Limited slip differential (LSD) (STI)

Subaru Impreza / Subaru Impreza Owners Manual / Starting and operating / Limited slip differential (LSD) (STI)

• Never start the engine while a tire on one side is jacked up, as the vehicle may move.

• 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.
