●
Operation of ABS is not rest
ricted to situations where
brakes are applied suddenly. Th
is system may also operate
to prevent wheel lock when
you are driving over man-
holes, steel road-work plates,
or the vehicle is driven over
steps or level differences in
the road, road markings, or
other surfaces which are diffic
ult for the wheels to grip.
●
When the ABS is activated, you may feel the brake pedal pulsation and the vibrations of the vehicle body and steer- ing wheel. You may also hear
a characteristic noise. At
this time, you may feel as if the pedal attempts to resistbeing depressed. This is a normal result of the ABS operation, and does not indicate a problem.In this situation, to let the ABS work for you, just hold the brake pedal down more firmly. Do not pump the brake. This will result
in reduced braking perform-
ance.
●
When the engine starts and
after starting to drive, you
might hear operation noise fr
om the engine compartment
or feel a shock from the brake pedal. This is normal. The ABS is performing a self-check.
●
The ABS will operate after the vehicle has accelerated to a speed in excess of approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when the vehi
cle decelerates to low speed
below approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
CAUTION
!●
Even the ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on th
e vehicle. It cannot for
instance avoid accidents that
may result from exces-
sive speed on bends or fo
llowing another vehicle too
closely or aquaplaning. It should remain the driver’stask to observe safety pr
ecautions to judge speeds
and brake applications corr
ectly in such conditions.
●
Be sure to use tyres of the same type and size on 4 wheels. If tyre types or sizes are mixed, ABS may not func- tion normally.
●
Never install a limited slip
differential, which is not
MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine parts, as the ABSmay not function normally. We recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.

ABS warning lamp
E00607200532
The ABS warning lamp should illuminate when the ignition switch is turned “ON”, and should go off in a few seconds.
NOTE●
Depressing the brake pedal re
peatedly may turn on the
brake warning lamp, ABS warning lamp and brake warn- ing buzzer. (The ASTC indicat
ion lamp and active stabil-
ity control function OFF indication lamp also turn on.) Itis normal if the lamp goes out and the buzzer stops sound- ing after a few seconds.
●
On vehicles with the rear di
fferential lock, the active sta-
bility & traction control (ASTC) and anti-lock brake sys- tem (ABS) functions are suspended while the rear differential lock is activated. ASTC indication lamp,active stability control function OFF indication lamp, ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are illumi- nated while these functions are suspended. It does notindicate a problem. When the r
ear differential lock is dis-
engaged, these lamps go out and function again. Refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 3-13, “ASTCindication lamp” on page 4-64, “Active stability control function OFF indication lamp” on page 4-67.
CAUTION
!●
If the warning lamp stays on or does not illuminate when you start the vehicle,
it indicates that the ABS
is not functioning and that
only the standard brake
system is in operation. (I
n this condition the stand-
ard hydraulic brake system will still function.) We recommend you to have your vehicle inspected assoon as possible.

NOTE●
An operation noise may be emitted from the engine com- partment in the following situations. The sound is associ- ated with checking the operat
ions of the ASTC. At this
time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if youdepress it. These do not indicate a malfunction. • When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine isturned on.
●
When the ASTC is activated,
you may feel a vibration in
the vehicle body or hear a whining sound from the enginecompartment. This indicates that the syst
em is operating normally. It
does not indicate a malfunction.
●
When the anti-lock brake syst
em warning lamp is illumi-
nated, the ASTC is not active.
●
On vehicles with the rear di
fferential lock, the ASTC and
ABS functions are suspended while the rear differential lock is activated. ASTC indication lamp, active stability control function OFF indication lamp, ABS warning lampand brake warning lamp are ill
uminated while these func-
tions are suspended. It does not indicate a problem. When the rear differential lock is
disengaged, these lamps go out
and function again. Refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 3-13, “ABS warning lamp” on page 4-60, “Active stability controlfunction OFF indication lamp” on page 4-67.

Wheel condition
E01001800478
Check the tyres for cuts, cracks and other damage. Replace the tyres if there are deep cuts or
cracks. Also check each tyre for
pieces of metal or pebbles. The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous because of thegreater chance of skidding or h
ydroplaning. The tread depth of
the tyres must exceed 1.6 mm in
order for the tyres to meet the
minimum requirement for use.
Tread wear indicators will appear in six places on the surface of the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby indicating that the tyre no longer meets the minimum requ
irement for use. When these
wear indicators appear, the tyre
s must be replaced with new
ones. When replacement of any of the tyres is necessary, replace all of them.Replacing tyres and wheels

CAUTION
!●
Always use tyres of the same size, same type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres of different size, type, brands or degreeof wear, will increase th
e differential oil tempera-
ture, resulting in possible damage to the driving sys- tem. Further, the drive train will be subjected toexcessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other serious faults.CAUTION
!●
Avoid using different size tyres from the one listed and the combined use of di
fferent types of tyres, as
this can affect driving safety. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 9-13.
