When turning a sharp corner in “4WD LOCK” (Electronically
controlled 4WD) or
“LOCK” (S-AWC) position at low speed, a
slight difference in
steering may be experi-
enced similar to feeling as if the brakes wereapplied. This is called tight corner braking and results from each of the four tires being at a different distance from the corner. The phe-nomenon is typical of 4-wheel drive vehicles. If this occurs, either straighten out the steer- ing wheel or change to another mode. Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD AUTO”, “4WD LOCK” (Electronically con- trolled 4WD) or “SNOW” (S-AWC) in accor- dance with the road conditions, and thengradually depress the ac
celerator pedal for a
smooth start.
WA R N I N G Do not over-rely on th
e 4-wheel drive vehi-
cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim-its to the system and ability to maintaincontrol and traction.
Reckless driving may
lead to accidents. Always drive carefully, taking account of the road conditions. Improperly operating
this vehicle on or
off-pavement can cause an accident orrollover in which you
and your passengers
could be seriously
injured or killed.
• Follow all instructions and guidelines in the owner’s manual.• Keep your speed low and do not drivefaster than conditions.NOTE
 Driving on rough roads can be hard on a vehicle. Before you le
ave the pavement, be
sure all scheduled ma
intenance and service
has been done, and that
you have inspected
your vehicle. Pay spec
ial attention to the
condition of the ti
res, and check the tire pres-
sures.  Mitsubishi Motors is not responsible to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and negligent operation of a vehicl
e. All techniques of
vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the opera
tor and other partici-
pating parties. Any de
viation from the rec-
ommended operating instru
ctions above is at
their own risk.
 Note that the stopping distance required of the 4-wheel drive vehicl
e differs very little
from that of the front-wheel drive vehicle.When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface,
make sure that you
keep a sufficient dist
ance between your vehi-
cle and the one ahead of you.  The driving posture should be more upright; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operati
on. Be sure to wear
the seat belt.  After driving on rough roads, check each part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughlywith water. Refer to the “Inspection and maintenance following rough road opera- tion” section and “Vehic
le care and Mainte-
nance” sections.CAUTION Setting the drive mode-selector to “4WD LOCK” (Electronically
controlled 4WD) or
“LOCK” (S-AWC) position to drive on dry paved road will increa
se fuel consumption,
with possible noise generation.
Turning sharp corners
NOTE
On snowy or icy roads
NOTE
 The use of snow tires is recommended.  Maintain a safe distan
ce between
vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak- ing (downshifting).CAUTION Avoid sudden braking,
sudden acceleration
and sharp turning. Sk
idding occurs and con-
trol of the vehicle could be lost.

After operating the vehicle in rough road con- ditions, be sure to perform the followinginspection and maintenance procedures:  Check that the vehicle has not been dam- aged by rocks, gravel, etc.  Carefully wash the
vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal in order to dryout the brakes. If the brakes still do not function properly, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice as
soon as possible to
have the brakes checked.  Remove the inse
cts, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.  After driving through water, check the engine, transaxle and
differential oil. If
the oil or grease is milky or cloudy because of water c
ontamination, it must
be replaced with new oil.  Check the inside of the vehicle. If water entry is found, dry the carpet etc. Inspect the headlights. If water is in the headlight housing, have
it drained at an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.

Since the driving torque can be applied to thefour wheels, the driving performance of the vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the condition of the tires.
Pay close attention to the tires.  Install only the specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” onpage 11-7.  Be sure all four tire
s and wheels are the
same size
and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of the tires or wheels, replace all four.  All tires should be rotated before the wear difference between the
front and rear tires
is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a difference in wear between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on page 9-20.  Check the tire inflati
on pressure regularly.
CAUTIONNever drive through water that is deep enough to cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaustpipe. Do not change th
e selector lever posi-
tion while driving through water. Frequent driving through water can adversely affect the life
span of the vehicle;
consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice and
take the necessary measures to prepare,inspect, and repair the vehicle. After driving through wa
ter, apply the brakes
to be sure they are functioning properly. If the brakes are wet and not functioning prop- erly, dry them out by
driving slowly while
lightly depressing the
brake pedal. Inspect
each part of the vehicle carefully.

Cautions on the handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles Tires and wheels
CAUTION Always use tires of th
e same size, type, and
brand that have no wear differences. Using tires of different size,
type, brands or degree
of wear, will increase the differential oil tem- perature and result in
possible damage to the
driving system. Further, the drive train willbe subject to excessi
ve loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other serious failures.

Overuse of the brake can cause weakening, resulting in poor brake response and prema- ture wear of the brake pads. When driving down a long or steep hill, useengine braking
by downshifting.
N00517600364
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking force with less brake pedal effort.Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power assist is not being used.If the power assist is not being used, the effort needed to press the brake pedal is greater. If you should lose the power assist for somereason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit or either of the two brake hydraulic systems stops working prop-erly, 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 press the brake down farther, or harder when slowing down or stopping, or ifthe brake warning light and the warning dis- play in the multi-information display come on.
To w i n g
CAUTION Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the front or rear wheels on the ground (Type A or Type B) as illustrate
d. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use TypeC or Type D equipment. Even in “4WD ECO” (Electronically con- trolled 4WD) or “AWC ECO” (S-AWC) drive mode, the vehicle cannot be towed with the front or the rear wheels on theground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WA R N I N G Do not crank the engine while jacking up the vehicle. The tire on the ground may turn and thevehicle may roll off the jack.
Service brake Brake pedal
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 emergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe 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 whenbraking is not required.
This practice can
result in very high brake temperatures, pre- mature lining wear, a
nd possible damage to
the brakes.
