To operate
E00628101371
1. Stop the vehicle completely using the
brake pedal.
2. On vehicles equipped with M/T, place
the gearshift lever into the 1 st
position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, place
the selector lever into the “D” position.
NOTEl When reversing on an uphill slope, place the
selector lever or gearshift lever into the “R”
position.
3. Release the brake pedal and the hill start
assist will maintain the braking force ap-
plied while stopping for approximately 2 seconds.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal and the
hill start assist gradually will decrease the braking force as the vehicle startsmoving.
NOTEl The hill start assist is activated when all of
the following conditions are met.
• The engine is running.
(The hill start assist will not be activated
while the engine is starting or immediate-
ly after the engine is started.)NOTE• On vehicles equipped with
M/T, the gear-
shift lever is in the following position.
[When starting an uphill slope forwards.]
The gearshift lever is in any position other
than “R”.
(The hill start assist will operate, even if the gearshift lever is in the “N” position.)
[When starting an uphill slope back-
wards.]
The gearshift lever is in the “R” position.
(The hill start assist will not operate when
the gearshift lever is in the “N” position.)
• On vehicles equipped with
A/T, the selec-
tor lever is in any position other than “P” or “N”.
• The vehicle is completely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed.
• The parking brake is released.
l The hill start assist will not operate if the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed before the brake pedal is released.
l The hill start assist also operates when re-
versing on an uphill slope.
l When the hill start assist is activated, you
may feel the operating sound.
This is a normal result of the hill start assist operation, and does not indicate a problem.Warning indicator
E00628201545
If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys-
tem, the indication lamp will turn on.
- ASTC indicator
CAUTIONl If the warning is turn on, the hill start assist
will not operate. Start off carefully.
l Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the warning indicator went out, in which case
the hill start assist is again working normal- ly. If the warning remains displayed or reap-
pears frequently, it is not necessary to stop
the vehicle immediately, but the vehicle
should be inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.Brake assist system
E00627001780
The brake assist system is a device assistingdrivers 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.
Brake assist system
6-55OKTE18E1Starting and driving6
CAUTIONlWhen
indication lamp blinks, Active Sta-
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.
When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position or the operation
mode in ACC or OFF. When towing the ve-
hicle with the rear wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “ACC” position or theoperation mode in ACC.
Refer to “Towing” on page 8-23.
Trailer Stability Assist
(TSA) E00639500033
The trailer stability assist system helps safelyrunning while towing a trailer by controllingthe braking force of each wheel and enginepower in order to stabilize the motion when
detecting the continuous sway of the vehicle
caused by a trailer.
When the trailer stability assist system oper- ates the brakes, the brake lamp turns on.
About the towing of the trailer, refer to page
6-84.
