Refer to “If the gearshift lever position dis-
play is not showing” on page 5-60 and follow
the appropriate measures.
A safety device in the Twin Clutch SST has
been activated due to a possible malfunction
in the Twin Clutch SST or in the engine elec-
tronic control module.
Perform the following procedure.
1. Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
If the vehicle moves and accelerates normally
after this procedure is performed, there is no
malfunction.
However, if the vehicle does not move or
accelerate normally, or if this problem occurs
repeatedly, have the vehicle checked by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice as soon as possi-
ble.

All-wheel drive vehicles are propelled by
engine power distributed constantly and
appropriately to all four wheels.
Not only does this ensure enhanced handling
on dry, paved roads but also permits better
traction when driving on slippery, wet or
snow-covered roads and when moving out of
mud.
These vehicles, however, are not designed
for off-road use, and are unsuitable for
driving on bumpy ground that may cause
excessive strain.
All-wheel drive vehicles
should be driven only under the same condi-
tions as are suitable for ordinary front-wheel
drive vehicles.

Since driving torque can be applied to all four
wheels, the performance of the vehicle when
operating in all-wheel drive is greatly
affected by the condition of the tires.
Pay close attention to the tires.
 Install specified tires on all wheels. Refer
to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-5.
 Be sure to fit all four tires and wheels of
the same size and type.
When replacement of any of the tires or
wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
 All tires should be rotated whenever the
wear difference between the front and rear
tires is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be
expected if there is a difference in wear
between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on
page 9-18.
 Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.

CAUTION
 When the Twin Clutch SST fluid tempera-
ture is high, the engine idle speed when the
vehicle is stopped may increase or the vehi-
cle will have a weak tendency to creep.
After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid tem-
perature rises even higher, the warning
display will appear.
