GLOSSARY OF TERMS used at Mitsubishi motors
Active Trac? Drive System
Montero is equipped with the Active Trac? drive system. This one innovative system offers the versatility of rear-wheel drive (2WD), all-wheel drive (AWD) and 4-wheel drive (4WD-High/Low) allowing the driver a variety of options when taking on challenging, low traction conditions (wet roads/gravel/mud/sand) or the daily work commute.
Adaptive Shift Control
Mitsubishi's innovative Adaptive Shift Control incorporates software to adapt to most driving conditions you regularly experience. Through advanced electronic programming, Adaptive Shift Control learns your driving habits and responds accordingly by altering shift points. The result is a car that knows how you like to drive and optimizes your experience behind the wheel.
Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS)
ABS helps to eliminate wheel lock-up during panic or emergency braking. When wheel lock-up occurs, the transfer of force between the vehicle's tire and the road is interrupted, which can make braking, steering and acceleration almost impossible.
With ABS, wheel speed is constantly monitored and a brief reduction of braking pressure occurs when impending wheel lock-up is sensed. By "pulsing" the brakes (up to 10 times per second), wheel rotation is modulated, helping to eliminate lock-up and maintain maximum driver control.
Clutchless Manual Shift Mode
Car buyers who have trouble choosing between automatic transmission or manual transmission can have the best of both with Sportronic? 4-speed transmission with Adaptive Shift Control. Its clutchless ?manual? shift mode offers easy, race-inspired shifting without having to operate a third pedal. By eliminating the usual ?H? pattern shifting method, Sportronic's? sequential shift pattern facilitates lightning-quick shifts. When in Sportronic's? clutchless manual shift mode, getting from gear to gear is as simple as pushing the shift lever forward to up-shift or pulling back to downshift.
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
Included as part of the available Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) for Montero, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) uses electronic controls to optimize the applied braking force between front and rear wheels for different surface and vehicle load conditions. This feature ensures progressive and more consistent braking pressure.
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Child Seat Installation
Lower anchors and tethers for child seats are safety enhancements that help simplify child seat installation. This system uses two lower anchors and one upper anchor, as opposed to a seat belt, to secure the child seat. A more convenient approach to helping you keep your child safe, lower anchors and tethers for child seat installation are fully compatible with newer child seats and are backwards compatible with many older child seats.*
Mitsubishi Active Skid and Traction Control System (M-ASTC)
Standard on Montero and optionally available for Endeavor AWD, the Mitsubishi Active Skid and Traction Control System (M-ASTC) helps you maintain traction on wet roads, while turning a corner too sharply or in other challenging driving conditions. Multiple sensors constantly monitor available wheel traction and alert the M-ASTC control unit, which works with the vehicle's anti-lock brake system to insure optimal traction by applying any of the brakes as required to help you stay on course. So you can travel in confidence no matter where you want your Montero or Endeavor to take you.
Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control (MIVEC) Engine
The Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control (MIVEC) engine offers fuel economy in city driving conditions without sacrificing performance.
How does MIVEC work? At lower speeds (less than 3,500 rpm), the MIVEC engine intelligently adjusts itself to offer crisp throttle response to accelerate you through the intricacies of city driving. As engine speeds increase, MIVEC takes on its sportier side and spreads the power delivery throughout the rest of the RPM range by allowing more air into the combustion chambers.
MultiMode Anti-lock (ABS) Brakes
MultiMode ABS on Montero offers dynamic, sure-footed anti-lock braking capabilities in inhospitable conditions and performs whether you're in 2WD, AWD or 4WD (high/low ranges). Isn't it nice to know that when you've gotten yourself into a situation that demands 4WD, you can have confidence in your brakes, too?
Refined Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) Chassis
The Lancer boasts Mitsubishi's innovative Refined Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) chassis, which offers structural rigidity (to prevent longitudinal twisting), integrated, energy-absorbing crumple zones, strategically applied reinforcements at key body points and steel side-impact door beams to give you added peace of mind. These features help cradle you every mile you drive, as well as contribute to the Lancer's dynamic handling.
Security Logic
Available on all models, Security Logic is a security feature that works with power door locks. If you turn your key or click the unlock button once, only the driver's door unlocks. Turn or click twice, and all doors unlock. Also, if you fail to enter your car within the allotted amount of time, it relocks. Security Logic is a simple, smart way to protect your vehicle?and yourself.
