How many differential locks does the BMW X5 have?
2 Answers
BMW X5 does not have differential locks. Introduction to differential locks: The central differential lock is a locking mechanism installed on the central differential, used in four-wheel-drive vehicles. Function of differential locks: Its purpose is to improve the vehicle's ability to traverse poor road conditions. When one driving axle of the vehicle spins freely, it can quickly lock the differential, turning the two driving axles into a rigid connection. This allows most or even all of the torque to be transmitted to the non-slipping driving axle, fully utilizing its adhesion to generate sufficient traction, enabling the vehicle to continue moving. Classification of differential locks: Currently, common differential locks mainly include the following types: forced locking type, high-friction self-locking type, jaw coupling type, Torsen type, and viscous coupling type.
