CAUTION
l If the drive mode indicator (4WD) is blink-
ing, a problem has occurred with the elec-
tronically controlled 4WD system and the
safety device has activated. The warning dis-
play is also displayed in the information
screen in the multi information display.
Warning display (colour liquid crystal dis-
play)
Have an inspection made by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
For vehicles equipped with mono-colour liq-
uid crystal display meter, drive mode indica-
tor (“4WD-E”, “LOCK”) is blinking at the
same time.
l Be sure to use tyres that are the same speci-
fied size, type, and brand, and have no dif-
ference in the amount of wear for all 4
wheels.
Otherwise, the electronically 4WD system
may not work properly, and 4WD system
warning (overheating or service required)
may be indicated.
When the ECO mode switch is
ON
E00636000011
While the drive mode is in the “NORMAL”
position, if the ECO mode switch is switched
ON, the drive mode will be changed to
“AWC ECO” mode.
If the ECO mode switch is switched OFF, the
drive mode will be returned to “NORMAL”
mode.
Refer to “ECO mode switch” on page 5-62
NOTE
l If the drive mode is switched in any mode
after the drive mode is switched in “AWC
ECO”, the drive mode will not be changed
even if the ECO mode switch is switched
OFF.
S-AWC (Super All Wheel
Control)*
E00622601143
S-AWC is an integrated vehicle dynamics
control system that helps enhance driving
performance, cornering performance, and ve-
hicle stability over a wide range of driving
conditions through integrated management of
the electronically controlled 4WD, the AYC
(Active Yaw Control), the ABS and the ASC.
CAUTION
l Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the
SAWC cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle. This sys-
tem, like any other system, has limits and
cannot help you to maintain traction and
control of the vehicle in all circumstances.
Reckless driving may 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
The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys-
tem that improves acceleration performance
and stability performance by controlling
front-rear distribution of driving torque with
operating the electronic control coupling ar-
ranged in the rear differential assembly.
NOTE
l If the parking brake lever is pulled up while
the vehicle is moving, the front-rear distribu-
tion of driving torque control will be forced
to turn OFF which will allow the rear wheel
to lock easier.
