Below is the extract you mention from that Australian Pamphlet.
I think that the 'limited-slip function' mentioned is probably an electronic controlled function of the individual wheel brakes.
Other 4x4 cars sometimes have this and further tuning of responses to cover different surfaces i.e. sand, rocks, mud, snow etc.
S-AWC (Super All-Wheel Control) As a fully integrated vehicle dynamics system, the S-AWC incorporates: AYC (Active Yaw Control), ASC (Active Stability Control) and ABS. This system uses the brakes, power steering and regenerative braking to ensure maximum vehicle stability during dynamic or emergency manoeuvres. Stability: Yaw movement is controlled using the brakes and power steering with rapid torque transfer response to regulate both front/ rear and left/right torque splits.
Traction Control: Front wheel slip is controlled by a combination of a limited-slip differential function within the AYC system plus front and rear wheel torque split optimisation. In 4WD LOCK, the system increases the wheel speed differential limiting force and the front/ rear torque transfer response to improve traction. All automatically and instantly managed by the S-AWC system.
Emergency Braking: On the threshold of brake lock-up, regenerative braking torque and front/rear torque split is used to ensure maximum braking and stability. 4WD LOCK The driver can engage 4WD lock function by pressing the 4WD LOCK button located in the centre console. In this mode, the drivetrain system optimises traction with rapid responses to wheel spin by managing torque distribution on low grip surfaces.

PS is there a chance that links to all these documents we find can be pinned (high up) in the Tech Discussions area or even have a separate heading for 'Useful Documents'.
