NOTE
 A warning may be displayed on the information screen and the buzzer may sound in the following rare cases.
This is caused by the system picking up interference such as noise or strong electromagnetic waves, and is not a functional problem.
• An extremely strong electromagnetic wave is received from a source such as an illegal radio set, a spark from a wire, or a radar station.
• Abnormal voltage or a static electricity discharge is generated by the operation of installed electrical equipment (including after-market parts).
If the warning display appears many times, consult an authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.

4-wheel drive operation*


E00606602546

By selecting 4-wheel drive, both axles of the vehicle are rigidly connected with each other. This improves the traction characteristics. When turn-
ing sharp corners or moving forward and backward repeatedly, however, the drive line is stressed, which is felt as a braking effect. A 4-wheel
drive vehicle can accelerate more quickly and smoothly.

Starting and driving 6-41


4-wheel drive operation*
However, note that the braking distance is not shorter than that of a rear-wheel drive vehicle.
When using 4-wheel drive on rough roads (snow, mud, sand, etc.), it is important to operate the vehicle correctly.

WARNING
 Control the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, steering wheel, etc. according to the landform and nature of the soil. The driver should accurately
grasp the surrounding circumstances and drive carefully according to the respective circumstances. Especially, the off-road may lead to loss of
control and roll onto vehicle’s side or roof, which may cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury or death in the worst case.

6 NOTE
 The driving posture should be more upright and closer to the wheel than usual; 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 “Vehicle care” section and “Inspection and
maintenance following rough road operation” on page 6-47.

CAUTION
 When driving on the off-road, confirm the conditions of the road surface and the landscape, and drive after confirming that the components of the suspen-
