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
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 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.

The Differential assembly that limits the frontleft-right differential
speed by operating elec-
tronic control clutch arranged in the transferassembly.The left-right differen
tial limiting function is
a function that enhanc
es driving performance
and vehicle stability by preventing idle spin-ning of a wheel when driving on slipperyroad or when the road surfaces of left andright wheels are different.The yaw control function is a function thatenhances vehicle corn
ering performance and
vehicle stability with
management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controllingthe drive power difference of the left andright wheels and the braking force when thevehicle does not turn
in response to steering
input, such as when the steering wheel isturned quickly or when driving on slipperyroad.

Function
AW C E C O
This is the most fuel efficient mode. Normal operation is in 2WD, but 4WD performance will be provided under slippery conditions.
NORMAL
This mode can be used on both dry and wet roads. The distri-bution of driving/braking torque to each wheel is auto-matically controlled according to the driving condition.
SNOW
This mode is for driving on slippery road surfaces, such as snow-covered roads.
LOCK
This mode is for driving where maximum traction is required. This mode is suitable for driv-ing on rough roads or driving in mud, sand or fresh snow.

When turning a sharp corner in “4WDLOCK” (Electronically
controlled 4WD) or
“LOCK” (S-AWC) position at low speed, a
slight difference in
steering may be experi-
enced similar to feeling as if the brakes wereapplied. This is called tight corner brakingand results from each of the four tires being ata different distance from the corner. The phe-nomenon is typical of 4-wheel drive vehicles.If this occurs, either straighten out the steer-ing wheel or change to another mode.Set the drive mode-selector to “4WDAUTO”, “4WD LOCK” (Electronically con-trolled 4WD) or “SNOW” (S-AWC) in accor-dance with the road conditions, and thengradually depress the ac
celerator pedal for a
smooth start.
WA R N I N GDo not over-rely on th
e 4-wheel drive vehi-
cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim-its to the system and ability to maintaincontrol 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 orrollover 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 avehicle. Before you le
ave the pavement, be
sure all scheduled ma
intenance and service
has been done, and that
you have inspected
your vehicle. Pay spec
ial attention to the
condition of the ti
res, and check the tire pres-
sures.Mitsubishi Motors is not responsible to theoperator for any damage or injury caused orliability incurred by improper and negligentoperation of a vehicl
e. All techniques of
vehicle operation depend on the skill andexperience of the opera
tor and other partici-
pating parties. Any de
viation from the rec-
ommended operating instru
ctions above is at
their own risk.
Note that the stopping distance required ofthe 4-wheel drive vehicl
e differs very little
from that of the front-wheel drive vehicle.When driving on a snow-covered road or aslippery, muddy surface,
make sure that you
keep a sufficient dist
ance 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 easysteering and pedal operati
on. Be sure to wear
the seat belt.After driving on rough roads, check eachpart of the vehicle and wash it thoroughlywith water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera-tion” section and “Vehic
le care and Mainte-
nance” sections.CAUTIONSetting the drive mode-selector to “4WDLOCK” (Electronically
controlled 4WD) or
“LOCK” (S-AWC) position to drive on drypaved road will increa
se fuel consumption,
with possible noise generation.
Turning sharp corners
NOTE
On snowy or icy roads
NOTE
The use of snow tires is recommended.Maintain a safe distan
ce between
vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak-ing (downshifting).CAUTIONAvoid sudden braking,
sudden acceleration
and sharp turning. Sk
idding occurs and con-
trol of the vehicle could be lost.
