CAUTIONlIf the ABS warning or ASC warning is dis-
played, the emergency stop signal system may not operate. Refer to “ABS warning lamp/display” on page 7-29.
Refer to “ASC warning display” on page
7-33.NOTEl [Activating condition for the emergency stop
signal system]
It activates when all of the following condi-
tions are met.
• The vehicle speed is approximately
55 km/h (34 mph) or higher.
• The brake pedal has been depressed, and
the system judges that it was sudden brak- ing from the vehicle deceleration and theoperating condition of the anti-lock brake
system (ABS).
[Deactivating condition for the emergency
stop signal system]
It deactivates when one of the following conditions is met.
• The brake pedal is released.
• The hazard warning flasher switch is
pressed.
• The system judges that it was not sudden
braking from the vehicle deceleration and
the operating condition of the anti-lock
brake system (ABS).Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) E00607102489
Environmental conditions can have an effect
on braking. During sudden braking when there is snow, ice, oil, water etc. on the road
surface, a skid may occur. In this situation, steering control and braking effectiveness is
reduced and the stopping distance is in-
creased. The vehicle may also go into an un- controlled spin.
The ABS helps prevent the wheels from lock-
ing during braking, thus maintaining direc-
tional stability, ensuring controllability and
providing optimum braking force.
Operating hints
l Always maintain the same distance from
the vehicle in front of you as you would for a vehicle not equipped with ABS.
Compared with vehicles not fitted with ABS, your vehicle may require a longer
stopping distance in the following cases: • Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving with snow traction device
(tyre chains) installed.
• Driving on roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has other differences in surface height.
• Driving on bumpy roads or other poor
driving surfaces.
l Operation of ABS is not restricted to sit-
uations where brakes are applied sud-
denly. This system may also operate to
prevent wheel lock when you are driving over manholes, steel road-work plates,
or the vehicle is driven over steps or lev-
el differences in the road, road markings, or other surfaces which are difficult for
the wheels to grip.
l When the ABS is activated, you may
feel the brake pedal pulsation and the vi-
brations of the vehicle body and steering
wheel. You may also hear a characteris-
tic noise. At this time, you may feel as if the pedal attempts to resist being de-
pressed.
This is a normal result of the ABS oper- ation, and does not indicate a problem.
If this situation occurs, depress the brake pedal more firmly in order tooperate the ABS. Do not pump the
brake. This will result in reduced braking performance.

lYou will hear the operation sound of the
motor coming from the Plug-in Hybrid
EV System compartment immediately following start off after starting the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System. If the brake
pedal is depressed at that moment, you can feel the brake pedal pulsating.
This pulsation is due to the self-diagno-
sis operation of the ABS and does not
indicate a malfunction.
l The ABS will operate after the vehicle
has accelerated to a speed in excess ofapproximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops
operating when the vehicle decelerates
to a speed below about 5 km/h (3 mph).CAUTIONl Even the ABS cannot prevent the natural
laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. Itcannot for instance avoid accidents that may
result from excessive speed on bends or fol- lowing another vehicle too closely or aqua- planing. It should remain the driver’s task to
observe safety precautions to judge speeds and brake applications correctly in such con-
ditions.
l Be sure to use tyres of the same type and
size on 4 wheels.
If tyre types or sizes are mixed, ABS may not function normally.CAUTIONl Never install a limited-slip differential,
which is not MITSUBISHI MOTORS GEN-
UINE parts, as the ABS may not function
normally.
We recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.ABS warning lamp/display
E00607202321
Warning lampWarning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, the
ABS warning lamp will come on and the
warning display will appear on the informa- tion screen in the multi information display.
Under normal conditions, the ABS warning
lamp only comes on when the operation
mode is put in ON and goes off a few sec- onds later.
CAUTIONl Any of the following warning lamp/display
behaviour indicates that the ABS is not func-tioning and only the standard brake system
is working. (The standard brake system is functioning normally.) If this happens, takeyour vehicle to a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
• When the operation mode is put in ON,
the warning lamp does not come on or it remains on and does not go off
• The warning lamp comes on while driving
• The warning display appears while driv-
ingIf the warning lamp/display il-
luminate while driving
E00607302423
If only the ABS warning lamp/ display illuminate
l Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv-
ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the Plug-in Hybrid EV System
and check to see whether the lamp goes
out after a few minutes driving; if it then remains off during driving, there is no
problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it lights up again when the vehicle is driven, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible.

The power steering system has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-
son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-
cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your ve-hicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.WARNINGl Do not stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys-
tem while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the Plug-in Hybrid EV System would
make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.NOTEl During repeated full-lock turning of the
steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking space), a protection function may be activa-
ted to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering action will return to normal.NOTEl If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlamps on, the headlamps may become dim. This behaviour
is not abnormal. The headlamps will return to their original brightness after a shortwhile.

