NOTEl When the engine is automatically stopped,
changes will occur in the driving operations.
Pay closel attention to the following.
• The brake booster becomes inoperative
and the pedal effort will increase. If the
vehicle is moving, press down the brake pedal harder than usual.
• The electric power steering system (EPS)
becomes inoperative and it will become
harder to turn the steering wheel.CAUTIONl Observe the following precautions when the
engine is stopped automatically. Otherwise,
an unexpected accident might occur when the engine restarts automatically.
• Do not depress the accelerator pedal to
race the engine while the vehicle is stop-
ped (regardless of whether the engine is running or stopped).
Otherwise, an unexpected accident might
occur when the engine restarts automati- cally.
• When the engine is automatically stopped,
do not attempt to exit the vehicle.
Because the engine restarts automatically when the driver’s seat belt is unfastened
or the driver’s door is opened, an unex- pected accident might occur when the ve-
hicle starts moving.
• Do not move the gearshift lever to a posi-
tion other than the “N” (Neutral) position.
If the gearshift lever is moved to a posi-
tion other than the “N” (Neutral) position,
the “
” display/indicator blinks and the
buzzer sounds.
If the gearshift lever is returned to the “N”
(Neutral) position, the display/indicator
stops blinking and the buzzer stops sound- ing. The engine will not restart if the gear-
shift lever is in a position other than the “N” (Neutral) position.
NOTEl In the following cases, the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system will not operate and the en- gine will not stop automatically even if thevehicle is stopped.
• Driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• Driver’s door is open.
• Bonnet is open.
• After the engine restarts automatically,
the vehicle speed has not exceeded ap-
proximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low be-
cause the brake pedal is depressed repeat- edly or depressed harder than usual.
• After the engine starts, approximately 30
seconds or more have not elapsed.
• After the engine restarts automatically
and the vehicle stops again within 10 sec-onds.
• Engine coolant temperature is low.
• Ambient temperature is low.
• Air conditioning is operating and passen-
ger compartment has not sufficiently
cooled.

NOTElDriving on rough roads can cause rust on the
vehicle; wash the vehicle thoroughly as soonas possible after such use.
Climbing/descending sharp
grades
Your vehicle may not provide sufficient hill
climbing ability and engine braking on steep slopes. Avoid driving on steep slopes even
though the vehicle is a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Driving through water
E00618900106
If the electrical circuits become wet, further operation of the vehicle will be impossible;
therefore, avoid driving through water unless absolutely necessary. If driving through wa-ter is unavoidable, use the following proce-
dure:

Check the depth of the water and the terrain before attempting to drive through it. Driveslowly to avoid creating excessive water
splashing.
CAUTIONl Never drive through water that is deep
enough to cover wheel hubs, axles or ex-
haust pipe. Do not change the gearshift lever position ( M/T) or the selector lever position
(A/T or CVT) while driving through water.
Frequent driving through water can adverse-
ly affect the life span of the vehicle; we rec- ommend you to take the necessary measuresto prepare, inspect, and repair the vehicle.
l After driving through water, apply the
brakes to be sure they are functioning prop- erly. If the brakes are wet and not function-
ing properly, dry them out by driving slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal. In- spect each part of the vehicle carefully.Inspection and maintenance
following rough roadoperation E00606700338
After operating the vehicle in rough road
conditions, be sure to perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures:
l Check that the vehicle has not been dam-
aged by rocks, gravel, etc.
l Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal in order to dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do
not function properly, we recommend you to have the brakes checked as soon
as possible.
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core.
l After driving through water, check the
engine, transmission and differential oil. If the oil or grease is milky or cloudy be-
cause of water contamination, it must be
replaced with new oil or grease.
l Check the inside of the vehicle. If water
entry is found, dry the carpet etc.
l Inspect the headlamps, If the headlamp
bulb is flooded with water, we recom- mend you to have it drained.Cautions on handling of 4-
wheel drive vehicles E00606802085
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the driving performance of the ve- hicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.

If the ABS warning lamp/display and brake warning
lamp/display illuminate at the same timeWarning lampWarning display type 1Warning display type 2
The ABS and brake force distribution func- tion may not work, so hard braking could
make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we rec-
ommend you to have it checked.
NOTEl The ABS warning lamp and brake warning
lamp illuminate at the same time and the
warning displays appear alternately on the information screen in the multi-informationdisplay.After driving on icy roads
E00618800150

Electric power steering
system (EPS) E00629200226
The power steering system operates while theengine 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 a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.

6-50OGAE17E2Starting and driving6

WARNINGlDo 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.NOTEl During repeated full-lock turning of the
steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking space), a protection function may be activa-
ted to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering action will return to normal.
l If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlamps on, the
headlamps may become dim. This behaviour is not abnormal. The headlamps will returnto their original brightness after a shortwhile.Electric power steering system
warning displayType 1Type 2
When there is a malfunction in the system, the warning display will appear on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information dis-
play.
CAUTIONl If the warning display appears while engine
is running, have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible. It may become
harder to turn the steering wheel.Active stability control
(ASC)* E00616700331
The Active Stability Control (ASC) takes
overall control of the anti-lock brake system, traction control function and stability control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s con-
trol and traction. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on the anti-lock
brake system, traction control function and stability control function.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 6-48
Traction control function ® p. 6-52
Stability control function ® p. 6-52CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle.
This system, like any other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstan- ces. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive care-
fully. This means 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 ASC may not work properly.
