ACD (Active center differential system) (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-83

Refer to “Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)” on page 5-146 and follow the appropriate measures. A safety device in the Twin Clutch SST has been activated due to a possible malfunctionin the Twin Clutch SST. Refer to “If the gearshift lever position dis- play is not showing” on
page 5-73 and follow
the appropriate measures. A safety device in the Twin Clutch SST has been activated due to a possible malfunctionin the Twin Clutch SST or in the engine elec-tronic control module. Perform the following procedure.1. Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine. 2. Restart the engine. If the vehicle moves and accelerates normally after this procedure is performed, there is no malfunction in the transmission.
However, if the vehicle does not move or accelerate normally, or if this problem occurs repeatedly, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your ch
oice as soon as possi-
ble.
N00538500034
The ACD is a system
that improves accelera-
tion performance and straight-ahead stabilityby regulating the differential limiting action and power drive distribution of the center dif- ferential.
N00545400048
Select the control mode from the followingthree types to suit the driving conditions.
When the gearshift lever position display is not showing When warning display is showing or when no warning is showing in the multi- information display
CAUTION When the Twin Clutch SST fluid tempera- ture is high, the engine idle speed when the vehicle is stopped may increase or the vehi- cle will have a weak tendency to creep. After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid tem- perature rises even higher, the warning display will appear.
ACD (Active center differ- ential system)
(if so equipped)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on th
e ACD. Even the ACD
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. 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 tires that are the same speci- fied size, type, and brand, and have no differ- ence in the amount of wear for all fourwheels. Otherwise, the ACD may not work properly.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 eas-ier.

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”.
Example: “TARMAC” mode is selected. The currently selected control mode is dis- played 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.
N00545700041
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 ACD control mode display insection (A) will go out at the same time.

Operation
TA R M A C
Normally, use this control mode. Use this mode for paved roads.
GRAVEL
Use this control mode when driving on somewhat slip- pery road surfaces, such as wet road surfaces and gravel roads.
SNOW
Use this control mode when driving on slippery road sur-faces, such as snow-covered roads.
ACD control mode switch
NOTE
The control mode can be changed while the vehicle is moving. The selected control mode is stored in mem- ory even if the engine is stopped. However, if a battery terminal is discon-nected, the control mode stored in memory will be erased and the control mode will be set to the “TARMAC” mode.

ç
CAUTION The ACD control mode display may flash under aggressive driving conditions.At this time, ACD control is temporarily sus- pended in order to protect the ACD device, but this will not affect normal driving.After the vehicle is driven for a while, if the ACD control mode display remains on, the ACD control will start operating again.

N00548300019
The electronically controlled 4WD system is an all-wheel drive system that allows one of three drive modes to be selected with aswitch, in accordance with the driving condi- tions. The following drive modes are available.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv- ing skills. Carefully read the “All-wheel driving opera- tion” section on page 5-87 and take care todrive safely.
N00548400010
The drive mode can be
selected by pressing
the switch while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
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 goes out. If the warning display goes out, there is no abnormal condition. If the warning display does not go out or appears fre- quently, it is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but we recommend you to haveyour 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, ACD cont
rol is temporarily sus-
pended, but this will not affect normal driv-ing. 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 ACD control will start operat- ing again if the warning display goes out.

Drive mode
Function
2WD
This mode is for economical driving on normal dry roads and freeways. Driving in front-wheel drive.
4WD AUTO
The default mode. This mode is for automati- cally controlling the distribu-tion of driving torque to all four wheels according to the driving conditions.
4WD LOCK
This mode is for driving in slippery 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 slippery areas and power- ful driving is possible across all ranges.
