E00626001073
This is a device that reduces the possibility ofrear end collisions by the rapid and automaticblinking of the hazard warning lamps to alertvehicles approaching from behind duringsudden braking. When the emergency stopsignal system operates, the hazard warningindicator lamp in the instrument clusterblinks rapidly at the same time.

Environmental conditions can have an effecton braking. During sudden braking whenthere is snow, ice, oil, water etc. on the roadsurface, a skid may occur. In this situation,steering control and braking effectiveness isreduced and the stopping distance isincreased. The vehicle may also go into anuncontrolled spin.The ABS helps prevent the wheels from lock-ing during braking, thus maintaining direc-
tional stability, ensuring controllability andproviding optimum braking force.zAlways maintain the same distance fromthe vehicle in front of you as you wouldfor a vehicle not equipped with ABS.Compared with vehicles not fitted withABS, your vehicle may require a longerstopping distance in the following cases:•Driving on gravel or snow-coveredroads.• Driving with snow traction device (tyrechains) installed.•Driving on roads where the road surfaceis pitted or has other differences in sur-face height.• Driving on bumpy roads or other poordriving surfaces.
zOperation of ABS is not restricted to situ-ations where brakes are applied suddenly.This system may also operate to preventwheel lock when you are driving overmanholes, steel road-work plates, or thevehicle is driven over steps or level differ-ences in the road, road markings, or othersurfaces which are difficult for the wheelsto grip.

When you move the selectorlever to any other position, the screen willreturn to its original indication.
Reference lines and upper surface of the rearbumper (A) are displayed on the screen. zRed line (B) indicates approximately 50cm behind the rear bumper.zTw o G r e e n l i n e s ( C ) i n d i c a t e a p p r o x i -mately 20 cm outside of the vehicle body.zShort transverse lines (1 to 3) indicate dis-tance from the rear bumper.
How to use the rear-view cam-era
CAUTIONzThe rear-view camera has a special lens thatcan make objects show
n on the screen appear
to be closer or further away than they actu-ally are.
NOTE
zBecause the rear-view camera has a speciallens, the lines on the
ground between parking
spaces may not look parallel on the screen.zIn the following situations, the screen indica-tion may be difficult to see. There is noabnormality.•Low light (nighttime)•When the light of the sun or the light from avehicle’s headlamps shin
es directly into the
lens
zIf the camera is hot and is then cooled byrain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. Thisphenomenon does not i
ndicate a malfunc-
tion.zIt is not possible to
fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes contami-nated by water droplets, snow, mud, or oil,wipe off the contamination, taking care notto scratch the lens.zPlease observe the following cautions.

allow air to cool the brakes between applica-tions.Furthermore, it might be able to reduce theload of the brakes by using the regenerativebrake force.Leave plenty of room between the front ofyour vehicle and the preceding vehicle.If the caravan begins to sway or becomes dif-ficult to handle, gently slow down or applythe independent trailer brakes (if fitted) NOTthe vehicle brakes. Stop the vehicle andtrailer in a safe location. Examine the tyres ofthe trailer closely for damage. If you find thedamage of tyre, it is recommended that tyresbe inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point or a tyre retailerbefore proceeding further. Note that treadseparation [separation of the tread band fromthe body of the tyre] of trailer tyres which areaged, and/or loaded near their load limit, canbe difficult to detect, especially on caravanswhere tyres are covered.One cause of swaying is poor trailer balanceand until this has been overcome the swayingwill recur. Relocate the load in your trailer orcaravan and re-assess the problem.If the wheels of your vehicle, the trailer orcaravan leave the road surface and enter the
unsealed edge of the road, resist the urge topull it back quickly. Wait for a section wherethe levels of the road and unsealed edge arecomparable and then ease back onto thesealed section of the road with as little swayas possible.Try to maximise the distance between yourcaravan and passing or overtaking semi-trail-ers or other heavy vehicles. This will reducethe suction forces between the two and mini-mise disturbance of the caravan.Do not apply the brakes severely, be alert andanticipate trouble far enough ahead to enableyou to apply the brakes smoothly and evenly.Do not make any manoeuvres before ensuringthat the road behind and in front of your vehi-cle is clear.This will normally occur as a result of somemechanical failure. If your vehicle shouldoverheat, stop and check for a loose or brokenwater pump drive belt/ oil pump/cooling oil, ablocked radiator air intake or a low coolantlevel. If these items are satisfactory the over-heating could be caused by a number of
mechanical causes that would have to bechecked at a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point.If your vehicle is in good mechanical condi-tion and it overheats due to heavy traffic con-ditions or high air temperatures, additionalcooling may be obtained by the followingmethods:zReduce your speed by 15 km/h if towingat high speeds.

Braking Overheating
CAUTIONzIf the engine overheats,
reference should be
made to “Engine overheating” section of“For emergencies” prior to taking any cor-rective action.
