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

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.

The brake assist system
is a device assisting
drivers who cannot depress the brake pedal firmly such as in em
ergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force. If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied
with more force than
usual.
CAUTION Do not overly rely on th
e hill start assist to
prevent backwards movement of the vehicle.Under certain circumstances, even when hillstart assist is activated, the vehicle may move backwards if the brake pedal is not suf- ficiently depressed, if
the vehicle is heavily
loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery. The hill start assist
is not designed to keep
the vehicle stopped in
place on uphill slopes
for more than 2 seconds. When facing uphill, do not rely on using the hill start assist to ma
intain a stopped position
as an alternative to depressing the brake pedal. Doing so could cause an accident. Do not turn the igniti
on switch to the “OFF”,
“LOCK” or “ACC” pos
ition while the hill
start assist is operating. The hill start assist could stop operating, wh
ich could result in
an accident.
To operate

NOTE
 The hill start assist is activated when all of the following conditions are met. • The engine is running. (The hill start assist
will not be activated
while the engine is st
arting or immediately
after the engine is started.) • The selector lever is
in any position other
than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). • The vehicle is comple
tely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed. • The parking brake is released.  The hill start assist will not operate if the accelerator pedal is
depressed before the
brake pedal is released.  The hill start assist also operates when reversing on an uphill slope.

WA R N I N G Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting
in an ac
cident.
NOTE
During repeated full-lock turning of the steering wheel (for example, while you aremanoeuvring the vehicle into a parkingspace), a protection f
unction may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This f
unction will make the
steering wheel graduall
y harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system hascooled down, the steering effort will return to normal.  If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi- cle is stationary with the headlights on, the headlights may become
dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The he
adlights will return to
their original brightness after a short while.
