Electronic Limited Slip Differential activation

[CCPLuvr]

All.
I spent some time looking through the owner's manual and what I could find online without an answer. I did see that the owner's manual said Terrain mode uses eLSD but no other mode mentions it's use. What activates the eLSD in our vehicles equipped with this feature? Is it always trying to detect slip then activates or is it only in specific modes?

I believe it's automatically engaged. Kind of like the old G80. Here is a good description although it is the corvette's eLSD.

It is always on...wheel slip will activate it.

It is always on...wheel slip will activate it.

I hope that's the case but GM doesn't explain that well anywhere.

That is the case....that is the entire poit of the eLSD...open when road conditions require, and locked up when needed.

I understand how it functions, that's one of the reasons for wanting the air suspension package. But GM only references it in Terrain mode in the owner's manual. How do you know it's active all the time? I find it odd that's the only mode it's referenced in. I hope it's not the case but if it is I'll truly be disappointed.
