Mitsubishi Connect Services is a subscription-based service that provides both remote and safety systems to make your driving experience safer and easier. After the initial trial period expires, you can easily extend this subscription at a discounted rate. We're going to look at how this system works and the benefits it provides. Mitsubishi Connect Services: Enhancing Your Driving Experience System Requirements This simple, easy-to-use system has four components: vehicle buttons, a downloadable app, a control unit, and access to a wireless communication network. One of the vehicle buttons connects you almost instantly to 24/7/365 emergency assistance, and the other allows you to access roadside assistance. The control unit is pre-installed in your vehicle and provides 4G LTE modem connectivity and a GPS. The Mitsubishi app is a free download for your iPhone or Android and rapidly paired with your vehicle using its VIN. The final system component is the wireless service to Mitsubishi that can be quickly and easily subscribed to. Once all these requirements are met, the system is active. Remote Services You can seamlessly connect to many of your vehicle's systems using the Mitsubishi Connect app. This allows you to access information about your vehicle and perform various tasks. You can remotely start or stop your engine, lock or unlock the doors, and sound the horn, all with just a button press on the app. Some services greatly assist if you have a teen driver. You can create curfew alerts to warn you if your vehicle is switched on during unauthorized periods. If this happens, you'll receive a message in the app. The geo-fence option allows you to set a circular geographic travel area, and the system warns if your Mitsubishi leaves this area. Finally, you can set a speed alert that informs you if your vehicle exceeds a specific speed. Safeguard Services These features provide notifications of important tasks and emergency assistance. If you need roadside assistance, Mitsubishi Connect personnel can quickly locate you using the GPS. In this situation, trained technicians will be dispatched to your location and can assist with changing a flat, lock-out services, fuel delivery, or other services necessary to get you back on the road again. If a collision occurs, an emergency message is sent to the Mitsubishi Connect Emergency Response Center. The alert provides your location and vehicle condition, and trained personnel will immediately contact you to provide any required assistance. You also receive instant notification if your vehicle alarm is triggered, and Mitsubishi Connect can assist law enforcement in locating your vehicle if it's stolen. If you'd like more information about these features or need any assistance with the system setup, contact us today at Peachtree Mitsubishi in Atlanta, GA.

How important is traction when you're driving? Ask the team behind Mitsubishi S-AWC Technology, and you'd likely get the answer that traction is critical for everything from fuel economy to safety, and plays a role in everything from cornering to off-road performance. Understanding Super All-Wheel Control: Mitsubishi S-AWC Technology Revealed The Critical Impact of Traction Whether you're navigating slippery or uneven terrain or simply driving into a corner, traction plays a major factor in how your vehicle performs. On uneven surfaces, the ability to prioritize torque to the wheels that have the most grip is key to maintaining forward momentum and stability. In curves, appropriately distributing traction increases precision and performance. In short: it doesn't matter how much force a motor makes if the wheels aren't gripping the ground correctly. Longitudinal Torque Distribution The distribution of power between the front and back wheels makes a big difference in how a vehicle performs when accelerating. Racers, for example, have long preferred the power of rear-wheel-drive vehicles to front-wheel-drive peers. The S-AWC system correctly and smoothly distributes the power between front and rear wheels for maximum control and precision when accelerating. Lateral Torque Vectoring Lateral torque vectoring is the art of correctly applying torque to the proper wheel when turning. When a vehicle turns, the inside and outside wheels must turn at different speeds to produce a curved direction of travel. Crucially, there are two major issues that can occur when turning. Oversteering is when the front wheels take a shorter path than the back wheels, adding unwanted yaw through the curve. Understeering is a failure of a vehicle to turn as quickly as the driver intends. Mitsubishi's S-AWC uses lateral torque vectoring to apply more torque to the outside wheels and less torque to the inside wheels when cornering, helping to minimize both understeer and oversteer. The result? More precise steering and a vehicle that goes where you want it to go. 4-Wheel Brake Control Brake force distribution is crucial in both turning and braking, especially when bringing a vehicle to a stop. Correctly applying braking to each wheel helps the vehicle stop in a straight line and also allows for maximum control. Moreover, when cornering, the S-AWC system can apply gentle brake pressure to the inside wheels, helping maintain solid through lines and incredible control when cornering. S-AWC Brings it All Together With many 4x4 or AWD designs, manufacturers separately enable or disable features like Traction Control, Cornering Control, and Stability Control. But with S-AWC, one system controls all of these subsystems simultaneously, offering the flexibility to combine one or more systems in response to your inputs and road conditions.
