The electronic immobilizer is designed to sig-nificantly reduce the
possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to immo- bilize the vehicle if an invalid start isattempted. A valid start attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain conditions) using a F.A.S.T.-Key “registered” to the immobi-lizer system. All of the keys provided with your new vehi- cle have been program
med to the vehicle’s
electronics.
 Remove the object or ad
ditional key from the
F.A.S.T.-key before inserting the key into thekey slot. The vehicle
may not be able to
receive the registered ID code from the regis- tered key. Therefore, the engine may not start and the operation mode may not change.

Your vehicle is equipped with power brakesfor more braking force with less brake pedaleffort. Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power assist is not beingused. If the power assist is not being used, the effort needed to press the brake pedal is greater.If you should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work.
If the power brake unit or either of the two brake hydraulic systems stops working prop-erly, the rest of the brake system will still work, but the vehicle will not slow down as quickly.You will know this has happened if you find you need to press the brake down farther, or harder when slowing down or stopping, or ifthe brake warning light and the warning dis- play in the multi-information display come on. Have the brake system repaired at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.

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 pedalstroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times. Make surethe floor mat is securely held in place.CAUTION It is important not to
drive the vehicle with
your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required. This practice canresult in very high brake temperatures, pre- mature lining wear, a
nd possible damage to
the brakes.
Power brakes
WA R N I N G Never coast downhill
with the engine OFF.
Keep the engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion.
If you turn off the
engine while driving, the power brake booster will stop wo
rking and your brakes
will not work as well. If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic system stops working properly,take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facil-
ity of your choice immediately.

The brake assist system
is a device assisting
drivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly such as in em
ergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied
with more force than
usual.
• On vehicles with ma
nual transaxle, the
gearshift lever is in the following position.[When starting an uphi
ll slope forwards.]
The gearshift lever is in any position other than “R” (Reverse). (The hill start assist will operate, even if thegearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral) posi- tion.) [When starting an uphill
slope backwards.]
The gearshift lever is in the “R” (Reverse) position. (The hill start assist
will not operate when
the gearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral) position.) • On vehicles with CVT,
the selector lever is
in any position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). • The vehicle is comple
tely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed. • The parking brake is released.  The hill start assist wi
ll not operate if the
accelerator pedal is
depressed before the
brake pedal is released.  The hill start assist also operates when reversing on an uphill slope.  When the hill start a
ssist is activated, you
may feel the operating sound or vibrationfrom under the body. This is a normal result of the hill start assist operation, and does not indicate a problem.NOTE

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 the indicator goes out, in wh
ich case the hill start
assist is again working normally. If they remain displayed or reappear fre- quently, it is not necessa
ry to stop the vehicle
immediately, but th
e vehicle should be
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as s
oon 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 be
tween 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 the brake pedal is lightly released.To stop its operation, completely remove your foot from the brake pedal.  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 ope
rating normally and does
not indicate faulty
operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.  When the anti-lock brake system warning light is illuminated, th
e brake assist system is
not functioning.

N00517900338
The anti-lock braking
system helps prevent
the wheels from locking up when braking. This helps maintain vehicle drivability andsteering wheel handling.  When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden braking), steering is slightly different from normal driving conditions. Use the steering 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-coveredroads. • Driving on uneven road surfaces.  Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted situations where brakes are applied suddenly. Th
is system may also
prevent the wheels from locking whenyou drive over manholes, 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 also
feel as if the pedal
resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brakepedal down firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in reduced braking performance.
N00531600674
If there is a malfunction in the system, the anti-lock braking system warning light will come on.Under normal conditions, the ABS warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operationmode is put in ON and goes off a few seconds later.
Anti-lock braking system Driving hints
CAUTION The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your
responsibility to take
safety precautions a
nd to drive carefully.
To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system, be sure all 4 wheels and tires are the same size and the same type.NOTE
 You may feel the ope
rating sound or vibra-
tion from under the body when driving immediately after starti
ng the engine. This is
a normal result the an
ti-lock braking system
makes when performing a self-check. It does not indicate a problem.  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 3mph (5 km/h).
Anti-lock braking system warn- ing light
CAUTION Any of the following i
ndicates that the anti-
lock braking system is not functioning andonly the standard brake system is working. (The standard brake
system is functioning
normally.) If this happens, take your vehicleto an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice.
