If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys- tem, the following indicator will turn on.
N00546300031
 When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing the acce
lerator pedal may not
allow the engine speed to increase. In suchsituations, temporaril
y turning off ASC with
the “ASC OFF” switch will make it easier to move out your vehicle.  If you continue to press the “ASC OFF” switch after the ASC is turned off, the “mis-taken operation protec
tion function” will
activate and the ASC will turn back on.
ASC operation indicator or ASC OFF indicator
-
ASC operation indicator The indicator will blink when the ASC is operating.
-
ASC OFF indicator This indicator will turn on when the ASC is turned off with the “ASCOFF” switch.
CAUTION When indicator bli
nks, ASC is operating,
which means that the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels ar
e beginning to slip.
If this happens, drive
slower with less accel-
erator input.NOTE
NOTE
 The indicator may turn on when you start the engine. This means that the battery volt- age momentarily dropped when the enginewas started. It does not
indicate a malfunc-
tion, provided that
the display goes out
immediately.  When a compact spare tire has been put on your vehicle, the grippi
ng ability of the tire
will be lower, making it
more likely that the
indicator will blink.

CAUTION The system may be malfunctioning. Park your vehicle in a
safe place and stop the
engine.Restart the engine and check whether the indicator goes out. If th
ey go out, there is no
abnormal condition. If
they do not go out or
appear frequently, it is
not necessary to stop
the vehicle imme
diately, but you should have
your vehicle inspected by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice as soon as possible.

CAUTION When towing the vehicle with only the front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off theground, do not place th
e ignition switch in
the “ON” position or
do not put the operation
mode in ON. Placing
the ignition switch in
the “ON” position or
putting the operation
mode in ON could caus
e the ASC to operate,
resulting in an accident.Note that the correct
towing method depends
on the transmission type
and the vehicle’s
drive configuration. For details, refer to “Towing” on page 8-17.

Tire pressure monitoring system (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-59
5
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 pres
sure 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 (if so equipped) is fit- ted on a road wheel.  A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
N00532900153
If new wheels with new tire inflation pressuresensors are installed, their ID codes must be programmed into the tire pressure monitoring system. Have tire and
wheel replacement per-
formed by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to avoid the ri
sk of damaging the tire
inflation pressure sensors. If the wheelreplacement is not done by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
, it is not covered by
your warranty.
N00533000236
Your tire pressure monitoring system oper- ates on a radio frequenc
y subject to Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Rules(For vehicles sold in
U.S.A.) and Industry
Canada Rules (For vehicles sold in Canada). This device complies with part 15 of FCCRules and Industry Ca
nada licence-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two con- ditions.  This device may not
cause harmful inter-
ference This device must ac
cept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
 Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray on any tire.Such a spray could damage the tire inflationpressure sensors. Have any puncture repaired by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.  Using the tire repair kit may damage the tire inflation pressure sensor. The vehicle mustpromptly be inspected and repaired by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer after using the tire repair kit.NOTE
NOTE
 Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambi- ent temperature. If the vehicle is subjected tolarge variations in ambient temperature, thetire inflation pressures may be under-inflated (causing the warning light come on) when the ambient temperature is relatively low. Ifthe warning light comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.
Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with new ones

CAUTION The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent the proper fit of the tire inflation pressure sensors, resulting air
leakage or damage of
the sensors.

N00523700403
The rear window defogger can be used when the engine is running. The indicator light (A) will come on whenyou press the electric rear window defogger switch. Electric current will flow through the heating wires on the rear window to helpclear away moisture or frost.
After about 20 minutes of operation, the sys- tem will shut off automatically.To switch the defogger OFF before 20 min- utes have passed, press the switch again. The indicator light will go
out and the defogger
will turn off. If you need the defogger for more than 20 minutes, press th
e switch again. This will add
20 more minutes.
NOTE
 Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. This could scratch the glass and wear thewiper blades prematurely.  Before using the wipers in cold weather, check to be sure that the wiper blades are notfrozen to the windshield or rear window. Using the wipers while the blades are frozen could cause the wiper motor to burn out.  If the wipers are left on the glass out of the parked position and th
ey become blocked by
ice or other deposits on the glass, the motor may still burn out even
if the wiper switch is
OFF. If deposits form on the windshield,park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine, and clean the glass so that the wipers can operate smoothly.  Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec- onds at a time. Do not
operate the washer
when the washer fluid reservoir is empty or the pump may fail.  During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze in the washer fluid reservoir. Otherwise the washermay not work or may be damaged.  Replace the wiper blades when they are worn. Use the proper size replacement blades. For further info
rmation, please con-
tact your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
