CAUTION
• Before stopping the engine, allow it to idle
so the coolant temperature comes down.
Engine parts are particularly hot immediately
after the vehicle has been driven uphill or on
an expressway. Let the engine idle for at
least three minutes. P. 5-12
• Leaving the vehicle sitting for a long time
with the starter switch in the “ON” or “ACC”
position could result in a dead battery.
• Be sure to turn off all lights after parking to
prevent drainage of the battery.
4. If parking on a slope is unavoidable, block the
wheels securely with chocks and take any other
necessary measures to prevent the vehicle from
moving.
<Standard on FG>
The limited slip differential performs a special func-
tion in addition to the ordinary differential function
which is needed when the vehicle is in a turn. When
one wheel begins to spin on a slippery surface, the
limited slip differential provides most of the driving
force to the wheel which is not spinning, thus auto-
matically stopping the spinning and providing trac-
tion to the vehicle.
This function is effective when driving on bumpy or
snow laden roads, and useful when moving the
vehicle out of mud.
CAUTION
Use only the special oil designed for limited slip
differentials if your vehicle is equipped with a
limited slip differential.

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.
