Limited-Slip Differential; Your Toyota's Identification - Toyota 2001 HIGHLANDER Owner's Manual

Limited–slip differential
Some Toyotas are equipped with a lim-
ited–slip differential. If one rear wheel be-
gins to spin, the limited–slip differential is
designed to aid traction by automatically
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.
NOTICE
Use only a spare tire of the same
size, construction and load capacity
as the original tires on your Toyota
because damage to the limited–slip
differential could possibly occur with
another tire type.
