NOTEIf 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.
Anti-lock braking system
N00517900295
The anti-lock braking system helps prevent the wheels from
locking up when braking. This helps maintain vehicle drivabil-
ity and steering wheel handling.Driving hints Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of
you. Even if your vehicle is equipped with the anti-lock
braking system, leave a greater braking distance when:
• Driving on gravel or snow-covered roads.
• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted to
situations where brakes are applied suddenly. This system
may also prevent the wheels from locking when you drive
over manholes, steel roadwork plates, road markings, or
any uneven road surface.
When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel
the brake pedal pulsation and the vibrations of the vehicle
body and steering wheel. It may also feel as if the pedal
resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down
firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in
reduced braking performance.
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.

3Limited-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.NOTEEven 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.NOTEWhen 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.

while you are driving.
Driving range displayShows the approximate driving range (how many more miles
or kilometers you can drive). When this driving range falls
below 30 miles (50 km), “---” is displayed.
Refuel as soon as possible.NOTEThe driving range is determined based on the fuel con-
sumption data. This may vary depending on the driving
conditions and habits. Treat the distance displayed as just
a rough guideline.
When you refuel, the driving range display is updated.
However, if you only add a small amount of fuel, the cor-
rect value will not be displayed. Fill to a full tank when-
ever possible.
When your vehicle is stopped on an extremely steep hill,
the driving range value may, change. This is due to the
movement of fuel in the tank and does not indicate any
breakdown.
The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
(miles or km).
Refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-174.
CAUTION
!If the engine is overheating, “ ” will blink. In this
case, the bar graph is on the red zone. Immediately
park the vehicle in a safe place and take the required
measures. Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 6-
