N00401601277
Your vehicle has seat belts and other safety
features that help protect you and your pas-
sengers in an accident.
Seat belts are the most important safety
device. When worn properly, seat belts can
reduce the chance of serious injury or death
in various types of crashes. For added protec-
tion during a severe frontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen-
gers. The seats, head restraints, and door
locks also are safety equipment, which must
be used correctly.
Always check the following before you drive:  That everyone in your vehicle is properly
wearing their seat belt.
 That infants and small children are prop-
erly secured in an appropriate child
restraint system in the rear seat.
 That all doors are fully closed and locked.
 That seatbacks are upright, with head
restraints properly adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or
death in all motor vehicle accidents. How-
ever, you can help reduce the risk of injury or
death, by following the instructions in this
manual.
N00401801484
Position the driver’s seat  as far back as possi-
ble while maintaining a position that still
enables you to fully apply the pedals, easily
control the steering wheel and safely operate
the vehicle.
Seats and restraint systems 
WA R N I N G Do not place objects under the seats. The
objects could prevent the seat from lock-
ing securely, which could lead to an acci-
dent. The objects ma y also cause damage
to the seat or other parts.Front seats 
WA R N I N G Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in an accident.Manual seat adjustment Power seat adjustment
After adjusting the seat, make sure that it
is securely locked into position.To reduce the risk to the driver of serious
injury or death during deployment of the
driver’s airbag, always properly wear the
seat belt and adjust th e driver’s seat as far
back as possible while maintaining a posi-
tion that still enables  you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel,
and safely operate the vehicle. To reduce the risk to the front passenger
of serious injury or death during deploy-
ment of the passenger’s airbag, always
properly wear the seat belt and adjust the
front passenger’s seat as far back as possi-
ble.Always place children 12 years old and
under in the rear seat and use appropriate
child restraint systems.CAUTIONMake sure that the seat is adjusted by an
adult. If it is adjusted by a child, an unex-
pected accident might occur.Do not place a cushion or the like between
your back and the seatback while driving.
The effectiveness of the head restraints will
be reduced in the event of an accident.When sliding the seats, be careful not to
catch your hand or leg.WA R N I N G

3. If the engine still will not start, the engine could be flooded with too much gasoline. While depressing the brake pedal, push the accelerator pedal all the way downand hold it there, then press the engine switch to crank the engine. If the engine does not start after 5 to 6 seconds, pushthe engine switch to stop cranking the engine, and release the accelerator pedal. Put the operation mode in OFF. Wait afew seconds, and then press the engineswitch to crank the engine again while depressing the brake pedal, but do not push the accelerator pedal. If the enginefails to start, repeat these procedures. If the engine still will not start, contact your local Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice for assistance. 
Startability of the engine with an ambient temperature of -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30°C) or lower, it may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE)position. This phenomenon occurs because the trans- axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it doesnot indicate a problem. If this occurs, place the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the engine idle for at least 10 minutes. 
The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

1. Stop the vehicle.2. Fully engage the parking brake while depressing the brake pedal. 3. Move the selector lever to the “P”(PARK) position, and then press the engine switch to stop the engine.
N00568301113
The following operation can be used to start the engine or change the operation mode. 1. Depress the brake pe 
dal firmly with your 
right foot. 2. While depressing the brake pedal, touch the portion of the F.A.S.T.-key shown inthe illustration to the engine switch.
Stopping the engine
 
WA R N I N G Do not operate the engine switch while driving except in an emergency. If the engine is stopped while driving, the brake servomechanism will cease to function andbraking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering system will not func- tion and it will require greater manualeffort to operate the steering. This could result in a serious accident.NOTE
 If you have to bring the engine to an emer- gency stop while driving, press and hold the engine switch for 3 seconds or more, or press it quickly three times or more. The enginewill stop and the operation mode will go to ACC.
 Do not stop the engine with the selector lever in any position other than the “P” (PARK) position. If the engine is stopped with the selector lever in any position other than the “P” (PARK) position, the operation modewill go to ACC rather than OFF. Put the operation mode in OFF after placing the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) posi-tion.

S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control) (if so equipped) 5-68 Features and controls
5
The AYC is a system with a yaw control function, that controls the left-right driv-ing/braking force using the brakes. The yaw control function is a function that enhances vehicle cornering performance and vehicle stability with management of vehicle turning power (yaw moment) by controllingthe drive power difference of the left and right wheels and the braking force when the vehicle does not turn in response to steeringinput, such as when the steering wheel is turned quickly or when driving on slippery road.
N00542401099
Select the drive mode from the followingthree types to suit the driving conditions. 
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv- ing skills. Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation” section on page 5-70  
and take care to drive 
safety.
N00583000068
The drive mode can be switched by press theswitch while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position or the operation mode in ON. If you press the switch, you can change the drive mode in the order of AUTO, SNOW,GRAVEL, AUTO.
NOTE
 On vehicles equipped with lever type park- ing brake, if the parking brake lever is pulled up while the vehicle is moving, the front-rear distribution of driving torque control will be temporarily suspended, which will allow therear wheel to lock easier.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)

CAUTION Control of the braking force does not enhance the stopping performance of the vehicle, therefore, pay careful attention to the safety of your surroundings when driv- ing.
S-AWC drive mode
 
S-AWC  drive  mode
Function 
AUTO 
This mode can be used on both  dry and wet roads. The distri-bution of driving/braking  torque to each wheel is auto- matically controlled according to the driving condition. 
SNOW 
This mode is for driving on  slippery road surfaces, such as  snow-covered roads. 
GRAVEL 
This mode is for driving where  maximum traction is required. This mode is suitable for driv- ing on rough roads or driving  in mud, sand or fresh snow. 
S-AWC drive mode-selector
 
CAUTION Do not operate the drive mode-selector with the front wheels spinning on a snowy road or in similar conditions. The vehicle could lunge in an unexpected direction.

When turning a sharp corner in “GRAVEL” position at low speed, a slight difference in steering may be experienced similar to feel- ing as if the brakes were applied. This iscalled tight corner braking and results from each of the four tires being at a different dis- tance from the corner. The phenomenon istypical of 4-wheel drive vehicles. If this occurs, either straighten out the steering wheel or change to another mode. Set the drive mode-selector to “SNOW” in accordance with the road conditions, and thengradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. 
Set the drive mode-selector to “GRAVEL” and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure onthe accelerator pedal as constant as possible, and drive at low speed.
CAUTION Setting the drive mode-selector to “GRAVEL” and “SNOW” position to drive on dry paved road wi 
ll increase fuel con- 
sumption, with possible noise and vibration generation.
Turning sharp corners  On snowy or icy roads 
NOTE
 The use of snow tires is recommended.
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak- ing (downshifting).CAUTION Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turning. Skidding occurs and con- trol of the vehicle could be lost.
Driving on sandy or muddy  roads 
CAUTION Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly on sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor- mal road surfaces, the engine and other drive-system components are put underexcessive strain when driving on such a sur- face. This could lead to accidents. If any of the following conditions occur while the vehicle is being driven, immedi- ately park your vehicle in a safe place andfollow these procedures:NOTE
• If the engine coolant temperature display 
 flashes on the information screen in the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly.Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.• If the “ ” warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the “ ” warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-information display.Refer to “Warning display” on page 5-63.WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is clear of people andphysical objects. The rocking motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for- ward/backward, causing injury or dam-age to nearby people or objects.NOTE
 Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turning; such operations could result in the vehicle becoming stuck.CAUTION
