A selected axle lock improves forward traction but can increase understeer; it does not remove the risk of sliding sideways. Follow the vehicle’s engagement procedure and disengage when the poor conditions end. The manufacturer’s example allows cautious movement while locked, so “always switch off as soon as moving” is not a universal rule.
