Limited Slip Differential (LSD)

Limited Slip Differential (LSD)
(if equipped)
Limited Slip Differential (LSD) refers to a
system equipped with a mechanism that
controls the differential functions of the
wheels in the Rear Differential. The Lim-
ited Slip Differential helps improve han-
dling performance when circling.
Never run wheels with one of them lifted
by the jack. It is extremely dangerous for
a vehicle equipped with Limited Slip Dif-
ferential.
Be sure to inject oil for exclusive use of
LSD when replacing Rear Differential
(for LSD) Oil.
NOTICE
For vehicles equipped with the LSD,
internal friction sound may be heard
when cornering. These conditions are
normal and indicate that LSD is function-
ing properly. If the internal friction sound
gradually increases, we recommend that
the Rear Differential (for LSD) oil be
changed by an authorized Kia dealer.
