Brake assist systemE00627001793
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly when it is necessary to do so (such as
in emergency stop situations) and provides
greater braking force.

If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.CAUTIONl The 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 your vehicle and a
vehicle 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.NOTEl When the brake assist system is in use, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal issoft, the pedal moves in small motions inconjunction with the sound of the ABS oper- ation, 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 You may hear an operation noise when the
brake pedal is depressed suddenly while sta-
tionary. This does not indicate a malfunction
and the brake assist system is operating nor- mally.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp or only Active Stability Control warn- ing lamp illuminate, the brake assist system
in not functioning.Emergency stop signal
system E00626001060
This is a device that reduces the possibility ofrear end collisions by the rapid and automatic blinking of the hazard warning lamps to alert
vehicles approaching from behind during sudden braking. When the emergency stop
signal system operates, the hazard warning indication lamp in the instrument cluster
blinks rapidly at the same time.
CAUTIONl If the ABS warning or ASC warning is dis-
played, the emergency stop signal system may not operate. Refer to “ABS warning lamp/display” on page 7-38.
Refer to “ASC warning display” on page
7-42.NOTEl [Activating condition for the emergency stop
signal system]
It activates when all of the following condi-
tions are met.
• The vehicle speed is approximately
55 km/h (34 mph) or higher.
• The brake pedal has been depressed, and
the system judges that it was sudden brak- ing from the vehicle deceleration and theoperating condition of the anti-lock brake
system (ABS).
[Deactivating condition for the emergency
stop signal system]
It deactivates when one of the following conditions is met.
• The brake pedal is released.
• The hazard warning flasher switch is
pressed.
• The system judges that it was not sudden
braking from the vehicle deceleration and
the operating condition of the anti-lock
brake system (ABS).

CAUTIONlNever install a limited-slip differential,
which is not MITSUBISHI MOTORS GEN-
UINE parts, as the ABS may not function
normally.
We recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.ABS warning lamp/display

Warning lampWarning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, the
ABS warning lamp will come on and the
warning display will appear on the informa- tion screen in the multi information display.
Under normal conditions, the ABS warning
lamp only comes on when the operation
mode is put in ON and goes off a few sec- onds later.
CAUTIONl Any of the following warning lamp/display
behaviour indicates that the ABS is not func-tioning and only the standard brake system
is working. (The standard brake system is functioning normally.) If this happens, takeyour vehicle to a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
• When the operation mode is put in ON,
the warning lamp does not come on or it remains on and does not go off.
• The warning lamp comes on while driv-
ing.
• The warning display appears while driv-
ing.If the warning lamp/display il-
luminate while driving
E00607302423
If only the ABS warning lamp/ display illuminate
l Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv-
ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the Plug-in Hybrid EV System and check to see whether the lamp goes
out after a few minutes driving; if it then remains off during driving, there is no
problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it lights up again when the vehicle is driven, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
l If you start Plug-in Hybrid EV System
when the auxiliary battery voltage is in-
sufficient, ABS warning lamp/display may illuminate, but this is not a failure
of ABS. When the drive battery is charg-
ed, the auxiliary battery is also charged, and the warning lamp/display will go
out. If the warning lamp/display contin- ues illuminating even after the battery is
sufficiently charged or the warning
lamp/display illuminates frequently, have your vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
If the ABS warning lamp/ display and brake warning
lamp/display illuminate at the same time

NOTElEven if the ACC is in the activated state
when the operation mode is set to “OFF”,
the system does not automatically become
activated when the operation mode is set to “ON” next time.
To activate ACC control
With the ACC turned on (in the ‘standby
state’), push down the “SET -” switch whiledriving.
When your desired speed is reached, release
the “SET -” switch; then this speed is set and
the ACC initiates the speed control to the set speed.
The set speed is indicated on the informationscreen of the multi-information display.
The ACC can be selected between approxi-
mately 40 km/h (25 mph) to 180 km/h
(112 mph).
You can set and initiate the speed control when driving at approximately 10-40 km/h
while a vehicle in front is being detected. In this case, the target speed is set to 40 km/h
(25 mph).
Setting to any speed outside this range does
not cause the ACC to start the control.
When the ACC is initialized, a buzzer sound
is heard and the “SET” indicator lights up on the screen. At the same time, the display showing the following distance setting and
the running-ahead vehicle symbol (only when
the ACC is detecting a vehicle in front) is switched to the in-control mode display.NOTEl The ACC cannot start the control when any
of the following conditions is present. You
are alerted to this state by a sounding buzzer.
• When the vehicle speed is lower than ap-
proximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or 180 km/h
(112 mph) or higher.
• When the vehicle is running at a speed be-
tween approximately 10 km/h (6 mph)
and 40 km/h (25 mph) and the ACC does
not detect a vehicle in front.
• When ASC is in the OFF state.
• When ABS, ASC or TCL is working.

SituationOperation displayBuzzerWhen an obstacle is detected behind your vehicle with the se-
lector lever in the “R” position, if the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed promptly and too strongly, the motor output is sup- pressed for up to approximately 5 seconds.WARNINGl Do not overly rely on the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System. It is never a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always be careful
to operate the accelerator pedal perceiving the environmental conditions. Misoperation can lead to a serious accident.
l As the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System is not a function to keep the stop condition of the vehicle, depress the brake pedal according to
the environmental condition.
l Depending on the situation, the system does not operate even if the vehicle or the obstacle in front and behind your vehicle and this may cause the
vehicle to start suddenly and lead to a serious accident.
l If the vehicle is trapped in the railway crossing because the system is activated as the crossing barrier is misrecognised as an obstacle, escape from
the railway crossing without any panic by one of the following methods.
• Release the foot from the accelerator pedal and lightly depress the pedal again.
• Turn the system OFF. (Continuously press the Forward collision mitigation system (FCM) and Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System
ON/OFF switch for more than 3 seconds.)
• Continuously depress the accelerator pedal for more than 5 seconds.
• Repeat to press the accelerator pedal quickly to its full stroke more than 3 times.
