If the ambient temperature is low, the selectorlever position display on the multi informa-tion display may blink when the selector lever is placed in the “D” (DRIVE), “Ds” ately after the engine has been started. This indicates that the tran
smission requires warm-
ing up. While the display is blinking, the vehicle will not move,
because the transmis-
sion keeps disengaging until the warm up is completed even if the selector lever is placed in the “D”, “Ds”, “L” or “R” position. When the selector le
ver position display is
blinking, perform th
e following procedure:
1. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot and place the se
lector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position for severalseconds. 2. Keep depressing the brake pedal and then place the selector lever in the “D” SPORTY DRIVING), “L” (LOW) or “R” (REVERSE) position. If the selector leverposition display stops
blinking, the warm
up is completed and the transmission will function normally.3. If the display is still
blinking, repeat steps
1 and 2 above.

This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from m
oving. The engine can
be started in the “P” (PARK) position. Move the lever to this position only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
At this position, the transmission is disen- gaged. It is the same
as the neutral position on
a manual transaxle and should be used whenthe vehicle is not m
oving for an extended
length of time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
This position is used fo
r most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati- cally and continuously ch
ange its gear ratio
depending on road and driving conditions. Use when engine braking is needed, or for high-power sport drive.
After a while, confirm that the warning display is no longer show
ing. It is safe to
continue driving if the display is no longer showing. If the warn
ing display remains or
flashes frequently,
have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. [When warning di
splay is showing]
It may be that ther
e is something unusual
happening in the CVT, causing a safety device to activate
. Have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.

WA R N I N G Never move the selector lever to the “N” you could accidentally slip it into the “P” damaging the transmission. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on a slope,
the engine should be
started in the “P” (PARK) position, not in “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
 To prevent rolling, always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in“N” (NEUTRAL) positi

The drive mode can be switched by pressing the drive mode switch while the ignition is in the “ON” position or the operation mode inON. If you press the switch, you can change the drive mode in the order of 4WD ECO, 4WD AUTO, 4WD LOCK, 4WD ECO.
NOTE
 On vehicles with lever

the parking brake lever is pulled up while thevehicle is moving, the
front-rear distribution
of driving torque contro
l will be temporarily
suspended, which will allow the rear wheels to lock easier.

4WD ECO
This is most fuel efficient mode Normal operation is 2WD, but 4WD will engage in the event of wheel slip.
4WD AUTO
All driving is in 4WD and the distribution of traction torque to each wheel is automatically controlled depending on the driving conditions.
4WD LOCK
This mode is for driving in slippery conditions, such as snow covered roads or on sand. Large traction torque is dis-tributed to the rear wheels to assist in getting out of slip- pery areas.

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

play) Have your vehicle in
spected by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.For vehicles equipped with mono-color liq- uid crystal display mete

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.

 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.

speed by operating elec-
tronic control clutch arranged in the transfer assembly. The left-right differen
tial limiting function is
a function that enhanc
es driving performance
and vehicle stability by preventing idle spin- ning of a wheel when driving on slippery road or when the road surfaces of left and right wheels are different. The yaw control function is a function that enhances vehicle corn
ering performance and
vehicle stability with
management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controlling the drive power difference of the left andright wheels and the braking force when the vehicle does not turn
in response to steering
input, such as when the steering wheel isturned quickly or when driving on slippery road.

Your vehicle has been designed primarily for use on pavement. But its unique 4 -wheel
drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic
sites, and similar
locations.Not only does this ensu
re better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac- tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow- covered roads and when moving out of mud. But it is not suitable for heavy off road use ortowing in rough conditions. It is particularly im
portant to note that 4-
wheel drive may not gi
ve sufficient hill
climbing ability and e
ngine braking on steep
slopes. You should try to avoid driving on steep slopes.Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud and when driving through water because sufficient traction may not beavailable in certain circumstances. Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand ormud.
