N00517901351
The anti-lock braking system helps prevent the wheels from lockin
g up when braking.
This helps maintain vehicle drivability and steering wheel handling. When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden braking), steering is slightly different from normal driving conditions. Use thesteering 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-covered roads. • Driving on uneven road surfaces.
Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted situations where brakes are applied suddenly. This 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 alsofeel as if the pedal resists being pressed.In this situation, si
mply hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in reducedbraking performance.

Warning light Warning display If there is a malfunction in the system, the anti-lock braking system warning light will come on and the warning display will appearon the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display. Under normal conditions, the anti-lock brak-ing system warning light only comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ONand goes off a few seconds later.
When the anti-lock brake system warning light or only active stability control warning light illuminate, the brake assist system in not functioning.
Anti-lock braking system Driving hints
NOTE
CAUTION The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your responsibility to take safety precautions and to drive carefully. To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system, be sure all four wheels and tires are the same size and the same type.NOTE
A whining sound is emitted from the engine compartment when driving immediatelyafter starting the engine. These are the nor- mal sounds the anti-lock braking system makes when performing a self-check. It doesnot indicate a malfunction.
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 3 mph (5 km/h).

The power steering system operates while the engine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel. The power steering system has mechanicalsteering 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 Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.

WA R N I N G Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would make the 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 parking space), a protection function may be acti-vated to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make the steering wheel gradually harder to turn. Inthis event, limit your tu
rning of the steering
wheel for a while. When the system has cooled down, the steering effort will returnto 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 headlights will return totheir original brightness after a short while.

On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the drive wheels from spin- ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle tostart moving from a stop
ped condition. It also
provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle turns while press-ing the acceleration pedal.
N00559301074
The skid control function is designed to helpthe driver maintain control of the vehicle onslippery roads or during rapid steering maneuvers. It works by controlling the engine output and the brake on each wheel.
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicl
e. This system, like
any other system, has limits and cannot helpyou to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accidents. It is the driver’sresponsibillty to drive carefully, This means taking 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, theASC may not work properly. Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop functioning properly.
NOTE
An operation noise may be emitted from the engine compartment in the following situa- tions. The sound is associated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if youdepress it. These do not indicate a malfunc- tion. • When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is turned on.
When the ASC is activated, you may feel a vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin- ing sound from the engine compartment.This indicates that the system is operating normally. It does not indicate a malfunction. When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.
Traction control function
CAUTION When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy road, be sure to install snow tires and drive the vehicle at moderate speeds.
Skid control function
NOTE
The skid control function operates at speeds of approximately 9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.

The ASC is automatically activated when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion. You can deactivate the system by press- ing down the ASC OFF switch for 3 secondsor longer. When the ASC is deactivated, the indica- tor will turn on. To reactivate the ASC, momentarily press the ASC OFF switch; the indicator is turned off.
N00559501252
ASC OFF switch
CAUTION For safety reasons, the ASC OFF switch should be operated when your vehicle isstopped. Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in normal circumstances.
NOTE
Using the ASC OFF switch turns off both the stability control function and the traction control function. When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not allow the engine speed to increase. In such situations, temporarily turning off ASC withthe 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 “mistaken operation protection function” will activateand the ASC will turn back on.
ASC operation display or ASC OFF indicator
-
ASC operation display/ASC indicator The display/indicator will blink whenthe ASC is operating.
-
ASC OFF indicator This indicator will turn on when theASC is turned off with the ASC OFF switch.
CAUTION When display/indicator blinks, ASC is operating, which means that the road is slip- pery or that your vehicle’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 controlfunction will be temporarily suspended. The engine control of the traction control function and normal brake operation will notbe affected. Park your vehicle in a safe place. When the temperature in the braking system has come down, the indicator will be turned off and the traction control f
unction will start operat-
ing again.NOTE
The indicator may come on when you start the engine. This means that the battery voltage momentarily dropped when the engine was started. It does not indicate a malfunction, provided that the display goesout immediately.

CAUTION If the 2WD vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the “ON” position 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 switch in the “OFF” or “ACC” position or the oper- ation mode in ACC or OFF. When towing the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “ACC” position orthe operation mode in ACC. Refer to “Towing” on page 8-11.
Cruise control
CAUTION When you do not wish to drive at a set speed, turn off the cruise control for safety. Do not use cruise control when driving con- ditions will not allow you to stay at the same speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roadsthat are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet, slippery, on a steep downhill slope.NOTE
Cruise control may not be able to keep your speed on uphills or downhills. Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill. You may use the accelerator pedal if you want to stay at your set speed. Your speed may increase to more than the set speed on a steep downhill. You have to usethe brake to control your speed. As a result, the set speed driving is deactivated.

The set speed driving is deactivated automati- cally in any of the following ways. When your speed slows to approximately 10 mph (15 km/h) or more below the set speed because of a hill, etc. When your speed slows to approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or less. When the active stability control (ASC) starts operating. Refer to “Active stability control (ASC)” on page 5-79.
Also, the set speed driving may be deacti- vated as follow: When the engine speed rises and approaches the tachometer’s red zone (the red-colored part of the tachometer dial).
N00518901420
If the set speed driving is deactivated by thecondition described in “To deactivate” onpage 5-85, you can resume the previously set speed by push up the “RES +” switch while driving at a speed of approximately 20 mph(30 km/h) or higher. The “SET” indicator appears on the informa- tion screen of the multi-information display.
Under either of the following conditions, however, using the switch does not allow you to resume the previously set speed. In thesesituations, repeat the speed setting procedure: The CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF switch is pressed. The ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position or the operation mode is put in OFF. Indicator go off.
WA R N I N GAlthough the set speed driving will be deactivated when shifting to the “N”(NEUTRAL) position, never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving.You would have no engine braking and could cause a serious accident.
CAUTION When the set speed driving is deactivated automatically in any situation other than those listed above, there may be a system malfunction. Press the CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFFswitch to turn off the cruise control and have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facilityof your choice.

Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC) (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-87

N00576800064
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC) maintains a set speed with no need for you to use the accelerator pedal. Using a sensor (A), the system also measures the relative speedand distance between your vehicle and a vehi- cle in front, and maintains a set following dis- tance between your vehicle and the vehicle infront by automatically decelerating your vehi-cle if it becomes too close to the vehicle in front. The cruising set speed can be set from 20 to110 mph (30 to 180 km/h). The distance can be selected from four levels. If the vehicle in front decelerates, the ACCwill automatically apply limited braking to maintain the distance, and if the front vehicle then accelerates, the ACC will automaticallyaccelerate your vehicle up to the set speed. If your vehicle is approaching too close to the front vehicle, a buzzer will sound and a warn-ing is shown in the multi-information display. When the ACC detects no vehicle ahead, the set speed will be maintained.Conventional cruise control mode without the distance control can also be selected. Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.

(if so equipped)
WA R N I N G Before using the ACC, read this entire sec- tion to understand the limitations of this system. Failure to follow instructions could result in an accident. Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is not a collision avoidance system or anautomatic driving system. It is designed to use only limited braking and is never a substitute for your safe and careful driv-ing. Always be ready to apply the brakes manually.
