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.

The Differential assembly that limits the frontleft-right differential 
speed by operating elec-
tronic control clutch arranged in the transferassembly.The left-right differen
tial limiting function is
a function that enhanc
es driving performance
and vehicle stability by preventing idle spin-ning of a wheel when driving on slipperyroad or when the road surfaces of left andright wheels are different.The yaw control function is a function thatenhances vehicle corn
ering performance and
vehicle stability with 
management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controllingthe drive power difference of the left andright wheels and the braking force when thevehicle does not turn 
in response to steering
input, such as when the steering wheel isturned quickly or when driving on slipperyroad.

Your vehicle has been designed primarily foruse on pavement.But its unique 4 -wheel
 drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads,to campgrounds, picnic 
sites, and similar
locations.Not only does this ensu
re better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud.But it is not suitable for heavy off road use ortowing in rough conditions.It is particularly im
portant to note that 4-
wheel drive may not gi
ve sufficient hill
climbing ability and e
ngine braking on steep
slopes. You should try to avoid driving onsteep slopes.Also, you must exercise caution when drivingon sand and mud and when driving throughwater because sufficient traction may not beavailable in certain circumstances.Please avoid driving the vehicle through areaswhere the tires may get stuck in deep sand ormud.

When turning a sharp corner in “4WDLOCK” (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 brakingand results from each of the four tires being ata 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 “4WDAUTO”, “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 GDo 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 inthe owner’s manual.• Keep your speed low and do not drivefaster than conditions.NOTE
Driving on rough roads can be hard on avehicle. 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 theoperator for any damage or injury caused orliability incurred by improper and negligentoperation of a vehicl
e. All techniques of
vehicle operation depend on the skill andexperience 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 ofthe 4-wheel drive vehicl
e differs very little
from that of the front-wheel drive vehicle.When driving on a snow-covered road or aslippery, 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 easysteering and pedal operati
on. Be sure to wear
the seat belt.After driving on rough roads, check eachpart of the vehicle and wash it thoroughlywith water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera-tion” section and “Vehic
le care and Mainte-
nance” sections.CAUTIONSetting the drive mode-selector to “4WDLOCK” (Electronically
 controlled 4WD) or
“LOCK” (S-AWC) position to drive on drypaved 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).CAUTIONAvoid sudden braking,
 sudden acceleration
and sharp turning. Sk
idding occurs and con-
trol of the vehicle could be lost.

N00517500275
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 brakesfor more braking force with less brake pedaleffort.Your brakes are designed to operate at fullcapacity, even if the power assist is not beingused.If the power assist is not being used, the effortneeded 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 twobrake hydraulic systems stops working prop-erly, the rest of the brake system will stillwork, but the vehicle will not slow down asquickly.You will know this has happened if you findyou need to press the brake down farther, orharder when slowing down or stopping, or ifthe brake warning light and the warning dis-play in the multi-information display comeon.
To w i n g  
CAUTIONDo not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with thefront or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor 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 towedwith the front or the rear wheels on theground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle 
WA R N I N GDo not crank the engine while jacking upthe vehicle.The tire on the ground may turn and thevehicle may roll off the jack.
Service brake Brake pedal 
WA R N I N GDo not leave any objects near the brakepedal or let a floor mat slide under it;doing so could prevent the full pedalstroke that would be necessary in anemergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe operated freely at all times. Make surethe floor mat is securely held in place.
CAUTIONIt is important not to drive the vehicle withyour 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.
