Brake pad wear alarm
N00532500117
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes a metallic squeal
when the brake pads have worn down enough to need service.
If you hear this sound continuously, have the brake pads
inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice.NOTEWhen the brakes are applied, a faint noise may be heard,
but this is a characteristic of high-performance brakes; it
does not indicate a problem.
Brake assist system
N00567300034
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who can-
not depress the brake pedal firmly such as in emergency stop
situations and provides greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be
applied with more force than usual.
WA R N I N G
!Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to
stop, and can cause an accident.
CAUTION
!The brake assist system is not a device designed to
exercise braking force greater than its capacity.
Make sure to always keep a sufficient distance
between vehicles in front of you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.
