With the diff backed all the way "off", the car has a 66:33 or so power bias to the rear wheels.

Under these conditions, the car will have a natural tendency to oversteer under power.

As you turn the controller wheel up, the centre differential will gradually be stiffened, resulting in a more even effective power bias. The car will be less and less prone to power oversteer, and more and less likely to lock its front wheels under braking. It will also tend to push on (i.e. understeer) in tighter corners.

Note that you should never drive with the diff fully locked unless you're on snow, or an equally low grip surface, as it'll make the pushing on far too pronounced.

You should also back the diff right off when parking/reversing.
