Limited slip differential (for (Diesel) 2.7 VGT) (if equipped)
To avoid injury, never run the engine with one wheel off the ground, such as when changing a tire.
A limited slip differential, if equipped, is for the rear wheel differential only. The features of this limited slip differential are described below;
Just as with 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 cornering.
The difference between the limited slip differential and a conventional differential 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 traction.
