WA R N I N GIT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYSWEAR YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLYEVEN WITH AN AIRBAG.• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-sengers properly positioned. Thisreduces the risk of injury in all collisions,and reduces the risk of serious injuries ordeath when the airbags inflate.During sudden brakin
g just before a col-
lision, an unrestra
ined or improperly
restrained driver or front passenger canmove forward into di
rect contact with, or
within close proximity to, the airbagwhen it begins to inflate.The beginning stage of
 airbag inflation is
the most forceful and can cause seriousinjuries or death if the occupant comes incontact with the ai
rbag at this time.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury inrear impact collisions, and in lower-speed frontal collisions because the air-bags are not designed 
to inflate in those
situations.• Seat belts reduce the risk of beingthrown from your vehi
cle in a collision or
rollover.
WA R N I N GIT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-ERLY SEATED.• A driver or front passenger sitting tooclose to the steering wheel or instrumentpanel during airbag deployment can beseriously injure
d or killed.
• Airbags inflate ve
ry quickly and with
great force. If the driver and front pas-senger are not properly seated andrestrained, the airbag may not providethe proper protection, and can causeserious injuries or death when it inflates.• To reduce the risk to the driver of seriousinjury or death due to a deployingdriver’s airbag, al
ways properly wear
your seat belt and ad
just the driver’s seat
as far back as possible, maintaining aposition that still 
allows the driver to
have good control of the steering wheel,brake, accelerator, 
and other vehicle con-
trols.• To reduce the risk to the front passengerof serious injury or death from a deploy-ing passenger’s airbag, make sure thepassenger always we
ars the seat belt
properly, remains seat
ed upright and all
the way back in the seat, and positionsthe seat as far back as possible.• Seat all infants and children in the rearseat, properly restrain
ed in an appropri-
ate child restraint system.
WA R N I N GAirbags inflate very
 quickly and with
great force. Do not sit on the edge of theseat or sit with your 
lower legs too close to
the instrument panel, 
or lean your head or
chest close to the steering wheel or theinstrument panel.Do not put your feet or
 legs on or against
the instrument panel.

Select the drive mode from the following 3types to suit the driving conditions.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv-ing skills.Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation”section on page 5-88 and take care to drivesafely.

The drive mode can be switched by pressingthe drive mode switch while the ignition is inthe “ON” position or the operation mode inON.If you press the switch, you can change thedrive mode in the order of 4WD ECO, 4WDAUTO, 4WD LOCK, 4WD ECO.
NOTE
On vehicles with lever 
type parking brake, if
the parking brake lever is pulled up while thevehicle is moving, the 
front-rear distribution
of driving torque contro
l will be temporarily
suspended, which will allow the rear wheelsto lock easier.

Function
4WD ECO
This is most fuel efficient modeNormal operation is 2WD, but 4WD will engage in the event of wheel slip.
4WD AUTO
All driving is in 4WD and the distribution of traction torque to each wheel is automatically controlled depending on the driving conditions.
4WD LOCK
This mode is for driving in slippery conditions, such as snow covered roads or on sand.Large traction torque is dis-tributed to the rear wheels to assist in getting out of slip-pery areas.

Drive mode-selector
 
CAUTIONDo not operate the drive mode-selector withthe front wheels spinning on a snowy road orin similar conditions
. The vehicle could
lunge in an unexpe
cted direction.
Driving on dry, paved roads in “4WDLOCK” mode causes increased fuel con-sumption and noise.

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

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.

 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.
S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control)
 (if so equipped)
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.

After operating the vehicle in rough road con-ditions, be sure to perform the followinginspection and maintenance procedures:Check that the vehicle has not been dam-aged by rocks, gravel, etc.Carefully wash the 
vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal in order to dryout the brakes. If the brakes still do notfunction properly, contact an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice as
 soon as possible to
have the brakes checked.Remove the inse
cts, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.After driving through water, check theengine, transaxle and 
differential oil. If
the oil or grease is milky or cloudybecause of water c
ontamination, it must
be replaced with new oil.Check the inside of the vehicle. If waterentry is found, dry the carpet etc.Inspect the headlights. If water is in theheadlight housing, have
 it drained at an
authorized Mitsubishi 
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.

Since the driving torque can be applied to thefour wheels, the driving performance of thevehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive isgreatly affected by the condition of the tires.
Pay close attention to the tires.Install only the specified tires on allwheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” onpage 11-7.Be sure all four tire
s 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 weardifference between the 
front and rear tires
is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot beexpected if there is a difference in wearbetween tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” onpage 9-20.Check the tire inflati
on pressure regularly.
CAUTIONNever drive through water that is deepenough to cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaustpipe. Do not change th
e selector lever posi-
tion while driving through water.Frequent driving through water canadversely affect the life
 span of the vehicle;
consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice and
take the necessary measures to prepare,inspect, and repair the vehicle.After driving through wa
ter, apply the brakes
to be sure they are functioning properly. Ifthe brakes are wet and not functioning prop-erly, dry them out by 
driving slowly while
lightly depressing the 
brake pedal. Inspect
each part of the vehicle carefully.

Cautions on the handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles Tires and wheels 
CAUTIONAlways use tires of th
e same size, type, and
brand that have no wear differences. Usingtires of different size, 
type, brands or degree
of wear, will increase the differential oil tem-perature and result in 
possible damage to the
driving system. Further, the drive train willbe subject to excessi
ve loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, orother serious failures.
