Starting and operating
.
While the engine is running, if the
CHECK ENGINE warning light/malfunc-
tion indicator lamp comes on, the SI-
drive mode changes to the Sport (S)
mode. In this case, it is not possible to
change to the Sport Sharp (S#) mode or
Intelligent (I) mode.
.
If there is a possibility that the
engine could overheat because of a
temperature increase of the engine
coolant, it is not possible to change to
the Sport Sharp (S#) mode. While the
vehicle is in the Sport Sharp (S#) mode,
it changes to the Sport (S) mode when
the engine coolant temperature in-
creases. For 3.0-liter models, it also
changes to the Sport (S) mode when
the engine oil temperature increases.
&
SI-DRIVE Sport Sharp (S#)
switch
While driving in the Sport (S) mode or
Intelligent (I) mode, when you push the
steering wheel switch, it changes to the
Sport Sharp (S#) mode.
NOTE
While driving in Sport Sharp (S#) mode,
when you push the switch, it changes
to the former mode before Sport Sharp
(S#) mode.
Limited slip differential (LSD)
(if equipped)
The LSD provides optimum distribution of
power according to the difference in
revolutions between the right and left
wheels that may be caused by certain
driving conditions, thereby improving driv-
ing stability on snow-covered, muddy or
other slippery roads or when high speed
driving.
CAUTION
.
Never start the engine while a tire
on one side is jacked up, as the
vehicle may move.
.
If one tire is spinning in mud,
avoid continued spinning at high
speed as this could adversely
affect the LSD.
.
If you use a temporary spare tire
to replace a flat tire, be sure to
use the original temporary spare
tire stored in the vehicle. Using
other sizes will adversely affect
the LSD.
