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 direction.
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.

CAUTION
l If the selected drive mode indicator is blink-
ing, the vehicle switches automatically 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-information
display.
Reduce speed, and if the indicator goes out
after driving a while, resume driving as be-
fore. If the indicator continues blinking for
more than about 5 minutes, have the vehicle
inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
