However, if the vehicle does not move or accelerate normally, or if this problem occurs repeatedly, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice as soon as possi- ble.
N00516400020
All-wheel drive vehicles are propelled by engine power distributed constantly andappropriately to all four wheels. Not only does this ensure enhanced handling on dry, paved roads but also permits better traction when driving on slippery, wet orsnow-covered roads a
nd when moving out of
mud. These vehicles, however, are not designedfor off-road use, and are unsuitable for driving on bumpy ground that may cause excessive strain.
All-wheel drive vehicles
should be driven only under the same condi-
tions as are suitable for ordinary front-wheel drive vehicles.
N00530800174
Since driving torque can be applied to all fourwheels, the performance of the vehicle whenoperating in all-wheel drive is greatly affected by the condition of the tires. Pay close attention to the tires. Install specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-5. Be sure to fit all four tires and wheels of the same size and type. When replacement of any of the tires orwheels is necessary, replace all of them.  All tires should be rotated whenever the wear difference between the front and reartires is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a difference in wear between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” onpage 9-18.  Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
CAUTIONWhen the Twin Clutch SST fluid tempera- ture is high, the engine idle speed when the vehicle is stopped may increase or the vehi- cle will have a weak tendency to creep.After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid tem- perature rises even higher, the warning display will appear.
All-wheel drive system
Cautions on handling of all- wheel drive vehicles Tires and wheels
CAUTION Always use tires of the same size, same type, and same brand, and which have no wear dif- ferences. Using tires that differ in size, type, brands or the degree of wear, will increase the differential oil temperature, resulting inpossible damage to the driving system. Fur- ther, the drive train will be subjected to excessive loading, possibly leading to oilleakage, component seizure, or other serious problems.

S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control)
Features and controls 5-71
5
N00541300036
S-AWC is an integrated vehicle dynamics control system that helps enhance drivingperformance, cornering performance, and vehicle stability over a wide range of driving conditions through integrated management ofthe ACD, the AYC, the anti-lock braking sys- tem, and the active stability control (ASC).
Please read this section in conjunction with the following sections. ACD (Active center differential system)

P.5-71AYC (Active yaw control system)
 P.5-71
Anti-lock braking system
 P.5-74
Active stability control (ASC)
 P.5-76
N00541400011
The ACD is a system
that improves accelera-
tion performance and straight-ahead stabilityby regulating the differential limiting action
and power drive distribution of the center dif- ferential.
N00541500012
The AYC is a system, with a left-right differ-ential limiting function and yaw control func-tion, that enhances cornering performance and stability during cornering by controlling the left-right drive power difference of therear wheels, the braking force of all four wheels, and the vehicle yaw moment.
CAUTION Do not tow all-wheel dr
ive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type A or Type B) as illustrated. This could result in damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing. If you tow all-wheel drive vehicles, use TypeC or Type D equipment.
Jacking up all-wheel drive vehi- cles
WA R N I N G Do not start or run the engine while the vehicle is on the jack. The jack could slip out of position andresult in an accident.
S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S- AWC cannot prevent the natural laws ofphysics from acting on the vehicle. This sys- tem, like any other system, has limits and cannot help you to maintain traction and con-trol of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reck- less driving can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully.This means taking into account the traffic, road and environmental conditions. Be sure to use tires that are the same speci- fied size, type, and brand, and have no differ- ence in the amount of wear for all fourwheels. Otherwise,
the S-AWC may not
work properly.
ACD (Active center differential system)
NOTE
 If the parking brake lever is pulled up while the vehicle is moving, the center differential is designed to switch to a free state conditionwhich will allow the rear wheel to lock eas- ier.
AYC (Active yaw control sys- tem)
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.

Anti-lock braking system 5-74 Features and controls
5
N00517900295
The anti-lock braking system helps prevent the wheels from locking up when braking.This helps maintain vehicle drivability and steering wheel handling.  Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi-cle 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 mayalso prevent the wheels from locking when you drive over manholes, steel roadwork plates, road markings, or anyuneven road surface.  When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel the brake pedal pulsa-tion 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. An operation noise is emitted from the engine compartment or feel a shock from the brake pedal when start driving imme-diately after starting the engine. These are normal sound or operation that the anti- lock braking system makes when per-forming a self-check. It does not indicatea malfunction.  The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle has reached a speed overapproximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stops working when the vehicle slows below approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
CAUTION The system may be malfunctioning. Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine. Restart the engine and check whether the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” go out. If the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” go out, there is no abnormal condition. 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 recommendthat you have your vehicle inspected.NOTE
 If the ambient temperature drops and the vis- cosity of the AWC control fluid increases,the warning may be displayed. At this time, S-AWC control is temporarily suspended, but this will not affect normaldriving. After the vehicle is driven for a while, if the engine is restarted after the AWC controlfluid warms up or the ambient temperature increases, the S-AWC control will start oper- ating again if the warning display goes out.
Anti-lock braking system Driving hints
CAUTION The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your responsibility to take safety precautions and to drive carefully.  To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system, be sure all 4 wheels and tires are thesame size and the same type. Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The anti- lock braking system may stop functioningproperly.

N00559200021
On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the dr
ive wheels from spin-
ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle to start moving from a stopped condition. It also provides sufficient driving force and steeringperformance as the vehicle turns while press- ing the acceleration pedal.
N00546800010
The skid control function is designed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle onslippery roads or during rapid steering
maneuvers. It works by controlling the engine output and the brake on each wheel.
N00559400209
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the ASC automatically turns ON. If the ASC OFF switch is pressed to turn OFF the ASC, the display in the meter comes on. Press the switch again to turn ON the ASC.
 When the ASC is activated, you may feel a vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin- ing sound from the engine compartment. This indicates that the system is operating normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.  When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.
Traction control function
CAUTION When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy road, be sure to install snow tires and drivethe vehicle at moderate speeds.

NOTE
 The skid control function operates at speeds of about 9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.
ASC OFF switch
CAUTION For safety reasons, press the ASC OFF switch when the vehicle is stopped.
 Be sure to turn ON the ASC for normal driv- ing.NOTE
 When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not allow the engine speed to increase. In such situations, temporarily turning off the ASCwith the “ASC OFF” switch will make it eas- ier to move out your vehicle.  By pressing the ASC OFF switch, both the skid control function and the traction control function are turned OFF.  By pressing down the “ASC OFF” switch for 3 seconds or longer, you can deactivate theASC and the braking control of the AYC. At this time, the display will appear for a few seconds. Then, the previous screen will return and the “!” mark will come on. Press the ASC OFF switch again to turn ONthe ASC.CAUTION
