S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control) (if so equipped) 5-68 Features and controls
5
The AYC is a system with a yaw control function, that controls the left-right driv-ing/braking force using the brakes. The yaw control function is a function that enhances vehicle cornering performance and vehicle stability with management of vehicle turning power (yaw moment) by controllingthe drive power difference of the left and right wheels and the braking force when the vehicle does not turn in response to steeringinput, such as when the steering wheel is turned quickly or when driving on slippery road.

Select the drive mode from the followingthree types to suit the driving conditions.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv- ing skills. Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation” section on page 5-70
and take care to drive
safety.
N00583000068
The drive mode can be switched by press theswitch while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position or the operation mode in ON. If you press the switch, you can change the drive mode in the order of AUTO, SNOW,GRAVEL, AUTO.
NOTE
 On vehicles equipped with lever type park- ing brake, if the parking brake lever is pulled up while the vehicle is moving, the front-rear distribution of driving torque control will be temporarily suspended, which will allow therear wheel to lock easier.

N00530601212
Your vehicle has been designed primarily for use on pavement. But its unique 4-wheel drive system allowsyou to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar locations.Not only does this ensure 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 or towing in rough conditions.It is particularly important to note that 4- wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability and engine braking on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driving on steep slopes. Also, you must exercise caution when drivingon sand and mud and when driving through water because sufficient traction may not be available in certain circumstances.Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud.

Traction control level display The strength of the traction control opera-tion (between the front and rear wheels) is displayed in section E of the meter as a bar graph.
WA R N I N G Always concentrate on your driving first. Keep your eyes and mind on the road. Dis-tractions while driving can lead to an acci- dent.
4-wheel drive operation
WA R N I N G Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive vehi- cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim-its to the system and ability to maintain control and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Always drive carefully,taking account of the road conditions. Improperly operating this vehicle on or off-pavement can cause an accident or rollover in which you and your passengers could be seriously injured or killed.• Follow all instructions and guidelines inthe owner’s manual.• Keep your speed low and do not drivefaster than conditions.
NOTE
 Driving on rough roads can be hard on a vehicle. Before you leave the pavement, be sure all scheduled maintenance and service has been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to thecondition of the tires, and check the tire pres- sures.  Mitsubishi Motors is not responsible to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and negligentoperation of a vehicle. All techniques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other partici-pating parties. Any deviation from the rec- ommended operating instructions above is at their own risk.  Note that the stopping distance required of the 4-wheel drive vehicle differs very littlefrom that of the front-wheel drive vehicle. When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that youkeep a sufficient distance between your vehi- cle and the one ahead of you.  The driving posture should be more upright; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wearthe seat belt.  After driving on rough roads, check each part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughly with water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera- tion” section and “Vehicle care and Mainte- nance” sections.

vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the condition of the tires. Pay close attention to the tires. Install only the specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-7. Be sure all four tires and wheels are the same size and type. When it is necessary to replace any of thetires or wheels, replace all four. All tires should be rotated before the wear difference between the front and rear tires is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a difference in wear between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on page 9-17.  Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
N00517500275
Overuse of the brake can cause weakening, resulting in poor brake response and prema- ture wear of the brake pads.When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by downshifting.
CAUTION Always use tires of the same size, type, and brand that have no wear differences. Using tires of different size, type, brands or degree of wear, will increase the differential oil tem- perature and result in possible damage to thedriving system. Further, the drive train will be subject to excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, orother serious failures.
To w i n g
CAUTION Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing. If you tow 4-wheel dr
ive vehicles, use Type
C or Type D equipment. Even in “AUTO” drive mode, the vehicle cannot be towed with the front or the rear wheels on the ground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WA R N I N G Do not crank the engine while jacking up the vehicle.The tire on the ground may turn and the vehicle may roll off the jack.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke that would be necessary in anemergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place.

 Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted situations where brakes are applied suddenly. This system may also prevent the wheels from locking whenyou drive over manh
oles, steel roadwork
plates, road markings, or any uneven road surface. When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel the brake pedal vibrat- ing and hear a unique sound. It may alsofeel as if the pedal resists being pressed.In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in reducedbraking performance.
N00531601701
Warning light Warning display If there is a malfunction in the system, the anti-lock braking system warning light will come on and the warning display will appearon the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display. Under normal conditions,
the anti-lock brak-
ing system warning light only comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ONand goes off a few seconds later.
N00531701669
 Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv- ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.Test the system by restarting the engine and driving at a speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher.If the warning light/display then remains off during driving, there is no abnormal condition.
CAUTION The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your responsibility to take safety precautions and to drive carefully. To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system, be sure all four wheels and tires are the same size and the same type.NOTE
 A whining sound is emitted from the engine compartment when dr
iving immediately
after starting the engine. These are the nor- mal sounds the anti-lock braking system makes when performing a self-check. It doesnot indicate a malfunction.
 The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle has reached a speed over approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stops working when the vehicle slows below 3 mph (5 km/h).

