LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL (IF EQUIPPED)
E080000ATQ-UK
The following procedures can be used to
confirm  that   the  locking  differential   is
functioning properly:
CAUTION
Wagon/Van (if equipped)
•  Never  start  the  engine  with  the
gearshift  lever  placed  in  the  for-
ward or reverse whilst one of the
rear wheels is jacked up and the
other in contact with the ground;
doing so may cause the vehicle to
jump forward.
A  locking differential,  if equipped,  is  for
the rear  wheel differential  only. The fea-
tures   of   this   locking   differential   are
described below:
(1)
Position the vehicle so that one wheel
is  on  a  dry  paved  surface  and the
other  on ice,  snow,  mud,  etc. Drive
the  vehicle, and  observe  the opera-
tion  of  the   locking  differential.  The
vehicle  should  not  become  stuck  if
the differential is functioning properly.
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  cor-
nering. The difference between  the lock-
ing differential  and a conventional differ-
ential is  that if the  wheel on one  side of
the   vehicle  loses   traction,   a   greater
amount of  torque  is applied  to the  rear
wheel on the  other side to  improve trac-
tion.
•  If one of the rear wheels begins to
spin in mud, snow, etc., the vehicle
can  sometimes  be  driven  out  by
depressing  the  accelerator  pedal
further;  however,   avoid  running
the  engine  continuously  at  high
rpm because doing so could dam-
age the locking differential.
(2)
Depress the accelerator pedal gradu-
ally, and  then when  traction is good,
depress  it   forcefully.  If  the   vehicle
accelerates  well,   the  differential   is
functioning properly.
NOTICE
Usually a  locking differential  will oper-
ate and  release  automatically but  occa-
sionally it may not release automatically.
At  this  time   you  will  feel  the   tyre  is
dragged when you are driving or corner-
ing. You can release it manually by slight-
ly  turning the  steering  wheel right  and
left whilst the vehicle is moving slowly.
NOTICE
a    stationary    position,    the    LD
In
(Locking Differential) will operate when
the  difference  of  the  revolution  speed
between  the  rear  right  wheel  and  the
rear left wheel occurs.
