CAUTIONlIf the selector lever position display blinks
while you are driving, it is likely that a safe-
ty device is operating because of a malfunc- tion in the automatic transmission. Immedi-
ately have the vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.When the A/T (automatic trans-
mission) fluid temperature warning lamp comes on
E00615301236
The automatic transmission fluid temperature warning lamp comes on and a buzzer may
sound, when the automatic transmission fluid
temperature becomes abnormally high. Nor- mally the warning lamp comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and then
will go off after a few seconds.
CAUTIONl If the lamp comes on, reduce the engine
speed and stop the vehicle in a safe area.Then set the selector lever to “P” (PARK)
position and idle the engine until the warn-
ing lamp goes off. When the warning lamp goes off, resume normal driving. If the
warning lamp does not go off, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.Operation of the A/T
E00604201697
CAUTIONl Before selecting a gear with the engine run-
ning and the vehicle stationary, fully depress
the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from
creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the gear is engaged, especially when the en- gine speed is high, at fast idle or with the airconditioner operating, the brakes should on-
ly be released when you are ready to drive
away.
l Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at
all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency.
l To prevent sudden acceleration, never race
the engine when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.CAUTIONl Operating the accelerator pedal while the
other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause pre-
mature wear of brake pads.
l Use the selector lever in the correct shift po-
sition in accordance with driving conditions.Never coast downhill backward with the se-
lector lever in the {“D” (DRIVE) or sports mode} or coast forward with the selector
lever in the “R” (REVERSE) position.
The engine may stop and the unexpected in- crease in brake pedal effort and steering
wheel weight could lead to an accident.
l Do not race the engine with brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the A/T.
Also, when you depress the accelerator ped- al while holding down the brake pedal withthe selector lever in the “P” (PARK), “N”
(NEUTRAL) or “D” (DRIVE) position, the
engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation with
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position.Passing acceleration

NOTElWhen the drive mode-selector is set between
“2H”, “4H” and “4HLc”, the front wheel
and/or centre differential lock lamps blink
while the selection is in process. Take the following precautions when the indicationlamp is blinking.
• Keep the steering wheel in the straight
ahead position while making range selec- tions. If you attempt to drive forward with
the steering wheel turned, gear rattling or
shock may occur, cornering may not be smooth and the desired range may not ac-tually be selected.
• When the drive mode-selector is set be-
tween “2H”, “4H” and “4HLc”, while the
vehicle is stopped, the front wheel and/or centre differential lock lamps blink whilethe selection is in process. Drive slowly and normally after confirming that the
lamp is switched.
• If the front wheel and/or centre differen-
tial lock lamps blinking after a “2H” ↔ “4H” ↔ “4HLc” selection has been made
with the vehicle moving, hold the steering wheel in the straight ahead position andslowly depress the accelerator pedal sev-
eral times.
l The front and the rear wheel lamps will
blink during shifting process from “4HLc” to “4LLc” or vice versa, as the transfer pass-
es through the neutral position. Be sure to
operate the drive mode-selector until the
front and the rear wheel lamps illuminate
again.NOTEl When parking, apply the parking brake be-
fore stopping the engine and make sure that the front and the rear wheel lamps and the low range lamp are not blinking during shift-ing process between “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc”.
Otherwise, the vehicle could unexpectedly move even if the automatic transmission is
in the “P” (PARK) position.
l If, after a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selection has
been made, front and the rear wheel lamps continue blinking and the desired range isnot actually selected, return the drive mode-selector to its previous position. Place the
steering wheel in the straight ahead position, drive the vehicle forward, and release the ac-
celerator pedal. Next, hold down the clutch pedal (with manual transmission) or place
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position (with automatic transmission) and make the range selection again.
l If the low range lamp blinks when you at-
tempt to make a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selec-
tion, a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selection cannot
be made. Stop the vehicle and release the ac- celerator pedal. Next, hold down the clutch pedal (with manual transmission) or placethe selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position (with automatic transmission) and make the range selection again.NOTEl The Active Stability Control function is sus-
pended while “4LLc” is selected. The in-
dication lamp illuminates while these func- tions are suspended. It does not indicate a
problem. When “2H” or “4H” or “4HLc” is selected, this lamp goes out and functionagain. Refer to “ASTC indication lamp,
ASTC OFF indication lamp” on page 6-61.CAUTIONl If a problem is detected in the transfer sys-
tem, a safety device will activate. The front and rear wheel lamps will go out, the centre
differential lock lamp will blink rapidly (twice per second), and transfer shifting will
become impossible. Park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine for a few mo-
ments. Restart the engine. The lamp should resume normal operation. If the lamps con-tinue to blink, have the vehicle checked by aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.

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)* E00616701790
The active stability & traction control (ASTC) takes overall control of the anti-lockbrake system, Active Stability Control func-
tion and active traction control function to
help maintain the vehicle’s control and trac- tion. Please read this section in conjunction with the pages on the anti-lock brake system,
Active Stability Control function and active
traction control function.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 6-56
Active Stability Control function ® p. 6-60
Active Traction Control function ® p. 6-61CAUTIONl 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.CAUTIONl Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The Ac-
tive Stability Control function may stop functioning properly.NOTEl An operation noise may be emitted from the
engine compartment in the following situa-
tions. The sound is associated with checking the operations of the ASTC. At this time,
you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if
you depress it. These do not indicate a mal- function.
• When the ignition switch is set to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the engine is turned on.
l When the ASTC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the engine compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASTC is not active.
