Super Select is the brand name of a four-wheel drive system produced by Mitsubishi Motors, used worldwide except for North America, where it was initially known as Active-Trac. It was first introduced in 1991 with the then-new second generation of the Mitsubishi Pajero.[1]
The system offers a choice of four rear- or four-wheel driving modes with both high and low ranges, selected using a lever mounted alongside the gear shift lever, both in motion or stopped (depending on the mode to be selected).[2]
The system differs significantly from 'traditional' 4WD systems in that it offers more driven-axle modes in both high and low ranges than most other part-time systems on the market. The system features 4 modes: 2H, 4H, 4HLc and 4LLc. On early models, a neutral position for the transfer case was also selectable.
