CAUTION The reclining mechanism used in the seat- back is spring loaded, and will cause the seatback to return quickly to the verticalposition when the lock lever is operated. When pulling the lever, sit close to the seat- back or hold the seatback with your hand tocontrol its return motion.
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of
an accident or sud-
den stop, all seatbacks should be kept inthe upright position while the vehicle is in motion. Seat belt performance during an accidentcan be adversely affect
ed if the seatbacks
are reclined. The more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor-mance will be advers
ely affected. If the
seat belt is not prop
erly positioned against
the body during an accident, there isincreased risk you will slide under the belt and receive serious
injury or death.

N00567300092
The brake assist system
is a device assisting
drivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly such as in em
ergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force. If the brake pedal is
depressed suddenly, the
brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.
N00517900338
The anti-lock braking system helps preventthe wheels from locking up when braking.
NOTE
 The hill start assist is activated when all of the following c
onditions are met.
• The engine is running. (The hill start assist
will not be activated
while the engine is st
arting or immediately
after the engine is started.) • The selector lever is
in any position other
than “P” or “N”. • The vehicle is comple
tely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed. • The parking brake is released. The hill start assist wi
ll not operate if the
accelerator pedal is
depressed before the
brake pedal is released.  The hill start assist also operates when reversing on an uphill slope.  When the hill start a
ssist is activated, you
may feel the operating sound or vibration from under the body. This is a normal result of the hill start assistoperation, and does not indicate a problem.
Warning indicator

ASC indicator
CAUTION If the warning is displayed, the hill start assist will not
operate. Start off carefully.
Park your vehicle in a
safe place and stop the
engine. Restart the engine and check whether theindicator goes out, in wh
ich case the hill start

ry to stop the vehicle
immediately, but th
e vehicle should be
inspected by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as s
oon as possible.
Brake assist system
CAUTIONThe brake assist system is not a device designed to exercise
braking force greater
than its capacity. Make
sure to always keep a
sufficient distance be
tween vehicles in front
of you without relying too much on the brake assist system.NOTE
 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 removeyour foot from the brake pedal.  When the brake assist system is in use while driving, you may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in small motions in conjunction with the operationnoise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake assist system is ope
rating normally and does
not indicate faulty
operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.  When the anti-lock brake system warning light is illuminated, th
e brake assist system is
not functioning.
