To shift fromToProcedureVehicles with manual transmissionVehicles with automatic transmission2H4HThe drive mode-selector can be operated while the ve-
hicle is either moving or stationary.
When the vehicle is not in motion, shift the gearshift
lever to the “N” (Neutral) position before operating
the drive mode-selector.
When the vehicle is moving, and only while it can be steered straight ahead, release the accelerator pedal
before operating the drive mode-selector.The drive mode-selector can be operated while the
vehicle is either moving or stationary.
When the vehicle is not in motion, shift the selector
lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position before oper-
ating the drive mode-selector.
When the vehicle is moving, and only while it can
be steered straight ahead, shift the selector lever to
the “D” (DRIVE) position, and release the accelera- tor pedal before operating the drive mode-selector.

Stop the vehicle, depress the clutch pedal to the floor
and operate the drive mode-selector.
Keep depressing the clutch pedal while 2WD/4WD
operation indication lamp continues to blink.
Stop the vehicle, shift the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position, and operate the drive mode-
selector.
If operation is made with the selector lever placed
in any other position than “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion, a gear noise may be generated, with a possible
failure to shift into a proper gear.

NOTEl Shifting of setting of the drive mode-selector
between “2H” ↔ “4H” should only be doneat speeds below 100 km/h (62 mph).
l During driving, never attempt to shift from
“4H” to “4L”.
l When shifting from “2H” to “4H” in cold
weather while the vehicle is in motion, the transfer gear may make some noise. In cold
weather, try to shift the gear while the vehi-
cle is stopped.
l When shifting between “4H” and “4L”, the
transfer gear may make some noise.NOTEl When the drive mode-selector is set between
“2H” ↔ “4H” while the vehicle is stopped,
the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp blinks while the selection is in process.
Drive slowly and normally after confirming that the lamp is illuminated. Refer to “2WD/4WD operation indication lamp and
low-range indication lamp” on page 6-38.
l When the drive mode-selector is set between
“2H” ↔ “4H” while the cruise control is ac-
tivated, the transfer gear may make some
noise.NOTEl When the drive mode-selector is set be-
tween“4H” ↔ “4L” in cold weather, its se-
lection may not complete. Return the drive mode-selector to its previous position. After
the engine is warmed up, make the range se- lection again.

when the indication lamp is blinking.NOTE• Keep the steering wheel in the straight
ahead position while making range selec-
tions. If you attempt to drive forward with the steering wheel turned, gear rattling or
shock may occur and the desired range may not actually be selected.
• When the drive mode-selector is set be-
tween “2H” ↔ “4H” while the vehicle isstopped, the 2WD/4WD operation indica-
tion lamp blinks while the selection is in
process. Drive slowly and normally after confirming that the lamp is switched.
• If the 2WD/4WD operation indication
lamp continues blinking after a “2H” ↔ “4H” selection has been made with thevehicle moving, hold the steering wheel in the straight ahead position and slowly
depress the accelerator pedal several
times.

Be sure to operate the drive mode-selector
until the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp illuminates again.
l When parking, apply the parking brake be-
fore stopping the engine and make sure that the 2WD/4WD operation indicator and the
low range lamp are not blinking during shift- ing process between “4H” ↔ “4L”. Other- wise, the vehicle could unexpectedly move
even if the automatic transmission is in the “P” (PARK) position.
l If, after a “4H” ↔ “4L” selection has been
made, the 2WD/4WD operation indicator continues blinking and the desired range isnot actually selected, return the drive mode- selector to its previous position. Place the
steering wheel in the straight ahead position, drive the vehicle forward, and release the ac-
celerator pedal. Next, hold down the clutch pedal (with manual transmission) or place
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position (with automatic transmission) and make the range selection again.NOTEl If the low range lamp blinks when you at-
tempt to make a “4H” ↔ “4L” selection, a
“4H” ↔ “4L” selection cannot be made.

CAUTIONl If a problem is detected in the transfer sys-
tem, a safety device will activate. The 2WD/4WD operation indicator blinks (twiceper second), and transfer shifting will be-
come impossible. Park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine for a few moments.Restart the engine. The lamp should resume normal operation. If the lamps continue to
blink, have the vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.

CAUTIONlDo not drive your vehicle in the “4HLc” or
“4LLc” position on dry paved roads and highways. Doing so may result in excessivetyre wear, increased fuel consumption, and
possible noise generation. It may also in-
crease the differential oil temperature, which
may damage the drive system. Further, the drive train will be subjected to excessive loading, resulting in oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious problems. On dry
paved roads and highways, drive the vehicle
in “2H” or “4H” only.Drive mode-selector operation
