to the accelerator pedal if the differential locks are switched on. When running on a (single-axle) dynamometer - no matter how briefly - you must: raise the non-driven axle or disconnect its drive shaft and engage the transfer differential lock Otherwise the transfer case can be damaged, which is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. Warning! G Never drive on pavement with differential locks engaged. Steering control will be strongly affected with the differential locks activated. The ABS, BAS, and ESP® are switched off automatically when the transfer case differential lock is activated. ! Do not engage the front axle differential lock when driving around tight corners. This restricts steering ability. 173
