The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe fr
ontal impact. A typical
condition is shown in the illustration to the left. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy only in certain moderateto severe frontal collisions within the shaded area between the arrows in the illustration to the right.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag will deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s main structure is above a sp
ecific threshold level.
The threshold level is approximately 15 mph (25 km/h) for a frontal co
llision straight into a
solid flat wall that does not bend or deform. Ifthe impact to the vehicle’s main structure is below this threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy. Thisthreshold level may also
be higher if the vehi-
cle hits something that absorbs the impact, either by bending or moving (for example,
another stationary vehi
cle, a pole or a guard
rail). The initial stage of airbag inflation is themost forceful, and can cause serious injury or death if you are too clos
e to the deploying air-
bag. Accordingly, it is important that youalways wear the available seat belt.

In certain types of front collisions, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may notdeploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, because the vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb the impact anddeform in order to help
protect the occupants.
Some typical situations where the front air- bags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy are shown in the illustrations. Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air- bag do not protect the oc
cupant in all types of
frontal collisions, be su
re to always wear your
seat belts properly.

The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri- mary means of protection in an accident. TheSRS side airbags and curtain airbags are designed to provide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of alloccupants, be sure to
always wear your seat
belts properly. In certain types of side
collisions, the side air-
bag and curtain airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to belarge, because the vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb the impact and to deform in order to help protect the occupants. Thereare also cases where the side airbag and cur- tain airbag may not de
ploy at the same time,
depending on the location of the impact.Some typical situations
where the side air-
bags and curtain airbags may not deploy are shown in the illustrations.
Since the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant
in all types of side
collisions, be sure to
always wear the seat
belts properly.
The side airbag and curtain airbag are not designed to deploy in situations where theycannot provide protecti
on to the occupants.
Some typical situations are shown in the illustration.

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.

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.

If the electrical circuits become wet, furtheroperation of the vehicl
e will be impossible;
therefore, avoid driv
ing through water unless
absolutely necessary. If driving through wateris unavoidable, use th
e following procedure:
Check the depth of the water and the terrain before attempting to drive through it. Drive slowly to avoid creating excessive watersplashing.
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 under excessive strain when driving on such a sur-face. This could le
ad 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 overh
eating” on page 8-4.
• If the “ ” warning

sure that the area
around 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.NOTE
 Avoid sudden braking,
sudden acceleration
and sharp turning; such operations could result in the vehicle becoming stuck.  If the vehicle become
