Mitsubishi ASX 2019

Electronically controlled
4WD system*
The electronically controlled 4WD system is
a 4-wheel drive system that allows one of
three drive modes to be selected with a
switch, in accordance with the driving condi-
tions.
The following drive modes are available.
Drive mode Function
2WD
This mode is for econom-
ical driving on normal dry
roads and motorway.
Driving in front-wheel
drive.
4WD AUTO
The default mode.
This mode is for automat-
ically controlling the dis-
tribution of driving torque
to all four wheels accord-
ing to the driving condi-
tions.
Drive mode Function
4WD LOCK
This mode is for driving
in slippery conditions
such as on snow-covered
roads or sand.
The large amount of driv-
ing torque that is applied
to the rear tyres enables
getting out of slippery
areas and powerful driv-
ing is possible across all
ranges.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv-
ing skills.
Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation”
on page 6-29 and take care to drive safely.
Drive mode-selector
The drive mode can be changed by pressing
the drive mode-selector while the ignition
switch or the operation mode is in ON.
By pressing the drive mode-selector, the
drive mode can be changed in order of
“2WD”, “4WD AUTO” and “4WD LOCK”.
The drive mode is displayed as an interrupt
display on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display when the drive mode is
changed.
After a few seconds, the information screen
will then return to its prior display.
