erly, the rest of the br
ake system will still
work, but the vehicle will not slow down as quickly. You will know this has happened if you findyou need to depress the brake pedal down further, or harder when slowing down or stop- ping, or if the brake warning light and thewarning display in the multi-information dis- play come on.

The disc brakes have an alarm that makes ametallic squeal when the brake pads have worn down enough to need service. If youhear this sound, have the brake pads replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
N00567300076
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who cannot depress the brake pedal firmly such as in emergency stop situationsand provides greater braking force. If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force than usual.
N00562600032
The hill start assist makes it easy to start off on a steep uphill slope by preventing thevehicle from moving back
wards. It keeps the
braking force for about 2 seconds when you move your foot from the brake pedal to theaccelerator pedal.
WA R N I N G Never coast downhill with the engine OFF. Keep the engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the engine while driving, the power brakebooster will stop working and your brakes will not work as well. If the power assist is
lost or if either brake
hydraulic system stops working properly, take your vehicle to an authorized Mit-subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.
Brake pad wear alarm
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.
Brake assist system
CAUTION The brake assist system is not a device designed to exercise braking force greaterthan its capacity. Make sure to always keep a sufficient distance between vehicles in front of you without relying too much on the brakeassist system.NOTE
Once the brake assist system is operational, it maintains great braking force even if the brake pedal is lightly released. To stop its operation, completely removeyour foot from the brake pedal.
The brake assist system may become opera- tional when the brake pedal is fully depressed even if it has not been depressed suddenly. When the brake assist system is in use while driving, you may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in smallmotions in conjunction with the operation noise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brakeassist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to depress the brake pedal. You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is suddenly or fully depressedwhile stationary. This does not indicate a malfunction and the brake assist system is operating normally.
