2018 MITSUBISHI L200 warning

NOTElOn vehicles with the rear differential lock
and the active stability & traction control
(ASTC), the ASTC and ABS functions are suspended while the rear differential lock isactivated.
ASTC indication lamp, ASTC OFF indica-
tion lamp and ABS warning lamp are illumi- nated while these functions are suspended.
It does not indicate a problem. When the
rear differential lock is disengaged, these lamps go out and function again.
Refer to “ASTC indication lamp, ASTC
OFF indication lamp” on page 6-61.
If only the ABS warning lamp
illuminates
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see whether the lamp goes out after a few minutes driv-
ing; if it then remains off during driving,
there is no problem.
However, if the warning lamp do not disap- pear, or if they come on again when the vehi-cle is driven, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked as soon as possible.
If the ABS warning lamp and
brake warning lamp illuminate at the same time
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.
After driving on icy roads
E00618801258
After driving on snow or icy roads, remove
any snow and ice which may have accumula-
ted around the wheels. On vehicles that have
an ABS, be careful not to damage the wheel
speed sensors (A) or the cables located at each wheel.Power steering system
E00607401498
The power steering system operates while the
engine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel.
Power steering system
6-58OKTE18E1Starting and driving6 Front Rear

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.WARNINGl 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.CAUTIONl Do not leave the steering wheel turned all
the way in one direction. This can causedamage to the power steering system.Active Stability & Traction
Control (ASTC)* E00616701790
The active stability & traction control (ASTC) takes overall control of the anti-lockbrake system, Active Stability Control func-
tion and active traction control function to
help maintain the vehicle’s control and trac- tion. Please read this section in conjunction with the pages on the anti-lock brake system,
Active Stability Control function and active
traction control function.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 6-56
Active Stability Control function ® p. 6-60
Active Traction Control function ® p. 6-61CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on the ASTC. Even the
ASTC 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
ASTC may not work correctly.CAUTIONl Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The Ac-
tive Stability Control function may stop functioning properly.NOTEl An operation noise may be emitted from the
engine compartment in the following situa-
tions. The sound is associated with checking the operations of the ASTC. At this time,
you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if
you depress it. These do not indicate a mal- function.
• When the ignition switch is set to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the engine is turned on.
l When the ASTC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the engine compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASTC is not active.

If this happens, please contact aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point for inspection of the system.CAUTIONl LDW has its performance limitations. Do
not over-rely on the system.
l LDW is not designed to lessen risks associ-
ated with not looking ahead carefully (atten-
tion drawn to something on the side, absent-
mindedness, etc.) or poor visibility caused
by bad weather etc. Keep steering your vehi-
cle correctly and drive safely.
l The system may not be able to detect the
lane correctly in the following conditions. If required, set the LDW switch to “OFF.”
• When driving on a road whose lane mark-
ings (white or yellow) are worn out or
smeared with dirt to an extent not recog- nizable by the system.CAUTION• When lane markings are vague, typically
during a drive in the rain, snow or fog, or when running against the sun.
• When the vehicle is moving in a place
where lane markings are interrupted, such
as a toll booth entrance and motorway junction.
• When running on a road portion with in-
completely removed old lane markings,
shadows, lingering snow, truck-like pud- dles mistakable for lane markings (espe-cially after the rain when road surface is
reflecting light) or similar confusing fac- tors.
• When running in a lane other than the
cruising lane and passing lane.
• When running beside a closed lane sec-
tion or in a provisional lane in a traffic work zone.
• When running in an extremely narrow
lane.
• When the following distance between
your vehicle and a vehicle in front be- comes extremely reduced (especially
when a marking is hidden by a vehicle in front this is running too close to the mark-
ing).
• When entering a junction or other point of
road where lanes are laid out complicated- ly.
• When passing a road section where the
number of lanes increases/decreases or multiple lanes are crossing each other.CAUTION• When the lane is marked by double or
otherwise special lines.
• When driving on a winding or rough road.
• When driving on a slippery road covered
by rain water, snow, ice, etc.
• When passing through a place where the
brightness suddenly changes, like the inlet or outlet of a tunnel.
• When turning steep curves.
• When the road surface is reflecting the
light shining from the direction opposite
to the running direction.
• Vehicle largely lurches when it is running
over steps or other irregularities of the
road surface.
• When the headlamp illumination is inade-
quate because of contaminated or deterio-
rated lenses or improperly aimed head- lamps.
• When the vehicle is leaning much to one
side due to heavy luggage on it or improp-
erly adjusted tyre pressures.
• When oncoming vehicles’ headlamps
shine the LDW camera.
• When the vehicle is equipped with non-
standard tyres (including excessively
worn tyres and temporary spare tyre), uses snow traction device (tyre chains), or has non-specified components such as a
modified suspension.
