Limited−slip differential
Your Toyota is equipped with a limited−slip
center differential (transfer). If one wheel
begins to spin, the limited−slip center dif-
ferential (transfer) is designed to aid trac-
tion by automatically transmitting driving
force to the wheels on the other drive
axle. It transmits driving force to the front
wheel if a rear wheel spins, and to the
rear wheels if a front wheel spins.
On some models—
Your Toyota is also equipped with a lim-
ited−slip rear differential. If one rear wheel
begins to spin, the limited−slip rear differ-
ential is designed to aid traction by auto-
matically transmitting driving force to the
other rear wheel. If you are not sure
whether your vehicle is equipped with one,
you can ask your Toyota dealer.
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 re-
sult in serious injury.
