ELD - ELECTRONIC
LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL
(where provided)
The ELD (Electronic Locking Differential)
is a further aid when driving or starting the
car in poor grip conditions (snow, ice,
mud, etc.) since it enables to distribute
power adequately to the same axle when
one or more wheels are slipping.
The ELD actually brakes the wheels that
are loosing grip (or that are slipping more
than others) and it transmits power to
wheels having best grip.
This function can be turned on manually
by pressing the ELD button in the dash-
board and works below a level of 50 km/h.
When this speed is exceeded, it is auto-
matically deactivated (the LED in the ELD
button remains on) and it is reactivated as
soon as the speed goes below the level
of 50 km/h.ELD operation
At start-up the ELD system is off.
To turn the ELD system on, press button
fig. 1; the relevant button led will turn on.
The activation of the ELD system involves
the following functions being switched on:
– Permanent four wheel drive, so that the
vehicle is more responsive;
– Inhibition of the ASR function, in order
to fully exploit the engine torque;
– Differential lock effect on the front and
rear axles, via the braking system, to im-
prove drive on uneven surfaces.
If there is a problem with the ELD system,
the (ESP) warning light will come on con-
stantly.4x4 Drive - Signals
The warning light in fig. 2a-2bprovides
two different types of signals:
❒signalling with flashing light: this indi-
cates that the differential lock function
(ELD) is activated, for versions with ESP
only and with the ELD button pressed;
