'04 Rav4_U (L/O 0308) Brake pad wear limit indicators For an explanation of this system's warning light, see "Service reminder indicators and warning buzzers" on page 109 in Section 1- 6. Limited- slip differential (four- wheel drive models) Your Toyota is equipped with a limited- slip center differential (transfer). If one wheel begins to spin, the limited- slip center differential (transfer) is designed to aid traction by automatically transmitting driving force to the wheels on the other drive axle. It transmits driving force to the front wheels if a rear wheel spins, and to the rear wheels if a front wheel spins. Some models are also equipped with a limited- slip rear differential. If one rear wheel begins to spin, the limited- slip rear differential is designed to aid traction by automatically transmitting driving force to the other rear wheel. If you are not sure whether your vehicle is equipped with one, you can ask your Toyota dealer. The brake pad wear limit indicators on your disc brakes give a warning noise when the brake pads are worn to where replacement is required. If you hear a squealing or scraping noise while driving, have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. Expensive rotor damage can result if the pads are not replaced when necessary. CAUTION Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by a jack. The vehicle could be driven off the jack and could pose a danger or result in serious injury. 207 2004 RAV4 from Aug. '03 Prod. (OM42554U)
