2-wheel Drive Light Indicator

[Kneale Brownson]

There is no "two-wheel-drive" in a Quattro system.  You have all-wheel
drive all the time.   The system varies where power goes depending upon the
need, but it's somewhat front-wheel biased.   What you think is two-wheel
drive is locking the center differential.  This puts the system in a 50-50
power delivery mode.    The second stage is locking the rear differential.
The fact the light doesn't light probably means there's a bulb out or it
could mean the center differential lock actuator isn't functioning.
