33LIMITED-SLIP DIFFEREN- TIAL
CAUTION:
o Never start the engine with the gearshift lever placed in the for- ward or reverse while one of the rear wheels is jacked up and theother in contact with the ground; doing so may cause the vehicle to jump forward.
o If one of the rear wheels begins to spin in mud, snow, etc., thevehicle can sometimes be drivenout by depressing the accelera- tor pedal further; however, avoid running the engine continuouslyat high rpm because doing so could damage the locking differ- ential.
!
The following procedures can be used to confirm that the locking differentialis functioning properly:
(1) Position the vehicle so that one
wheel is on a dry paved surface and the other on ice, snow, mud, etc. Drive the vehicle, and observe theoperation of the locking differential. The vehicle should not become stuck if the differential is function-ing properly.
(2) Depress the accelerator pedal
gradually, and then when traction isgood, depress it forcefully. If the vehicle accelerates well, the differ- ential is functioning properly. D190A02P-GAT
(Truck)(If installed) A limited-slip differential, if equipped, is for the rear wheel differential only.The features of this limited-slip differ- ential are described below: Just as with a 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 iscornering. The difference between the limited-slip differential and a conven- tional differential is that if the wheel onone side of the vehicle loses traction, a greater amount of torque is applied to the rear wheel on the other side toimprove traction. NOTE: In a stationary position, the L.S.D will operate when the torque differ- ence between the rear right wheel and the left wheel is from 5Kgf·m to9 Kgf·m.

SPARE TIRE
E050A02P-GAT (Minibus/Van) (If installed) Check the air pressure of the spare tire frequently and make sure it is ready foremergency use at any time. Maintaining the spare tire at the high- est specified air pressure will ensurethat it can always be used under any conditions (city/-high-speed driving, varying load weight, etc.). NOTE: The spare tire is located underneath the car. HSRFL050

E050D01PD050A01HP-GAT If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
1. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal and let the car slow down while driving straight ahead. Do not apply the brakes immediately or at- tempt to pull off the road as this maycause a loss of control. When the car has slowed to such a speed that it is safe to do so, brake carefullyand pull off the road. Drive off the road as far as possible and park on firm, level ground. If you are on adivided highway, do not park in the median area between the two traffic lanes.
2. When the car is stopped, turn on your emergency hazard flashers,set the parking brake and put thetransmission in "P" (automatic trans- mission) or reverse (manual trans- mission).
3. Have all passengers get out of the car. Be sure they all get out on theside of the car that is away fromtraffic.
4. Change the tire according to the
instructions provided as following.

CAUTION:
The spare tire should always besecurely in position.If a flat tire is changed, put the flat tire in the spare tire mounting posi- tion, and use the wheel nut wrenchto secure it firmly.
