(SHIFT UP) Transmission shifts up once by eachoperation.
2-
(SHIFT DOWN) Transmission shifts down once by eachoperation.CAUTION In sports mode, the
driver must execute
upward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep the engine speed below the tachometer’s redzone. Repeated continuous operation of the selec- tor lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter will continuously switch shift position. Shift ranges may not change when the lateral paddle shifters are operated at the same time.
NOTE
 Shift ranges can only be selected in a for- ward direction from 1st to 8th. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) posi- tion.  To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform anupshift when the selector lever or the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the “ (SHIFT UP)” side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse toperform a downshift when the selector lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the “ (SHIFT DOWN)” side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a downshift is not going to take place.  Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. Before the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically selected.  The upward shift may be made automatically in sports mode when the engine speed risesand approaches the tachometer’s red zone.

Operation of the CVT
CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, firmlydepress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as theCVT is engaged, especially when the engine speed or idle speed is high, or with the air conditioning operating.Do not release the brake pedal until you are ready to drive away. 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. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high revolutions when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).

N00541301118
S-AWC is an integrated vehicle dynamics control system that helps enhance driving performance, cornering performance, and vehicle stability over a wide range of drivingconditions through integrated management of the electronically controlled 4WD, the AYC, the ABS and the ASC. The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys- tem that improves acceleration performance and stability performance by controllingfront-rear distribution of driving torque with
operating the electronic control coupling arranged in the rear differential assembly. Refer to “Active Yaw Control (AYC)” on page 5-81.
N00542401116
Select the drive mode from the followingthree types to suit the driving conditions.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv- ing skills.Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation”section on page 5-72
and take care to drive
safety.
S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control)
(if so equipped)
CAUTION 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 and cannot help you to maintain 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.
Electronically Controlled 4WD

NOTE
 On vehicles equipped with lever type park- ing brake, if the parking brake lever is pulled up while the vehicle is moving, the front-reardistribution of driving torque control will be temporarily suspended, which will allow the rear wheel to lock easier.

4-wheel drive operation
Features and controls 5-73
5
When turning a sharp corner in “GRAVEL” position at low speed, a slight difference in steering may be experienced similar to feel- ing as if the brakes were applied. This iscalled tight corner braking and results from each of the four tires being at a different dis- tance from the corner. The phenomenon istypical of 4-wheel drive vehicles. If this occurs, either straighten out the steering wheel or change to another mode. Set the drive mode-selector to “SNOW” in accordance with the road conditions, and thengradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
Set the drive mode-selector to “GRAVEL” and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure onthe accelerator pedal as constant as possible, and drive at low speed.
NOTE
 Driving on rough roads can be hard on a vehicle. Before you leave the pavement, be sure all scheduled maintenance and service has been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to thecondition of the tires, and check the tire pres- sures.  Mitsubishi Motors is not responsible to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and negligentoperation of a vehicle. All techniques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other partici-pating parties. Any deviation from the rec- ommended operating instructions above is at their own risk.  Note that the stopping distance required of the 4-wheel drive vehicle differs very littlefrom that of the front-wheel drive vehicle. When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that youkeep a sufficient distance 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 easy steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wearthe seat belt.  After driving on rough roads, check each part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughly with water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera- tion” section and “Vehicle care and Mainte- nance” sections.
CAUTION Setting the drive mode-selector to “GRAVEL” and “SNOW” position to drive on dry paved road will increase fuel con- sumption, with possible noise and vibration generation.
Turning sharp corners On snowy or icy roads
NOTE
 The use of snow tires is recommended.
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak- ing (downshifting).CAUTION Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turning. Skidding occurs and con- trol of the vehicle could be lost.
Driving on sandy or muddy roads
CAUTION Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly on sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor- mal road surfaces, the engine and other drive-system components are put underexcessive strain when driving on such a sur- face. This could lead to accidents. If any of the following conditions occur while the vehicle is being driven, immedi- ately park your vehicle in a safe place andfollow these procedures:NOTE

