N00540900019
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) pushthe accelerator to the floor if it is safe to do so in traffic conditions. The Twin Clutch SST will automatically downshift.
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 steepgrade, the Twin Clutch SST may not upshift. This is normal, as the computer is temporarily preventing shifting. After reaching the top ofthe hill, normal shift function will resume.
When traveling down steep grades, the com- puter may automatically select a lower shift
position. This function assists engine braking efforts, reducing the need for using the ser- vice brakes.
N00541000046
For short waiting periods, such as at trafficlights, the vehicle can be left in gearshift lever position and held stationary with theservice brake.For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place the gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parkingbrake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped thevehicle, make sure that the gearshift lever is in “D” (DRIVE) position or manual shift position.
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.
DRIVING DOWNHILL
Wa i t i n g

CAUTION Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler- ation may occur if the gearshift lever is in a position 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.

If there is a malfunction in the Twin Clutch SST or engine electronic control module, the following 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 5-60 andfollow the appropriate measures. There could be a malfunction in the engine electronic control module.
Refer to “Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)” on page 5-121 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 5-60 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.
• The Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature will 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 theTwin 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.

Anti-lock braking system 5-74 Features and controls
5
N00517900295
The anti-lock braking system helps prevent the 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.  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 if the pedal resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in reduced braking performance. An operation noise is emitted from the engine compartment or feel a shock from the 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 indicatea malfunction.  The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle has reached a speed overapproximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stops working when the vehicle slows below approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
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.
Anti-lock braking system Driving hints
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 thesame size and the same type. Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The anti- lock braking system may stop functioningproperly.

N00517500291
Overuse of the brake can cause poor brake response and premature wear of the brakepads. When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by downshifting.
N00517600380
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking force with minimal brake pedal effort.Your brakes are designe
d to operate at full
capacity, even if the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost, the effort needed topress the brake pedal is greater. If you lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit or either of the two brake hydraulic systems stops working prop-
erly, the rest of the br
ake 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 the
warning 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.
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 other 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.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe operated freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place.CAUTION It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required. This practice can result in very high brake temperatures, pre-mature pad wear, and possible damage to the brakes.
Power brakes
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.
