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.

CAUTIONThe system may be malfunctioning.Park your vehicle in a
safe place and stop the
engine. Restart the engi
ne and check whether
the display/indicator goe
s out. If they go out,
there is no abnormal condition. If they do notgo out or if they turn on frequently, it is notnecessary to stop the
vehicle immediately,
but you should have your vehicle inspectedby an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer ora repair facility of
your choice as soon as
possible.

CAUTIONIf the 2WD vehicle is to
wed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” pos
ition or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels oronly the rear wheels raised off the ground,the ASC may operate, resulting in an acci-dent. When towing the 2WD vehicle with thefront wheels raised, keep the ignition switchin the “OFF”, “LOCK” or “ACC” position orthe operation mode in ACC or OFF. Whentowing the vehicle with the rear wheelsraised, keep the ignition switch in the “ACC”Refer to “Towing” on page 8-14.

3. Within 60 seconds of turning the ignitionswitch to the “OFF” or “LOCK” positionor putting the operation mode in OFF, pullthe turn signal lever toward you.4. The headlights will come on in the lowbeam setting for approximately 30 sec-onds. After the headlights go off, theheadlights can be turned on again in thelow beam setting for approximately 30seconds by pulling the turn signal levertoward you within 60 seconds of turningthe ignition switch to the “OFF” or“LOCK” position or putting the operationmode in OFF. To turn on the headlightsagain after 60 seconds of turning the igni-tion switch to the “OFF” or “LOCK”position or putting th
e operation mode in
OFF, repeat the process from step 1.

The direction of the headlight beam (thedirection in which th
e light shines) alters
according to the number of people and theload in the vehicle. Lo
wer the headlight angle
if it is too high due to the number of people
and/or the load in the vehicle so that the head-lights’ glare does not distract the drivers ofapproaching vehicles. First set the lightswitch to the “ ” position, then turn theheadlight leveling switch knob to lower thebeam. The greater the number on the head-light leveling switch knob, the lower thebeam will point.Set the switch to the appropriate position sothat the headlight beam is level with the road.
NOTE
While the coming home light function isoperating, perform one of the followingoperations to canc
el the function.
• Pull the turn signal lever toward you.• Turn the combination headlights and dim-mer switch to the “ ” or “ ” positionor put the operation mode in ON.• Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-tion or put the opera
tion mode in ON.
It is possible to modify functions as follows:• The time that the headlights remain on canbe changed.• The coming home light function can bedeactivated.For details, consult a Mitsubishi Motorsdealer.On vehicles equipped with the SmartphoneLink Display Audio, sc
reen operations can
be used to make the adjustment.Refer to separate owne
r’s manual for details.

EXAMPLE: DOT MA L9 ABCD 1504
The treadwear grade is a comparativerating based on the wear rate of thetire when tested under controlledconditions on a specified governmenttest course. For example, a tiregraded 150 would wear one and one-half (1
1/2) times as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tire graded 100.The relative performance of tiresdepends upon the
actual conditions
of their use, however, and may departsignificantly from the norm due tovariations in driv
ing habits, service
practices and differences in roadcharacteristics and climate.The traction grades, from highest tolowest, are AA, A, B and C. Thosegrades represent the tire’s ability tostop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled co
nditions on speci-
fied government test surfaces ofasphalt and concrete. A tire markedC may have poor traction perfor-mance.The temperature grades are A (thehighest), B and C, representing thetire’s resistance to the generation ofheat and its ability to dissipate heatwhen tested under controlled condi-tions on a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel. Sustained high tempera-ture can cause the material of the tireto degenerate and reduce tire life, andexcessive temperature can lead tosudden tire failure. The grade C cor-responds to a level of performancewhich all passenger car tires mustmeet under the Federal Motor Vehi-cle Safety Standard No. 109. GradesB and A represent higher levels ofperformance on the laboratory testwheel than the minimum required bylaw.

ting safety defects.
DOT quality grades - Al
l passenger vehicle
tires must conform to
Federal Safety Require-
ments in addition to these grades. The spe-cific grade rating in each grade category isshown on the side wall of the tires on yourvehicle. The treadwear grade is a comparative ratingbased on the wear rate of
the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specifiedgovernment test course
. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half(11/2) times as well on the government course
as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance
of tires depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart signifi-cantly from the norm due to variations indriving habits, service practices and differ-ences in road characteristics and climate. The traction grades, from highest to lowest,are AA, A, B and C. Those grades representthe tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions onspecified government te
st surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have poortraction performance. The temperature grades are A (the highest), Band C, representing the ti
re’s resistance to the
generation of heat and it
s ability to dissipate
heat when tested un
der controlled conditions
on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce
tire life, and excessive temperature can leadto sudden tire failure. The grade C corre-sponds to a level of performance which allpassenger car tires must meet under the Fed-eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.Grades B and A represent higher levels ofperformance on the labora
tory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
