CAUTIONlIf the selected drive mode indicator is blink-
ing, the vehicle switches automatically to front-wheel drive in order to protect thedrive-system components, and drive mode
selection is no longer possible with the drive mode-selector.
The warning display is also displayed in the
information screen in the multi-information display.
Reduce speed, and if the indicator goes out after driving a while, resume driving as be-fore. If the indicator continues blinking for more than about 5 minutes, have the vehicle
inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.Type 1Type 2CAUTIONl If the warning display on the information
screen in the multi-information display, a problem has occurred with the electronically
controlled 4WD system and the safety de-
vice has activated. Have an inspection made
by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.Type 1Type 2CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres that differ in
size, type, brand, or wear amount may acti- vate the protection of the drive-system com-
ponents, causing the drive mode in “4WD
AUTO” mode to lock or the “4WD” and “LOCK” indicators to blink alternately.4-wheel drive operation
E00606601116
Your vehicle has been designed primarily foruse on paved roads.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar lo-
cations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow- covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions.
It is particularly important to note that 4- wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability and engine braking on steep
slopes. You should try to avoid driving on
steep slopes.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud and when driving through water because sufficient traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through
areas where the tyres may get stuck in deep
sand or mud.WARNINGl Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive ve-
hicles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have limits to the system and ability to main-tain control and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Always drive care-
fully, taking account of the road condi-
tions.

lCarefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal in order to
dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do not function properly, we recommend
you to have the brakes checked as soon as possible.
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core.
l After driving through water, check the
engine, transmission and differential oil. If the oil or grease is milky or cloudy be-
cause of water contamination, it must be
replaced with new oil or grease.
l Check the inside of the vehicle. If water
entry is found, dry the carpet etc.
l Inspect the headlamps, If the headlamp
bulb is flooded with water, we recom-
mend you to have it drained.Cautions on handling of 4-
wheel drive vehicles E00606800818
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the driving performance of the ve- hicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install only the specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 11-12.
l Be sure all 4 tyres and wheels are the
same size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of
the tyres or wheels, replace all 4 tyres.
l All tyres should be rotated before the
wear difference between the front and
rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expec- ted if there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page 10-14.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres of differentsize, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-
crease the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driving sys-
tem. Further, the drive train will be subjec- ted to excessive loading possibly leading tooil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.TowingCAUTIONl Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.
If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type C or Type D equipment.
l Even in “2WD” drive mode, the vehicle can-
not be towed with the front or the rear wheels on the ground.

