(6) When the MITSUBISHI active stabil-
ity & traction control system (M-ASTC)
starts operating (for vehicles with the
MITSUBISHI active stability & trac-
tion control system).
Refer to the“MITSUBISHI active sta-
bility & traction control system
(M-ASTC)”on page 5-57.
(7) When, on a steep slope etc., the
vehicle speed decreases to a speed
which is 15km/h (9 mph) or more below
the set speed.
(8) When the vehicle speed decreases to
40km/h (25 mph) or less.
WARNING
For vehicles with automatic trans-
mission, although the auto-speed
control can be turned off by mov-
ing the selector lever to the“N”
(NEUTRAL) position, never move the
selector lever to the“N”(NEUTRAL)
position while driving.
You would have no engine braking
and could occur a serious accident.
I10A124A
To resume the set speedIf the speed memory has not been erased,
resume the previously set speed by pull-
ing the auto-speed control lever up while
driving at a speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) or
higher.
Under either of the following conditions,
however, using the switch does not allow
you to resume the previously set speed. In
these situations, repeat the speed setting
procedure:
(1) The ignition switch is turned OFF.
(2) The main switch is turned OFF.
MITSUBISHI active stability &
traction control system
(M-ASTC)*
EI19A-Fa
The MITSUBISHI active stability & trac-
tion control system (M-ASTC) takes over-
all control of the anti-lock brake system,
active stability control system and active
traction control system to maintain the vehi-
cle’s stability and traction. Please read this
section in conjunction with the page on the
anti-lock brake system, active stability con-
trol system and active traction control sys-
tem.
Anti−lock brake system (ABS)→P. 5−45
Active stability control system→P.5-58
Active traction control system→P.5-60
CAUTION
•Do not over−rely on the M-ASTC.
Ever when the M-ASTC is operat-
ing, there are limits to how far it can
ensure vehicle stability; reckless
driving may lead to accidents.
Always drive carefully, taking
account of the road conditions.
•Be sure to use the same specified
type and size of tyre on all 4
wheels. Otherwise, there is a pos-
sibility that the M-ASTC will not
work properly.

indication lamp
The active stability control system and
active traction control system share the
same indication lamps.
The indication lamps should illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON”position and should go off after a few
seconds.
If the indication lamps stay on or do not illu-
minate when the ignition switch is turned to
the“ON”position, please contact your near-
est authorized MITSUBISHI dealer for
inspection.
lamp blinks when the active stability
control system or active traction control sys-
tem is operating.lamp is illuminated when the active sta-
bility control system is turned OFF with the
active stability control switch.CAUTION
(1) When
lamp blinks, the active
stability control system is oper-
ating, which means that the road
is slippery or that your vehicle is
accelerating excessively. If this
happens, lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal and maintain
moderate speed.
(2) If a fault occurs in the device, the
ABS warning lamp or
and
lamp illuminate as warn-
ing. Park your vehicle in a safe
place and stop the engine. Then,
start the engine again and check
whether the ABS warning lamp
orand
lamp go out.
If the ABS warning lamp or
and
lamp remains lit even
after the engine has been
started, have your vehicle
checked at an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer.NOTE
Immediately after reconnection of the bat-
tery cable, the
lamp will blink on and
the active stability control system will stop
operating.
If the vehicle is driven and the
lamp
goes off, the active stability control sys-
tem will again start operating. If the lamp
comes on again or comes on even though
the battery has not been disconnected, an
insufficient battery voltage or other prob-
lems may be the reason. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer.

Active traction control systemThe active traction control system main-
tains traction on slippery road surfaces by
automatically controlling the engine out-
put and applying the brakes so the driv-
ing wheels are prevented from spinning.
The active traction control system auto-
matically turns ON when the ignition switch
is turned to the“ON”position.
CAUTION
If the temperature in the braking sys-
tem increases excessively due to
continuous brake control on a slip-
pery road surface, a warning buzzer
will sound intermittently to warn the
driver. If driving continues in spite of
the buzzer and the temperature in the
braking system increases further, the
lamp will illuminate, the warn-
ing buzzer will sound continuously
for approximately 3 seconds, and
active traction control system opera-
tion will be suspended to protect the
braking system. (Normal operation of
the vehicle will not be affected.) If the
vehicle is stopped and the
lamp
goes off, the active traction control
system will start operating again.NOTE
(1) When the engine starts, a click is heard
from the engine compartment. This is
only the sound of the active traction
control system being checked. It does
not indicate a fault.
(2) When the active traction control sys-
tem operates, you may feel vibration
and/or hear the active traction control
system’s operating noise, which indi-
cates that the active traction control
system is working normally. They do
not indicate a fault.
(3) The active traction control system does
not operate while the ABS warning
lamp is illuminated.
I19B001A
Example indication: active traction con-
trol system controlling front−right wheelActive traction control system
operation indication lampThe
lamp (1) should illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned to the“ON”
position and should go off after a few sec-
onds.
If the indication lamp stays on or does not
illuminate when the ignition switch is turned
to the“ON”position, please contact your
nearest authorized MITSUBISHI dealer for
inspection.
When the active traction control system
operates, the active traction control sys-
tem operation indication lamp (1) flashes
and the indication lamp for the wheel (2)
being subjected to antispin control also
flashes.

NOTE
In the event of a fault in the active stabil-
ity control system, the
and
lamps
illuminate. As a result, an indication of the
active traction control system operation is
limited to flashing of the indication lamp for
the wheel (2) being subjected to antispin
control.
I19B007A
CAUTION
If the vehicle is towed with the igni-
tion switch in the“ON”position and
only the front wheels or only the rear
wheels raised off the ground, the
active traction control system may
operate, resulting in an accident.
When towing the vehicle with the
front wheels raised, keep the igni-
tion switch in the“LOCK”or“ACC”
position. When towing the vehicle
with the rear wheels raised, keep the
ignition switch in the“ACC”posi-
tion.
