Question Locking Rear Differential, Active Brake Differential ?

Was going over my recent purchase and came across this from my dealer as options - Locking Rear Differential, Active Brake Differential. Couldn't find them on any options list.

Can anyone shed some light on this.

Thanks

I've figured it out..

Locking Rear Differential = Limited Slip Differential
Active Brake Differential = Traction Control

My car has:
# 220 Locking Differential
# 222 Traction Control System
#224 Active Brake Differential
I conclude that Active Brake Differential does not equal Traction Control

we need more information on you car to tell you what is going on.

Limited Slip Differentials were only available on '99 cars and 40th Anniversary ('04) cars (base 996s not GT's or Turbos)

I've got the same 220, 222, and 224. But every option code decoder that I've seen doesn't have 222 on it. It seems that 222 (T.C.) and 224 (A.B.D) are the same. ???

222 is "ASR Traction Control System"

What's the difference between "traction control" and PSM?
