4-wheel drive operation

5-58 Features and controls

N00530600156

Your vehicle has been designed primarily for

use on pavement.

But its unique 4 -wheel drive system allows

you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads,

to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar

locations.

Not only does this ensure better handling on

dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-

tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow-

covered roads and when moving out of mud.

But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or

towing in rough conditions.

It is particularly important to note that 4-

wheel drive may not give sufficient hill

climbing ability and engine braking on steep

slopes. You should try to avoid driving on

steep slopes.

Also, you must exercise caution when driving

on sand and mud and when driving through

water because sufficient traction may not be

available in certain circumstances.

Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas

where the tires may get stuck in deep sand or

mud.

When turning a sharp corner in “4WD

LOCK” or “LOCK” position at low speed, a

slight difference in steering may be experi-

enced similar to feeling as if the brakes were

WARNING

 Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive vehi-

cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim-

its to the system and ability to maintain

control and traction. Reckless driving may

lead to accidents. Always drive carefully,

taking account of the road conditions.

 Improperly operating this vehicle on or

off-pavement can cause an accident or

rollover in which you and your passengers

could be seriously injured or killed.

• Follow all instructions and guidelines in

the owner’s manual.

• Keep your speed low and do not drive

faster than conditions.

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 the

condition 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 negligent

operation 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 little

from that of the front-wheel drive vehicle.

When driving on a snow-covered road or a

slippery, muddy surface, make sure that you

keep 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 wear

the seat belt.

 After driving on rough roads, check each

part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughly

with water. Refer to the “Inspection and

maintenance following rough road opera-

tion” section and “Vehicle care and Mainte-

nance” sections.

CAUTION

 Setting the drive mode-selector to “4WD

LOCK” or “LOCK” position to drive on dry

paved road will increase fuel consumption,

with possible noise generation.
