S-Awc (Super-All Wheel Control) (If So Equipped) - Mitsubishi Outlander 2017 Owner's Manual

CAUTION
 If the drive mode indicator (4WD) is blink-
ing, a problem has occurred with the elec-
tronically controlled 4WD. A warning will
also be displayed in the information screen
in the multi information display.
Warning display (color liquid crystal dis-
play)
Have your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
For vehicles equipped with mono-color liq-
uid crystal display meter, drive mode indica-
tor ("4WD-E", "LOCK") is blinking at the
same time.
 Make sure that all four tires are the same
specified size, type, and brand, and have no
significant difference in the amount of wear.
Otherwise, the electronically controlled
4WD system may not work properly, and the
4WD system warning (overheating or ser-
vice required) may displayed.
When the ECO mode switch is
ON
While the drive mode is in the "4WD AUTO"
position, if the ECO mode switch is switched
ON, the drive mode will be changed to "4WD
ECO" mode.
If the ECO mode switch is switched OFF, the
drive mode will be returned to "4WD AUTO"
mode.
Refer to the "ECO mode switch" on page
5-231.
NOTE
 If the drive mode is switched in any mode
after the drive mode is switched in "4WD
ECO", the drive mode will not be changed
even if the ECO mode switch is switched
OFF.
S-AWC (Super-All Wheel
Control)
(if so equipped)
S-AWC is an integrated vehicle dynamics
control system that helps enhance driving
performance, cornering performance, and
vehicle stability over a wide range of driving
conditions through integrated management of
the electronically controlled 4WD, the AYC
(Active Yaw Control), the ABS and the ASC.

CAUTION
 Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S-
AWC cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle. This sys-
tem, like any other system, has limits and
cannot help you to maintain traction and con-
trol of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reck-
less driving can lead to accidents. It is the
driver's responsibility to drive carefully.
This means taking into account the traffic,
road and environmental conditions.
Electronically Controlled 4WD
The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys-
tem that improves acceleration performance
and stability performance by controlling
front-rear distribution of driving torque with
N00541301088
operating the electronic control coupling
arranged in the rear differential assembly.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)
The AYC is a system, with a left-right differ-
ential limiting function and yaw control func-
tion, that controls
driving/braking force by managing the AFD*
(Active Front Differential), the brake, the
EPS.
