To w i n g
CAUTION
!
Always use tires of the same size, same type, and
same brand, and which have no wear differences.
Using tires that differ in size, type, brands or the
degree of wear, will increase the differential oil tem-
perature, resulting in possible damage to the driving
system. Further, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage,
component seizure, or other serious problems.
CAUTION
!
Do not tow all-wheel drive vehicles with the front or
rear wheels on the ground (Type A or Type B) as
illustrated. This could result in damage to the driv-
etrain, or unstable towing.
If you tow all-wheel drive vehicles, use Type C or
Type D equipment.

Jacking up all-wheel drive vehicles
S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control)
N00541300036
S-AWC is an integrated vehicle dynamics control system that
helps enhance driving performance, cornering performance,
and vehicle stability over a wide range of driving conditions
through integrated management of the ACD, the AYC, the anti-
lock braking system, and the active stability control (ASC).
Please read this section in conjunction with the following sec-
tions.
ACD (Active center differential system) → P. 3 - 1 2 1
AYC (Active yaw control system) → P. 3 - 1 2 1
Anti-lock braking system → P. 3 - 1 2 6
Active stability control (ASC) → P.3-130
WA R N I N G
!
Do not start or run the engine while the vehicle is on
the jack.
The jack could slip out of position and result in an
accident.
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.

ACD (Active center differential system)
N00541400011
The ACD is a system that improves acceleration performance
and straight-ahead stability by regulating the differential limit-
ing action and power drive distribution of the center differen-
tial.NOTE
If the parking brake lever is pulled up while the vehicle is
moving, the center differential is designed to switch to a
free state condition which will allow the rear wheel to
lock easier.
AYC (Active yaw control system)
N00541500012
The AYC is a system, with a left-right differential limiting
function and yaw control function, that enhances cornering
performance and stability during cornering by controlling the
left-right drive power difference of the rear wheels, the braking
force of all four wheels, and the vehicle yaw moment. Left-right differential limiting functionThe left-right differential limiting function is a function that
enhances driving performance and vehicle stability by prevent-
ing idle spinning of a wheel when driving on slippery road sur-
faces or when the road surfaces of the left and right wheels are
different.Yaw control functionThe yaw control function is a function that enhances vehicle
cornering performance by controlling the drive power differ-
ence of the left and right wheels and the braking force when the
vehicle does not turn in response to steering input, such as
when the steering wheel is turned quickly or when driving on
slippery road surfaces.
CAUTION
!
Control of the braking force does not enhance the
stopping performance of the vehicle, therefore, pay
careful attention to the safety of your surroundings
when driving.

!
Always concentrate on your driving first. Keep your
eyes and mind on the road. Distractions while driv-
ing can lead to an accident.

3-134 Features and controls
3Limited-slip differential
N00517400014
A limited-slip differential is applied for front wheel differen-
tial. The features of this limited-slip differential are described
below:
Just as with a conventional differential, the wheel on one side
is allowed to turn at a different speed from the wheel on the
other side when the vehicle is cornering. The difference
between the limited-slip differential and a conventional differ-
ential is that if the wheel on one side of the vehicle loses trac-
tion, a greater amount of torque is applied to the wheel on the
other side to improve traction.NOTE
Even if there is a difference in the amount of traction the
wheels can get, if both of them are spinning, the limited-
slip differential will not be effective.
Service brake
N00517500291
Brake pedalOveruse of the brake can cause poor brake response and pre-
mature wear of the brake pads.
When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by
downshifting.
CAUTION
!
Never start the engine while one of the front or rear
wheels is jacked up and the other in contact with the
ground; doing so may cause the vehicle to jump for-
ward.
Continuously attempting to extract the vehicle from
snow, mud, etc. while using high engine rpm may
damage the limited-slip differential.
Using a compact spare wheel will adversely affect
the limited-slip differential; replace the compact
spare wheel with a standard size wheel as soon as
possible.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let
a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the
full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emer-
gency. 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, premature pad wear, and possible
damage to the brakes.

To check the fluid levelRemove the lid on the trunk room right side trim.
Check the fluid level in the reservoir 90 minutes or more after
turning the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position.
Check to make certain that the AWC control fluid level is
always between the “MAX” and “MIN” level markings on the

Drive at safe speeds.

After filling your tires to the correct pressure, check them
for damage and air leaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on
the valve stems.
Replacing tires and wheels
N00939600397
CAUTION
!
Avoid using different size tires and wheels from the
ones listed, and avoid the combined use of different
types of tires and wheels. Using different size or type
tires and wheels may affect driving safety.
Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 9-8.
Always use tires of the same size, same type, and
same brand, and which have no wear differences.
Using tires that differ in size, type, brand or the
degree of wear, will increase the differential oil tem-
perature, resulting in possible damage to the driving
system. Further, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage,
component seizure, or other serious problems.
Even if a wheel has the same rim size and offset as
the specified type of wheel, its shape may prevent it
from being fitted correctly. Consult an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice before using wheels that you have.
As your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system, use only Mitsubishi genuine
wheels.
Other wheels do not permit correct installation of
tire inflation pressure sensors and can cause air
leakage and sensor failure, which would not be cov-
ered by your vehicle’s warranty.
