TANK 500 4WD, transfer case and differential locks
4WD system summary with non-DIY boundaries.
Safety and service note
What is confirmed
Official sources confirm all-wheel drive with a multi-disc coupling and a lowered transfer case option, and the Russia trims page lists front/rear differential locks on the City Premium trim (locks may vary by market and trim). The GWM platform page describes crawling mode as automatically managing throttle and brakes for difficult terrain.
Scope and safety boundaries
This is not a repair guide. Transfer-case, differential and 4WD-system internals must remain with authorized TANK service; incorrect use of differential locks or low range on the wrong surface can damage the driveline.
