General Information

sdp dm 16.02.001

The driver-controlled differential lock (DCDL) feature (side-to-side wheel lock, traction control, or traction equalizer) is available on vehicles with single or tandem-drive axles.

The DCDL provides maximum traction for slippery conditions by forcing the wheels on each drive axle governed by the switch to rotate together. When the DCDL is engaged, the clutch collar completely locks the differential case, gearing, and axle shafts together, maximizing the traction of both wheels. Use the DCDL if the interaxle lock does not provide sufficient traction.

A status screen showing engaged locks is found in the vehicle operations menus on the driver display. See Fig..
