The Active stability
control (ASC) takes
overall control of the
anti-lock braking sys-
tem, traction control function and skid control function to help maintain the vehicle’s controland traction. Please read

On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the drive wheels from spin- ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle tostart moving from a stopp
ed condition.
It also
provides sufficient driv
ing force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while press-ing the acceleration pedal.
N00559300019
The skid control function is designed to helpthe driver maintain control of the vehicle on slippery roads or during rapid steering
CAUTION If the warning display appears while the engine is running, have
the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice as soon as
possible. It may become harder to turn thesteering wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
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 driv- ing can lead to accident
s. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This means taking into account the traffic, road and envi- ronmental 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 differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop functioning properly.NOTE
 An operation noise may be emitted from the engine compartment in the following situa-tions. The sound is associated with checkingthe 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 malfunc-
tion. • When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is turned on.
 When the ASC is acti
vated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicl
e body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the engine compartment.This indicates that th
e system is operating
normally. It does not i
ndicate a malfunction.
 When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

2. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light remain
s illuminated after
you have been driving for about 20 min- utes after you adjust the tire inflation pres- sure, one or more of the tires may have apuncture. Inspect the ti
re and if it has a
puncture, have it re
paired by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon aspossible.
The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in the following circum- stances:  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 infla- tion pressure sensors are being used. Wheels whose ID codes are not memo- rized by the vehicle are used.  Compact spare tire is fitted as a road wheel.
 A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
N00532900081
If new wheels with new tire inflation pressure sensors are installed,
their ID codes must be
programmed into the tire pressure monitoringsystem. Have tire and
wheel replacement per-
formed by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to avoid the risk of damaging the tireinflation pressure sensors. If the wheel replacement is not done by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
, it is not covered by
your warranty.
 Once adjustments have
been made, the warn-
ing light will go off after a few minutes ofdriving.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 affe
cts 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 tirecould lead to an accident. The warning light / di
splay may not illumi-
nate immediately in the
event of a tire blow-
out or rapid leak.NOTE
NOTE
 To avoid the risk of damage to the tire infla- tion pressure sensors, have any puncturedtire repaired by an authorized MitsubishiMotors 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 dama
ge the tire inflation
pressure sensors. Have any puncture repa
ired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Moto
rs dealer.
NOTE
Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambi- ent temperature. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambient temperature, the tire inflation pressures may be under-inflated(causing the warning light / display come on) when the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the warning light / display comes on,adjust the tire inflation pressure.
Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with new ones
