Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehi-
cle in a safe place.
Test the system by restarting the engine and driving at a
speed of about 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher.
If the warning light / display then remains off during driv-
ing, there is no abnormal condition.
However, if the warning light / display do not disappear,
or if they come on again when the vehicle is driven, have
the vehicle checked by an authorized MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer or repair facility of your choice as soon
as possible.

The anti-lock braking system and brake force distribution func-
tion may not work, so hard braking could make the vehicle
unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in
a safe place and contact an authorized MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer or repair facility of your choice.NOTE

3 Power steering system
N00518000248
The power steering system has mechanical steering capability
in case the power assist is lost. If the hydraulic pressure is
interrupted for some reason (such as engine stalling), you will
still be able to steer your vehicle.
If the power assist is lost, you will notice it takes much more
effort to steer and that there is much more “free play” in the
steering wheel. If this happens, take your vehicle to an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
Active stability control (ASC)
(if so equipped)
N00559100105
The Active stability control (ASC) takes overall control of the
anti-lock braking system, traction control function and skid
control function to help maintain the vehicle’s control and trac-
tion. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on
the anti-lock braking system, traction control function and skid
control function.
Anti-lock braking system → P. 3 - 1 3 1
Traction control function → P. 3 - 1 3 6
Skid control function → P. 3 - 1 3 6
WA R N I N G
!
Never turn off the engine while the vehicle is mov-
ing, or your ability to steer the vehicle may be seri-
ously reduced.CAUTION
!
Do not leave the steering wheel turned all the way in
one direction. This can cause damage to the power
steering system.
CAUTION
!
Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on
the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has
limits and cannot help you to maintain traction and
control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless
driving can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This means taking
into account the traffic, road and environmental
conditions.
Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire
on all four wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not
work properly.
Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differen-
tial (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop func-
tioning properly.

If an abnormal condition occurs in the system while driving,
the warning display will be displayed at the same time.
CAUTION
!
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine.
Restart the engine again and check whether the
warning display, the display go out. If the warn-
ing display goes out, there is no abnormal condition.
If the warning display does not go out or appears
frequently, it is not necessary to stop the vehicle
immediately, but you should have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as
possible.

The set speed driving is deactivated automatically in any of the
following ways.
When your speed slows to about 10 mph (15 km/h) or
more below the set speed because of a hill, etc.
When your speed slows to about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
less.
When the active stability control (ASC) starts operating
(if so equipped).
Refer to “Active stability control (ASC)” on page 3-135.Also, the set speed driving may be deactivated as follow:
When the engine speed rises and approaches the tachome-
ter’s red zone (the red-colored part of the tachometer dial).

!
Although the cruise control will be disengaged when
shifting to the “N” position, never move the selector
lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving.
You would have no engine braking and could cause
a serious accident.
CAUTION
!
When the set speed driving is deactivated automati-
cally in any situation other than those listed above,
there may be a system malfunction.
Press the “ON OFF” switch to turn off the cruise
control and have your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice.

3 Tire pressure monitoring system
N00530200312
The tire pressure monitoring system uses tire inflation pressure
sensors (A) on the wheels to monitor the tire inflation pres-
sures. The system only indicates when a tire is significantly
under-inflated.
NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for
regularly checking tire inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tire inflation pressures as described in
“Tires” on page 7-23.
Each of the grommets and washers where the tire inflation
pressure sensors are mounted should be replaced with new
ones when the tire is replaced.
For details, contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
WA R N I N G
!
The compact spare wheel does not have a tire infla-
tion pressure sensor.
When the spare tire is used, the tire pressure moni-
toring system will not work properly.
See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon
as possible to replace or repair the original tire.

2. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
remains illuminated after you have been driving for about
20 minutes after you adjust the tire inflation pressure, one
or more of the tires may have a puncture. Inspect the tire
and if it has a puncture, have it repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possible.
NOTE
To avoid the risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensors, have any punctured tire repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If the tire repair is not done by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer, it is not covered
by your warranty.
Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray on any tire.
Such a spray could damage the tire inflation pressure sen-
sors.
Have any puncture repaired by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in
the following circumstances:
A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is
near the vehicle.
Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the
wheels.
The tire inflation pressure sensor’s battery is dead.
Wheels other than Mitsubishi genuine wheels are being
used.
Wheels that are not fitted with tire inflation pressure sen-
sors are being used.
Wheels whose ID codes are not memorized by the vehicle
are used.
Compact spare tire is fitted on a road wheel.
WA R N I N G
!
If the warning light / display illuminates while you
are driving, avoid hard braking, sharp steering
maneuvers and high speeds.
Driving with an under-inflated tire adversely affects
vehicle performance and can result in an accident.CAUTION
!
If a tire has a puncture, replace that tire with the
spare tire. Driving on a punctured tire could lead to
an accident.
The warning light / display may not illuminate
immediately in the event of a tire blowout or rapid
leak.

Information screen display list
N00557900037
When there is information to be announced, such as light reminder, the tone sounds and the screen switches to the displays shown
below. Refer to the appropriate page and take the necessary measures.
When the cause of the warning display is eliminated, the warning display goes out automatically.
Refer to Warning display list (With ignition switch in the “OFF” position) on page 3-198.
Refer to Warning display list (With ignition switch in the “ON” position) on page 3-200.
Refer to Other interrupt displays (With ignition switch in the “ON” position) on page 3-206.NOTE
In the following cases, a warning may be displayed on the information screen and the buzzer may sound for a few seconds, at
times.
This is caused by the system picking up interference such as strong electromagnetic waves or noise, and is not a functional
problem.
An extremely strong electromagnetic wave is received from a source such as an illegal radio set, a spark from a wire, or a
radar station.
Abnormal voltage or a static electricity discharge is generated by the operation of your vehicle’s electronics (including after-
market parts).
If the warning display has occurred a number of times, take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice and have the system checked.
