DCCD is Driver Controlled Centre Differential. There should be a control down by the handbrake somewhere, and as you wind it forward the display on the dash will change.

With it fully open (bottom green LED), front & rear wheels are free to turn at different speeds, and most of the torque goes to the rear - so you have a car that behaves much like a RWD car. Wind the DCCD control forward and the centre diff progressively offers more and more resistance, until at full lock the front wheels and rear wheels always have to turn at exactly the same speed. This gives greater stability on loose surfaces, but tight turns are not possible (expect a lot of nasty noises if you try to do a 3 point turn!).

Most people keep the diff open most of the time - you might like to wind it forward a couple of notches in bad weather.

mine is fully open (bottom green light) when the weather is dry and i wind it forward till it`s (ALMOST) in the orange when it`s wet, alot of people have been caught out with DCCD in wet conditions, when the diff is fully open it should be treated as a RWD car

Just to add.

If you drive the car in a tight circle starting with the diff in open - bottom green light on, then wind the wheel slowly forwards you feel the diff "winding up" & the car making lots of scary noises from the front.

Agree with Dunk re the settings in the wet.
