not LSD but electronic centre diff..........
you'll probably find that for HARD tarmac driving you'll not use much above the middle setting and normally just rolled forward into the green settings.
basically its the amount of LOCKING thats applied to the centre diff so that it distributes the power to the front diff more evenly, if its dry you could leave it on "O" and it'll behave like a mk2 escort or as you move it forwards it transfers more and more to give almost a front wheel drive effect

For Tarmac AFAIK it's best to stick to the green area, and only in really heavy rain etc should the first orange block be used. More than this will result in wear and poss. damage to the diff plates...

Cheers guys, I have been running her in the green so thats cool, I was also told you can not put the car in reverse if you have the diff locked (orange lock), not tried but thought I would bring it to your attention.
