OPERATION Differential Lock

The points to be considered when the differential lock is activated: If required, the differential lock shall be engaged prior to go through the rough surface at the required distance and its engagement and disengagement shall be monitored via the illuminated warning sign on the instrument cluster. Vehicle may move outward of the curve in turns while the DCDL is completely activated. Do not use differential lock on paved roads, and never perform turns when the locks are engaged. When turning, make sure the differential lock is disengaged. Otherwise the differential of your vehicle may be damaged severely and you may have to call for AAA. The maximum speed shall be 20 km/h when differential lock is engaged.

Deactivating the differential lock: 1. When it is safer to drive above certain speeds as soon as road conditions become normal, differential lock must be deactivated. Vehicle shall be stopped and differential lock shall be disengaged after making sure that the vehicle moved far away from the slippery surface. Ensure that the wheels are not on slippery surface first and stop the vehicle completely. 2. Deactivation of the differential lock is performed when the warning light on the instrument panel is turned off and this may take about 500 meters sometimes. Turn the differential lock switch(es) on. Drive the vehicle very slowly by applying the accelerator slowly to deactivate the differential lock. 3. The differential lock will disengage once the illuminated warning sign on the instrument cluster and the warning buzzer, if any, will stop. 4. You can continue driving observing the legal speed limits according to flow of the traffic.

CAUTION Vehicle should always be decelerated in sharp curves, and it is advised that the differential lock is deactivated in sharp curves. User is informed by buzzer on that differential lock is activated. CAUTION Deactivate the differential lock when driving the tractor vehicles down the slopes. Trailer may be folded due to the loss of the vehicle dynamics.
