In sports mode, the currently selected gear is displayed on the information screen in the multi-information display.
CAUTION In sports mode, the driver must execute upward shifts in accordance with prevailingroad conditions, taking care to keep theengine speed below the red zone. Repeated continuous ope
ration of the spor-
tronic steering wheel pa
ddle shifter will con-
tinuously switch shift position. Gears may not change when the lateral pad- dle shifters are operate
d at the same time.
NOTE
Gears can only be selected in a forward direction from 1st gear to 6th gear. Toreverse or park the vehi
cle, move the selector
lever to the “R” or “P” position.  To maintain good running performance, the transaxle may refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever is moved to the“+(SHIFT UP)” positi
on at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transaxle may refuse to perform adownshift when the lever is moved to the “
−
(SHIFT DOWN)” positi
on at certain vehicle
speeds. When this happens, a buzzer soundsto indicate that a dow
nshift is not going to
take place.  Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slow
s down. Before the
vehicle stops, 1st gear
is automatically
selected.
 When the selector lever is in the “D”selected, the vehicle will automaticallyreturn to “D” (DRIVE)

While the vehicle is stopped or being drivenwith the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE),sports mode can be se
lected by pulling one of
the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter towards you.In sports mode, rapid
shifting is possible sim-
ply by operating the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter.
Unlike the manual transaxle, sports mode allows shifting with the accelerator pedaldepressed. + (SHIFT UP)
up once by each opera-
tion. − (SHIFT DOWN) Transmission shifts down once by each oper- ation. To return to “D” (DRIVE) operation, pull the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the + (SHIFT UP) side for longer than 2 sec- onds.
When returning to “D” (DRIVE) operation, the selector lever posit
ion display will change
to “D” (DRIVE) position.

WA R N I N G This position can be used for maximum engine braking. Be very careful not to shift into “L”Sudden engine brak
ing may cause the
tires to skid. Select this position according to the roadconditions and vehicle speed.

ddle shifter will con-
tinuously switch shift position. Shift ranges may not change when the lateral paddle shifters are opera
ted at the same time.
NOTE
Shift ranges can only be
selected in a for-
ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse orpark the vehicle, move
the selector lever to
the “R” or “P” position.

While the drive mode is in the “4WD AUTO”
ON, the drive mode will be changed to “4WD ECO” mode.If the ECO mode switch is switched OFF, the drive mode will be returned to “4WD AUTO”Refer to the “ECO mode switch” on page 5-231.

S-AWC is an integr
ated vehicle dynamics
control system that helps enhance driving performance, cornering performance, and vehicle stability over a wide range of drivingconditions through integr
ated management of
the electronically cont
rolled 4WD, the AYC
(Active Yaw Control), the ABS and the ASC.
The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys- tem that improves acceleration performance and stability performance by controlling front-rear distribution of driving torque withoperating the electronic control coupling arranged in the rear differential assembly. The AYC is a system, with a left-right differ- ential limiting function
and yaw control func-
tion, that controls the left-rightdriving/braking force by managing the AFD* (Active Front Differential), the brake, the EPS.*: AFD (Active Front Differential)
 If the drive mode indicator (4WD) is blink- ing, a problem has occurred with the elec-tronically controlled
4WD. A warning will
also be displayed in
the information screen
in the multi information display. Warning display (color
liquid crystal dis-
play) Have your vehicle in
spected by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.For vehicles equipped with mono-color liq- uid crystal display mete
r, drive mode indica-
tor (“4WD-E”, “LOCK”)
is blinking at the
same time. Make sure that all four tires are the same specified size, type, a
nd brand, and have no
significant difference
in the amount of wear.
Otherwise, the elec
tronically controlled
4WD system may not work properly, and the 4WD system warning (overheating or ser- vice required) may displayed.
When the ECO mode switch is ON
CAUTION
NOTE
 If the drive mode is switched in any mode after the drive mode is switched in “4WD ECO”, the drive mode
will not be changed
even if the ECO mode switch is switched OFF.

 Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S- AWC cannot prevent the natural laws ofphysics from acting on the vehicle. This sys-tem, like any other system, has limits and cannot help you to main
tain traction and con-
trol of the vehicle in
all circumstances. Reck-
less driving can lead to
accidents. It is the
driver’s responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking into account the traffic,road and environmental conditions.

Press the “ACC ON/OFF” switch to turn off the ACC.
With the ACC turned on, push down the “SET -” switch while
driving, and when your
vehicle reaches your de
sired speed, release
the “SET -” switch. The ACC will activateand initiate the speed control to maintain the set speed. The set indicator comes on, the set speed is indicated and the follow
ing distance indicator
changes to the ‘active’ will sound.
You can set the speed anywhere from approx- imately 25 mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180km/h). While a vehicle in front
is being detected and
your vehicle speed is
between a
pproximately
6 mph (10 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h), you can activate the ACC. In this case, the set speed will be set at 25 mph (40 km/h).The ACC cannot otherwis
e be activated while
your vehicle is traveling less than 25 mph (40 km/h) or greater than 110 mph (180 km/h).
NOTE
 Every time the operation mode is turned to the “OFF” position, the ACC is turned off.
To turn off ACC

NOTE
 The ACC can be turned off even while the ACC is active.  Every time the operation mode is turned off, the ACC is turned off and the set speed iserased.
To activate ACC control

NOTE
 When any of the following conditions are present, the ACC will not activate. • When your vehicle speed is lower than approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or greater than 110 mph (180 km/h). • When your vehicle is driven at speeds between approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h) and the ACC is notdetecting a vehi

There are two ways to increase the set speed. The set speed will increase by 1 mph (1 km/h) every time you push up the “RES +” switch while the ACC is activated. If youhold the switch pushed up, the set speed increases in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments.
• When the height of a vehicle in front is extremely low or the road clearance ofthe vehicle is extremely high.• When driving on a r
oad with alternating
up and down surfaces.• When driving on a curve.• When driving on a bumpy or rough road.• When driving in a tunnel.• When driving in construction zones.• When the rear of your vehicle is weighed down with the weight of passengers and luggage• For up to two minutes after starting driv-ing.• When driving in curved sections of roadincluding their entrance/outlet or run-ning beside a closed lane in a traffic work or similar zone.• When the surface of th
e sensor is covered
with dirt, snow, ice, etc.• When a front vehicle or an oncomingvehicle is splashing wa
ter, snow or dirt.

• When driving on
a winding road.
Never use the ACC in the following situa- tions:• In heavy traffic.• On winding roads.• On slippery roads, such as icy, snow-cov-ered or dirt roads.• In adverse weather conditions, such asrain, snow or sand storms, etc.• On steep downslopes.• When the inclination of a road fre-quently changes.• When the approach alarm frequentlysounds.• When your vehicle is towed or is towinganother vehicle.• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna-mometer or free rollers.• When tire inflation pressures are notadequate.• When the temporary sp
are tire is being
used.• When the radar sensor and/or its sur-rounding area are damaged or deformed.WA R N I N G
CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the ACC:• Always clean the surface of the radar sen- sor.• Avoid impacting the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.• Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor orits surrounding area.• Do not paint the radar sensor.• Do not install a grill guard.• Do not modify the radar sensor or its sur- rounding area.• Always use tires of the same size, sametype, and same brand, and which have no significant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.
