STARTING AND DRIVING
427
LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
Your Lexus is equipped with a limited-slip center differential
(transfer).
If one wheel — either front or rear — begins to spin, the transfer
(limited-slip center differential) is designed to aid traction by
automatically transmitting driving force to the wheels on the
other drive axle. It transmits driving force to the front wheels
if a rear wheel spins, and to the rear wheels if a front wheel
spins.
CAUTION
Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is
supported by a jack. The vehicle could be driven off the
jack and could pose a danger or result in serious injury.
NOTICE
Use only a spare tire of the same size, construction and
load capacity as the original tires on your Lexus
because damage to the limited-slip differential could
possibly occur with another tire type.
