Your vehicle has been designed primarily for use on pavement. But its unique 4-wheel drive system allowsyou to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar locations.Not only does this ensure better handling on dry, paved roads but also permits better trac- tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud. But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or towing in rough conditions.It is particularly important to note that 4- wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability and engine braking on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driving on steep slopes. Also, you must exercise caution when drivingon sand and mud and when driving through water because sufficient traction may not be available in certain circumstances.Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud.

WA R N I N G Always concentrate on your driving first. Keep your eyes and mind on the road. Dis-tractions while driving can lead to an acci- dent.
4-wheel drive operation
WA R N I N G Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive vehi- cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim-its to the system and ability to maintain control and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Always drive carefully,taking account of the road conditions. Improperly operating this vehicle on or off-pavement can cause an accident or rollover in which you and your passengers could be seriously injured or killed.• Follow all instructions and guidelines inthe owner’s manual.• Keep your speed low and do not drivefaster than conditions.
NOTE
 Driving on rough roads can be hard on a vehicle. Before you leave the pavement, be sure all scheduled maintenance and service has been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to thecondition of the tires, and check the tire pres- sures.  Mitsubishi Motors is not responsible to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and negligentoperation of a vehicle. All techniques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other partici-pating parties. Any deviation from the rec- ommended operating instructions above is at their own risk.  Note that the stopping distance required of the 4-wheel drive vehicle differs very littlefrom that of the front-wheel drive vehicle. When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that youkeep a sufficient distance between your vehi- cle and the one ahead of you.  The driving posture should be more upright; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wearthe seat belt.  After driving on rough roads, check each part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughly with water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera- tion” section and “Vehicle care and Mainte- nance” sections.

Brake assist system 5-78 Features and controls
5
Warning display
N00567301145
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who cannot depress the brake pedal firmly such as in emergency stop situationsand provides greater braking force. If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force than usual.
N00517901351
The anti-lock braking system helps preventthe wheels from locking up when braking. This helps maintain vehicle drivability and steering wheel handling.  When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden braking), steering is slightly different from normal driving conditions. Use thesteering wheel carefully.  Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi-cle is equipped with the anti-lock braking system, leave a greater braking distance when:• Driving on gravel or snow-covered roads. • Driving on uneven road surfaces.
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 thelight/display goes out, in which case the hill start assist is again working normally. If they remain displayed or reappear fre-quently, it is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but the vehicle should be inspected by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon 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 between your vehicle and a vehicle in front of you without relying toomuch on the brake assist system.NOTE
 Once the brake assist system is operational, it maintains great braking force even if thebrake pedal is lightly released. To stop its operation, completely remove your foot from the brake pedal.  The brake assist system may become opera- tional when the brake pedal is fullydepressed even if it has not been depressed suddenly.  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 smallmotions in conjunction with the operation noise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brakeassist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to depress the brake pedal.  You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is suddenly or fully depressed while stationary. This does not indicate a malfunction and the brake assist system isoperating normally.
 When the anti-lock brake system warning light or only active stability control warning light illuminate, the brake assist system in not functioning.

 Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted situations where brakes are applied suddenly. This system may also prevent the wheels from locking whenyou drive over manh
oles, steel roadwork
plates, road markings, or any uneven road surface. When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel the brake pedal vibrat- ing and hear a unique sound. It may alsofeel as if the pedal resists being pressed.In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in reducedbraking performance.
N00531601701
Warning light Warning display If there is a malfunction in the system, the anti-lock braking system warning light will come on and the warning display will appearon the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display. Under normal conditions,
the anti-lock brak-
ing system warning light only comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ONand goes off a few seconds later.
N00531701669
 Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv- ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.Test the system by restarting the engine and driving at a speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher.If the warning light/display then remains off during driving, there is no abnormal condition.
CAUTION The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your responsibility to take safety precautions and to drive carefully. To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system, be sure all four wheels and tires are the same size and the same type.NOTE
 A whining sound is emitted from the engine compartment when dr
iving immediately
after starting the engine. These are the nor- mal sounds the anti-lock braking system makes when performing a self-check. It doesnot indicate a malfunction.
 The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle has reached a speed over approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stops working when the vehicle slows below 3 mph (5 km/h).

WA R N I N G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.NOTE
 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 acti-vated to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make the steering wheel gradually harder to turn. Inthis event, limit your tu
rning of the steering
wheel for a while. When the system has cooled down, the steering effort will returnto normal.  If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi- cle is stationary with the headlights on, the headlights may become dim. This behavior is not abnormal. The headlights will return totheir original brightness after a short while.

CAUTION If the warning display appears while the engine is running, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer ora repair facility of your choice as soon as possible. It may become harder to turn the steering wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTION 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 limits and cannot helpyou to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accidents. It is the driver’sresponsibillty to drive carefully, This means taking into account the traffic, road and envi- ronmental conditions. Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire on all four wheels. Otherwise, theASC may not work properly. Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop functioning properly.
