And although I can't imagine it causing permanent damage at such a low speed, it's very possible the diff really didn't enjoy the different front wheel circumferences. However I thought that would have manifested in crap handling or sounds that would revert back to normal when a regular wheel went back on the front. Still, might be a good time for an LSD...
Agreed on your point, I have seen some FWD vehicles that say it in the instructions and others that don't. My Focus doesn't say to put on the rear and it shouldn't be assumed that you should know that. For crying out loud, half the population can't even find the windscreen washer fluid cap...
Only conclusion I can think of is that the manufacturer believes that it's not at risk of hurting the car, but from a safety viewpoint it seems an oversight.
