Normal operating range
Hump region
Difference in rotating speed between
right and left wheels (rpm)
RemarkslA hump occurs when there is a large differencein rotatinwheels..!speed between the right and leftlnce the large difference causes
violent shearing of the silicone oil in the
viscous couplin7.by the plates, the oil tempera-
ture rises (the SI Icone 011 expands), and the
torque abruptly rises. If the hump occurs, the
inner and outer plates enter a directly coupled(differential locked) state.llAOO5r
FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES(1) The viscous coupling type limited-slip differential
is functionally the same as
the conventional
mechanical type which reduces slipping of the
rear wheels for better performance when travel-
ing on a rough road or when getting out of a
snowy or muddy surface.
(2) The viscous coupling type limited slip differential
responds to a difference in rotating speed and
has outstanding characteristics for use in an
on-road
4WD vehicle, as it has no difference in
characteristics in the normal operating range
between when power is ON and when it is OFF,
and provides better straight ahead stability and
running performance.
(3) When a single wheel is slipping, a hump could
cause the differential to approach a locked state.
Provision is therefore made to provide a better
ability to get out even in cases of one in a million
such as a stuck state.

REAR DISC BRAKE‘he rear brake is the
AD30P type, featuring highly
tifficient heat dissipation, quick recovery of braking
force when wet, and highly stabilized braking force.The brake system incorporates an auto adjuster that
automatically adjusts the clearance between the
pad and brake disc when
t.he brake pedal is
depressed.

. *the mounts, the principal axis of inertia support
system is employed.
This principal axis of inertia support system of
mounting functions to support the upper
part of the
engine and the upper part of the transaxle, thereby
effectively suppressing engine vibrations. Note that
there are the following features at the various
installation parts.
lThe transmission of engine vibration to the body
is reduced by the installation, via bushings, of
the centermember to the body.
lThe insulators each have a cavity that serves to
effectively absorb vibrations.
