Starting and operating
7-21
– CONTINUED –
Rear viscous limited slip differential
(for S models)
CAUTION
D Never start the engine while a tire on one side is jacked up, as
the vehicle may move.
D If one rear tire is spinning in mud, avoid continued spinning at
high speed as this could adversely affect the LSD.
D If a different size rear tire is temporarily used (as in an emer-
gency), it will adversely affect the LSD. Always replace it with a
regular size tire as soon as possible.
The LSD provides optimum distribution of power according to the differ-
ence in revolutions between the right and left rear wheels that may be
caused by certain driving conditions, thereby improving driving stability
on snow-covered, muddy or other slippery roads.
Power steering
CAUTION
Do not hold the steering wheel at the fully locked position left or
right for more than five seconds. This may damage the power
steering pump.
The power steering system operates only when the engine is running.
If you lose power steering assist because the engine stops or the system
fails to function, you can steer but it will take much more effort.
