Starting and operating/Driver’s Control Center Differential (DCCD) (STI)

. When a temporary spare tire is
installed
. When your vehicle is towed
. When the vehicle is stopped
with the manual mode selected

NOTE

Pull the switch rearward to reduce the
initial LSD torque. When the lowest position of the driver’s control center differential indicator light illuminates, the initial
LSD torque will be minimum. Under this
condition, only the Mechanical LSD torque
will limit the differential action.

CAUTION
. Do not operate the control switch
when a wheel slippage occurs.
Wait until the wheelspin has been
brought under control.
. Under any of the following conditions after setting to the manual mode, pull the center differential control switch to minimize
the initial LSD torque:

. A higher initial LSD torque setting
gives the vehicle greater traction when
driving straight ahead but makes cornering more difficult. Remember this
when adjusting the initial LSD torque.
In general, higher initial LSD torque
settings assist driving on slippery
roads and lower settings for non-slippery roads. When the vehicle is stuck
in snow or mud, setting the initial LSD
torque to the maximum will help to free
the vehicle.
. The setting of the initial LSD torque
will remain even when the auto mode is
selected or the ignition switch is turned
to the “LOCK” position. However, the
initial LSD torque will be minimized
when the battery is disconnected and
reconnected.
