4-wheel drive operation
Features and controls 5-89

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.

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 lightlydepressing the brake pedal in order to dryout the brakes. If the brakes still do notfunction properly, contact an authorizedMitsubishi 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 theengine, transaxle and
differential oil. If
the oil or grease is milky or cloudybecause of water c
ontamination, it must
be replaced with new oil.Check the inside of the vehicle. If waterentry is found, dry the carpet etc.Inspect the headlights. If water is in theheadlight 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 thefour wheels, the driving performance of thevehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive isgreatly affected by the condition of the tires.
Pay close attention to the tires.Install only the specified tires on allwheels. 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 thetires or wheels, replace all four.All tires should be rotated before the weardifference between the
front and rear tires
is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot beexpected if there is a difference in wearbetween tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” onpage 9-20.Check the tire inflati
on pressure regularly.
CAUTIONNever drive through water that is deepenough to cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaustpipe. Do not change th
e selector lever posi-
tion while driving through water.Frequent driving through water canadversely affect the life
span of the vehicle;
consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer 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. Ifthe 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. Usingtires 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, orother serious failures.

Tire pressure monitoring system
Features and controls 5-139

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),should be checked monthly when cold andinflated to the inflation pressure recom-mended by the vehicle manufacturer on thevehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different sizethan the size indicated on the vehicle placardor tire inflation pressure label, you shoulddetermine the proper ti
re inflation pressure
for those tires.)As an added safety feat
ure, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoringsystem (TPMS) that illuminates a low tirepressure telltale when
one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell-tale illuminates, you
should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflatethem to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-nificantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead
to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiencyand tire tread life, and may affect the vehi-cle’s handling and stoppi
ng ability. Please
note that the TPMS is
not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’sresponsibility to
maintain corre
ct tire pres-
sure, even if under-infl
ation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMSlow tire pressure telltale.Your vehicle has also
been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indica
tor to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. TheTPMS malfunction indicator is combinedwith the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, thetelltale will flash for approximately one min-ute and then remain c
ontinuously illuminated.
This sequence will c
ontinue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunctionexists.When the malfunction indicator is illumi-nated, the system may not
be able to detect or
signal low tire pr
essure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions ma
y occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation ofreplacement or alternate tires or wheels on thevehicle that prevent the TPMS from function-ing properly. Always
check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after
replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure thatthe replacement or alternate tires and wheels
CAUTIONIf the tire pressure monitoring system warn-ing light does not illumi
nate when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position orthe operation mode is put in ON, it meansthat the tire pressure monitoring system isnot working properly. Have the systeminspected by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer.In such situations, a malfunctioning of thesystem may be preventing the monitoring ofthe tire pressure. Avoid sudden braking,sharp turning and high-speed driving.If a malfunction is detected in the tire pres-sure monitoring system, the tire pressuremonitoring system warning light will blinkfor approximately 1 mi
nute and then remain
continuously illuminate
d. The warning light
will issue further warnings each time theengine is restarted as
long as the malfunction
exists.Check to see whether the warning light goesoff after few minutes driving.If it then goes off during driving, there is noproblem.However, if the warning light does not gooff, or if it blinks again when the engine isrestarted, have the
vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of thesystem may be preventing the monitoring ofthe tire pressure. For safety reasons, whenthe warning light appears while driving,avoid sudden braking, sharp turning andhigh-speed driving.
NOTE
In addition, the warni
ng display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor-mation display.
