N00541600042
The Twin Clutch SST may not upshift to a higher shift position if the computer deter- mines the current speed cannot be maintainedonce a higher shift position is engaged. For smoother vehicle performance, if you release the throttle while climbing a steep grade, the Twin Clutch SST may not upshift.This is normal, as the computer is temporarily preventing shifting. After reaching the top of the hill, normal shift function will resume.
When traveling down steep grades, the com- puter may automatically select a lower shift
 Depress the brake pedal with the right foot. Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion. Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal willaffect braking efficiency, may cause prema- ture wear of brake pads and may cause engine damage. Use the gearshift lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi-tions. Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position {“D” (DRIVE) or manualshifting} or coast forward in the “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedaland steering effort could lead to an accident. Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary. This can cause sudden acceleration and dam- age the Twin Clutch SST.Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with the gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation withthe gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.CAUTION
Passing acceleration

NOTE
 In manual shift, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the wayto the floor.
Uphill/downhill driving

DRIVING UPHILL
CAUTION Do not use the tendency of the vehicle to creep forward in order to drive at low speeds up hills. The transmission may be damaged and an accident may occur due to the following con-ditions.• The Twin Clutch SST fluid temperaturewill rise and can cause transmission dam- age.• If the vehicle is continuously driven at lowspeeds using the tendency of the vehicle to creep forward, the vehicle will vibrate or the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-information display to alert the driver that the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature has risen.After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature rises even higher, the transmis- sion protection control will operate.If this occurs, the vehicle may suddenly reverse as if the gearshift lever was in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and cause anaccident. If the warning display appears or the transmission protection control operates, refer to “When warning display is showing” on page 5-60.

and power drive distribution of the center dif- ferential.
N00541500012
The AYC is a system, with a left-right differ-ential limiting function and yaw control func-tion, that enhances cornering performance and stability during
cornering by controlling
the left-right drive power difference of therear wheels, the braking force of all four wheels, and the vehicle yaw moment.
The left-right differential limiting function is a function that enhances driving performance and vehicle stability by preventing idle spin-ning of a wheel when driving on slippery road surfaces or when the road surfaces of the left and right wheels are different. The yaw control function is a function that enhances vehicle cornering performance by controlling the drive power difference of theleft and right wheels
and the braking force
when the vehicle does not turn in response to steering input, such as when the steeringwheel is turned quickly or when driving on slippery road surfaces.
N00542401057
Select the control mode from the followingthree types to suit the driving conditions.
When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position, operate the AWC switch to change the control mode.Each time the switch is pushed, the control mode changes in the order “TARMAC”

“GRAVEL”
 “SNOW”
 “TARMAC”.
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 conditionwhich will allow the rear wheel to lock eas- ier.
AYC (Active yaw control sys- tem)
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 driv-ing.

N00542600049
When there is a malfunction in the system, the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-information display. In addition, the S-AWC control mode display in section A will go out at the same time.
N00517900295
The anti-lock braking system helps preventthe wheels from locking up when braking.This helps maintain vehicle drivability and steering wheel handling.  Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi-cle is equipped with the anti-lock braking system, leave a greater braking distance when:• Driving on gravel or snow-covered roads. • Driving on uneven road surfaces.  Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted to situations where brakes are applied suddenly. This system mayalso prevent the wheels from locking when you drive over manholes, steel roadwork plates, road markings, or anyuneven road surface.
WA R N I N G Always concentrate on your driving first. Keep your eyes and mind on the road. Dis- tractions while driving can lead to an acci- dent.
S-AWC warning display
CAUTION The system may be malfunctioning. Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine. Restart the engine and check whether the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” go out. If the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” go out, there is no abnormal condition. If the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” do not go out or appear frequently, it is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but we recommendthat you have your vehicle inspected.NOTE
 If the ambient temperature drops and the vis- cosity of the AWC control fluid increases,the warning may be displayed. At this time, S-AWC control is temporarily suspended, but this will not affect normaldriving. After the vehicle is driven for a while, if the engine is restarted after the AWC controlfluid warms up or the ambient temperature increases, the S-AWC control will start oper- ating again if the warning display goes out.

 When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel the brake pedal pulsa- tion and the vibrations of the vehicle body and steering wheel. It may also feel as ifthe pedal resists being pressed. In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down firmly. Do not pump thebrake, which will result in reduced braking performance.  An operation noise is emitted from the engine compartment or feel a shock fromthe brake pedal when start driving imme- diately after starting the engine. These are normal sound or operation that the anti-lock braking system makes when per- forming a self-check. It does not indicate a malfunction. The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle has reached a speed over approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stopsworking when the vehicle slows below approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
N00531600632
Warning light Warning display If there is a malfunction in the system, the anti-lock braking system warning light willcome on and the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display.Under normal conditions,
the anti-lock brak-
ing system warning light only comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”position and goes off a few seconds later.
N00531700561
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Test the system by restarting the engine anddriving at a speed of about 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher. If the warning light / display then remain offduring driving, there is no abnormal condi- tion.
CAUTION The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your responsibility to take safety precautions and to drive carefully.  To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system, be sure all 4 wheels and tires are the same size and the same type.
 Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip differential (LSD) on yo
ur vehicle. The anti-
lock braking system may stop functioning properly.

N00559200021
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 steeringperformance as the vehicle turns while press- ing the acceleration pedal.
N00546800010
The skid control function is designed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle onslippery roads or during rapid steering
maneuvers. It works by controlling the engine output and the brake on each wheel.
N00559400209
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the ASC automatically turns ON. If the ASC OFF switch is pressed to turn OFF the ASC, the display in the meter comes on. Press the switch again to turn ON the ASC.
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicl
e. This system, like
any other system, has limits and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of thevehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully. This meanstaking into account the traffic, road and envi- ronmental conditions. Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire on all four wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not work properly. Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASCmay stop functioning properly.NOTE
 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 youdepress it. These do not indicate a malfunc- tion. • When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is turned on.
 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.  When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

erly, the rest of the brake system will still work, but the vehicle will not slow down as quickly. You will know this has happened if you findyou need to depress the brake pedal down further, or harder when slowing down or stop- ping, or if the brake warning light and thewarning display in the multi-information dis- play come on.
N00532500117
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes ametallic squeal when the brake pads have worn down enough to need service. If youhear this sound continuously, have the brake pads inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.
N00567300076
The brake assist system is a device assistingdrivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly such as in emergency stop situations and provides greater braking force. If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.
N00518000323
The power steering system operates while theengine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel. The power steering system has mechanicalsteering capability in case the power assist is
WA R N I N G Never coast downhill with the engine OFF. Keep the engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the engine while driving, the power brakebooster will stop working and your brakes will not work as well. If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic system stops working properly, take your vehicle to an authorized Mit-subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.
Brake pad wear alarm
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.NOTE
 When the brakes are applied, a faint noise may be heard, but this
is a characteristic of
high-performance brakes; it does not indicatea problem.
Brake assist system
CAUTION The brake assist system is not a device designed to exercise braking force greater than its capacity. Make sure to always keep asufficient distance between vehicles 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 the brake pedal is lightly released. To stop its operation, completely remove your 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 while driving, you may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in smallmotions in conjunction with the operation noise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brakeassist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to depress the brake pedal.  You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is suddenly or fully depressedwhile stationary. This does not indicate a malfunction and the brake assist system is operating normally.
