Driving your vehicle
the pedal whilst the driving, the clutch
may be damaged or worn out prema-
turely.
僅 Whilst parking on a steep grade, do
not use half clutch method to park the
vehicle. It will cause premature wear
of the clutch disc.
僅 Whilst driving at fast speed, do not
abruptly shift to low speed.
It may lead to engine and transmis-
sion damage.
*1)
Half clutch
A condition where the clutch is halfen-
gaged and sliding. It may occur when
the clutch pedal is partially depressed
(not fully depressed), or vehicle power is
transferred to the clutch before the
pedal is fully let go.
WARNING
僅 When starting a fully stopped vehicle,
refrain to start in 2nd gear. When
starting in 2nd gear, abnormal clutch
disc friction heat may occur and result
in clutch cover and clutch disc dam-
age.
僅 When the vehicle is in motion, please
refrain from using half clutch. The use
of half clutch whilst the vehicle is in
motion may result in early clutch disc
wear, abnormal vibration or noise.
僅 The clutch pedal should be depressed
fully for any operation. When letting
go of the depressed pedal, make sure
not to depress the pedal again before
the pedal goes back to its initial posi-
tion. If such unintended re-depressing
occurs, the clutch system may be
damaged.

(Diesel) 2.7 VGT) (if equipped)
WARNING
To avoid injury, never run the engine
with one wheel off the ground, such as
when changing a tyre.
A limited slip differential, if equipped, is
for the rear wheel differential only. The
features of this limited slip differential
are described below;
Just as with 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 limited slip
differential and a conventional differen-
tial is that if the wheel on one side of the
vehicle loses traction, a greater amount
of torque is applied to the rear wheel on
the other side to improve traction.
