The anti-lock braking system and brake forcedistribution function ma
y 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 contact anauthorized Mitsubishi Mo
tors dealer or repair
facility of your choice.

After driving on snow or icy roads, removeany snow and ice which may have be leftaround the wheels. On vehicles that have ananti-lock braking syst
em, be careful not to
damage the wheel spee
d sensors (A) or the
cables located at each wheel.

The power steering system operates while theengine is running. It helps reduce the effortneeded to turn the steering wheel.The power steering sy
stem has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist islost. 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 moreeffort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi-cle inspected at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.

WA R N I N GDo not stop the engine while the vehicle ismoving. Stopping the engine would makethe steering wheel extremely hard to turn,possibly resulting
in an accident.
NOTE
During repeated full-lock turning of thesteering wheel (for example, while you aremanoeuvring the vehicle into a parkingspace), a protection f
unction may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the powersteering system. This f
unction will make the
steering wheel graduall
y harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steeringwheel for a while. When the system hascooled down, the steering effort will returnto normal.If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-cle is stationary with the headlights on, theheadlights may become
dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The he
adlights will return to
their original brightness after a short while.

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

On slippery surfaces, the traction controlfunction prevents the drive wheels from spin-ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle tostart moving from a stopp
ed condition.
It also
provides sufficient driv
ing force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while press-ing the acceleration pedal.
CAUTIONIf the warning display appears while theengine is running, have
the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer ora repair facility of
your choice as soon as
possible. It may become harder to turn thesteering wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTIONDo not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASCcannot prevent the natural laws of physicsfrom acting on the vehicle. This system, likeany 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 andsize of tire on all four
wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly.Do not install any aftermarket limited slipdifferential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASCmay stop functioning properly.
NOTE
An operation noise may be emitted from theengine compartment in the following situa-tions. The sound is associated with checkingthe operations of the ASC. At this time, youmay feel a shock from the brake pedal if youdepress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-tion.• When the ignition switc
h is set to the “ON”
• When the vehicle is driven for a while afterthe engine is turned on.
When the ASC is acti
vated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicl
e body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the engine compartment.This indicates that th
e system is operating
normally. It does not i
ndicate a malfunction.
When the anti-lock braking system warninglight is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

The skid control func
tion operates
at speeds
of about 9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.
ASC OFF switch
CAUTIONFor safety reasons, the ASC OFF switchshould be operated when your vehicle isstopped. Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving innormal circumstances.
NOTE
Using the ASC OFF swit
ch turns off both the
stability control function and the tractioncontrol function.When moving out of mud, sand or freshsnow, pressing the ac
celerator 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 tomove out your vehicle.If you continue to press the ASC OFF switchafter the ASC is turned off, the “mistakenoperation protection func
tion” will activate

If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys-tem, the following disp
lay/indicator will turn
on.Warning display
N00546301070
CAUTIONWhen display/indicator blinks, ASC isoperating, which means that the road is slip-pery or that your vehi
cle’s wheels are begin-
ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower.If the temperature in the braking system con-tinues to increase due
to continuous brake
control on a slippery
road surface, the
indicator will blink.To prevent the brake system from overheat-ing, the brake control
of the traction control
function will be tem
porarily suspended.
The engine control of the traction controlfunction and normal brake operation will notbe affected.Park your vehicle in a safe place. When thetemperature in the braking system has comedown, the indicator will be turned off andthe traction control func
tion will start operat-
ing again.NOTE
The indicator may come on when youstart the engine. This means that the batteryvoltage momentarily dropped when theengine was started. It
does not indicate a
malfunction, provided th
at the display goes
out immediately.
When a spare tire has been put on your vehi-cle, the gripping ability of the tire will belower, making it more likely that the dis-play/indicator will blink.
