The temperature of the Twin Clutch SST fluid is high. If this occurs, take one of the following mea- sures.  Reduce the vehicle speed.  Stop the vehicle in a safe place, place the gearshift lever in the “P” (PARK) posi- tion, and then open the engine hood with the engine running to cool the engine.
After a while, check that the warning dis- play has gone out. If the display goes out, the vehicle can be driven normally.If the warning display remains on or comeson frequently, have the vehicle checked by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. If the vehicle continues to be driven after the warning display appears, and the tempera- ture of the Twin Clutch SST fluid continues to rise, the transmission protection control may be activated and cause the transmission
to function as if the gearshift lever was in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position. At this time, the vehicle temporarily cannot be driven.If this occurs, take the following measures. 1. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehi- cle in a safe place. 2. Place the gearshift lever in the “P”(PARK) position, and then open the engine hood with the engine running to cool the engine. 3. After a while, check that the warning display has gone out, and then stop the engine if the warning display has gone out. 4. If the engine can be restarted, the vehiclecan be driven normally.
If the warning display remains on or comes on frequently, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice.

CAUTION  When warning display is shown, your vehicle may not accelerate normally, even if the accelerator pedal is depressed. Use cau- tion when necessary to drive the vehicle.NOTE
 If the vehicle is continuously driven on hilly roads or in an aggressive manner involving high engine rpm, sudden acceleration and/ordeceleration, the vehicle transmission may vibrate. This vibration is to al
ert the driver that the
Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature has risen. It does not indicate a malfunction. If this occurs, perform the same measures for when the warning appears. If the vibra- tion stops, the vehicle can be driven nor- mally.

This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from moving. The engine canbe started from the “PARK” position.
Move the lever to this position only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. At this position, the transmission is disen- gaged. It is the same as the neutral position ona manual transaxle and should be used when the vehicle is not moving for an extended length of time during driving, such as in atraffic jam.
This position is used for most city and high- way driving. Engine shifting and braking are done automatically as needed, depending on road conditions.
CAUTION When warning display is shown, your vehicle may not accelerate normally, even if the accelerator pedal is depressed. Use cau-tion when necessary to drive the vehicle.
Gearshift lever positions (Main shift gate)

“P” PARK

“R” REVERSE

CAUTION Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while
the vehicle is in
motion. If the lever is shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion, the transmissionmay be damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL

WA R N I N G Never move the gearshift lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving since you could accidentally slip it into the “P”(PARK) or “R”(REVERSE) position and the engine speed could rise, damaging the transmission.
 To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on a slope, the engine should be started in the “P” (PARK) position. Although the engine can be started when the vehicle is in the “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-tion, for safety reasons, do not start the engine in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position. Always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shifting into or out of“N” (NEUTRAL) position, to prevent roll- ing.
“D” DRIVE

CAUTION Never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion. If the lever is shifted into the “D” (DRIVE) from the “R” (REVERSE) position while thevehicle is in motion, the transmission may be damaged.WA R N I N G

If there is a problem in the Twin Clutch SST or engine electronic control module, the fol- lowing may occur.  Twin Clutch SST does not shift.  Vehicle cannot move.  Twin Clutch SST acceleration is slow.  Vehicle does not creep.  “Shift shock” is large.  Shifting occurs at higher engine speed.  Response is slow.
If any of these occurs, perform the following procedure. The temperature of Twin Clutch SST fluid is high. Refer to “Warning display” on page 5-73 and follow the appropriate measures. There could be a malfunction in the engine electronic control module.
CAUTION Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler- ation may occur if the gearshift lever is in aposition other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Do not keep the vehicle in a stopped position on an uphill slope by depressing the acceler- ator pedal instead of the brake pedal.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 kept in a stopped positionby depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal, the vehicle will vibrate or the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display to alert the driver that the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature hasrisen. 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 an accident. If the warning display appears or the transmission protection control operates, refer to “When warning display is showing” on page 5-73.

N00516400046
All-wheel drive vehicles are propelled by engine power distributed constantly andappropriately to all four wheels. Not only does this ensure enhanced handling on dry, paved roads but also permits bettertraction when driving on slippery, wet or snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud.These vehicles, however, are not designed for off-road use, and are unsuitable for driving on bumpy ground that may cause
excessive strain.
All-wheel drive vehicles
should be driven only under the same condi- tions as are suitable for ordinary front-wheel drive vehicles.
N00530800158
Since driving torque can be applied to the four wheels, the driving performance of the vehicle when operating in all-wheel drive isgreatly affected by the condition of the tires. Pay close attention to the tires. Install only the specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-5. Be sure all four tires and wheels are the same size and type. When it is necessary to replace any of thetires or wheels, replace all four.  All tires should be rotated before the wear difference between the front and rear tiresis recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a difference in wear

between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on page 9-22.  Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
N00538500050
The ACD is a system
that improves accelera-
tion performance and straight-ahead stability by regulating the differential limiting actionand power drive distribution of the center dif- ferential.
N00545400035
Select the control mode from the following three types to suit the driving conditions.
CAUTION Always use tires of the same size, type, and brand that have no wear differences. Using tires of different size, type, brands or degreeof wear, will increase the differential oil tem- perature and result in possible damage to the driving system. Further, the drive train willbe subjected to excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other serious failures.
To w i n g
CAUTION Do not tow all-wheel dr
ive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type A or Type B) as illustrated. This could result in damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing. If you tow all-wheel drive vehicles, use TypeC or Type D equipment.
Jacking up all-wheel drive vehi- cles
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.
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.

Limited-slip differential (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-85

N00517400085
A limited-slip differential is applied for rear wheel differential. The features of this lim- ited-slip differential are described below: Just as with a conventional differential, the wheel on one side is allowed to turn at a dif- ferent speed from the wheel on the other side when the vehicle is cornering. The differencebetween the limited-slip differential and a conventional differential is that if the wheel on one side of the vehicle loses traction, agreater amount of torque
is applied to the
wheel on the other side to improve traction.
N00517500262
Overuse of the brake can cause poor brake response and premature wear of the brakepads and linings. When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by downshifting.
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 that youhave 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, 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.
Limited-slip differential
(if so
equipped)
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.CAUTION Never start the engine while one of the front or rear wheels is jacked up and the others in contact with the ground; doing so may cause the vehicle to jump forward. Continuously attempting to extract the vehi- cle from snow, mud, etc. while using highengine rpm may damage the limited-slip dif- ferential. Using a compact spare wheel will adversely affect the limited-slip differential; replace the compact spare wheel with a standard sizewheel as soon as possible.

The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers 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.
 When facing uphill, do
not rely on using the
hill start assist to maintain a stopped position as an alternative to depressing the brake pedal. Doing so could cause an accident. Do not turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” or “ACC” position while the hillstart assist is operating. The hill start assist could stop operating, which could result in an accident.
To operate
NOTE
 The hill start assist is activated when all of the following conditions are met. • The engine is running. (The hill start assist will not be activated while the engine is starting or immediatelyafter the engine is started.)CAUTION
• The gearshift lever is in any position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). • The vehicle is completely stationary, with the brake pedal depressed. • The parking brake is released.  The hill start assist w
ill not operate if the
accelerator pedal is depressed before the brake pedal is released.  The hill start assist also operates when reversing on an uphill slope.
Warning display
- ASC indicator
CAUTION If the warning is displayed, the hill start assist will not operate. Start off carefully.NOTE
 Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine. Restart the engine and check whether the dis- play/indicator goes out, in which case the hill start assist is again working normally.If they remain displayed or reappear fre- quently, it is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but the vehicle should beinspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.
