Differential locks



Assignment locking differentials
Lock axle and rear differentials is to improve cross-car off-road conditions and facilitate the movement on steep slopes.
When driving in curves outer wheel extends a greater distance than the inner. Therefore, the wheels of one axle are moving at different speeds, and that while the car could move normally required axial differential. Center differential aligns the rotational speed of the drive shafts front and rear axles and the rear axle differential - rear wheels.

Locking center differential
It prevents a situation in which the wheels of one axle on slippery surfaces carry through on-site, while the other wheel axle motionless stand-slip on the ground.
When the center differential lock on both axles starts to enter the torque, since the front and rear axle are rigidly connected. The torque from the power unit is automatically redistributed between the axles in accordance with the state of the ground under the wheels.

Differential lock, rear axle
Rigidly connects the rear wheels, so that they rotate at the same speed. Differential lock rear axle is only possible with locked center differential.

NOTE
Turning off the center differential lock when turning the wheels can be replaced at a very sensitive jerk. The reason for this is the sharp decline in the value of the stress transmission occurred at the beginning of the turn when the differential is locked.
With included wheel differential "scratching" on the ground when turning. It is evident from arising in this noise.
Turning angle included locking differentials significantly limited.

Locking differentials
Reduce the speed below 40 km / h.

Turn the knob from the position ?�HIGH?� (Fig. 1.124) through the position ?�LOW?� position corresponding to the differential lock.
First in the course of a button icon indicates the position of the center differential lock and the next and the last - the position of the rear axle differential lock.
Turn the lock button is selected only certain differential. The process of switching on and off the differential lock may take some time.
If it happens that you can not turn on or off the lock, remove the foot off the accelerator and go as far as possible directly, thus making gentle movements steering left and right.

When you can not include a locking differentials

NOTE
In no case can not include differential lock when driving on ordinary roads, and when the wheels are skidding, the car is towed or check Roller brake.
In no case can not include differential lock when driving on normal roads, as well as when one wheel slips. If you turn lock at the time when the wheel slips, or failure of the drive is possible, or a sudden and uncontrolled movement of the car. In addition, once the action will be limited steering.

ATTENTION
When the differential lock when driving on ordinary roads, and when the wheels are skidding, the car is towed or check Roller brake, possible failure or drive, or a sudden and uncontrolled movement of the car.
