AUTO LSD system uses the traction control system to control engine performance and braking when one of the rear wheels begins to spin, increasing traction to the wheel that’s not spinning. The system should be used only when one of the rear wheels spinning occurs in a ditch or rough surface.
If the rear wheels spin, the slip indicator flashes to indicate that the AUTO LSD system has been controlled the spinning of the rear wheels.
