Starting and operating 7-15
Turn the dial rearward to reduce the initial
LSD torque; when the white line reaches
the rearmost position, the initial LSD
torque will be minimum and the # $ indi-
cator light will come on. Under this condi-
tion, only the Mechanical LSD torque will
limit the differential action.
NOTE
A higher initial LSD torque setting
gives the vehicle greater traction when
driving straight ahead but makes cor-
nering more difficult. Remember this
when adjusting the initial LSD torque.
In general, higher initial LSD torque
settings assist driving on slippery
roads and lower settings for non-slip-
pery roads. If you become stuck in
snow or mud, turning the center differ-
ential control dial to the frontmost po-
sition will help move the vehicle out.
(The #LOCK$ indicator will come on at
the frontmost position.)
During cornering or when making
turns (especially when getting into the
garage), the rotational difference be-
tween the front and rear wheels may
cause a braking effect accompanied by
vibration and noise. This does not indi-
cate a problem. The phenomenon will
disappear when you turn the center dif-
ferential control dial to the rearmost
position (minimum initial LSD torque
position).
Use the center-differential indicator
light only as a rough indication of the
initial LSD torque.
If you operate the center differential
control dial while quickly accelerating
or turning a tight corner, you may feel
slight shocks. This is due to differential
action by the center differential and
does not indicate a problem.
Temporary release
When the driver stops the vehicle and
pulls the parking-brake lever after manual-
ly setting the initial LSD torque, the LSD
torque is temporarily minimized. However
the indicator in the combination meter
continues to show the driver"s selected ini-
tial LSD torque. When the driver releases
the parking-brake lever, the initial LSD
torque set by the driver is restored.
Do not turn the control dial when
a wheel slippage occurs. Wait un-
til the wheelspin has been
brought under control.

Under any of the following condi-
tions, turn the center differential
control dial to the rearmost posi-
tion to minimize the initial LSD
torque:
When a temporary spare tire is
installed
When your vehicle is towed
When the vehicle is stopped
with the manual mode selected
