While the drive mode is in the “4WD AUTO”
ON, the drive mode will be changed to “4WDECO” mode.If the ECO mode switch is switched OFF, thedrive mode will be returned to “4WD AUTO”Refer to the “ECO mode switch” on page5-218.
N00541301088
S-AWC is an integr
ated vehicle dynamics
control system that helps enhance drivingperformance, cornering performance, andvehicle stability over a wide range of drivingconditions through integr
ated management of
the electronically cont
rolled 4WD, the AYC
(Active Yaw Control), the ABS and the ASC.
The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys-tem that improves acceleration performanceand stability performance by controllingfront-rear distribution of driving torque withoperating the electronic control couplingarranged in the rear differential assembly.The AYC is a system, with a left-right differ-ential limiting function 
and yaw control func-
tion, that controls the left-rightdriving/braking force by managing the AFD*(Active Front Differential), the brake, theEPS.*: AFD (Active Front Differential)
If the drive mode indicator (4WD) is blink-ing, a problem has occurred with the elec-tronically controlled 
4WD. A warning will
also be displayed in 
the information screen
in the multi information display.Warning display (color
 liquid crystal dis-
play)Have your vehicle in
spected by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.For vehicles equipped with mono-color liq-uid crystal display mete
r, drive mode indica-
tor (“4WD-E”, “LOCK”) 
is blinking at the
same time.Make sure that all four tires are the samespecified size, type, a
nd brand, and have no
significant difference 
in the amount of wear.
Otherwise, the elec
tronically controlled
4WD system may not work properly, and the4WD system warning (overheating or ser-vice required) may displayed.
When the ECO mode switch is ON
 CAUTION
NOTE
If the drive mode is switched in any modeafter the drive mode is switched in “4WDECO”, the drive mode 
will not be changed
even if the ECO mode switch is switchedOFF.
S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control)
 (if so equipped)
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 andcannot help you to main
tain 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.

N00581500027
There are two ways to increase the set speed.The set speed will increase by 1 mph (1km/h) every time you push up the “RES +”switch while the ACC is activated. If youhold the switch pushed up, the set speedincreases in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments.
When the accelerator 
pedal is depressed
while driving with the ACC control working,you can accelerate the vehicle beyond thepresently set speed.When the vehicle speed reaches your desiredspeed, push down and release the “SET -”
a winding road.
Never use the ACC in the following situa-tions:• In heavy traffic.• On winding roads.• On slippery roads, such as icy, snow-cov-ered or dirt roads.• In adverse weather conditions, such asrain, snow or sand storms, etc.• On steep downslopes.• When the inclination of a road fre-quently changes.• When the approach alarm frequentlysounds.• When your vehicle is towed or is towinganother vehicle.• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna-mometer or free rollers.• When tire inflation pressures are notadequate.• When the temporary sp
are tire is being
used.• When the radar sensor and/or its sur-rounding area are damaged or deformed.WA R N I N G
CAUTIONTo maintain proper performance of the ACC:• Always clean the surface of the radar sen-sor.• Avoid impacting the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.• Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor orits surrounding area.• Do not paint the radar sensor.• Do not install a grill guard.• Do not modify the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.• Always use tires of the same size, sametype, and same brand, and which have nosignificant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.
To increase the set speed
 
By using the “RES +” switch:
 
NOTE
There is some time 
lag until the vehicle
begins accelerating to 
the new set speed after
the set speed has been changed.The set speed can be changed even whileyour vehicle is followi
ng a vehicle in front
using the ACC. In this case, however,although the set speed itself is increased,your vehicle will 
not accelerate. 
When the switch is held, a buzzer will soundevery time the set speed changes

Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (with Lane Change Assist) (if so equipped)
5-126 Features and controls
5
N00592200040
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving
aid system that alerts the driver when another
vehicle which may not be visible through the
outside rearview mirror is traveling in the
next lane behind your vehicle.
When a vehicle in the next lane is traveling at
same speed or faster in the detection areas,
the Blind Spot Warning light in the corre-
sponding outside rearview mirror will illumi-
nate. If the turn signal lever is operated to the
side where the Blind Spot Warning light is
illuminated, the Blind Spot Warning light will
blink and the system will beep three times to
alert the driver.
• Do not put anything including a sticker or
film to the outer side of the windshield in
front of or surrounding area of the sensor.
Also, do not put anything including a
sticker or film to the inner side of the wind-
shield under the sensor.• Do not attempt to deta ch or disassemble the
sensor.• If the windshield is misted, remove the mist from the windshield by  using the defogger
switch.• Maintain the wiper blades in good condi- tion. Refer to “Wiper blades” on page 9-44.
When replacing the wiper blades, use only
Mitsubishi Motors Genuine parts or equiva-
lent.• Do not dirty or damage the sensor.• Do not spray glass cleaner on the sensor.Also, do not spill liquid, such as a bever-
age, to the sensor.• Do not install an elec tronic device, such as
antenna, or a device that emits strong elec-
tric waves, near the sensor.CAUTION
• Always use tires of the same size, same
type and same brand,  and which have no
significant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspensions. If the windshield on the sensor or in the sur-
rounding area of the sensor is cracked or
scratched, the sensor  may not detect an
object properly. This  could cause a serious
accident. Turn off the FCM and have your
vehicle inspected as soon as possible at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
If you need to replace the windshield, con-
tact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. The sensor emits infrared rays when the
operation mode is in  ON. Do not look into
the sensor by using optical goods such as a
magnifying glass. The infrared ray might
injure your eyes.Laser radar specifications

Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (with Lane Change Assist) (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-127

Depending on the relative speed betweenyour vehicle and a vehi
cle in the next lane,
the Blind Spot Warning system will detect upto approximately 230 feet (70 m) from yourvehicle. (Lane Change Assist)
N00592300041
The BSW uses two sensors (A) located insidethe rear bumper.The detection areas are shown as illustrated.
WA R N I N GBefore using the BSW, read this entire sec-tion to fully understand the limitations ofthis system. Failure to follow instructionscould result in an accident.Never rely solely on the BSW system whenchanging lanes. BSW is an aid only. It isnot a substitute for your safe and carefuldriving. Always check 
visually behind and
all around your vehicl
e for other vehicles.
The performance of
 the BSW may vary
depending on driving,
 traffic and/or road
conditions.
Detection areas
 
WA R N I N GIn certain situations, the BSW may notdetect a vehicle in the detection areas orthe detection may be delayed. Some ofthese include;• When a small motorcycle or a bicycle isbehind your vehicle.• When a vehicle is tr
aveling alongside of
your vehicle at nearly the same speed forprolonged periods of time.

oncoming vehicle is splashing water,snow or dirt.• When driving on a curve including thebeginning and the end of the curve.• When driving on a r
oad with alternating
up and down steep slopes.• When driving on a bumpy or rough road.• When the rear of your vehicle is weigheddown or your vehicl

right or left due to the weight of passen-gers and luggage or th
e improper adjust-
ment of tire pressure. • When the bumper surface around theradar sensor is covered with dirt, snowand ice, etc.WA R N I N G
• When the sensor is extremely hot or cold(while the vehicle is parked for a longperiod of time unde
