Rear viscous limited slip dif-
ferential (LSD) (if equipped)
Never start the engine while a tire
on one side is jacked up, as the
vehicle may move.
If one rear tire is spinning in mud,
avoid continued spinning at high

fect the LSD.
If a different size rear tire is tem-
porarily used (as in an emergen-
cy), it will adversely affect the
LSD. Always replace it with a reg-
ular size tire as soon as possible.
The LSD provides optimum distribution of
power according to the difference in revo-
lutions between the right and left rear
wheels that may be caused by certain
driving conditions, thereby improving driv-
ing stability on snow-covered, muddy or
other slippery roads.
