Put her in low box & rock crawl with the 4x4 info screen. Move off slowly and the centre diff lock should go red, as will the rear if you've got it.

Well it does on a D3. Whistle


This doesn't work on a D4 Thumbs Up

Your first photo shows the centre diff lock partially locked and the second photo shows it unlocked. It has a centre diff lock as standard all D3/4's have the centre one as standard the rear one was a £750 option.

As per this thread, it is not a manual diff lock and it works automatically.

Mine looks like this but I have an additional pad lock symbol at the rear axel. THat should imply that I got the extra diff...?

Trond - getting confused here. Your profile says you have a 2010 yet you say you have the 2012 display?

Have you looked for the e-diff as I described to you yesterday?

Only takes seconds to look.

I must admit that I have no idea how to do it even though you were so kind to send me a link with pictures..... Sorry!

Yes it does I check this works with all D4 stock.

Select low box then Terrain Response into Rock Crawl and centre diff icon will turn red from green as diff locks. Thumbs Up
