vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the condition of the tires. Pay close attention to the tires. Install only the specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-7. Be sure all four tires and wheels are the same size and type. When it is necessary to replace any of thetires or wheels, replace all four. All tires should be rotated before the wear difference between the front and rear tires is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a difference in wear between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on page 9-17.  Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
N00517500275
Overuse of the brake can cause weakening, resulting in poor brake response and prema- ture wear of the brake pads.When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by downshifting.
CAUTION Always use tires of the same size, type, and brand that have no wear differences. Using tires of different size, type, brands or degree of wear, will increase the differential oil tem- perature and result in possible damage to thedriving system. Further, the drive train will be subject to excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, orother serious failures.
To w i n g
CAUTION Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing. If you tow 4-wheel dr
ive vehicles, use Type
C or Type D equipment. Even in “AUTO” drive mode, the vehicle cannot be towed with the front or the rear wheels on the ground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WA R N I N G Do not crank the engine while jacking up the vehicle.The tire on the ground may turn and the vehicle may roll off the jack.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke that would be necessary in anemergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place.

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.

N00589800042
Parking sensors will alert the driver with an intermittent or continuous buzzer sound whenthe vehicle approaches an object and the sen- sor detects that object during parking. The system incorporates eight ultrasonic sensors(A) on the front and rear bumpers.Parking sensors (Front/Rear)
(if so equipped)
WA R N I N G Before using the parking sensors, read this entire section to fully understand the limi-tations of this system. Failure to follow instructions could result in an accident.
 The parking sensors are parking aid only. It is not a substitute for your visual confir- mation. The system is not designed to detect chil- dren, pedestrians, bicycles and pets. Thearea within which the system can detect is very limited, and ob
jects outside the
detection area, such as under the bumperor around either corner of the bumper, cannot be detected. The sensors of the sys- tem may not be able to detect certainobjects. Never rely solely on the parking sensors to clear the area in front and to the rear of your vehicle. Always check visually in front and to the rear of your vehicle forpersons, animals, obstructions or other vehicles. Failure to do so can result in damage toyour vehicle, serious injury or death.CAUTION The parking sensors may not operate prop- erly in a certain situation. Some examples are:• The sensors or surroundings have beenwiped by hand.• The stickers or accessories have beenattached to the sensors or surroundings.• The sensors or surroundings are coveredwith ice, snow, or mud.WA R N I N G
• When the ambient temperature has rapidly changed.• When the sensor is frozen.• When the system detects ultrasonic noise,such as the noise from motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pouring rain, splashingwater or tire chains.• When the sensor is extremely hot or cold(after the vehicle has been parked for a long period of time under a blazing sun or in cold weather).• When the vehicle is driven on a rough roadincluding a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassysurface.• When the vehicle is too close to an object.• Immediately after the engine switch isturned on.
 The parking sensors may not properly detect certain objects including;• A thin object such as a wire net or rope.• An object that absorbs ultrasonic sound waves, such as snow.• An object with sharp angles.• An object with a smooth surface, such as glass.• A low height object such as a curb. If the bumper has experienced an impact, the sensor area may have damage and the park- ing sensors may not function properly. Have the vehicle inspected at an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.CAUTION
