Abstract
The present invention teaches an activation apparatus for a differential pawl. Such activation apparatus is designed to prevent damage to components of the differential pawl and/or of the drive train resulting from operator error. When a drive wheel slips, a monitoring means acquires a slip signal; and when a wheel slip signal is present, an interrupt means, which can be provided as a switching apparatus, prevents the preassurization of a pressure-medium-operated actuator of the activation mechanism.
