Starting and operating/Driver’s Control Center Differential (C.DIFF/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

Push the switch forward to increase the
initial LSD torque; when the “LOCK”
indicator appears, the initial LSD torque
setting is maximum. The center differential
will then be almost completely locked.

Pull the switch rearward to reduce the
initial LSD torque. When the lowest position of the driver’s control center differential indicator is displayed, 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”/“OFF” position. However, F
