After approximately 30
minutes has elapsed
with the ignition switch in the “ACC” posi-tion, the function automatically cuts out thepower for the audio syst
em and other electric
devices that can be op
erated with that posi-
tion.
When the ignition switch is turned from the“ACC” position, the power is supplied againto those devices.

N00513200216
Automatic transaxle will automaticallychange its gear depe
nding on road and driv-
ing conditions. This
helps achieve smooth
driving and excellent fuel efficiency.Also you can manually shift up and shiftdown the transaxle. Refer to “Sports mode”The transaxle prevents
unnecessary upshifts
even when the accelerator pedal is releasedand ensures smooth driving.According to the condi
tions, the transaxle
will automatically shift to a lower gear toachieve stronger engine braking. This mayhelp reduce your need to use the servicebrake.
N00513801424
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with an automatic transaxle have ashift-lock device that holds the selector leverin the “P” (PARK) position. To move theselector lever from the “P” (PARK) positionto another position, follow the steps below.1. Press and hold the brake pedal down.2. Move the selector lever to the desiredposition.
The transaxle has 6 forward gears and 1reverse gear.
The individual gears are selected automati-cally, depending on the position of the gearselector lever, the speed of the vehicle and theposition of the ac
celerator pedal.

DRIVING DOWNHILL

NOTE
During the break-in pe
riod or immediately
after reconnecting the
battery, your vehicle
may not shift smoothly.
This does not indi-
cate a problem in the transaxle. Shifting willbecome smoother once the transaxle hasbeen shifted several
times by the electronic
control system.
Selector lever operation

NOTE
The selector lever cannot
be moved from “P”
mode is put in OFF or ACC, or if the brakepedal is not pressed and held down.
Set the selector lever in the gate to operate while the brake pedal is depressed.

NOTE
Gears can only be selected in a forwarddirection 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, thetransaxle may refuse to perform an upshiftwhen the selector lever is moved to the“+(SHIFT UP)” positi
on at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of theengine, the transaxle may refuse to perform adownshift when the lever is moved to the “

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 automaticallywhen the vehicle slow

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 shiftertowards you.In sports mode, rapid

While the drive mode is in the “4WD AUTO”
ON, the drive mode will be changed to “4WDECO” mode.If the ECO mode switch is switched OFF, thedrive mode will be returned to “4WD AUTO”Refer to the “ECO mode switch” on page5-218.

S-AWC is an integr
ated vehicle dynamics
control system that helps enhance drivingperformance, cornering performance, andvehicle 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 performanceand stability performance by controllingfront-rear distribution of driving torque withoperating the electronic control couplingarranged 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, theEPS.*: 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

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 samespecified 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 the4WD system warning (overheating or ser-vice required) may displayed.

CAUTION
NOTE
If the drive mode is switched in any modeafter the drive mode is switched in “4WDECO”, the drive mode
will not be changed
even if the ECO mode switch is switchedOFF.

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 andcannot 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.

N00581500027
There are two ways to increase the set speed.The set speed will increase by 1 mph (1km/h) every time you push up the “RES +”switch while the ACC is activated. If youhold the switch pushed up, the set speedincreases in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments.
When the accelerator
pedal is depressed
while driving with the ACC control working,you can accelerate the vehicle beyond thepresently set speed.When the vehicle speed reaches your desiredspeed, push down and release the “SET -”
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 nosignificant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.
To increase the set speed

By using the “RES +” switch:

NOTE
There is some time
lag until the vehicle
begins accelerating to
the new set speed after
the set speed has been changed.The set speed can be changed even whileyour vehicle is followi
ng a vehicle in front
using the ACC. In this case, however,although the set speed itself is increased,your vehicle will
not accelerate.
When the switch is held, a buzzer will soundevery time the set speed changes

There are two ways to decrease the set speed.The set speed will decrease by 1 mph (1km/h) every time you push down the “SET -”hold the switch pushed down, the set speeddecreases in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments.
By depressing the brake pedal while the ACCis activated, the ACC c
ontrol is canceled and
your vehicle speed will decrease.At the point where the vehicle speed reachesyour desired speed,
push down and release
the “SET -” switch; the new speed is then setin the system.

celerator pedal, your
vehicle speed will return to the set speed,after the accelerator pedal is released. Whenthe accelerator pedal is released, the ACCbraking control and approach alarm func-tions may not i
mmediately work.
