Side By Side / Re: Diff Lock Problem?
« on: April 22, 2012, 06:46:54 PM »
I think I can answer part of my question.  Looks like the "Lock" lights up after moving a bit.  I stop, flip the switch nothing happens, but if I leave it on and drive a short distance "LOCK" lights up, so it looks like it's working correctly.  Same thing when turning it off.  Stop, flip it back, then drive a short distance and the light goes off.  Seems to be working.

Park is still odd though.  Putting it into park and getting it out is still a bit tricky.

Side By Side / Diff Lock Problem?
« on: April 19, 2012, 01:34:16 PM »
I just took delivery of a new 500i SE last night.  I'm having a couple of issues.

First, the diff lock button doesn't seem to do anything.  Am I using it wrong?  I flip the top of the switch toward the back of the vehicle, but I get NO indicator on the LCD display.  "LOCK" doesn't show up as the manual says it should.  Nothing.

Second, park is a bit funky.  I have a hard time getting it into park sometimes (almost always actually), but if I rock the machine or play with the lever a bit I can get it to go into Park.  THEN, if I DO get it into park, it's difficult to get it out of park.  If I push the lever forward I can get the "R" light to light up, but the lever won't stay there and it won't go further forward than roughly the "R" position.  If I let go it snaps back into park.  The only way I've been able to get it OUT of park is to step on the gas a bit when it's showing as in reverse, then the lever will behave normally again.  Is this a simple adjustment or do I have a serious problem?  Dealer says it's because it's new and it'll be better once broken in.  I'm thinking it needs an adjustment somewhere.

Thanks.
