LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (LSD) Electronic control continuously distributes torque to the front and rear wheels in the range from 0:100 (rear-wheel drive mode) to 50:50 (all-wheel drive mode) to match the driving conditions and road conditions. This allows the engine output (torque) to be effectively transmitted to the road surface. The rear final drive of this vehicle is equipped with a 1.5-way mechanical Limited Slip Differential (LSD). does not indicate that there is a malfunction. . The LSD controls the speed difference between the left and right wheels, and optimally allocates torque to the wheels. The 1.5-way mechanical LSD in the rear final drive of this vehicle is characterized by its asymmetrical LSD effects when the accelerator pedal is ON and when it is OFF. This allows the appropriate amount of torque for the driving environment to be transmitted to the road surface. WARNING Sudden operation of the accelerator pedal can result in fishtailing or sideslip, possibly causing an accident. Use particular caution when driving in rainy weather or on slippery roads. . NOTICE Use the designated differential gear oil. If any oil other than the designated oil is used, the LSD may not operate correctly, and noise and vibration may occur, possibly resulting in a malfunction. NOTE: . If the vehicle accelerates from a stop with the steering wheel turned in cold temperatures, the inner wheel tire may slip and some noise or vibration may be heard. This phenomenon is unique to vehicles equipped with the LSD. This 5-44 Starting and driving
