2 Quick indexAnti-lock braking system warning
lightWhen this light comes on, the anti-lock braking system is not functioning and
only the ordinary braking system is functioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine.
Test the system as described on page 3-135.
If the light does not go out after the test, or if it comes on again, we recom-
mend that you have the system checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.P. 3-135
SRS warning lightIt is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but we recommend that
you have the airbag and the pre-tensioner seat belt system checked at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possible.P. 2-71
Tire pressure monitoring system
warning lightIf the warning light comes on, you should stop and adjust the tires to the
proper inflation pressure as soon as possible.
(See “Tire inflation pressures” on page 7-27.)
Once adjustments have been made, the warning light will go off after a few
minutes of driving.
If the warning light blinks for approximately 1 minute and then remains con-
tinuously illuminated, the system is not operating properly. If the system
returns to normal, the warning light will go off. If the warning light does not
go off, have the vehicle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.P. 3-151

If your vehicle becomes stuck
in sand, mud or snow1. Slowly press down on the accelerator pedal to get your vehicle moving again. For
an all-wheel drive vehicle, set the drive mode-selector to the “4WD AUTO”, “4WD
LOCK”, “SNOW” or “LOCK” position and then slowly press down on the acceler-
ator pedal to get your vehicle moving.
2. If there is nothing to stop your tires from slipping, move the selector lever back and
forth between the “D” (DRIVE) position and “R” (REVERSE) position and rock
your vehicle out of the stuck position.P. 6 - 2 7
WA R N I N G
!When trying to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, make sure that there are no people nearby. The rocking
motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders.Avoid revving the engine or spinning the wheels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle may result in overheating
and transaxle failure.
If your vehicle is still stuck after several rocking attempts, call for help.

onboard diagnostic (OBD) system performs a self check.
Always tighten the fuel tank filler cap until you hear at
least 3 clicks.
The indicator will go off after driving several times. If the
indicator does not go off, contact your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice as soon as possible.

Installation of accessories
N00301700195
The installation of accessories, optional parts, etc., should
only be carried out within the limits prescribed by law,
and in accordance with the guidelines and warnings con-
tained within the documents accompanying this vehicle.
Only Mitsubishi Motors approved accessories should be
fitted to your vehicle.
Improper installation of electrical parts could cause fire.
Refer to the “Modification/alterations to the electrical or
fuel systems” section within this owner’s manual.
Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the vehicle with-
out an external antenna may cause electrical system inter-
ference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
Tires and wheels which do not meet specifications must
not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information
regarding wheel and tire sizes.
Important point!Due to the large number of accessory and replacement parts
provided by different manufacturers in the market, it is not
always possible for an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to
check whether the attachment or installation of non-Mitsubishi
Motors genuine parts affects the driving safety of your
Mitsubishi-vehicle.
CAUTION
!Before any electrical or electronic accessories are
installed, consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
WA R N I N G
!While driving, do not use a cellular phone in a way
that hinders safe driving. Anything, including cellu-
lar phone usage, that distracts you from the safe
operation of your vehicle increases your risk of an
accident.

3 Electronically controlled 4WD system
(if so
equipped)N00517200142
The electronically controlled 4WD system is an all-wheel drive
system that allows one of three drive modes to be selected with
a switch, in accordance with the driving conditions.
The following drive modes are available.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driving skills.
Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation” section on page 3-
123 and take care to drive safely.
Drive mode-selectorThe drive mode can be switched by turning the dial while the
ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
The drive mode is displayed as an interrupt display on the
information screen in the multi-information display when the
drive mode is switched.
After a few seconds, the information screen returns from the
drive mode display to the previous screen.
Drive mode
Function
2WDThis mode is for economical
driving on normal dry roads
and freeways.
Driving in front-wheel drive.
4WD AUTOThe default mode.
This mode is for automatically
controlling the distribution of
driving torque to all four
wheels according to the driving
conditions.
4WD LOCKThis mode is for driving in slip-
pery conditions such as on
snow-covered roads or sand.
The large amount of driving
torque that is applied to the rear
tires enables getting out of slip-
pery areas and powerful driving
is possible across all ranges.

!Do not operate the drive mode-selector with the
front wheels spinning on a snowy road or in similar
conditions. The vehicle could lunge in an unexpected
direction. Driving on dry, paved roads in “4WD LOCK” mode
causes increased fuel consumption, noise, and pre-
mature tire wear.Do not drive with the tires spinning in “2WD” mode.
Doing so could generate heat in the drive-system
components.

3S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control)
(if so
equipped)N00541300049
S-AWC is an integrated vehicle dynamics control system that
enhances driving performance, cornering performance and
vehicle stability over a wide range of driving conditions. It
does this by integrated controls over the front-rear distribution
of driving torque to the wheels and the left-right distribution of
driving torque to the front wheels.NOTEIf the parking brake lever is pulled up while the vehicle is
moving, the front-rear distribution of driving torque con-
trol will be forced to turn OFF which will allow the rear
wheel to lock easier.
CAUTION
!Always use tires of the same size, type, and brand
that have no wear differences. Using tires that differ
in size, type, brand, or wear amount may activate
the protection of the drive-system components, caus-
ing the drive mode in “4WD AUTO” mode to lock or
the “4WD” and “LOCK” indicators to blink alter-
nately.
CAUTION
!Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S-AWC
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from act-
ing on the vehicle. This system, like any other sys-
tem, has limits and cannot help you to maintain
traction and control of the vehicle in all circum-
stances. Reckless driving can lead to accidents. It is
the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully. This
means taking into account the traffic, road and envi-
ronmental conditions.Be sure to use tires that are the same specified size,
type, and brand, and have no difference in the
amount of wear for all four wheels. Otherwise, the
S-AWC may not work properly.

NOTEThe control mode can be changed while the vehicle is
moving.
S-AWC control mode displayThe currently selected control mode is displayed on the multi-
information display.
In addition, when the control mode is changed, the selected
mode appears on the interrupt display screen of the information
screen in the multi-information display.
The control mode display will appear on the information
screen for a few seconds, and then the original screen will
return.
CAUTION
!Do not operate the dial while the tires are spinning.
The vehicle might suddenly move in an unantici-
pated direction.Driving on dry, paved roads in “LOCK” mode will
increase fuel consumption and noise, and cause pre-
mature tire wear.When the tires spin, especially if “LOCK” mode has
been selected and the ASC has been turned off, you
may experience strong steering feedback. Grip the
steering wheel firmly.
Example: “TARMAC” mode is selected.
