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.

or fresh snow with the drive mode-selector in
the “2H” or “4H” position (Easy Select 4WD) or “2H”, “4H” or “4HLc” position
(Super Select 4WD II), you may find that op- eration of the ASTC prevents the engine
speed from increasing in response to depres- sion of the accelerator pedal. If this happensand the vehicle remains stuck as a result, place the drive mode-selector in the “4L” po-
sition (Easy Select 4WD), “4LLc” position
(Super Select 4WD II), or turn the Active Stability Control switch OFF. The vehicle will then be easier to extricate. (Brake controlof the active traction control function is still

bility Control function or active traction con-
trol function is operating, which means that
the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s
wheels are beginning to slip. If this happens, drive slower with less accelerator input.
l If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys-
tem while driving, the
indication lamp
will illuminate.
In these cases, follow these procedures:
• If the temperature in the braking system
continues to increase due to continuous
brake control on a slippery road surface,
the
indication lamp will blink, and op-
eration of the active traction control func-
tion will be suspended to protect the brake
system. (The engine control of the active traction control function and normal brake
operation will not be affected.) Park your vehicle in a safe place. When the tempera-
ture in the braking system has come
down, the
indication lamp will go off
and the Active Stability Control function and active traction control function willstart operating again.
CAUTION• If the indication lamp does not go out
even though the above procedure is fol-
lowed, there could be a problem in the system.
Stop the engine and start the engine again
and check whether the
indication lamp
goes out. If the indication lamp goes out, there is no abnormal condition.
If the
indication lamp illuminates even
after your vehicle is driven a short dis-
tance after re-starting the engine, we rec-
ommend you to have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
l If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or on- ly the rear wheels raised off the ground, the
ASTC may operate, resulting in an accident.

E00633201110
The Speed Limiter is a driver assist functionto prevent from exceeding the speed set by
driver while engine power control.
CAUTIONl Because the system does not use service
brake (hydraulic brake), the vehicle speed may exceed the set speed on the downhill.
If a driver wants to keep the vehicle speed in such a situation, he/she must put on a servicebrake or downshift.NOTEl If the clutch pedal
(M/T) is depressed, the
Speed Limiter does not activate.If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed,
control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limit-
er’s symbol will blink in the combination me-
ter.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed af- ter indicated control state “LIMIT” and the
Speed Limiter’s symbol, beep alert will sound a certain period of time.
While running without blinked control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limiter’s symbol, if
you decrease the set speed and vehicle speed is more than set speed, control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limiter’s symbol blinking
starts but beep alert is delayed.
In this case, when vehicle speed keeps ex- ceeding set speed for about 30 seconds after
control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limit- er’s symbol are blinked, beep alert will sound
a certain period of time.
If the vehicle speeds decreases less than set
speeds, control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limiter’s symbol stop blinking. When beep
alert is sounding, the beep alert also goes off.NOTEl However, this gives priority to audio and
visual signal of safety reasons or driver’s de-mand.
l If the set speed is too lower based on current
shift position, the Speed Limiter may not
limit the vehicle speed to prevent engine stall.Speed Limiter control switches
