The driver"s control center differential al-
lows you to freely change the degree of
limitation of the differential action (limited
slip differential (LSD) torque) of your vehi-
cle"s center differential.
By using the center differential control di-
al, you can set an initial LSD torque to
match the road surface conditions, driving
conditions and your driving style.
1) LSD torque
2) Traction torque
A) Initial LSD torque (adjustable)
B) Mechanical LSD torque
NOTE
If you rapidly depress and release the
accelerator pedal while driving at low
speed, you may hear a knocking sound
from the vicinity of the center differen-
tial and rear differential. This sound oc-
curs because of the structure of the
center differential. It does not indicate
a problem.
Auto mode
In the auto mode, the system estimates
the driving and road conditions using sig-
nals from the wheel speed sensor, throttle
position sensor, steering angle sensor
and brake switch, etc. According to the re-
sult, it electronically and automatically
controls the degree of limitation of the dif-
ferential action (LSD torque) to optimize
the differential action of the center differ-
ential. When the ignition switch is turned
ON, the #AUTO$ indicator light in the com-
bination meter comes on. The system can
be switched to a manual mode.
Manual mode
In the manual mode, you can use the cen-
ter differential control dial to adjust the ini-
In the event of failure of the driver!s
control center differential, the # $
indicator light will flash. Have the
vehicle inspected by your SUBARU
dealer.
