Limited Slip Differential - Lexus GX470 2006 Service Manual

LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL

Your Lexus is equipped with a limited slip center differential
(transfer).
If one wheel — either front or rear — begins to spin, the transfer
(limited slip center differential) is designed to aid traction by
automatically transmitting driving force to the wheels on the
other drive axle. It transmits driving force to the front wheels
if a rear wheel spins, and to the rear wheels if a front wheel
spins.
CAUTION
Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is
supported by a jack. The vehicle could be driven off the
jack and could pose a danger or result in serious injury.
NOTICE
Use only a spare tire of the same size, construction and
load capacity as the original tires on your Lexus
because damage to the limited slip differential could
possibly occur with another tire type.
