CAUTION
l
The ACD control mode display may flash
under aggressive driving conditions.
At this time, ACD control is temporarily
suspended in order to protect the ACD de-
vice, but this will not affect normal driving.
After the vehicle is driven for a while, if
the ACD control mode display remains
on, the ACD control will start operating
again.
ACD warning display
E00625300102
When there is a malfunction in the system, the
warning display will appear on the information
screen in the multi-information display.
In
addition, the ACD control mode display in sec-
tion (A) will go out at the same time.
CAUTION
l
The system may be malfunctioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the
warning display goes out.
If
the
warning display goes out, there
is
no abnormal condition. If the
warn-
ing
display does not go out or appears fre-
quently, it is not necessary to stop the ve-
hicle immediately, but we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.
NOTE
l
If
the ambient temperature drops and the vis-
cosity of the AWC control fluid increases,
the warning may be displayed.
At this time, ACD control is temporarily sus-
pended, but this will not affect normal driving.
After the vehicle is driven for a while, if the
engine is restarted after the AWC control flu-
id warms up or the ambient temperature in-
creases, the ACD control will start operating
again if the warning display goes out.
Limited-slip differential (LSD)*
E00606900082
A
limited-slip differential (LSD) is applied for the
rear wheel differential. The features of this LSD
are described below:
Just as with a conventional differential, the wheel
on one side is allowed to turn at a different speed
from the wheel on the other side when the vehicle
is cornering. The difference between the LSD and
a conventional differential is that if the wheel on
one side of the vehicle loses traction, a greater
amount of torque is applied to the wheel on the oth-
er side to improve traction.
NOTE
l
Even if there is a difference in the amount of
traction the wheels can get, if both of them
are spinning, the LSD will not be effective.
CAUTION
l
Never
start the engine while one of the
rear wheels is jacked up and the other in
contact with the ground; doing so may
cause the vehicle to jump forward.
l
Continuously attempting to extract the ve-
hicle from snow, mud, etc. while using
high engine rpm may damage the LSD.
l
Using a compact spare wheel will adverse-
ly affect the LSD; replace the compact
spare wheel with a standard size wheel as
soon as possible.
