The power steering system operates while thePlug-in Hybrid EV System is operating.It helps reduce the effort needed to turn thesteering wheel.The power steering system has mechanicalsteering capability in case the power assist islost. 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 moreeffort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi-cle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point.
If there is a malfunction in the system, thewarning display will appear on the informa-tion screen in the multi information display.

WA R N I N GzDo not stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV Systemwhile the vehicle is moving. Stopping thePlug-in Hybrid EV System would makethe steering wheel extremely hard to turn,possibly resulting in an accident.
NOTE
zDuring repeated full-lock turning of thesteering wheel (for example, while you aremanoeuvring the vehicle into a parkingspace), a protection function may be acti-vated to prevent overheating of the powersteering system. This function will make thesteering wheel gradually harder to turn. Inthis event, limit your turning of the steeringwheel for a while. When the system hascooled down, the steering effort will returnto normal.zIf you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-cle is stationary with the headlamps on, theheadlamps may become dim. This behaviouris not abnormal. The headlamps will returnto their original brightness after a shortwhile.

On slippery surfaces, the traction controlfunction prevents the drive wheels from spin-ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle tostart moving from a stopped condition. It alsoprovides sufficient driving force and steeringperformance as the vehicle turns while press-ing the acceleration pedal.
E00619101098
The stability control function is designed tohelp the driver maintain control of the vehicleon slippery roads or during rapid steering
maneuvers. It works by controlling the Plug-in Hybrid EV System output and the brake oneach wheel.
E00619201578
The ASC is automatically activated when theoperation mode is put in ON. You can deacti-vate the system by pressing down the “ASCOFF” switch for 3 seconds or longer.When the ASC is deactivated, the indica-tor will turn on. To reactivate the ASC,momentarily press the “ASC OFF” switch;the indicator is turned off.
CAUTIONzDo not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASCcannot prevent the natural laws of physicsfrom acting on the vehicle.This system, like any
other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain tractionand control of the vehicle in all circum-stances. Reckless drivi
ng can lead to acci-
dents. It is the driver’s
responsibility to drive
carefully. This means into account the traffic,road and environmental conditions.zBe sure to use the same specified type andsize of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, theASC may not work properly.zDo not install any aftermarket limited slipdifferential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASCmay stop functioning properly.NOTE
zAn operation noise may be emitted from thePlug-in Hybrid EV System compartment inthe following situations
. The sound is associ-
ated with checking the operations of theASC. At this time, you may feel a shockfrom the brake pedal if you depress it. Thesedo not indicate a malfunction.•When the operation mode is put in ON.•When the vehicle is driven for a while afterthe Plug-in Hybrid EV System is turned on.
zWhen the ASC is activated, you may feel avibration 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 operatingnormally. It does not indicate a malfunction.zWhen the anti-lock brake system warninglamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

which means that the road is slippery or thatyour vehicle’s wheels are beginning to slip.If this happens, drive slower with less accel-erator input.zIf the temperature in the braking system con-tinues to increase due
to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the indicator will blink. To prevent the brakesystem from overheating, the brake controlof the traction control function will be tem-porarily suspended.The Plug-in Hybrid EV
System control of
the traction control function and normalbrake operation will not be affected. Parkyour vehicle in a safe place. When the tem-perature in the braking system has comedown, the indicator w
ill be turned off and
the traction control function will start operat-ing again.
NOTE
zThe indicator may turn on when you startthe Plug-in Hybrid EV System. This meansthat the battery voltage momentarily droppedwhen the Plug-in Hybrid EV System wasstarted. It does not indicate a malfunction,provided that the indicator goes out immedi-ately.
