Precautions

When attempting to free the vehicle from mud, snow, or similar conditions, avoid sudden acceleration or spinning the tires at high RPM for an extended time.

  • Avoid spinning the tires continuously at high RPM, as it can damage the m-LD.

  • When accelerating suddenly to free the vehicle, differences in road surface friction may cause the vehicle to twist.

  • m-LD activates when the difference in rotational speed between the left and right wheels exceeds a certain threshold.

Never start the engine while any wheel is raised on a jack.

When the engine is running and you engage a drive gear, the tire on the ground will rotate, potentially causing the vehicle to move suddenly and create a dangerous situation.

WARNING

Never start the engine in a vehicle equipped with the m-LD while any wheel is raised on a jack, as this is dangerous.

CAUTION
  • When one wheel is stuck in a puddle and starts spinning, increasing its rotation speed can help free the vehicle, but if you can’t escape because you do this for too long or dig the surface too deeply, have the vehicle towed.

  • Always use the recommended differential oil.
