Have the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible. A safety device in the Twin Clutch SST has been activated due to a possible malfunction in the Twin Clutch SST.Refer to “If the gearshift lever position dis-play is not showing” on page 5-72 and follow the appropriate measures. A safety device in the Twin Clutch SST has been activated due to a possible malfunction in 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.
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 choice as soon as possi- ble.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.

How to change a tire
For emergencies 8-11
8
8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the wheel nut wrench counterclockwise until the tire touches the ground.
9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in the illustration until each nut has been tight- ened to the torque listed here. 65 to 80 ft-lb (88 to 108 N•m)
10. Lower the jack all the way and remove it.
11. Check the tire inflat
ion pressure. The rec-
ommended tire pressure for your vehicle is listed on the tire and loading informa- tion placard attached to the driver’s doorsill as shown in the illustration. Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-21.
NOTE
Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the compact spare or steel wheel, but return them to the original wheel and tire as soon as possible. If all four wheels are changed to steel wheels, use tapered nuts.
CAUTION Never use your foot or a pipe extension to apply added force to the wheel nut wrench when tightening the wheel nuts. If you do so, you can over-tighten the wheel nuts anddamage the wheel, wheel nuts and hub bolts.
CAUTION Driving with an improperly inflated tire can cause an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep your speed down and avoid sudden steeringor braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure as soon as possible. Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-21. After changing the tire and driving the vehi- cle about 620 miles (1,000 km), retighten thewheel nuts to make sure that they have not come loose.
