2019 MITSUBISHI L200 Owner's Manual (in English)

The power steering system has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is lost. 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 more effort to steer. If this happens, have your ve-
hicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.:ARN,NGz 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.CAUT,ONz Do not leave the steering wheel turned all
the way in one direction. This can causedamage to the power steering system.Active Stability Traction
Control (ASTC)*
The active stability & traction control (ASTC) takes overall control of the anti-lock
brake system, Active Stability Control func-
tion and active traction control function to
help maintain the vehicle’s control and trac- tion. Please read this section in conjunction with the pages on the anti-lock brake system,
Active Stability Control function and active
traction control function.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) o p. 6-56
Active Stability Control function o p. 6-60
Active Traction Control function o p. 6-61CAUT,ONz Do not over-rely on the ASTC. Even the
ASTC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle.
This system, like any other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstan- ces. Reckless driving may lead to accidents.
It is the driver’s responsibility to drive care- fully. This means taking into account the
traffic, road and environmental conditions.
z Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, the
ASTC may not work correctly.CAUT,ONz Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The Ac- tive Stability Control function may stop functioning properly.NOTEz 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 ASTC. At this time,
you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if
you depress it. These do not indicate a mal- function.

NOTEzOn vehicles with the rear differential lock,
the ASTC and ABS functions are suspended
while the rear differential lock is activated. ASTC indication lamp, ASTC OFF indica-
tion lamp and ABS warning lamp are illumi- nated while these functions are suspended. It
does not indicate a problem. When the rear
differential lock is disengaged, these lamps go out and function again.
Refer to “ABS warning lamp” on page 6-57,
“ASTC indication lamp, ASTC OFF indica-
tion lamp” on page 6-61.Active Stability Control func-
tion
The Active Stability Control function is de- signed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle on slippery roads or during rapid
steering manoeuvres. It works by controlling the engine output and brake on each wheel.
NOTEz The Active Stability Control function does
not operate when the drive mode-selector isin the “4L” position (Easy Select 4WD),“4LLc” position (Super Select 4WD II).
When the Active Stability Control function
is operating with the drive mode-selector in the “2H” or “4H” position (Easy Select
4WD), “2H”, “4H” or “4HLc” position (Su-
per Select 4WD II), setting the drive mode- selector to the “4L” (Easy Select 4WD), “4LLc” position (Super Select 4WD II) posi-
tion makes the Active Stability Control func-
tion deactivate automatically.
z The Active Stability Control function oper-
ates at speeds of about 15 km/h (9 mph) or
higher.
z On vehicles with the rear differential lock,
the Active Stability Control function does not operate when the rear differential lock is
activated.“ASC OFF” switch
The Active Stability Control function is auto-
matically activated when the ignition switchis turned to the “ON” position or the opera-
tion mode is put in ON. You can deactivate
the system by pressing down the “ASC OFF”
switch for 3 seconds or longer.
When the Active Stability Control function is
deactivated, the
indicator will turn on. To
reactivate the ASC, momentarily press the “ASC OFF” switch; the
indicator is turned
off.
CAUT,ONz For safety reasons, the “ASC OFF” switch
should only be operated when the vehicle isstopped.
z Be sure to keep the Active Stability Control
function on while driving in normal circum-
stances.

Driving hints
When extricating the vehicle from mud, sand
or fresh snow with the drive mode-selector in the “2H” or “4H” position (Easy Select 4WD) or “2H”, “4H” or “4HLc” position
(Super Select 4WD II), you may find that op- eration of the ASTC prevents the engine
speed from increasing in response to depres- sion of the accelerator pedal. If this happensand the vehicle remains stuck as a result, place the drive mode-selector in the “4L” po-
sition (Easy Select 4WD), “4LLc” position
(Super Select 4WD II), or turn the Active Stability Control switch OFF. The vehicle
will then be easier to extricate. (Brake control of the active traction control function is still working to prevent wheel spins when ASC OFF switch “OFF”, “4L” position (Easy Se- lect 4WD) or “4LLc” position (Super Select4WD II) selected.)
NOTEz If you continue to press the “ASC OFF”
switch after the Active Stability Control
function is turned off, the “mistaken opera- tion protection function” will activate and the Active Stability Control function will
turn back on.
z Even if the Active Stability Control function
is turned off, it may activate depending on
the vehicle’s movement.Active Traction Control func-
tion
On slippery surfaces, the active traction con- trol function prevents the drive wheels from spinning excessive, thus helping the vehicle
to start moving from a stopped condition. It
also provides sufficient driving force and
steering performance as the vehicle turns while pressing the acceleration pedal.
CAUT,ONz When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy
road, be sure to install snow tyres and drive
the vehicle at moderate speeds.ASTC indication lamp, ASTC

If the indication lamps stay on or do not illu-
minate when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, we recommend you to have your
vehicle inspected as soon as possible.

bility Control function or active traction con-
trol function is operating, which means that
the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels are beginning to slip. If this happens, drive slower with less accelerator input.
z If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys-
tem while driving, the
indication lamp
will illuminate.
In these cases, follow these procedures:

CAUT,ONzDo not over-rely on TSA system.
Due to the slippery road surface, heavy side wind, inappropriate weight and positioning
of luggage, and/or driving at high speed,
TSA system may fail to secure the stability.
Always drive appropriately in accordance with the condition of traffic, road surface condition, weather, and the weight and posi-tioning of luggage.
