Problem
2
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
sand, mud or snow
WARNING
 When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be sure that no one is near the vehicle. The rocking motion may cause the vehicle to
suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders.
 Avoid revving the engine or spinning the wheels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle may result in overheating and transaxle failure.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking attempts, have a towing service pull the vehicle out.
Problem
The brakes are not functioning
properly after crossing a puddle
or stream.
The automatic transaxle makes
no gear change when accelerat-
ing. The initial movement of the
vehicle is slow when the vehicle
starts moving.
(for vehicles with automatic
transaxle)
2-8 Quick index
1. Slowly press down on the accelerator pedal to get your vehicle moving again. For an all-
wheel drive vehicle, set the drive mode-selector to the "4WD AUTO" or "4WD LOCK"
position (Electronically controlled 4WD), "SNOW" or "LOCK" position (S-AWC) and
then slowly press down on the accelerator pedal to get your vehicle moving.
2. If there is nothing to stop your tires from slipping, rock your vehicle out of the stuck posi-
tion.
Dry out the brakes by driving slowly while lightly pressing the brake pedal.
There may be a problem in the automatic transaxle.
Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice.
