CAUTION
l
Do not operate the drive mode-selector
with the front wheels spinning on a
snowy road or in similar conditions. The
vehicle could lunge in an unexpected di-
rection.
l
Driving on dry, paved roads in “4WD
LOCK” mode causes increased fuel con-
sumption and noise.
l
Do not drive with the tyres spinning in
“2WD” mode.
Doing so could generate heat in the drive-
system components.
NOTE
l
The drive mode can be switched while driv-
ing or stopped.

Normally the indicator illuminates when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position, and then
the drive mode is displayed a few seconds after the
engine is started.
The status of each drive mode display is as follows.

CAUTION
l
If the selected drive mode indicator is
blinking, the vehicle switches automatical-
ly to front-wheel drive in order to protect
the drive-system components, and drive
mode selection is no longer possible with
the drive mode-selector.
The warning display is also displayed in
the information screen in the multi-infor-
mation display.
Reduce speed, and if the indicator goes
out after driving a while, resume driving
as before. If the indicator continues blink-
ing for more than about 5 minutes, have
the vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
