spinning occurs in a ditch or rough surface.

trolled the spinning of the drive

If the brake system overheats  
The system will cease operation and a buzzer will alert the driver. At this time,  
the “AUTO LSD” indicator will flash and the “TRAC OFF” indicator will come  
on. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. (There is no problem with continuing nor-  
mal driving.) The system will be automatically restored after a short time.  
WARNING  
To avoid an accident  
Failure to do so, a much greater steering effort and more careful cornering  
control will be required.  
Do not use the AUTO LSD system in conditions other than when one of  
the drive wheels spinning occurs in a ditch or rough surface.  
Do not drive with the AUTO LSD system continuously turned on.  
NOTICE  
Activating while driving