WA R N I N G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.NOTE
 During repeated full-lock turning of the steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking space), a protection function may be acti-vated to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make the steering wheel gradually harder to turn. Inthis event, limit your tu
rning of the steering
wheel for a while. When the system has cooled down, the steering effort will returnto normal.  If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi- cle is stationary with the headlights on, the headlights may become dim. This behavior is not abnormal. The headlights will return totheir original brightness after a short while.

CAUTION If the warning display appears while the engine is running, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer ora repair facility of your choice as soon as possible. It may become harder to turn the steering wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has limits and cannot helpyou to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accidents. It is the driver’sresponsibillty to drive carefully, This means taking into account the traffic, road and envi- ronmental conditions. Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire on all four wheels. Otherwise, theASC may not work properly. Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop functioning properly.

Forward Collision Mitigation sy
stem (FCM) (if so equipped)
5-100 Features and controls
5
N00577300079
The Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of acollision with a vehicle or a pedestrian straight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM uses a sensor (A) to determine the distance andrelative speed to a vehicle and a pedestrian in front. The FCM is not designed as an auto- matic driving system or as a collision avoid-ance system. When your vehicle is approaching a vehicle or a pedestrian straight-ahead in your pathand the FCM judges that there is the risk of a collision, the system will give audible and visual warnings.When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is imminent, the system will automaticallyapply moderate braking to warn you to apply the brakes immediately.
When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is highly unavoidable, the system will apply emergency braking to reduce the severity ofthe collision and, if possible, to avoid the col- lision. Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.
CAUTION Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for com- pliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Forward Collision Mitiga- tion system (FCM)
(if so
equipped)
WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitations of this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident. The FCM is designed to help avoid certain frontal collisions or reduce the crash speed in such collisions. It is not a substi-tute for your safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, the system may not operate or may not detect cor-rectly a vehicle or a pedestrian in front. When your vehicle is approaching a vehi- cle or a pedestrian too closely, take all nec-essary actions to avoid a collision, such as braking and steering, regardless of whether the FCM is activated or not.Never rely on the FCM to prevent a colli- sion. Never attempt to test the operation of the FCM. Doing so could cause an accident, resulting in serious injury or death.

N00577400054
If the system judges th
at there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or the pedestrian in front, this function warns you of the potential hazard with visual and audiblealarms. When this function is triggered, a buzzer sounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE”message appears on the information screen ofthe multi-information display. The FCM will also prepare to provide quick brake response and greater brake force whenyou apply the brakes. The forward collision warning function oper- ates at the following vehicle speeds:  Against a vehicle: Approximately 10 to 112 mph (15 to 180 km/h).  Against a pedestrian: Approximately 5 to 40 mph (7 to 65 km/h).
N00577700086
When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead isimminent, the FCM will automatically apply moderate braking to warn the driver to apply the brakes immediately.If the FCM judges that the collision is highly unavoidable, it will automatically apply emergency braking to reduce the severity ofthe collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-lision. While the FCM applies emergency braking, a buzzer sounds and “BRAKE!” message isdisplayed in the information screen of the multi-information display. Once the FCM braking has activated, the fol-lowing message will appear on the informa- tion screen of the multi-information display. The FCM braking function operates at the following vehicle speeds:  Against a vehicle: Approximately 3 to 112 mph (5 to 180 km/h).  Against a pedestrian: Approximately 3 to 40 mph (5 to 65 km/h).

FCM braking function

WA R N I N G If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking function will not operate. Refer to “Active stability control” on page 5-81. If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has been stopped by the FCM, a warning buzzer will sound and the brakes activated by theFCM will automatically be released. Apply the brakes as necessary to keep your vehicle stationary. The FCM will not activate and will not provide either warning or braking in cer-tain situations. Some of these include:• When the selector lever is in the “P”(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position.• When an object other than a vehicle or apedestrian is in front.• When the FCM has detected a problemin the system.• When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenlycuts in front of your vehicle.
 The FCM may or may not detect a motor- cycle, bicycle or wall depending on the sit- uation. The FCM is not designed to detect these objects. The forward collision warning function and/or the FCM braking function may not activate in certain situations. Some of these include:• When a vehicle suddenly appears just infront of your vehicle.• When a vehicle cuts into your path at aclose distance.
