Thread: ? Stupid question rear diff lock D4

Hi Peter the rear diff is electronic control ,only comes when needed
If you go to 4x4 screen you will see a graphic of the cdl and rear with green padlocks , put it in rock crawl get on the neighbours front lawn and floor it, should see centre and or rear padlocks go red. Or get on the GTR (Topix )site punch VIN number and it will tell ya how it left foctory

There is no switch. The vehicle will decide if and when it is required and activate it for you.

Thanks Roamer and bigjon.
Every other rear diff locker I have used has had to be activated by the user, hence my confusion.

That's the beauty with these, off and on as required, no winding up, no selections.

So the HSE doesn't come with a manual???

Gear box or book?

I hate new car owner manuals....they cover a thousand (OK exaggeration) variants and options and it's bloody hard to work out what your car actually has fitted.....

Hi Tombie,
I have read the book cover to cover twice and can find absolutely no reference to the diff lock! I admit I generally don't read the manuals, however this time imp lead not guilty

A snap question....

Is the e-Diff standard on any D4's?

If not, I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that you won't find it in the manual.

Had a Berlina once with a sunroof. OEM from brand new. But not a standard fit for a Berlina. Nothing in the manual about it at all, and took a bit of working out as it's safety sensors were easy to confuse.

However in the D4, it's a moot point, as no thinking or selection is required on the CDL or e-Diff...it just does it thing when it needs to.

Lucky buggers....
