mode.
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.
