5.4.2 Longitudinal and transverse differential locks
– The longitudinal differential locks prevent individual axle lines spinning
when driving on a slippery surface. With the 8 x 8 x 8 drive, the 2nd axle
line drive is switched on and off.

driving on a slippery surface.
For switching on and off, the current speed needs to be under
approx. 5 km/h (3 mph).
