S-AWC is an integrat 
ed vehicle dynamics 
control system that helps enhance driving performance, cornering performance, andvehicle stability over a wide range of driving conditions through integrated management of the electronically cont 
rolled 4WD, the AYC 
(Active Yaw Control), the ABS and the ASC.

CAUTION Do not operate the drive mode-selector with the front wheels spinning on a snowy road or in similar conditions 
. The vehicle could 
lunge in an unexpe

Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD LOCK” (Electronically controlled 4WD) or“GRAVEL” (S-AWC) and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure on the acceleratorpedal as constant as pos 
sible, and drive at low 
speed. 
Your vehicle may not pr 
ovide sufficient hill 
climbing ability and e 
ngine braking on steep 
slope. Avoid driving on steep slopes even though the vehicle is an 4-wheel drive vehi-cle.

If the electrical circuits become wet, furtheroperation of the vehicl 
e will be impossible; 
therefore, avoid driv 
ing through water unless 
absolutely necessary. If driving through wateris unavoidable, use th 
e following procedure:
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 ac
celeration 
and sharp turning. Skidding occurs and con-trol of the vehicl 
e 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, th 
e engine and other 
drive-system components are put under excessive strain when driving on such a sur-face. This could le 
ad to accidents.
If any of the follow
ing conditions occur 
while the vehicle is  
being driven, immedi- 
ately park your vehicle  
in a safe place and 
follow these procedures:• If the engine coolan 
t temperature display 
 flashes on the information screen in the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly. Refer to “Engine overh 
eating” on page 8-4.
• If the “ ” warning 
display and “SLOW 
DOWN” or the “ ” warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-informationdisplay. Refer to “Warning di 
splay” on page 5-72, 
5-79.WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be 
 sure that the area 
around the vehicle is clear of people andphysical objects. The rocking motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for- ward/backward, caus 
ing injury or dam- 
age to nearby people or objects.CAUTION
NOTE
 Avoid sudden braking,
 sudden ac
celeration 
and sharp turning; such operations couldresult in the vehi 
cle becoming stuck. 
 If the vehicle become
s stuck in sandy or 
muddy roads, it can often be moved with arocking motion. Move the selector lever alternately between the “D” (DRIVE) and “R” (REVERSE) positions while pressinglightly on the ac 
celerator pedal. 
 Driving on rough road can cause rust on the vehicle; wash the ve 
hicle thoroughly as soon 
as possible after such use.

Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking force with less brake pedal effort.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 twobrake hydraulic systems stops working prop- erly, the rest of the brake system will still work, but the vehicle will not slow down asquickly. You will know this ha 
s 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 a metallic squeal when  
the brake pads have 
worn down enough to need service.If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
N00592000080
When the vehicle is st 
opped at traffic lights 
etc., the vehicle can be 
 held stationary with 
the brake auto hold system even if yourelease your foot from the brake pedal. When the accelerator pedal is depressed, the brakes are released.
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 brakebooster will stop wo 
rking and your brakes 
will 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 Mit- 
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility 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.
Brake auto hold
 (if so equipped)
WA R N I N G
WA R N I N G Do not overly rely on the brake auto hold system. On steep slope, depress the brakepedal firmly because the system may nothold the vehicle stationary. Never leave the vehicle while it is being stopped by the brake auto hold system. When leaving the vehi 
cle, apply the park- 
ing brake and move th 
e selector lever to 
the “P” (PARK) position. Do not use brake auto hold system when driving on slippery roads. The system may not hold the vehicle stationary and could result in an accident. NOTE
 While operating the brake auto hold system, you may hear an operati 
on noise to increase 
braking force when the system detected the movement of the vehicl 
e. This does not indi- 
cate a malfunction.

The hill start assist makes it easy to start off on a steep uphill sl 
ope by preventing the 
vehicle from moving backwards. It keeps thebraking force for about 2 second when you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.

1. Stop the vehicle completely using the brake pedal. 2. Release the brake pedal and the hill startassist will maintain the braking force applied while stopped  
for approximately 2 
seconds. 
3. Depress the accelera 
tor pedal and the hill 
start assist will gr 
adually decrease the 
braking force as the vehicle starts moving.

Hill start assist
 (if so equipped)
CAUTION Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to prevent backwards movement of the vehicle.Under certain circumstances, even when hillstart assist is activated, the vehicle may move backwards if the brake pedal is not suf- ficiently depresse 
d, if the vehicle is heavily 
loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery. The hill start assist is not designed to keep the vehicle stopped in  
place on uphill slopes 
for more than 2 seconds. When facing uphill, do not rely on using the hill start assist to  
maintain a stopped position 
as an alternative to depressing the brake pedal. Doing so could cause an accident. Do not turn the igniti
on switch to the “OFF”, 
“LOCK” or “ACC” po 
sition while the hill 
start assist is operating. The hill start assist could stop operating,  
which could result in 
an accident.
To operate
 
NOTE
 The hill start assist is activated when all of the following c 
onditions are met. 
• The engine is running. (The hill start assist  
will not be activated 
while the engine is st 
arting or immediately 
after the engine is started.) • The selector lever is 
 in any position other 
than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). • The vehicle is comple 
tely stationary, with 
the brake pedal depressed. • The parking brake is released.  The hill start assist wi
ll not operate if the 
accelerator pedal is  
depressed before the 
brake pedal is released.   The hill start assist also operates when reversing on an uphill slope.
