I've not long bought an sti 8 with diff control .

What are the settings and when do you engage them ?

Cheers

 

First off always adjust the settings when your moving!!

When the wheel is wound all the way back, this is called 'open' mode, this sends 80% of the power to the rear wheels and 20% to the front. This should be used for everyday driving.
Next setting up is 63% rear 37% front and should be used when the roads get very wet or greasy
Next setting is when the light turns orange, this setting is for mud/gravel.
Next setting (2nd orange) is for very muddy/ gravel and snow.
Next setting (3rd orange) is for severe driving conditions e.g heavy snow!
Last setting is the DIFF LOCK, this is for when/ if you get stuck. Apparently it is also useful for a good launch for a qtr mile, but once you get moving switch the diff to open mode again.

If when you adjust the diff and it starts to 'clunk/bang' this is normal, its just the diff getting wound up. To unwind it just put the diff in open mode and pull on the hand brake.

Hope this helps, Marx

It's written for the DCCD and not DCCD-A but the principles are the same.
