CAUTIONlDo 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, and
possible 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

To shift fromToProcedureVehicles with manual transmissionVehicles with automatic transmission4LLc4HLcgear noise may be generated, with a possible failure to
shift into a proper gear.NOTEl Setting of the drive mode-selector between
“2H”, “4H” and “4HLc” should only bedone at speeds below 100 km/h (62 mph).
l During driving, never attempt to shift from
“4HLc” to “4LLc”.
l When shifting between “2H”, “4H” and
“4HLc” in cold weather while the vehicle is
in motion, the transfer gear may make some noise. In cold weather, try to shift the gearwhile the vehicle is stopped.
l When shifting between “4LLc” and “4HLc”,
the transfer gear may make some noise.
l When the drive mode-selector is set between
“2H”, “4H” and “4HLc” while the vehicle is
stopped, the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp blinks while the selection is in process. Drive slowly and normally after confirmingthat the lamp is illuminated. (Refer to “2WD/4WD operation indication lamp and
low-range indication lamp” on page 6-42.)
l When the drive mode-selector is set between
“2H”, “4H” and “4HLc” while the cruise
control is activated, the transfer gear may

the engine is warmed up, make the range se-
lection again.CAUTIONl Do not operate the drive mode-selector
while the rear wheels of the vehicle are slip-
ping on snow or ice.2WD/4WD operation indica-

NOTElWhen the drive mode-selector is set between
“2H”, “4H” and “4HLc”, the front wheel
and/or centre differential lock lamps blink
while the selection is in process. Take the following precautions when the indicationlamp is blinking.
• Keep the steering wheel in the straight
ahead position while making range selec- tions. If you attempt to drive forward with
the steering wheel turned, gear rattling or
shock may occur, cornering may not be smooth and the desired range may not ac-tually be selected.
• When the drive mode-selector is set be-
tween “2H”, “4H” and “4HLc”, while the
vehicle is stopped, the front wheel and/or centre differential lock lamps blink whilethe selection is in process. Drive slowly and normally after confirming that the
lamp is switched.
• If the front wheel and/or centre differen-
tial lock lamps blinking after a “2H” ↔ “4H” ↔ “4HLc” selection has been made
with the vehicle moving, hold the steering wheel in the straight ahead position andslowly depress the accelerator pedal sev-
eral times.
l The front and the rear wheel lamps will
blink during shifting process from “4HLc” to “4LLc” or vice versa, as the transfer pass-
es through the neutral position. Be sure to
operate the drive mode-selector until the
front and the rear wheel lamps illuminate
again.NOTEl When parking, apply the parking brake be-
fore stopping the engine and make sure that the front and the rear wheel lamps and the low range lamp are not blinking during shift-ing process between “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc”.
Otherwise, the vehicle could unexpectedly move even if the automatic transmission is
in the “P” (PARK) position.
l If, after a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selection has
been made, front and the rear wheel lamps continue 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 (with manual transmission) or place
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position (with automatic transmission) and make the range selection again.
l If the low range lamp blinks when you at-
tempt to make a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selec-
tion, a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selection cannot
be made. Stop the vehicle and release the ac- celerator pedal. Next, hold down the clutch pedal (with manual transmission) or placethe selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position (with automatic transmission) and make the range selection again.NOTEl The Active Stability Control function is sus-
pended while “4LLc” is selected. The in-
dication lamp illuminates while these func- tions are suspended. It does not indicate a
problem. When “2H” or “4H” or “4HLc” is selected, this lamp goes out and functionagain. Refer to “ASTC indication lamp,
ASTC OFF indication lamp” on page 6-61.CAUTIONl If a problem is detected in the transfer sys-
tem, a safety device will activate. The front and rear wheel lamps will go out, the centre
differential lock lamp will blink rapidly (twice per second), and transfer shifting will
become impossible. Park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine for a few mo-
ments. Restart the engine. The lamp should resume normal operation. If the lamps con-tinue to blink, have the vehicle checked by aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.

Rear differential lock*E00606201369
If one wheel starts to spin freely and the vehi-
cle becomes stuck and cannot be freed even using 4-wheel drive, the rear differential lock switch (A) can be used to activate the reardifferential lock for extra traction.
Operating the rear differential
lock
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Move the drive mode-selector to “4L” or
“4H” position (Easy Select 4WD), “4LLc” or “4HLc” position (Super Se-
lect 4WD II).
3. To activate the rear differential lock,
press the rear differential lock switch
(1).
4. To deactivate the rear differential lock,
press the rear differential lock switch
(2).CAUTIONl Operate the rear differential switch after the
wheels are stopped. Operating the switch with the wheels turning may cause the vehi-
cle to dart in unexpected directions.NOTEl The rear differential lock does not operate
when the drive mode-selector is in “2H” po-
sition (Easy Select 4WD), “2H” or “4H” po- sition (Super Select 4WD II).NOTEl When the rear differential is locked with the
drive mode-selector in “4L” or “4H” posi-
tion (Easy Select 4WD), “4LLc” or “4HLc”
position (Super Select 4WD II) changing the drive mode-selector to “2H” position (EasySelect 4WD), “2H” or “4H” position (Super

l If the indication lamp continues blinking af-
ter the switch has been pressed to deactivate
the rear differential lock, hold the steering
wheel in the straight ahead position then slowly depress and release the accelerator
pedal several times.
l If the indication lamp continues blinking af-
ter the switch has been pressed to activate the rear differential lock, bear in mind thefollowing instructions:
• If the vehicle speed is 12 km/h or higher,
decelerate to a speed of 2.5 km/h or low- er. The indication lamp will illuminate
steadily and the rear differential lock will be activated.

NOTE•If the vehicle speed is 12 km/h or lower,
turn the steering wheel from side to side
until the indication lamp illuminates
steadily. If the vehicle is stuck in soft ground, make sure the area around the ve-
hicle is clear then repeatedly attempt to drive forward and backward. The indica-
tion lamp will illuminate steadily and the rear differential lock will be activated.CAUTIONl If a problem is detected in the rear differen-

and the rear differential lock will deactivate. Park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the
engine for a few moments. Restart the en- gine. It is safe to continue driving if the lamps resume normal operation. If the rear differential lock indication lamp blinks whenthe rear differential lock is reactivated, have
the vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI
