WINTER DRIVING WITH MITSUBISHI

Winter is the longest but also the toughest season in Canada. Low temperatures and snow make driving more difficult for all drivers. To help you avoid an unpleasant winter, Saint-Léonard Mitsubishi offers some advice for this period.

Finding the right tires

All drivers in Quebec know that the law requires snow tires from December 15th to March 15th. Every year, we ask questions: Do I have to change my tires and which ones to choose?

To find out if your tires are suitable, check the depth of the grooves. Below a depth, you will have to change your tires. It can also happen that they are damaged by the time and the way they are stored.

In the case of a change to be made, each vehicle requires different tires. Between an Outlander and a Mirage, the advice will not be the same.

To receive the best advice, we invite you to get in touch with our service team who will be pleased to give you the best advice.

Mitsubishi All-Wheel Drive in Winter

The tires will also help you enhance your Mitsubishi All-Wheel Drive system. This system developed by Mitsubishi engineers is one of the best in the world.

This system has demonstrated all its qualities on wet and snowy roads.

he S-AWC system

The S-AWC is an improved version of the Mitsubishi All-Wheel Drive system. It proposes four driving modes:

NORMAL for everyday conditions,
SNOW for driving on snowy roads,
LOCK for off-road driving
AWC ECO which provides the perfect balance between efficiency and control.

The S-AWC system is unique. It does not only distributes power from front to rear to optimize grip, it also detects slippage on the axle. Thus, it deflects torque to the wheel with the most grip on the sliding side. The All-Wheel Control system continuously monitors the road and intelligently transfers power to the wheels with the most grip to improve handling in the toughest conditions, including driving on snow or ice.

Models currently equipped with the S-AWC system

Currently available at Saint-Léonard Mitsubishi, we offer models equipped with the S-AWC system:

– Outlander
– Outlander PHEV
– Eclipse Cross
