S-AWC control mode
Function
AW C E C O
This is the most fuel efficient mode. Normal operation is in 2WD, but 4WD performance will be provided under slippery conditions.
NORMAL
This mode can be used on both dry and wet roads. The distri- bution of driving/braking torque to each wheel is auto-matically controlled according to the driving condition.
SNOW
This mode is for driving on slippery road surfaces, such as snow-covered roads.
LOCK
This mode is for driving where maximum traction is required. This mode is suitable for driv-ing on rough roads or driving in mud, sand or fresh snow.
S-AWC drive mode-selector
CAUTION Do not operate the drive mode-selector with the front wheels spinning on a snowy road or in similar conditions
. The vehicle could
lunge in an unexpected direction. Driving on dry, paved roads in “LOCK” mode causes increased fuel consumption andnoise.
NOTE
The control mode can be switched while driving or stopped.

Your vehicle has been
designed primarily for
use on pavement. But its unique 4 -wheel
drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic
sites, and similar
locations.Not only does this ensure better handling on dry, paved roads but al
so 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 im
portant to note that 4-
wheel drive may not gi
ve sufficient hill
climbing ability and e
ngine braking on steep
slopes. You should try to avoid driving onsteep slopes. Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud and when driving through water because sufficie
nt traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud.
When the ECO mode switch is ON
NOTE
If the drive mode is switched in any mode after the drive mode is switched in “AWCECO”, the drive mode will not be changed even if the ECO mode switch is switched OFF.
4-wheel drive operation
WA R N I N G Do not over-rely on th
e 4-wheel drive vehi-
cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim- its to the system and ability to maintaincontrol and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Al
ways drive carefully,
taking account of the road conditions. Improperly operating
this vehicle on or
off-pavement can cause an accident orrollover in which you
and your passengers
could be seriously injured or killed.• Follow all instructions and guidelines inthe owner’s manual.• Keep your speed low and do not drivefaster than conditions.
NOTE
Driving on rough roads can be hard on a vehicle. Before you le
ave the pavement, be
sure all scheduled ma
intenance and service
has been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay spec
ial attention to the
condition of the ti
res, and check the tire pres-
sures. Mitsubishi Motors is not responsible to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and negligent operation of a vehicl
e. All techniques of
vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the opera
tor and other partici-
pating parties. Any de
viation from the rec-
ommended operating instru
ctions above is at
their own risk. Note that the stopping distance required of the 4-wheel drive vehicle differs very little from that of the front-wheel drive vehicle.When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that you keep a sufficient dist
ance between your vehi-
cle and the one ahead of you. The driving posture s
hould be more upright;
adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operati
on. Be sure to wear
the seat belt. After driving on rough roads, check each part of the vehicle
and wash it thoroughly
with water. Refer to the “Inspection and maintenance followi
ng rough road opera-
tion” section and “Vehicle care and Mainte-nance” sections.

When turning a sharp corner in “4WD LOCK” or “LOCK” posi
tion at low speed, a
slight difference in
steering may be experi-
enced similar to feeling as if the brakes wereapplied. This is calle
d tight corner braking
and results from each of the four tires being at a different distance from the corner. The phe-nomenon is typical of 4-
wheel drive vehicles.
If this occurs, either straighten out the steer- ing wheel or change to another mode. Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD AUTO”, “4WD LOCK” or “SNOW” inaccordance with the road conditions, and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD LOCK” or “LOCK” and then gradually depress theaccelerator pedal for a
smooth start. Keep the
pressure on the accelera
tor pedal as constant
as possible, and drive at low speed.
CAUTION Setting the drive mode-selector to “4WD LOCK” or “LOCK” position to drive on drypaved road will increa
se fuel consumption,
with possible noise generation.
Turning sharp corners On snowy or icy roads
NOTE
The use of snow tires is recommended.
Maintain a safe distan
ce between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak-ing (downshifting).CAUTION Avoid sudden braking,
sudden acceleration
and sharp turning. Skidding occurs and con-trol of the vehicl
e could be lost.
Driving on sandy or muddy roads
CAUTION Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly on sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor- mal road surfaces, th
e engine and other
drive-system components are put under excessive strain when driving on such a sur- face. This could lead to accidents. If any of the follow
ing conditions occur
while the vehicle is
being driven, immedi-
ately park your vehicle
in a safe place and
follow these procedures:NOTE
• If the engine coolan
t temperature display
flashes on the information screen in the multi-information di
splay or the engine
power drops suddenly. Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.• If the “ ” warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the “ ” warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-information display. Refer to “Warning disp
lay” on page 5-62,
5-70.WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is
clear of people and
physical objects. The rocking motion maycause the vehicle to suddenly launch for- ward/backward, caus
ing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.NOTE
Avoid sudden braking,
sudden ac
celeration
and sharp turning; such operations couldresult in the vehi
cle becoming stuck.