N00517500275
Overuse of the brake can cause weakening, resulting in poor brake response and prema- ture wear of the brake pads.When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by downshifting.
N00517600364
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking force with less brake pedaleffort. Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power
assist is not being
used. If the power assist is not being used, the effort needed to press the brake pedal is greater.If you should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit
or either of the two
brake hydraulic systems stops working prop- erly, the rest of the br
ake system will still
work, but the vehicle will not slow down asquickly. You will know this has happened if you find you need to press the brake down farther, orharder when slowing down or stopping, or if the brake warning light and the warning dis- play in the multi-information display comeon.
N00550700124
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes ametallic squeal when the brake pads haveworn down enough to need service. If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WA R N I N G Do not crank the engine while jacking up the vehicle.The tire on the ground may turn and the vehicle may roll off the jack.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke that would be necessary in anemergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place.
CAUTION It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required. This practice can result in very high brake temperatures, pre- mature lining wear, and possible damage tothe brakes.
Power brakes
WA R N I N G Never coast downhill with the engine OFF. Keep the engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the engine while driving, the power brake booster will stop working and your brakeswill not work as well. If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic system stops working properly, take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice immediately.
Brake pad wear alarm
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.

This helps maintain vehicle drivability and steering wheel handling.  When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden braking), steering is slightly differentfrom normal driving conditions. Use the steering wheel carefully.  Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi-cle is equipped with the anti-lock braking system, leave a greater braking distance when:• Driving on gravel or snow-covered roads. • Driving on uneven road surfaces. Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted situations where brakes are applied suddenly. This system may alsoprevent the wheels from locking when you drive over manholes, steel roadwork plates, road markings, or any uneven roadsurface.  When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel the brake pedal vibrat-ing and hear a unique sound. It may also feel as if the pedal resists being pressed. In this situation, simply hold the brakepedal down firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in reduced braking performance.

Warning light
Warning display If there is a malfunction in the system, the anti-lock braking system warning light will come on and the warning display will appearon the information screen in the multi-infor-mation display. Under normal conditions
, the anti-lock brak-
ing system warning light only comes on whenthe ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON and goes off a few seconds later.
Driving hints
CAUTION The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your responsibility to take safety precautions and to drive carefully. To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system, be sure all four wheels and tires are the same size and the same type.NOTE
 A whining sound is emitted from the engine compartment when driving immediately after starting the engine. These are the nor- mal sounds the anti-lock braking systemmakes when performing a self-check. It does not indicate a malfunction.  The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle has reached a speed over approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stopsworking when the vehicle slows below 3 mph (5 km/h).

N00559301074
The skid control function is designed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle onslippery roads or during rapid steering
maneuvers. It works by controlling the engine output and the brake on each wheel.
N00559401336
The ASC is automatically activated when theignition switch is turned to the “ON” positionor the operation mode is put in ON. You can deactivate the system by pressing down the ASC OFF switch for 3 seconds or longer. When the ASC is deactivated, the indica- tor will turn on. To reactivate the ASC, momentarily press the ASC OFF switch; the indicator is turned off.
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicl
e. This system, like
any other system, has limits and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv-ing can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibillty to drive carefully, This means taking into account the traffic, road and envi-ronmental conditions. Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire on all four wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not work properly. Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop functioning properly.NOTE
 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 ASC. At this time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if youdepress it. These do not indicate a malfunc- tion. • 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 after the engine is turned on.
 When the ASC 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.  When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

N00577400083
If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or the pedestrian in front, this function warns you of the potential hazard with visual and audiblealarms. When this function is triggered, a buzzer sounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE”message appears on the information screen ofthe multi-information display. The FCM will also prepare to provide quick brake response and greater brake force whenyou apply the brakes. The forward collision warning function oper- ates at the following vehicle speeds:  Against a vehicle: Approximately 10 to 87 mph (15 to 140 km/h). Against a pedestrian: Approximately 5 to 40 mph (7 to 65 km/h).
 Against a vehicle: Approximately 10 to 112 mph (15 to 180 km/h). Against a pedestrian: Approximately 5 to 40 mph (7 to 65 km/h).
 The FCM is designed to help avoid certain frontal collisions or reduce the crash speed in such collisions. It is not a substi- tute for your safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, the systemmay not operate or may not detect cor- rectly a vehicle or a pedestrian in front. When your vehicle is approaching a vehi-cle or a pedestrian too closely, take all nec- essary actions to avoid a collision, such as braking and steering, regardless ofwhether the FCM is activated or not. Never rely on the FCM to prevent a colli- sion. Never attempt to test the operation of the FCM. Doing so could cause an accident,resulting in serious injury or death.WA R N I N G
