To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor
if it is safe to do so
in traffic conditions. The CVT will automati-cally downshift.
N00515000074
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be left in selector lever position and held stationary with the servicebrake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine running, the selector lever should be placed in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
N00515100062
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com- plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If you are going to leave the vehicle unat-tended, always switch off the engine and carry the key.
N00515300194
If the CVT does not shift while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphill slope, there may be something unusual happening in the transmis-sion, causing a safety device to activate. Have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility ofyour choice as soon as possible. 1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving uphill, shift the selector lever into “L” (LOW) position (except for vehicles withsport mode) or 2nd shift range of the sports mode. This method might not work dependingon the type of transmission malfunction.
 Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary. This can damage the CVT. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with theselector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation withthe selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration

NOTE
 In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
Waiting

CAUTION
CAUTION To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the accelerator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or service brake. Unexpected acceleration may occur if the selector lever is in a position other than “P”(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Before driving off from a stop, make sure that the selector lever is in “D” (DRIVE)position or “Sports mode” position.
Parking

NOTE
 On a slope, be sure to apply the parking brake before moving the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-cult to disengage the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strongforce to the selector lever to move from the “P” (PARK) position.

N00530600169
Full-time 4WD vehicles are propelled by engine power distributed constantly andappropriately to all 4 wheels. Not only does this ensure enhanced handling on dry, paved roads but also permits bettertraction when driving on slippery, wet orsnow-covered roads and when moving out of mud. These vehicles, however, are not designedfor off-road use, and are unsuitable for driving on bumpy ground that may cause excessive strain.
Full-time 4WD vehicles
should be driven only under the same condi- tions as are suitable for ordinary front-wheel drive vehicles. Electronically controlled 4WD system vehi- cles are propelled by engine power distrib- uted constantly and appropriately to all 4 wheels. Not only does this ensure enhanced handling on dry, paved roads but also permits better
traction when driving on slippery, wet or snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud. These vehicles, however, are not designedfor off-road use, and are unsuitable for driving on bumpy ground that may cause excessive strain.
Electronically controlled
4WD system vehicles should be driven only under the same conditions as are suitable for ordinary front-wheel drive vehicles. When turning a sharp corner in “4WD LOCK” position at low speed, a slight differ- ence in steering may be experienced similarto feeling as if the brakes were applied. This is called tight corner braking and results from each of the four tires being at a different dis-tance from the corner. The phenomenon is typical of 4-wheel drive vehicles. If this occurs, either straighten out the steeringwheel, or change to “2WD” or “4WD AUTO” mode. Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD AUTO” conditions, and then gradually depress theaccelerator pedal for a smooth start.
CAUTION The warning display on the information screen in the multi-information display, a problem has occurred with the electronically controlled 4WD system and the safety device has activated. Have an inspection made byan authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as pos- sible.
Type 1 Type 2
CAUTION Always use tires of the same size, type, and brand that have no wear differences. Using tires that differ in size, type, brand, or wear amount may activate the protection of thedrive-system components, causing the drive mode in “4WD AUTO” mode to lock or the “4WD” and “LOCK” indicators to blinkalternately.

Your vehicle may not provide sufficient hill climbing ability and engine braking on steepslopes. Avoid driving on steep slopes even though the vehicle is a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
N00530800190
Since driving torque can
be applied to all four
wheels, the performance of the vehicle when operating in all-wheel drive is greatly affected by the condition of the tires. Pay close attention to the tires. Install specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-5.  Be sure to fit all four tires and wheels of the same size and type.When replacement of any of the tires or wheels is necessary, replace all of them.  All tires should be rotated whenever the wear difference between the front and rear tires is recognizable.
NOTE
 The use of snow tires is recommended.  Maintain a safe distance 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 vehicle could be lost.
Moving out of mud
CAUTION If any of the following conditions occur, fol- low these procedures:• The engine coolant temperature display appears on the information screen in the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly. Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.
• The “ ” warning display or the “ ” warning display appear on the information screen in the multi-information display. Refer to “Warning display” on page 5-62.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 may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for- ward/backward, causing injury or dam-age to nearby people or objects.NOTE
 Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turning; such operations couldresult in the vehicle becoming stuck.  If the vehicle becomes stuck in muddy roads, it can often be moved with a rocking motion. Move the selector lever alternately between “D” (DRIVE) and “R” (REVERSE) posi-tions, while pressing lightly on the accelera- tor pedal.CAUTION

N00517600377
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking force with minimal brakepedal effort. Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power assist is lost.If the power assist is lost, the effort needed to press the brake pedal is greater. If you should loose the power assist for somereason, 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 find you 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.
N00532500087
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes ametallic squeal when the brake pads haveworn down enough to need service. If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer ora repair facility of your choice.
N00567300076
The brake assist system is a device assistingdrivers 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.
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 and lining wear, and possibledamage 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 brake booster will stop working and your brakeswill 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 facilityof your choice immediately.
Brake pad wear alarm
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.
Brake assist system
CAUTION The brake assist system is not a device designed to exercise braking force greater than its capacity. Make sure to always keep asufficient distance between vehicles in front of you without relying too much on the brake assist system.NOTE
 Once the brake assist system is operational, it maintains great braking force even if the brake pedal is lightly released. To stop its operation, completely remove your foot from the brake pedal.  The brake assist system may become opera- tional when the brake pedal is fullydepressed even if it has not been depressed suddenly.

N00517900309
The anti-lock braking system helps prevent the wheels from lockin
g up when braking.
This helps you keep control of your vehicleand its direction.  When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden braking), steering is slightly differentfrom normal driving conditions. Use the steering wheel carefully.
 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 distancewhen: • Driving on gravel or snow-covered roads.• Driving on uneven road surfaces.  Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted to situations where brakesare 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 vibrat-ing and hear a unique sound. You 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 reducedbraking performance.
N00531600573
Warning light
 When the brake assist system is in use while driving, you may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in small motions in conjunction with the operation noise, or the vehicle body and the steeringwheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake assist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue todepress the brake pedal.  You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is suddenly or fully depressed while stationary. This does not indicate a malfunction and the brake assist system isoperating normally.
Anti-lock braking system Driving hints
NOTE
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 four wheels and tires arethe same size and the same type.
 Never install a limited slip differential as the ABS may not function normally. Please consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
 After your vehicle is driven a short distance after starting the engine, you will hear thesound coming from the engine compartment. These are the normal sounds the anti-lock braking system makes when performing aself-check. It does not indicate a malfunc- tion.  The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle has reached a speed over approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stopsworking when the vehicle slows below approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
