| Q |
Don’t most other SUVs have full-time 4WD? |
| A |
Pajero / Montero’s SS4 II adds to full-time 4WD by providing high and low settings, and by giving the ability to use 2WD. Drivers can use 4WD anytime, but 2WD is quieter and more efficient (2.5% more than 4WD) for city driving. |

| Q |
Can I switch from 2WD to 4WD while driving? |
| A |
SS4 II’s synchro freewheel differential allows changing between 2WD, 4WD and 4HLc modes at speeds up to 100km/h simply using the transfer lever. To switch to 4LLc mode, the car must be stopped |

| Q |
Can ASTC be used with the rear differential lock? |
| A |
With the rear differential is locked, ASTC is automatically turned off. ASTC provides slip control like the differential lock does, but for very rough conditions the rear differential lock is more effective. |

|
| Q |
Why isn’t the premium sound system available on the 3-Door model? |
| A |
The premium sound system depends on speaker and subwoofer position to create the proper effect. The 3-Door model does not have enough interior space to create the right sound quality. To do so would take up too much of the cargo area. |
| |
|
| Q |
Is it longer than previous models? |
| A |
The overall length is 70mm longer than previous models, but this is mainly due to the design of the rear number plate. The length from bumper to bumper is only 15mm longer. |

|
| Q |
Haven’t many SUV’s been moving the spare to the under floor compartment? |
| A |
Moving the spare tire to the under floor compartment the vehicle makes it more difficult to check the tire’s condition. Also, when going off-road, the exterior placement makes the spare tire readily available if needed. This is because Pajero / Montero still intends to remain a true off-road vehicle. |

|
| Q |
Where are the lighter and ashtray? |
| A |
As smoking is becoming less popular around the world, the lighter and ashtray are now optional items. The cup-type ashtrays in the second row may also be used as cup holders. |

|
| Q |
Are there safety features besides the RISE Body and airbags? |
| A |
In the event of an accident, the pedal collapses into the floor to protect the driver’s legs and feet. The steering wheel column also collapses to protect against chest injuries. |
