4-wheel drive operation 5-86 Features and controls

When turning a sharp corner in “4WD LOCK” (Electronically
controlled 4WD) or
“LOCK” (S-AWC) position 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” (Electronically con-trolled 4WD) or “SNOW” (S-AWC) in accor- dance with the road conditions, and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for asmooth start.
Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD LOCK” (Electronically contro
lled 4WD) or “LOCK”
(S-AWC) and then gradually depress the accelerator 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” (Electronically
controlled 4WD) or
“LOCK” (S-AWC) 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 underexcessive strain when driving on such a sur- face. This could lead to accidents.
 If any of the following conditions occur while the vehicle is
being driven, immedi-
ately park your vehicle
in a safe place and
follow these procedures:• 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-informationdisplay. Refer to “Warning disp
lay” on page 5-66,
5-74.WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be sure that the areaaround the vehicle is
clear of people and
physical objects. The rocking motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for- ward/backward, caus
ing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.CAUTION

N00517500275
Overuse of the brake can cause weakening, resulting in poor brake response and prema- ture wear of the brake pads.When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by downshifting.
N00517600364
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakesfor more braking force with less brake pedal effort.Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power assist is not being used.If the power assist is not being used, the effort needed to press the br
ake pedal is greater.
If you should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit or either of the twobrake hydraulic systems stops working prop- erly, the rest of the brake 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 press the brake down farther, orharder when slowing down or stopping, or if the brake warning light and the warning dis- play in the multi-information display comeon.
N00550700124
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes a metallic squeal when
the brake pads have
worn down enough to need service.If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fa
cility of your choice.
N00562601097
The hill start assist make
s it easy to start off
on a steep uphill slope by preventing the vehicle from moving back
wards. It keeps the
braking force for about 2 second when you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
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 pedalstroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times. Make surethe 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 lining wear, a
nd 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 wo
rking and your brakes
will not work as well.
 If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic system stop
s working properly,
take your vehicle to
an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of 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.

N00629001709
For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the following:  Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated and wearing their seat
belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that all the doors and the liftgate are locked. Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while keep
ing good visibility,
and good control of the steering wheel,brakes, accelerator,
and controls. Check
the instrument panel
indicators and multi-
information display for any possible prob-lem.  Similarly, the front
passenger seat should
also be moved as far back as possible. Make sure that infa
nts and small children
are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower swit
ch on high. You should
be able to feel the air blowing against thewindshield. Refer to “Defrosti
ng or defogging (wind-
shield, door windows)” on page 7-13 Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails, glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or
sidewall cracks. Check
the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires (including spare tire) for proper pressure. Replace your tires before they are heavilyworn out. As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, only, be performed by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn
signal indicators and hi
gh-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or
other leaks. Make sure
all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you
can smell fuel, you need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.
N00629201134
Even this vehicle’s sa
fety equipment, and
your safest driving, ca
nnot guarantee that you
can avoid an accident or injury. However, ifyou give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself and your passengers:  Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plenty of stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors, blind spots, and use your turn-signal light. While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyc
lists, and pedestrians.
