[For vehicles equipped with the Free-handAdvanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key).]For information on operation for vehiclesequipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu-rity Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer to
“Free-hand Advanced
Security Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key): Starting” on page 5-13.[Except for vehicles equipped with theFree-hand Advanced Se
curity Transmit-
ter (F.A.S.T.-key).]Do not operate the starter motor continu-ously for longer than 15 seconds as thiscould run the battery
down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start,turn the ignition switch back to the “OFF”or “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds,and then try again. Trying repeatedly withthe engine or starter motor still turningwill damage the starter mechanism.If the engine will not
start because the bat-
tery is weak or discharged, refer to“Jump-starting the engine” (on page 8-2)for instructions.A longer warm up period will only con-sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed upenough for driving when the bar graph ofengine coolant temper
ature display starts
to move or the low coolant temperatureindicator goes out. Refer to “Engine cool-ant temperature display” on page 5-161 or“Low coolant temper
ature indicator” on
page 5-202.
This model is equipped with an electronicallycontrolled fuel injection system. This is a sys-tem that automatically controls fuel injection.There is usually no need to depress the accel-erator pedal when starting the engine.The starter should not be run for more than 15seconds at a time.To prevent battery drain, wait a few secondsbetween attempts to restart the engine.1. Make sure all occupants are properlyseated with seat belts fastened.

Tips for starting
WA R N I N GNever run the engine in
a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is neededto move your vehicle
out of the area. Car-
bon monoxide gas, wh
ich is odorless and
extremely poisonous, could build up andcause serious injury or death.CAUTIONDo not push-start the vehicle.Do not run the engine at high rpms or driveat high speeds until
the engine has had a
chance to warm up.Release the ignition sw
itch as soon as the
engine starts. Otherwis
e, the starter motor
will be damaged

4-wheel drive operation
Features and controls 5-89
5
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 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 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.CAUTIONSetting 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).CAUTIONAvoid sudden braking,
sudden acceleration
and sharp turning. Sk
idding occurs and con-
trol of the vehicle could be lost.

Your vehicle has been designed for both nor-mal and occasional off-road use. However,avoid driving the vehicle through areas wherethe tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud asyour vehicle is designe
d primarily for use on
pavement, unlike a conventional off-roadvehicle.Keep in mind that 2-wheel drive vehicles areless capable than 4-wh
eel drive vehicles for
driving on muddy, slippery, wet or snow-cov-ered roads.Utility vehicles have
higher ground clearance
and a narrower track, which enables them toperform in a wide variety of off-road situa-tions. Because of the higher ground clear-ance, these vehicles have a higher center ofgravity, which makes them handle differentlythan ordinary vehicles when driving on pave-ment. They are not designed to maneuver orcorner at the same speed on pavement as con-ventional 2-wheel driv
e passenger cars any
more than low-slung sports cars are designed
to perform satisfactorily in off-road condi-tions.Always drive safely
and steer the vehicle
carefully. Avoid operating the vehicle in amanner that might require sharp turns orabrupt maneuvers. As wi
th other vehicles of
this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor-rectly can result in lo
ss of control or vehicle
rollover.In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is sig-nificantly more likely to die than a personwearing a seat belt. Be
fore starting the vehi-
cle, always make cert
ain that you and all your
passengers are properly wearing their seatbelts (with children in the rear seat, in appro-priate restraints).
N00628801191
Fuel economy is depe
ndent on many factors.
Your personal driving habits can have a sig-nificant effect on your fuel consumption.Several recommendations
for achieving the
greatest fuel economy are listed below.Whenever accelerating from a stop,always accelerate
slowly and smoothly.
When parked for even a short period, donot idle the engine. Shut it off.Plan your trips to avoid unnecessarystops.
Keep your tires inflated to the recom-mended pressures.When driving a 4-wheel drive vehicle onhighways or dry improved roads, set thedrive mode to “4WD ECO” or “4WDAUTO” (Electronically controlled 4WD),or “AWC ECO” or “NORMAL” (S-AW C ) .For freeway driving, maintain a speed ofapproximately 50 mph (80 km/h) whentraffic, roadway and weather conditionssafely permit.Keep your air filter clean and your vehiclelubricated according
to the recommenda-
tions in this manual.Always keep your ve
hicle well main-
tained. A poorly maintained enginewastes fuel and costs money.Never overload your vehicle.
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequentcauses of accidents.Your driving ability ca
n be seriously impaired
even with blood alcohol levels far below thelegal minimum. If you
have been drinking,
don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or usepublic transportation. Drinking coffee or tak-ing a cold shower will not make you sober.
Driving precaution
WA R N I N GUtility vehicles have
a significantly higher
rollover rate than othe
r types of vehicles.
Avoid abrupt maneuvers and excessivespeed. Always buckle up.
