Black plate (206,1)
Model "R35-D" EDITED: 2008/ 5/ 20
This vehicle is equipped with a 1.5-way me-
chanical Limited Slip Differential (LSD).
WARNING
Sudden operation of the accelerator
pedal can result in fishtailing or side-
slip, possibly causing an accident. Use
particular caution when driving in rainy
weather or on slippery roads.
NOTICE
Use the designated differential gear oil.
If any oil other than the designated oil
is used, the LSD may not operate
correctly, and noise and vibration may
occur, possibly resulting in a malfunc-
tion.
NOTE:
. If the vehicle accelerates from a stop
with the steering wheel turned in cold
temperatures, the inner wheel tire may
slip and some noise or vibration may
be heard. This phenomenon is unique
to vehicles equipped with the LSD. This
does not indicate that there is a mal-
function.
. The LSD controls the speed difference
between the left and right wheels, and
optimally allocates torque to the
wheels.
. The 1.5-way mechanical LSD in this
vehicle is characterized by its asymme-
trical LSD effects when the accelerator
pedal is ON and when it is OFF. This
allows the appropriate amount of tor-
que for the driving environment to be
transmitted to the road surface.
