To shift fromToProcedureVehicles with M/TVehicles with A/T4L4Htion, a gear noise may be generated, with a possible
failure to shift into a proper gear.NOTEz Shifting of setting of the drive mode-selector
between “2H”
Y “4H” should only be doneat speeds below 100 km/h (62 mph).
z Vehicles with 4N14 engine, when you want
the vehicle speeds to exceed speeds of
110km/h (68 mph), set the drive mode-selec- tor to “2H”.
z During driving, never attempt to shift from
“4H” to “4L”.
z When shifting from “2H” to “4H” in cold
weather while the vehicle is in motion, the
transfer gear may make some noise. In cold
weather, try to shift the gear while the vehi- cle is stopped.
z When shifting between “4H” and “4L”, the
transfer gear may make some noise.
z When the drive mode-selector is set between
“2H”
Y “4H” while the vehicle is stopped,
the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp/
display blinks while the selection is in proc- ess.
Drive slowly and normally after confirming that the lamp/display is illuminated. Refer to
“Indication lamp/display” on page 6-41.
z When the drive mode-selector is set between
“2H”
Y “4H” while the cruise control is ac-
tivated, the transfer gear may make some noise.NOTEz When the drive mode-selector is set be-
tween“4H”
Y “4L” in cold weather, its se-lection may not complete. Return the drive mode-selector to its previous position. After
the engine is warmed up, make the range se- lection again.CAUT,ONz Do not operate the drive mode-selector
while the rear wheels of the vehicle are slip-
ping on snow or ice.Indication lamp/display
Vehicles equipped with the mono-colour liq-
uid crystal display, refer to “2WD/4WD oper-
ation indication lamp and low-range indica-
tion lamp” on page 6-41.
Vehicles equipped with the colour liquid
crystal display, refer to “Drive mode indica- tor display and 2WD/4WD operation indica- tor display” on page 6-43.

tion lamp and low-range indi-cation lamp
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” posi- tion, the 2WD/4WD operation indication
lamp (1) and the low-range indication lamp (2) shows the shifting condition. The
2WD/4WD operation indication lamp comes on at each drive mode-selector position asfollows:

Y 4H, the 2WD/4WD operation indica-tion lamp blinks while the selection is in
process. Take the following precautions when the indication lamp is blinking.NOTE

NOTEzThe 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp
will blink during shifting process from “4H”to “4L” or vice versa, as the transfer passes
through the neutral position.
Be sure to operate the drive mode-selector
until the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp illuminates again.
z When parking, apply the parking brake be-
fore stopping the engine and make sure that the 2WD/4WD operation indicator is notblinking during shifting process between
“4H”
Y “4L”. Otherwise, the vehicle could unexpectedly move.
z If, after a “4H”
Y “4L” selection has been
made, the 2WD/4WD operation indicator continues blinking and the desired range isnot actually selected, return the drive mode selector to its previous position. Place the steering wheel in the straight ahead position,
drive the vehicle forward, and release the ac-
celerator pedal. Next, hold down the clutch pedal and make the range selection again.
z If the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp
blinks when you attempt to make a “4H”
Y “4L” selection, a “4H”
Y “4L” selection
cannot be made. Stop the vehicle and release
the accelerator pedal. Next, hold down the clutch pedal and make the range selectionagain.NOTEz The Active Stability Control function is sus-
pended while “4L” is selected. The indi-
cation lamp illuminates while these func- tions are suspended. It does not indicate a
problem. When “2H” or “4H” is selected,
this lamp goes out and function again. Refer to “ASTC indication lamp, ASTC OFF indi- cation lamp” on page 6-78.CAUT,ONz If a problem is detected in the transfer sys-
tem, a safety device will activate. The 2WD/4WD operation indicator blinks (twiceper second), and transfer shifting will be-
come impossible. Park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine for a few moments.
Restart the engine. The lamp should resume normal operation. If the lamps continue to
blink, have the vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.Drive mode indicator display

z If the selector lever is shifted from the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position to the other position
or release the brake pedal during shifting process between “4H

will be stopped (A/T).NOTEz If the clutch pedal is released during shifting
process between “4H

lamp is illuminated while these functions are suspended. It does not indicate a problem.
When “2H” or “4H” is selected, this lamp goes out and function again. Refer to “ASTCindication lamp or ASTC OFF indication
lamp” on page 6-78.
z Vehicles with 4N14 engine, when the vehi-
cle speeds near to 110 km/h (68 mph) while
the drive mode-selector is set “4H”, the warning display will appear.
When you want the vehicle speeds to exceed speeds of 110 km/h (68 mph), set the drive modeselector to “2H”.
CAUT,ONz If the warning display is displayed on the in-
formation screen in the multi information
display, a problem has occurred with the
Easy Select 4WD and the safety device has activated. If this happens, please contact
your nearest MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point for inspection as soon
as possible.

CAUT,ONzThe “4LLc” range gives maximum torque
for low-speed driving on steep slopes, as
well as sandy, muddy, and other difficult sur-
faces.
Vehicles with 4N14 engine, do not exceed speeds of approximately 50 km/h (30 mph)
in the “4LLc” range.
Vehicles with an 4N15 engine and A/T, do
not exceed speeds of approximately 70 km/h
(43 mph) in the “4LLc” range.
z Vehicles with 4N14 engine, do not exceed
speeds of approximately 110 km/h (68 mph)
in the “4HLc” range.CAUT,ONz Do not drive your vehicle in the “4HLc” or
“4LLc” position on dry paved roads and highways. Doing so may result in excessivetyre wear, increased fuel consumption, andpossible noise generation. It may also in-
crease the differential oil temperature, which
may damage the drive system. Further, the drive train will be subjected to excessive
loading, resulting in oil leakage, component seizure, or other serious problems. On dry
paved roads and highways, drive the vehicle
in “2H” or “4H” only.Drive mode-selector operation
