NOTE

y

If the differential-limiting factor is large during

cornering maneuvers, a small speed difference

between the front and rear wheels may cause tight

corner braking (a phenomenon accompanied by

vibration and noise). This phenomenon does not

indicate a problem. It will disappear if the differen-

tial-action limiting factor is reduced.
y

Use the center-differential indicator light only as

a rough indication of the differential-action limit-

ing factor.
y

If you rapidly depress and release the accelera-

tor pedal while driving at low speed, you may hear

a knocking sound from the vicinity of the center

differential and rear differential. This sound oc-

curs because of the structure of the center differ-

ential. It does not indicate a problem.

Temporary release

When the driver stop the vehicle and pulls the parking-

brake lever after manually setting the differential-ac-

tion limiting factor, the factor is temporarily minimized.

The indicator in the combination meter continues to

show the driver’s selected differential-action limiting

factor. When the driver releases the parking-brake le-

ver, the factor set by the driver is restored.
