7-14 Starting and driving
CAUTION
Use only the special oil designed for limited slip
differentials if your vehicle is equipped with a
limited slip differential.
NOTE:
A vehicle with limited slip differential can be identi-
fied by precautionary stickers near its driver’s
seat and on the rear axle housing.
The limited slip differential actions take place auto-
matically, but you are recommended to pay atten-
tion to the following points:
• On slippery road surfaces, excessively depress-
ing the accelerator pedal during a turn may
cause the vehicle to skid and lose balance.
Keep this in mind for your safety.
• Using tires different in air pressure or outside
diameter between the right and left wheels may
result in pulling the vehicle to one side during
acceleration or uneven wear of tires. Check the
tires regularly to make sure the right and left
ones are inflated to the same pressure and not
different in outside diameter.
• Distribute the load weight evenly. If the load is
heavier at the rear, the vehicle’s tendency to
move in a straight line will slightly increase.
WARNING
When you raise the vehicle on one side for
replacing a tire or any other purpose, never
rotate the raised wheel. Doing so is danger-
ous as power is transmitted to the wheel
which is on the ground and the vehicle could
move.
