Winter driving can be challenging, but Mitsubishi’s Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) system is designed to give you enhanced stability and control on slippery roads. Understanding how to use this advanced technology effectively can make a significant difference in your safety and confidence during cold weather conditions.

What is the S-AWC System?

The Super All-Wheel Control system integrates multiple vehicle technologies like Active Center Differential, Active Stability Control, and Anti-lock Braking System to optimize traction and handling. It continuously monitors driving conditions and adjusts power delivery to each wheel, helping you maintain control on snow and ice.

Tips for Using S-AWC Effectively in Winter

  • Drive Smoothly: Avoid sudden acceleration, braking, or sharp turns. Smooth inputs allow the S-AWC system to respond optimally.
  • Use Winter Tires: Even with S-AWC, appropriate winter tires significantly improve grip and safety.
  • Understand Your Vehicle’s Modes: Some Mitsubishi models let you choose drive modes. Select the mode designed for slippery or snowy conditions for maximum stability.
  • Maintain a Safe Distance: The system aids control but does not reduce stopping distances on ice or snow. Keep extra space between vehicles.
  • Regular Maintenance: Ensure your braking and traction systems are well maintained for peak S-AWC performance.

By combining Mitsubishi’s S-AWC technology with careful winter driving habits, you can tackle cold weather roads with greater confidence and safety. For more advice on vehicle preparation, visit Everyday Mitsubishi.
