Advanced automobile
manufacturing tech-
niques permit you to operate your new vehi- cle without requiring a long break-in periodof low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the following precautions during the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive your vehicle at m
oderate speeds during
the break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine.  Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden accelerati
on, prolonged high-
speed driving and sudden braking. These actions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel and oil consumption; th
is could ultimately
result in the malfunction of engine com-ponents. Be particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low shift posi- tion (low gears). Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10.) Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle (Refer to “T
railer towing” on page
6-11).

S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control) (if so equipped) 5-78 Features and controls

The left-right differen
tial limiting function is
a function that enhanc
es driving performance
and vehicle stability by preventing idle spin- ning of a wheel when driving on slipperyroad or when the road surfaces of left and right wheels are different. The yaw control function is a function that enhances vehicle corn
ering performance and
vehicle stability with
management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controlling the drive power difference of the left andright wheels and the braking force when the vehicle does not turn
in response to steering
input, such as when the steering wheel isturned quickly or when driving on slippery road.
N00542401073
Select the control mode from the followingfour types to suit the driving conditions.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv- ing skills.Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation” section on page 5-80 and take care to drive safety.
N00583000039
The control mode can
be switched by press
the switch while the operation mode in ON. If you press the switch, you can change the control mode in the order of AWC ECO,NORMAL, SNOW, LOCK, AWC ECO.

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 dr
ive 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.

4-wheel drive operation
Features and controls 5-81

When turning a sharp corner in “4WD LOCK” or “LOCK” position at low speed, a slight difference in
steering may be experi-
enced similar to feeling as if the brakes wereapplied. This is called 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.
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.
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. Sk
idding occurs and con-
trol of the vehicle 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, the engine and otherdrive-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

N00575301027
This displays the average fuel consumption from the last reset to the present.There are 2 types of m
ode settings of manual
reset and automatic reset. Refer to “Changing the reset mode for aver-age fuel consumption and average speed” on page 5-135. For information on how to change the aver- age fuel consumption di
splay setting, refer to

Driving range display
NOTE
 The driving range is determined based on the fuel consumption data. This may vary depending on the drivi
ng conditions and hab-
its. Treat the distance
displayed as just a
rough guideline.  When you refuel, the driving range display is updated. However, if you only add a small amount offuel, the correct value
will not be displayed.
Fill to a full tank whenever possible.  When your vehicle is stopped on an extremely steep hill, th
e driving range value
may, change. This is due to the movement offuel in the tank and does not indicate any breakdown.  The display setting can be changed to the preferred units (miles or km). Refer to “Changing th
e function settings” on
page 5-134.
Average fuel consumption dis- play
NOTE
 The average fuel cons
umption display can be
reset separately in both auto reset mode and manual reset mode.  “---” is displayed when the average fuel con- sumption cannot be measured.  The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset mode”.  Average fuel consumption may vary depend- ing on the driving conditions (road condi- tions, how you drive, etc.) The actual fuelconsumption may differ from the fuel con- sumption displayed, so treat the fuel con- sumption displayed as
just a rough guideline.
Disconnecting the batt
ery cable will erase
from memory the manual reset mode or autoreset mode setting for the average fuel con-sumption display.  The display setting ca
n be changed to the
preferred units {m
pg (US), mpg (UK),
L/100km or km/L}. Refer to “Changing th
e function settings” on
page 5-134.
Average speed display

 The average speed display can be reset sepa- rately in both auto
reset mode and manual
reset mode.  “---” is displayed when the average speed cannot be measured.  The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset mode”.NOTE
