LIMITED SLIP
DIFFERENTIAL (LSD)
(IF EQUIPPED)
Dynamometer testing
An AWD vehicle must be tested on a
special four wheel chassis
dynamometer.
An AWD vehicle should not be tested
on a 2WD roll tester. If a 2WD roll
tester must be used, perform the fol-
lowing procedure:1. Check the tire pressures recom-
mended for your vehicle.
2. Place the rear wheels on the roll tester for a speedometer test as
shown in the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the front wheels on the tem- porary free roller as shown in the
illustration. Limited Slip Differential (LSD) refers
to a system equipped with a mecha-
nism that controls the differential
functions of the wheels in the Rear-
Differential. It allows for an enhance-
ment in handling performance during
turning.
Never run wheels with one of them
lifted by the jack. It is extremely dan-
gerous for a vehicle equipped with
Limited Slip Differential.
Be sure to inject oil for exclusive use
of LSD when replacing Rear
Differential (for LSD) Oil.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
There could be slight noises coming
from friction plates inside LSD
when the LSD-equipped vehicle is
turning around, but it is a normal
sound in the process of LSD opera-
tion and the noises don't indicate
vehicle failure.
Oil change is highly recommended in
case that the sound becomes louder.
WARNING
Keep away from the front of the
vehicle while the vehicle is in
gear on the dynamometer. The
vehicle can jump forward and
cause serious injury or death.

*1: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2: Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s
time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.

3: Regardless of oil change intervals, replace oil immediately if Rear-Differential or Front-Differential is submerged.
*4: Be sure to inject oil for exclusive use of LSD when replacing Rear Differential (for LSD) Oil.