If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning display will appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi information display.
CAUTIONl If the warning display appears while the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operating,
have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.
It may become harder to turn the steering wheel.Active stability control
(ASC) E00616701468
The Active Stability Control (ASC) takes
overall control of the anti-lock brake system, traction control function and stability control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s con-
trol and traction. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on the anti-lock
brake system, traction control function and stability control function.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 7-28
Traction control function ® p. 7-32
Stability control function ® p. 7-32CAUTIONl 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 lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstan- ces. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive care-
fully. This means taking into account the traffic, road and environmental conditions.
l Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not work properly.

CAUTIONlDo not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.NOTEl An operation noise may be emitted from the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System compartment in
the following situations. The sound is asso- ciated 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 operation mode is put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is
turned on.
l When the ASC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys- tem compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active.Traction control function
E00619000087
On slippery surfaces, the traction control
function prevents the drive wheels from ex-
cessive spinning, thus helping the vehicle to
start moving from a stopped condition. It also
provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle turns while press-
ing the acceleration pedal.
CAUTIONl When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy
road, be sure to install snow tyres and drive
the vehicle at moderate speeds.Stability control function
E00619101098
The stability control function is designed to
help the driver maintain control of the vehicle
on slippery roads or during rapid steering ma-
noeuvres. It works by controlling the Plugin
Hybrid EV System output and the brake on
each wheel.
NOTEl The stability control function operates at
speeds of about 15 km/h (9 mph) or higher.“ASC OFF” switch
E00619201581
The ASC is automatically activated when the
operation mode is put in ON. You can deacti- vate the system by pressing down the “ASC
OFF” switch for 3 seconds or longer.
When the ASC is deactivated, the
display/
indicator will turn on. To reactivate the ASC, momentarily press the “ASC OFF” switch;
the
indicator is turned off.
CAUTIONl For safety reasons, the “ASC OFF” switch
should be operated when your vehicle is stopped.
l Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in
normal circumstances.
l In case you turn off the ASC to move out
from mud or sand etc., press the “ASC OFF” switch to activate the ASC quickly aftermoving out, and do not turn off the ASC un-
less it is necessary.

activated when shifting to the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position, never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position
while using regenerative braking as it
could cause a serious accident.
l When the parking brake is engaged.
l When the ACC is self-cancelled because
the system determines that its perform- ance has declined and it cannot operate
temporarily due to the following situa- tions, the driver is informed by a buzzer
and an indication on the screen. • Under adverse weather conditions
(rain, snow, sand storms, etc.)
• When the sensor is dirty or blocked by
snow and ice.
• When a preceding or oncoming vehi-
cle splashes water, snow or sand in front of the sensor.
• The brake pads are overheating.
• When you are driving in light traffic
with few vehicles and obstacles in front.
When the ACC returns to normal opera-
tion, the indicator is cancelled. If the in- dicator continues, there may be a fault in
the system. Please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
l When some problem occurs with the
system. (In this situation, the ACC con-
trol is automatically cancelled and the system is turned off. You are alerted to
this situation by the sound of a buzzer and a message on the display. If the mes-
sage remains displayed even after setting the operation mode to “ON”, please con-
tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.)

E00609901497
Cargo loads precautions
CAUTIONlDo not load cargo or luggage higher than the
top of the seatback. Be sure that your cargo
or luggage cannot move once your vehicle is moving. Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside the cab- in if you suddenly have to brake can cause a
serious accident or injury.CAUTIONl Load heavy cargo or luggage in the front of
the vehicle. If the load in the back of the ve-
hicle is too heavy, steering may become un- stable.
Loading a roof carrier
CAUTIONl Use a roof carrier that properly fits your ve-
hicle. Do not load luggage directly onto the
roof.
For installation, refer to the instruction man-
ual accompanying the roof carrier.NOTEl We recommend you to use a
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE roof carrier, since the
brackets to be used have a special shape. For details, we recommend you to consult aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.

Operating hints
l Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration. It is also recommended that you obey the local regulations in case driving speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro-ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a
blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.
CAUTIONl If the engine overheats, reference should be
made to “Engine overheating” section of
“For emergencies” prior to taking any cor- rective action.Parking
It is not recommended to park on a steep
slope while towing trailer.
If parking on a steep slope cannot be avoided,
the road grade should be less than 12% and
the following procedure performed. 1. Apply the parking brake firmly on the
vehicle and the trailer (if fitted).
2. Put the select position in “P”.
3. Place chocks or blocks at the tyres on
both vehicle and trailer.
4. Turn the front wheels into the shoulder
of the road to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Driving on long up hills while towing trailer
When the remaining quantity of the drive bat-tery is low, or high-speed driving on long up
hills at high temperature, the drive battery
output is restricted and the vehicle speed may be decreased.
The vehicle speed may be recovered if the
drive battery quantity is recovered.
