engage the parking brake, and then move the gearshift lever to
the “P” (PARK) position.
What to do if the following occur with the Twin Clutch
SST
N00541200077
If there is a malfunction in the Twin Clutch SST or engine elec-
tronic control module, the following may occur.

Twin Clutch SST does not shift.


Vehicle cannot move.


Twin Clutch SST acceleration is slow.


Vehicle does not creep.


“Shift shock” is large.


Shifting occurs at higher engine speed.


Response is slow.
If any of these occurs, perform the following procedure.
When warning display is showing
The temperature of Twin Clutch SST fluid is high.
Refer to “Warning display” on page 3-98 and follow the appro-
priate measures.
When the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) comes on or
blinking
There could be a malfunction in the engine electronic control
module.

S-AWC warning display
N00542600049
When there is a malfunction in the system, the warning dis-
play will appear on the information screen in the multi-infor-
mation display.
In addition, the S-AWC control mode display in section A will
go out at the same time.
NOTE

If the ambient temperature drops and the viscosity of the
AWC control fluid increases, the warning may be dis-
played.
At this time, S-AWC control is temporarily suspended,
but this will not affect normal driving.
After the vehicle is driven for a while, if the engine is
restarted after the AWC control fluid warms up or the
ambient temperature increases, the S-AWC control will
start operating again if the warning display goes out.
WA R N I N G
!

Always concentrate on your driving first. Keep your
eyes and mind on the road. Distractions while driv-
ing can lead to an accident.
CAUTION
!

The system may be malfunctioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the warn-
ing display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” go out.
If the warning display and “SERVICE
REQUIRED” go out, there is no abnormal condi-
tion. If the warning display and “SERVICE
REQUIRED” do not go out or appear frequently, it
is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but
we recommend that you have your vehicle inspected.

3 Limited-slip differential
N00517400014
A limited-slip differential is applied for front wheel differen-
tial. The features of this limited-slip differential are described
below:
Just as with a conventional differential, the wheel on one side
is allowed to turn at a different speed from the wheel on the
other side when the vehicle is cornering. The difference
between the limited-slip differential and a conventional differ-
ential is that if the wheel on one side of the vehicle loses trac-
tion, a greater amount of torque is applied to the wheel on the
other side to improve traction.NOTE

Even if there is a difference in the amount of traction the
wheels can get, if both of them are spinning, the limited-
slip differential will not be effective.
Service brake
N00517500291
Brake pedalOveruse of the brake can cause poor brake response and pre-
mature wear of the brake pads.
When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by
downshifting.
CAUTION
!

Never start the engine while one of the front or rear
wheels is jacked up and the other in contact with the
ground; doing so may cause the vehicle to jump for-
ward.


Continuously attempting to extract the vehicle from
snow, mud, etc. while using high engine rpm may
damage the limited-slip differential.


Using a compact spare wheel will adversely affect
the limited-slip differential; replace the compact
spare wheel with a standard size wheel as soon as
possible.
WA R N I N G
!

Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let
a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the
full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emer-
gency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated
freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is
securely held in place.CAUTION
!

It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot
resting on the brake pedal when braking is not
required. This practice can result in very high brake
temperatures, premature pad wear, and possible
damage to the brakes.

Power brakes
N00517600380
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking
force with minimal brake pedal effort.
Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the
power assist is lost.
If the power assist is lost, the effort needed to press the brake
pedal is greater.
If you lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will
still work.
If the power brake unit or either of the two brake hydraulic sys-
tems stops working properly, the rest of the brake system will
still work, but the vehicle will not slow down as quickly.
You will know this has happened if you find you need to
depress the brake pedal down further, or harder when slowing
down or stopping, or if the brake warning light and the warning
display in the multi-information display come on.
Brake pad wear alarm
N00532500117
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes a metallic squeal
when the brake pads have worn down enough to need service.
If you hear this sound continuously, have the brake pads
inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice.NOTE

When the brakes are applied, a faint noise may be heard,
but this is a characteristic of high-performance brakes; it
does not indicate a problem.
WA R N I N G
!

Never coast downhill with the engine OFF. Keep the
engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion.
If you turn off the engine while driving, the power
brake booster will stop working and your brakes
will not work as well.


If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic
system stops working properly, take your vehicle to
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice immediately.
WA R N I N G
!

Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to
stop, and can cause an accident.
