The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag aredesigned to deploy when
the vehicle suffers a
moderate to severe fro
ntal impact. A typical
condition is shown in th
e illustration to the
left.The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag aredesigned to deploy only in certain moderateto severe frontal collisions within the shadedarea between the arrows in the illustration tothe right.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbagwill deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s mainstructure is above a sp
ecific threshold level.
The threshold level is
approximately 15 mph
(25 km/h) for a frontal collision straight into asolid flat wall that does not bend or deform. Ifthe impact to the vehicle’s main structure isbelow this threshold le
vel, 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 you
always wear the available seat belt.

In certain types of front collisions, the frontairbags and driver’s knee airbag may notdeploy, even if the deformation of the bodyseems to be large, because the vehicle’s bodystructure is designed to
absorb the impact and
deform in order to help
protect the occupants.
Some typical situations where the front air-bags and driver’s knee airbag may not deployare 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

The seat belts in your
vehicle are your pri-
mary means of protection in an accident. TheSRS side airbags and curtain airbags aredesigned to provide
additional protection.
Therefore, for your safety and the safety of alloccupants, be sure to always wear your seatbelts 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 isdesigned to absorb the impact and to deformin order to help protect the occupants. Thereare also cases where the side airbag and cur-tain airbag may not deploy at the same time,depending on the location of the impact.Some typical situations
where the side air-
bags and curtain airb
ags may not deploy are
shown in the illustrations.
Since the side airbags and curtain airbags donot protect the occupant in all types of sidecollisions, be sure to
always wear the seat
belts properly.
The side airbag and curtain airbag are notdesigned to deploy in situations where theycannot provide protec
tion to the occupants.
Some typical situations are shown in theillustration.

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
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

tor (“4WD-E”, “LOCK”)
is blinking at the
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.

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.

If the electrical circuits become wet, furtheroperation of the vehicl

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 terrainbefore attempting to drive through it. Driveslowly to avoid creating excessive watersplashing.
Driving on sandy or muddy roads
CAUTIONDo not force the vehicle or drive recklesslyon sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor-mal road surfaces, th
e engine and other
drive-system components are put underexcessive strain when driving on such a sur-face. This could le
ad to accidents.
If any of the following conditions occurwhile the vehicle is
being driven, immedi-
ately park your vehicle
in a safe place and
follow these procedures:• If the engine coolan

sure that the area
around the vehicle is clear of people andphysical objects. The rocking motion maycause the vehicle to suddenly launch for-ward/backward, caus
ing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.NOTE

With the ACC turned on, push down the“SET -” switch while
driving, and when your
vehicle reaches your de
sired speed, release
the “SET -” switch. The ACC will activateand initiate the speed control to maintain theset speed.The set indicator comes on, the set speed isindicated and the follow
ing distance indicator
changes to the ‘active’ will sound.
You can set the speed anywhere from approx-imately 25 mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180km/h).While a vehicle in front
is being detected and
your vehicle speed is
between a
pproximately
6 mph (10 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h), youcan activate the ACC. In this case, the setspeed will be set at 25 mph (40 km/h).The ACC cannot otherwis
e be activated while
your vehicle is traveling less than 25 mph (40km/h) or greater than 110 mph (180 km/h).