Driving hints
lAlways keep a safe distance from the ve-
hicle in front of you. Even if your vehi- cle is equipped with ABS, leave a great-
er braking distance when: • Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving with tyre chains installed.
• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
l Operation of ABS is not restricted to sit-
uations where brakes are applied sud-
denly. This system may also prevent the
wheels from locking when you drive over manholes, steel roadwork plates, road markings, or any uneven road sur-
face.
l When the ABS is activated, you may
feel the brake pedal pulsation and the vi- brations of the vehicle body and steering
wheel. It may also feel as if the pedal re-
sists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down firmly. Do not
pump the brake, which will result in reduced braking performance.
l An operation noise is emitted from the
engine compartment or you can feel a shock from the brake pedal when start
driving immediately after starting the en-
gine. These are normal sounds or opera- tions that the ABS makes when perform-ing a self-check. It does not indicate a
malfunction.
l The ABS can be used after the vehicle
has reached a speed over approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops working when the vehicle slows below approximately5 km/h (3 mph).CAUTIONl The ABS cannot prevent accidents. It is your
responsibility to take safety precautions and to drive carefully.
l To prevent failure of the ABS, be sure all 4
wheels and tyres are the same size and the same type.
l Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ABS may stop functioning properly.ABS warning lamp/display
E00607201135
Warning lampWarning display type 1Warning display type 2
If there is a malfunction in the system, the
ABS warning lamp will come on and the
warning display will appear on the informa- tion screen in the multi-information display.
Under normal conditions, the ABS warning
lamp only comes on when the ignition switch
is turned to the “ON” position or the opera- tion mode is put in ON and goes off a few
seconds later.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
6-47
OGAE14E1Starting and driving6
Active stability control
(ASC)* E00616700331
The Active Stability Control (ASC) takes
overall control of the anti-lock brake system, traction control function and stability control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s con-
trol and traction. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on the anti-lock
brake system, traction control function and stability control function.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 6-46
Traction control function ® p. 6-50
Stability control function ® p. 6-50CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle.
This system, like any other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstan- ces. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive care-
fully. This means taking into account the traffic, road and environmental conditions.
l Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not work properly.CAUTIONl Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.NOTEl An operation noise may be emitted from the
engine compartment in the following situa-
tions. The sound is associated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this time, you
may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
• When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the engine is turned on.
l When the ASC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin- ing sound from the engine compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating
normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active.Traction control function
E00619000087
On slippery surfaces, the traction control
function prevents the drive wheels from spin-
ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle to start moving from a stopped condition. It also
provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle turns while press-
ing the acceleration pedal.
CAUTIONl When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy
road, be sure to install snow tyres and drive
the vehicle at moderate speeds.Stability control function
E00619100017
The stability control function is designed to
help the driver maintain control of the vehicle
on slippery roads or during rapid steering ma-
noeuvres. It works by controlling the engine output and brake on each wheel.
NOTEl The stability control function operates at
speeds of about 15 km/h (9 mph) or higher.
Active stability control (ASC)*
6-50 OGAE14E1Starting and driving6
NOTElThe chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if needed.
l If chocks or blocks are not available, use
stones or any other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in position.
6. Get the jack bar and wheel nut wrench
ready.
Refer to “Tool and jack” on page 8-06.
Spare wheel information*
E00803600585
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre- quently and make sure it is ready for emer-
gency use at any time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest specified air pressure will ensure that it can
always be used under any conditions (city/ high-speed driving, varying load weight,etc.).
The spare wheel is stored beneath the lug-
gage floor board of the luggage compartment.
CAUTIONl The pressure should be periodically checked
and maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-13.)
l When the tread wear indicators appear, the
tyre must be replaced.
Refer to “Wheel condition” on page 10-13.
Temporary spare wheel (spare
wheel with a speed limit label)*
The T155/90D16 or T125/90D16 size spare
wheel is stored beneath the luggage floor
board of the luggage compartment. It is de- signed to save space in the luggage compart-ment and its light weight makes it easy to
handle in the event of a flat tyre.
CAUTIONl The temporary spare wheel is for temporary
use only and should be removed as soon as
the original wheel can be repaired or re-
placed.
l The vehicle must not be driven at speeds in
excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using thetemporary spare wheel.CAUTIONl The
T155/90D16 or T125/90D16 size spare
wheel is not as good as a standard wheel in controllability and stability. When the tem-
porary spare wheel is used, avoid quick starts, sudden braking and sharp steering.
The tyre size of the 215/65R16 size tempo-
rary spare tyre is different from that of the standard tyre. When the temporary spare
tyre is used, avoid quick starts, sudden brak- ing and sharp steering.
l The temporary spare wheel is specifically
designed for your vehicle and it should not
be used on any other vehicle.
When you purchase a 215/65R16 size spare wheel, be sure to purchase the type designed
specially for your vehicle from your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l Do not use tyre chains with your temporary
spare wheel. Because of the smaller tyresize, a tyre chain will not fit properly. This
could cause damage to the wheel and result in loss of the chain.
If a front tyre becomes flat when using tyre
chains, first replace a rear wheel with the temporary spare wheel and then use the re-
moved rear wheel to replace the flat front
wheel so that you can continue to use the chains.

CAUTIONlUpon installation of the
T155/90D16 or
T125/90D16 size spare wheel, the ground
clearance is reduced as the tyre is smaller in
diameter than the standard tyre.
When passing over the projections on the
road, take care not to damage the vehicle’s
undercarriage.
l Do not install more than one temporary
spare wheel at the same time.To remove the spare wheel
