ESP function: EDL

The Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) is a traction control aid for driving away from a standstill. An electronically-controlled brake application at the wheel that is spinning provides a torque reaction point for the differential. This enables the wheel with better traction to make use of the engine power. EDL is effective in both forward and reverse.

On vehicles with all-wheel-drive, EDL controls all four wheels. This makes it possible to eliminate the driver operated mechanical differential lock.

EDL as part of ESP and is effective at any speed.
