What Does the 'Lock' Button Do in the Kia Sorento?

I recently purchased a Kia Sorento and noticed there is a 'Lock' button on the dashboard. What does this button do and when should I use it?

The 'Lock' button on the Kia Sorento is used to lock the center differential, which distributes power evenly between the front and rear wheels for better traction. You should only use this button when driving in rough or slippery conditions.

The 'Lock' button on the Kia Sorento activates the car's hill descent control, which helps control speed when driving down steep inclines. This can be useful when driving in mountainous areas or on steep roads.

The 'Lock' button can also be used to lock the parking brake to prevent the car from rolling. This can be useful when parking on a steep incline or when towing a trailer.
