3-144 Features and controls
3Limited-slip differential
(if so equipped)
N00517400069
A limited-slip differential is applied for rear wheel differential.
The features of this limited-slip differential 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 is cornering. The difference
between the limited-slip differential and a conventional differ-
ential is that if the wheel on one side of the vehicle loses trac-
tion, a greater amount of torque is applied to the wheel on the
other side to improve traction.NOTE
Even if there is a difference in the amount of traction the
wheels can get, if both of them are spinning, the limited-
slip differential will not be effective.
Service brake
N00517500262
Brake pedalOveruse of the brake can cause poor brake response and pre-
mature wear of the brake pads and linings.
When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by
downshifting.
CAUTION
!
Never start the engine while one of the front or rear
wheels is jacked up and the other in contact with the
ground; doing so may cause the vehicle to jump for-
ward.
Continuously attempting to extract the vehicle from
snow, mud, etc. while using high engine rpm may
damage the limited-slip differential.
Using a compact spare wheel will adversely affect
the limited-slip differential; replace the compact
spare wheel with a standard size wheel as soon as
possible.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let
a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the
full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emer-
gency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated
freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is
securely held in place.
CAUTION
!
It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot
resting on the brake pedal when braking is not
required. This practice can result in very high brake
temperatures, premature pad and lining wear, and
possible damage to the brakes.

2. To remove the spare tire, remove the installation clamp
(C) by turning it counterclockwise.NOTE
The clamp cannot be used for a normal size tire. Store a
normal size tire under the luggage floor board.
NOTE
Put the spare tire under the vehicle body near the jack.
This makes it safer if the jack slips out of position.
