S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control) (if so equipped) 5-86 Features and controls
5
The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys- tem that improves acceleration performance and stability performance by controlling front-rear distribution of
driving torque with
operating the electroni
c control coupling
arranged in the rear differential assembly. The AYC is a system with a yaw control function, that controls the left-right driv- ing/braking force using the brakes.
The yaw control function is a function that enhances vehicle cornering performance and vehicle stability with
management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controlling the drive power difference of the left and right wheels and the braking force when thevehicle does not turn in
response to steering
input, such as when the steering wheel is turned quickly or when driving on slippery road.
N00542401103
Select the drive mode from the following fourtypes to suit the driving conditions.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv- ing skills. Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation” section on page 5-88 and take care to drivesafety.
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 sy
stem, has limits and
cannot 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.

Function
AW C E C O
This is the most fuel efficient mode. Normal operation is in 2WD, but 4WD performance will be provided under slippery conditions.
NORMAL
This mode can be used on both dry and wet roads. The distri- bution of driving/braking torque to each wheel is auto-matically controlled according to the driving condition.
SNOW
This mode is for driving on slippery road surfaces, such as snow-covered roads.
GRAVEL
This mode is suitable mainly for driving on unpaved or rough roads.This mode provides 4WD high driving performance and stable cornering performance.

tion when driving on sl
ippery, wet or snow-
covered roads and when moving out of mud.But it is not suitable
for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions. It is particularly im
portant to note that 4-
wheel drive may not give sufficient hill climbing ability and engine braking on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driving onsteep slopes. Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud and when driving through water because sufficie
nt traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud.
When turning a sharp corner in “4WD LOCK” (Electronically controlled 4WD) or“GRAVEL” (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 then gradually 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 attenti
on to the
condition of the tires, a
nd 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 depe
nd on the skill and
experience of the oper
ator 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
“GRAVEL” (S-AWC) position to drive ondry paved road will in
crease fuel consump-
tion, with possible
noise generation.

Check the depth of the water and the terrain before attempting to drive through it. Driveslowly to avoid creating excessive water splashing.
N00530700085
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.
N00530801214
Since the driving torque can be applied to the four 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 wearbetween tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on page 9-22. Check the tire inflati
on pressure regularly.
CAUTIONNever drive through water that is deep enough to cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaust pipe. 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.

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, use engine braking by downshifting.
CAUTION Always use tires of th
e same size, type, and
brand that have no wear differences. Usingtires of different size, type, brands or degreeof 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.
To w i n g
CAUTION Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result indamage to the drivetra
in, or unstable towing.
If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type C 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 the ground.
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 the vehicle may roll off the jack.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any obje
cts near the brake
pedal or let a floor
mat slide under it;
doing so could prevent the full pedalstroke that would be necessary in an emergency. 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, pre-mature lining wear, a
nd possible damage to
the brakes.

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 some reason, 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 still work, but the vehicle will not slow down asquickly. You will know this ha
s happened if you find
you need to press the brake down farther, orharder when slowing down or stopping, or if the brake warning light and the warning dis- play in the multi-information display comeon.
N00550700124
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, have the brake pads replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
N00592000080
When the vehicle is st
opped at traffic lights
etc., the vehicle can be
held stationary with
the brake auto hold system even if yourelease your foot from the brake pedal. When the accelerator pedal is depressed, the brakes are released.
Power brakes
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 brakebooster will stop wo
rking 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 Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.
Brake pad wear alarm
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.
Brake auto hold
(if so equipped)
WA R N I N G
WA R N I N G Do not overly rely on the brake auto hold system. On steep slope, depress the brakepedal firmly because the system may nothold the vehicle stationary. Never leave the vehicle while it is being stopped by the brake auto hold system. When leaving the vehi
cle, apply the park-
ing brake and move th
e selector lever to
the “P” (PARK) position. Do not use brake auto hold system when driving on slippery roads. The system may not hold the vehicle stationary and could result in an accident. NOTE
While operating the brake auto hold system, you may hear an operati
on noise to increase
braking force when the system detected the movement of the vehicl
e. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction.

Warning display
N00567301132
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who cannot depress the brake pedal firmly such as in em
ergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force. If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.
N00517900240
The anti-lock braking
system helps prevent
the wheels from locking up when braking.This helps maintain vehicle drivability and steering wheel handling. When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden braking), steering is slightly different from normal driving conditions. Use the steering wheel carefully. 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-coveredroads. • Driving on uneven road surfaces.
CAUTION If the warning is displayed, the hill start assist will not
operate. Start off carefully.
Park your vehicle in a
safe place and stop the
engine.Restart the engine and check whether the indicator/display goes out
, in which case the
hill start assist is again working normally. If they remain displayed or reappear fre- quently, it is not necessa
ry to stop the vehicle
immediately, but th
e vehicle should be
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon
as possible.
Brake assist system
CAUTIONThe brake assist system is not a device designed to exercise
braking force greater
than its capacity. Make
sure to always keep a
sufficient distance be
tween your vehicle and
a vehicle in front of you without relying too much on the brake assist system.NOTE
Once the brake assist system is operational, it maintains great braking force even if the brake pedal is lightly released. To stop its operation, completely removeyour foot from the brake pedal. The brake assist syst
em may become opera-
tional when the brake pedal is fully depressed even if it
has not been depressed
suddenly. When the brake assist system is in use while driving, you may feel as if the depressedbrake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in small motions in conjunction with the operation noise, or the vehicle body and the steeringwheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake assist system is ope
rating normally and does
not indicate faulty
operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal. You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is suddenl
y or fully depressed
while stationary. This
does not indicate a
malfunction and the brak
e assist system is
operating normally.
When the anti-lock brake system warning light or only active st
ability control warning
light illuminate, the brake assist system innot functioning.

Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted situati
ons where brakes are
applied suddenly. This system may also prevent the wheels from locking when you drive over manholes, steel roadworkplates, road markings
, or any uneven road
surface. When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel the brake pedal vibrat- ing and hear a unique
sound. It may also
feel as if the pedal
resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down firmly. Do not pump thebrake, which will result in reduced braking performance.

N00531701702
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv- ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Test the system by restarting the engineand driving at a speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher. If the warning light / display then remainsoff during driving, there is no abnormal condition.
CAUTION The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your responsibility to takesafety precautions a
nd to drive carefully.
To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system, be sure all 4 wheels and tires are the same size and the same type.NOTE
A whining sound is emitted from the engine compartment when driving immediately after starting the engine. These are the nor-mal sounds the anti-lock braking system makes when performing a self-check. It does not indicate a malfunction.
The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle has
reached a speed over
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stopsworking when the vehicle slows below 3 mph (5 km/h).
