If you press the engine switch without de-
pressing the brake pedal (A/T) or the clutch
pedal (M/T), you can change the operation
mode in the order of OFF, ACC, ON, OFF.
CAUTIONl When the engine is not running, put the op-
eration mode in OFF. Leaving the operation mode in ON or ACC for a long time when
the engine is not running may cause the bat- tery to be discharged, making it impossible
to start the engine, lock and unlock the steer- ing wheel.
l When the battery is disconnected, the cur-
rent operation mode is memorized. After re- connecting the battery, the memorized modeis selected automatically. Before disconnect-
ing the battery for repair or replacement,
make sure to put the operation mode in OFF. Be careful if you are not sure which opera-
tion mode the vehicle is in when the battery
is run down.
l The operation mode cannot be changed from
OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless operation
key is not detected to be in the vehicle. Refer
to “Keyless operation system: Operating range for starting the engine and changing
the operation mode” on page 3-09.
l When there is the keyless operation key in
the vehicle and the operation mode isn’t
change, the keyless operation key may have worn out.ACC power auto-cutout func-
tion
E00632801151
After about 30 minutes has elapsed with the
operation mode in ACC, the function auto-
matically cuts out the power for the audio system and other electric devices that can be
operated with that position. (only that driv- er’s door has closed and the selector lever in
the “P” (PARK) position)
When you open driver’s door or the engine
switch operate again, the power is supplied
again.
NOTEl When ACC power supply automatic stop,
the steering wheel can’t lock and you can’t lock and unlock the doors by the keyless en-
try key and keyless operation key.
l It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• The time until the power cuts out can be
changed to approximately 60 minutes.
• The ACC power auto-cutout function can
be deactivated.

the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) po- sition, and stop the engine.
For vehicles equipped with the keyless op-
eration systemWARNINGl Do not operate the engine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If the en-
gine is stopped while driving, the brake servomechanism will cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering system will notfunction and it will require greater man-
ual effort to operate the steering. This
could result in a serious accident.NOTEl If you have to bring the engine to an emer-
gency stop while driving, press and hold the engine switch for 3 seconds or more, or
press it quickly 3 times or more. The engine will stop and the operation mode will go to ACC.
l Do not stop the engine with the selector lev-
er in any position other than the “P” (PARK) position (A/T). If the engine is stopped with
the selector lever in any position other than the “P” (PARK) position, the operation
mode will go to ACC rather than OFF.
Put the operation mode in OFF after placing the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) posi- tion.

Examples of incorrect use of
the rear differential lock
E00606501128
WARNINGl If the “4L” or “4H” position (Easy select
4WD), “4LLc” or “4HLc” position (Super
select 4WD II) is selected along with the rear differential lock, the following phe-nomena appear and it is very dangerous.
Please be sure to release the rear differen-
tial lock on normal roads.
• If the rear differential lock is used by
mistake when driving on a paved road:
With the rear differential lock on, the power to drive the vehicle straight
ahead becomes very strong, which may make it difficult to turn the steering
wheel.WARNINGl If the rear differential lock is used by mis-
take when turning a curve or making a
right or left turn at a crossing or the like:
The vehicle is unable to make a turn and may go straight ahead.WARNINGl If the rear differential lock is used by mis-
take except when making an emergencyescape on snow or frozen road: It be-
comes difficult to make a steady turn.

After driving on icy roads
E00618801258
After driving on snow or icy roads, remove
any snow and ice which may have accumula-
ted around the wheels. On vehicles that have
an ABS, be careful not to damage the wheel
speed sensors (A) or the cables located at each wheel.Power steering system
E00607401498
The power steering system operates while the
engine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-
son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-
cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your ve-
hicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.WARNINGl 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 accident.CAUTIONl Do not leave the steering wheel turned all
the way in one direction. This can causedamage to the power steering system.Active Stability & Traction
Control (ASTC)* E00616701585
The active stability & traction control (ASTC) takes overall control of the anti-lockbrake system, traction control function and Active Stability Control function to help
maintain the vehicle’s control and traction. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on the anti-lock brake system, trac- tion control function and Active Stability
Control function.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 6-57
Active Traction Control function ® p. 6-61
Active Stability Control function ® p. 6-60CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on the ASTC. Even the
ASTC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle.
This system, like any other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstan- ces. Reckless driving may lead to accidents.
It is the driver’s responsibility to drive care- fully. This means taking into account the
traffic, road and environmental conditions.
l Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, the ASTC may not work correctly.
