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

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.

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.

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
CAUTIONDo 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 GDo 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 GDo 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.
CAUTIONIt 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.

Anti-lock braking system
Features and controls 5-97

N00517900240
The anti-lock braking system helps preventthe wheels from locking up when braking.This helps maintain vehicle drivability andsteering wheel handling.When using the anti-lock brakes (suddenbraking), steering is slightly differentfrom normal driving conditions. Use thesteering wheel carefully.Always keep a safe distance from thevehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi-cle is equipped with
the anti-lock braking
system, leave a greater braking distancewhen:• Driving on gravel or snow-coveredroads.• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
Operation of anti-lock braking system isnot restricted situations where brakes areapplied suddenly. This system may alsoprevent the wheels from locking whenyou drive over manholes, steel roadworkplates, road markings
, or any uneven road
surface.When the anti-lock braking system is inuse, you may feel the brake pedal vibrat-ing and hear a unique sound. It may alsofeel as if the pedal
resists being pressed.
In this situation, si
mply hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Do not pump thebrake, which will result in reducedbraking performance.
CAUTIONThe brake assist system is not a devicedesigned to exercise
braking force greater
than its capacity. Make sure to always keep asufficient 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 thebrake pedal is lightly released.To stop its operation, completely removeyour foot from the brake pedal.The brake assist system may become opera-tional when the brake pedal is fullydepressed even if it
has not been depressed
suddenly.When the brake assist system is in use whiledriving, you may feel as if the depressedbrake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in smallmotions in conjunction with the operationnoise, or the vehicle body and the steeringwheel vibrate. This occurs when the brakeassist system is ope
rating normally and does
not indicate faulty
operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.You may hear an operation noise when thebrake pedal is suddenl
y or fully depressed
while stationary. This does not indicate amalfunction and the brake assist system isoperating normally.
When the anti-lock brake system warninglight or only active st
ability control warning
light illuminate, the brake assist system innot functioning.
Anti-lock braking system Driving hints
NOTE
CAUTIONThe anti-lock braking system cannot preventaccidents. It is your
responsibility to take
safety precautions a
nd to drive carefully.
To prevent failure of the anti-lock brakingsystem, be sure all 4 wheels and tires are thesame size and the same type.NOTE
A whining sound is emitted from the enginecompartment when driving immediatelyafter starting the engine. These are the nor-mal sounds the anti-lock braking systemmakes when performing a self-check. It doesnot indicate
a malfunction.

On slippery surfaces, the traction controlfunction prevents the drive wheels from spin-ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle tostart moving from a stopp
ed condition.
It also
provides sufficient driv
ing force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while press-ing the acceleration pedal.
CAUTIONIf the warning display appears while theengine is running, have
the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer ora repair facility of
your choice as soon as
possible. It may become harder to turn thesteering wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTIONDo not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASCcannot prevent the natural laws of physicsfrom acting on the vehicle. This system, likeany other system, has
limits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of thevehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv-ing can lead to accident
s. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This meanstaking into account the traffic, road and envi-ronmental conditions.Be sure to use the same specified type andsize of tire on all four
wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly.Do not install any aftermarket limited slipdifferential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASCmay stop functioning properly.
NOTE
An operation noise may be emitted from theengine compartment in the following situa-tions. The sound is associated with checkingthe operations of the ASC. At this time, youmay feel a shock from the brake pedal if youdepress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-tion.• When the ignition switc
h is set to the “ON”
• When the vehicle is driven for a while afterthe engine is turned on.
When the ASC is acti
vated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicl
e body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the engine compartment.This indicates that th
e system is operating
normally. It does not i
ndicate a malfunction.

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.
