What do the three locks of the Mercedes-Benz G mean?
1 Answers
The three locks of the Mercedes-Benz G refer to the central differential lock, front axle differential lock, and rear axle differential lock. The central differential lock is suitable for driving on roads with gravel, slight potholes, or slopes. When the vehicle is driving on poor road conditions, the differential lock comes into play. After engaging the front axle differential lock, all wheels on the vehicle gain the same traction, making it particularly useful for extremely harsh road conditions or situations where all wheels on one side lose grip. The front axle differential lock is typically used to free the vehicle from being stuck or when driving in desert conditions. The rear axle differential lock is also suitable for severe road conditions with rocks or deep potholes. When the rear axle differential lock is engaged, the rear wheels of the vehicle gain strong traction. The Mercedes-Benz G is one of the world's most capable all-terrain off-road vehicles, with clean and distinct lines that outline the ruggedness expected of an off-roader, combined with the unique luxury and classic elegance characteristic of the Mercedes-Benz family.
