2015 MITSUBISHI L200 steering

CAUTIONlThe brake assist system is not a device de-
signed to exercise braking force greater than its capacity. Make sure to always keep a suf-
ficient distance between vehicles in front of
you without relying too much on the brake
assist system.NOTEl 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 remove
your foot from the brake pedal.
l When the brake assist system is in use while
driving, you may feel the brake pedal at-
tempt to resist, the pedal moves in small mo- tions in conjunction with the operation
noise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
firmly depress the brake pedal.
l When the active stability & traction control
(ASTC) indication lamp is illuminated, the
brake assist system may not function.Anti-lock brake system
(ABS)* E00607100775
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.
Driving hints
l With ABS fitted, steering during sudden
braking (when the ABS functions) dif- fers slightly from when the brakes are
not being applied.
Steer the vehicle carefully in these con-
ditions.
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 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 hear a
characteristic noise. Also at this time, you may feel as if the pedal attempts to
resist being depressed.
In this situation, to let the ABS work for you, just hold the brake pedal
down more firmly. Do not pump the brake. This pumping will result in re-duced braking performance.

Power steering systemE00607400387
The power steering system operates while the
engine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel.
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 an authorized MITSUBISHI MOTORS service point.WARNINGl Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is
moving. Stopping the engine would make
the steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.CAUTIONl Do not leave the steering wheel turned all
the way in one direction. This can causedamage to the power steering system.Active Stability & Traction
Control (ASTC)* E00616700344
The active stability & traction control (ASTC) takes overall control of the anti-lockbrake system, traction control function and Active Stability Control function to help
maintain the vehicle’s control and traction. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on the anti-lock brake system, trac- tion control function and Active Stability
Control function.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 6-45
Active Traction Control function ® p. 6-49
Active Stability Control function ® p. 6-49CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on the ASTC. This system,
like any other system, has limits and cannot
help you to maintain traction and control of
the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless
driving may lead to accidents. Always drive carefully, 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
ASTC may not work correctly.NOTEl After your vehicle is driven a short distance
after starting the engine, a click is heard from the engine compartment; however, this
is only the sound of ASTC being checked.
l Some vibration will be felt in the vehicle
body and a whining sound of a motor will be heard from the engine compartment when the ASTC functions. This is a normal result
of the ASTC operation, and does not indi- cate a malfunction.
l The ASTC does not operate while the ABS
warning lamp is illuminated.
l On vehicles with the rear differential lock,
the ASTC and ABS functions are suspended
while the rear differential lock is activated. ASTC indication lamp, ASTC OFF indica-tion lamp and ABS warning lamp are illumi-
nated while these functions are suspended. It
does not indicate a problem. When the rear differential lock is disengaged, these lamps
go out and function again.
Refer to “ABS warning lamp” on page 6-46,
“ASTC indication lamp, ASTC OFF indica-
tion lamp” on page 6-49.

Driving hints
E00616800039
When extricating the vehicle from mud, sand
or fresh snow, you may find that operation of
the ASTC prevents the engine speed from in-
creasing in response to depression of the ac- celerator pedal. If this happens and the vehi-cle remains stuck as a result, deactivate the
ASC function by pressing the “ASC OFF”
switch. The vehicle will then be easier to ex- tricate. (Brake control of the ATC function isstill working to prevent wheel spins when the
ASC function is deactivated by pressing the “ASC OFF” switch.)
Active Stability Control func-
tion
E00616900115
The Active Stability Control function is de- signed to improve the vehicle’s stability byrestraining its tendency to slip sideways (for
example, when rounding a curve in slippery conditions, or when the driver takes rapid
steering action to avoid an obstacle). It works
by controlling the engine output and brake on each wheel.
NOTEl On vehicles with rear differential locks, the
Active Stability Control function does notoperate when the rear differential lock is ac-
tivated.
“ASC OFF” switch
The Active Stability Control function is auto-
matically activated when the ignition switch
is turned to the “ON” position. You can deac- tivate the system by pressing the “ASC OFF”
switch when the vehicle speed is below 40 km/h (25 mph). To reactivate the Active
Stability Control function, press the ASC OFF switch again. It is strongly recommen-
ded that the Active Stability Control function
normally be kept activated.
Type 1Type 2
NOTEl If the vehicle speed increases to about
120 km/h (74 mph) with the Active Stability Control function deactivated, the Active Sta-bility Control function automatically starts operating. To subsequently stop the Active
Stability Control function, stop the vehicle
and press the ASC OFF switch again.Active Traction Control func-
tion
E00617000025
On slippery surfaces, active traction control function prevents the drive wheels from ex- cessive spinning, thus helping the vehicle to
start moving from a stop. It also provides suf-
ficient driving force and steering perform- ance as the vehicle turns at accelerated
speeds.
CAUTIONl When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy
road, be sure to install snow tyres and drive the vehicle at moderate speeds.ASTC indication lamp, ASTC
OFF indication lamp

The Active Stability Control function and ac-
tive traction control function share the same indication lamp.
