Driving your vehicle
A limited slip differential if equipped, is for
the rear wheel differential only. The fea-
tures of this limited slip differential are
described below;
Just as with conventional differential, the
wheel on one side is allowed to turn at a
different speed from the wheel on the
other side when the vehicle is cornering.
The difference between the limited slip
differential and a conventional differential
is that if the wheel on one side of the
vehicle loses traction, a greater amount
of torque is applied to the rear wheel on
the other side to improve traction.
WARNING
To avoid injury, never run the
engine with one wheel off the
ground, such as when changing a
tire.
WARNING
Avoid high cornering speed.
Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at high speeds.
In a collision crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely
to die compared to a person
wearing a seat belt.
•Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver over
steers to re-enter the roadway.
In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
