Octavia 3 (5E) – Electronic differential lock (XDS)

Purpose: to set the electronic differential lock (XDS)

The electronic differential lock (XDS) is an extension of the well-known EDS function.
XDS does not react to wheel slip under acceleration, however, but allows the inside front wheel to be unloaded when cornering.
XDS puts pressure on the inside wheel during cornering from the hydraulic ESP to prevent wheel spin.
