3Active stability control (ASC)
N00559100134
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 - 9 6
Traction control function → P. 3 - 1 0 3
Skid control function → P. 3 - 1 0 3
NOTEAn operation noise may be emitted from the engine com-
partment in the following situations. The sound is associ-
ated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this
time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you
depress it. These do not indicate a malfunction.
• When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is
turned on.
When the ASC is activated, you may feel a vibration in
the vehicle body or hear a whining sound from the engine
compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating normally. It
does not indicate a malfunction.
When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illu-
minated, the ASC is not active.
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.

Cruise control
(if so equipped)
N00518300544
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that keeps
a set speed. It can be activated at speeds from about 25 mph
(40 km/h). Cruise control does not work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).NOTECruise control may not be able to keep your speed on
uphills or downhills.
Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill. You may use
the accelerator pedal if you want to stay at your set speed.
Your speed may increase to more than the set speed on a
steep downhill. You have to use the brake to control your
speed. As a result, the set speed driving is deactivated.
CAUTION
!The system may be malfunctioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the dis-
play/indicator goes out. If they go out, there is no
abnormal condition. If they do not go out or appear
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.
CAUTION
!When towing the vehicle with only the front wheels
or only the rear wheels raised off the ground, do not
place the ignition switch in the “ON” position or do
not put the operation mode in ON. Placing the igni-
tion switch in the “ON” position or putting the oper-
ation mode in ON could cause the ASC to operate,
resulting in an accident.
Note that the correct towing method depends on the
transmission type and the vehicle’s drive configura-
tion.
For details, refer to “Towing” on page 6-21.
CAUTION
!When you do not wish to drive at a set speed, turn
off the cruise control for safety.Do not use cruise control when driving conditions
will not allow you to stay at the same speed, such as
in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered, wet, slippery, on a steep downhill
slope.On vehicles equipped with manual transaxle, do not
move the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion while driving at a set speed without depressing
the clutch pedal. The engine will run too fast and
might be damaged.

NOTEIn addition, the warning display is displayed on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information display.
CAUTION
!If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
does not illuminate when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode
is put in ON, it means that the tire pressure monitor-
ing system is not working properly. Have the system
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.
If a malfunction is detected in the tire pressure mon-
itoring system, the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light will blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. The
warning light will issue further warnings each time
the engine is restarted as long as the malfunction
exists.
Check to see whether the warning light goes off after
few minutes driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no prob-
lem.
However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it
blinks again when the engine is restarted, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. For safety reasons, when the warning light
appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp
turning and high-speed driving.
