Door locks
WA R N I N G Make sure all doors are tightly closed and locked while driving.• Locked doors, in co
mbination with the
use of seat belts, can help reduce the riskof ejection in an accident.• Locked doors can help keep passengers,especially small children, from opening doors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help prevent outsiders from gaining access
to your vehicle when
you slow or come to a stop.
 Lock your vehicle when
ever you leave it.
Children who get into
unlocked vehicles
may not be able to get out. Childrentrapped inside vehicles can quickly be overcome by heat
and suffer serious
injury or death due to heat stroke. Never leave a ch
ild alone in the vehicle. In
addition to the risk
of heat stroke, chil-
dren can activate switches and controls, resulting in an injury
or fatal accident.
When closing a door,
make sure that the
door is fully closed and the door-ajar warning display goes
out on the informa-
tion screen on the multi-information dis- play. If the door is aj
ar it could open while
driving and cause an accident.

If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning light will come on. Under normal conditions, the warning lamp comes on when the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes off
after the engine has
started.
N00559100176
The Active stability control (ASC) takes overall control of the anti-lock braking sys- tem, traction control function and skid controlfunction to help maintain
the vehicle’s control
and traction. Please read
this section in con-
junction with the page on the anti-lock brak-ing system, traction c
ontrol function and skid
control function. Anti-lock braking system

Skid control function
 P. 5 - 5 2
WA R N I N GDo not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would makethe steering wheel extremely hard to turn,possibly resulting
in an accident.
NOTE
During repeated full-lock turning of the steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into a parkingspace), a protection f
unction may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This fu
nction will make the
steering wheel graduall
y harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system hascooled down, the steering effort will return to normal.  If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi- cle is stationary with
the headlights on, the
headlights may become
dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The he
adlights will return to
their original brightness after a short while.
Electric power steering system warning light
CAUTION If the warning light appears while the engine is running, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your
choice as soon as pos-
sible. It may become ha
rder to turn the steer-
ing wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physicsfrom acting on the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has
limits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of thevehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accident
s. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This meanstaking into account the traffic, road and envi- ronmental conditions. Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire on all four
wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly.

 When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing the acce
lerator pedal may not
allow the engine speed to increase. In suchsituations, temporaril
y turning off ASC with
the “ASC OFF” switch will make it easier to move out your vehicle.  If you continue to press the “ASC OFF” switch after the ASC is turned off, the “mis-taken operation protec
tion function” will
activate and the ASC will turn back on.

ASC OFF indicator This indicator will turn on when the ASC is turned off with the “ASCOFF” switch.
CAUTION When indicator bli
nks, ASC is operating,
which means that the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels ar
e beginning to slip.
If this happens, drive
slower with less accel-
erator input.NOTE
NOTE
 The indicator may turn on when you start the engine. This means that the battery volt- age momentarily dropped when the enginewas started. It does not
indicate a malfunc-
tion, provided that
the display goes out
immediately.  When a compact spare tire has been put on your vehicle, the grippi
ng ability of the tire
will be lower, making it
more likely that the
indicator will blink.
