On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the drive wheels from spin-
ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle to start 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.
N00559300051
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.
N00559400254
The ASC is automatically activated when theignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON. You can
deactivate the system
by pressing down the
“ASC OFF” switch for
3 seconds or 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.
 Do not install any af
termarket limited slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASCmay stop functioning properly.NOTE
 An operating sound or vibration may be emitted from under the body in the followingsituations. The sound or
vibration is associ-
ated with checking th
e operations of the
ASC. At this time, you may feel a shockfrom under the body and the brake pedal if you depress it. These do
not indicate a mal-
function. • When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is putin ON. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is turned on.
 When the ASC is acti
vated, 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 operatingnormally. It does not i
ndicate a malfunction.
 When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

N00520500804
This indicator is a pa
rt of the onboard diag-
nostic (OBD) system which monitors the emissions, engine control system or continu- ously variable transmission (CVT) controlsystem. If a problem is detected in one of these systems, this indicator illuminates or flashes. When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, this indicator normally comes onand goes off after the engine has started. This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not properly tightened. If this indicator comes on and stays on after refuel-ing, stop the engine and check that the cap is properly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwise until you hear clicking sounds.)If this indicator does not go off after several seconds or lights up whil
e driving, have the
system checked as s
oon as possible at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
CAUTION If the brake warning light and the Anti-lock braking system warning
light are illuminated
at the same time, the braking force distribu-tion function will not
operate, the vehicle
may be destabilized
during sudden braking
under the following conditions.• When the brake warning light does not goout even when the parking brake isreleased.• When the brake warning light stays onwhile driving.If the above occurs, avoid sudden brakingand high-speed driving.
Park the vehicle in a
safe place, and c
ontact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facilityof your choice as soon as possible. The vehicle should be br
ought to a halt in the
following manner when
brake performance
is deteriorated.• Confirm that the vehicle slows down whenyou press down on the brake pedal harder than usual. In some cases, the brake pedalmay go all the way to the floor.• Should the brakes fail, use engine brakingto reduce your speed and slowly apply the parking brake. Depress the brake pedal to illuminate thestop lights and to aler
t the vehicles behind
you.
Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
CAUTION Driving for a long time
with the engine mal-
function indicator on may cause more dam-age to the emission control system. Thiscould also affect fuel
economy and drivabil-
ity. If this indicator does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion or the operation mode is put in ON, havethe system checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice. If the engine malfunction indicator comes on while the engine is running, avoid driving athigh speeds. During vehicle
operation with the indicator
on, the vehicle may not
accelerate when you
depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle is stat
ionary with the indi-
cator on, you must depr
ess the brake pedal
more firmly than usual since the engine idling speed is higher th
an usual and a vehi-
cle with a CVT has a stronger tendency tocreep forward.

All parts of the brake system are critical to safety. Have the vehicle serviced by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice at regular intervals according to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately
after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally.A film of water can be formed on the brake discs or brake drums, and prevent normal braking after driving in heavy rain or throughlarge puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brakepedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brak
es less effective.
While driving in such conditions, pay closeattention to surrounding
vehicles and to the
condition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal andcheck how effective the brakes are. It is important to take
advantage of the engine
braking by downshifting while driving on steep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
N00629601372
When parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill, or away from the curb on an uphill.If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels. Place the gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position when parking on a down- hill slope, into the 1st position when parking on an uphill slope. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set when parked and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. When parking on a hill, it is important to setthe parking brake before
moving the selector
lever to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre- vents loading the parking brake against the

If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder, orthe shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly with the haza
rd lights flashing until
you come to a safe stopping place. Keep theflashers flashing. If the engine stops, there will be no power assist to the steering and brakes, making these difficult to use.  The brake booster will not work, so the brakes will not grip well. The brake pedal will be harder to press than usual.  Since there is no power steering assist, the steering wheel will be hard to turn.
Get help from your passengers, bystanders, etc. to push the vehicle
and move it to a safe
area.

If the operation mode
cannot be changed to
OFF, perform the following procedure. 1. Move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position, and then change the operation mode to OF
F. (For vehicles
with CVT)2. One of the other causes could be low bat- tery voltage. If this occurs, the keyless entry system and the F.A.S.T.-key opera-tion will also not operate. Contact an authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer.

If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or de
ad, you can start it with
the battery from anothe
r vehicle using jumper
cables.
1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets th
at might create an
accidental electrical contact. 2. Position the vehicles close enoughtogether so that the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.

WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of igniting flammable gas that may be emi
tted from the battery,
carefully read this section before jump-starting the vehicle. Do not try to start you
r vehicle by pushing
or towing. This can cause an accident resulting in serious
injury or death and
can damage the vehicle.NOTE
 Do not use jumper cables if they have dam- age or corrosion.CAUTION Check the other vehicle.
It must have a 12-
volt battery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt,both systems can be damaged.

3. You could be injured if the vehicles move. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehi-cle. Put an automatic transaxle or CVT in “P” (PARK) or a manual transaxle in “N” (Neutral).4. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position or put the operation mode in OFF. 5. Make sure your batt
ery electrolyte is at
the proper level. (Refer to “Battery” on page 9-11.) 6. Connect one end of one jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery (A),
and then connect the
other end to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery (B).
7. Connect one end of the other jumper cable
to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery (B), a
nd then connect the
other end to the designated ground location of the vehicl
e with the discharged
battery (A) at the point farthest from the battery. 8. Start the engine in the vehicle providing the boost. Let the engine idle a few min- utes, then start the engine in the vehiclewith the discharged battery. 9. After the engine is
started, disconnect the
cables in the reverse order from the wayyou connected them.
NOTE
 Turn off all lights, heat
er, and other electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help save both batteries.WA R N I N G If the electrolyte flui
d is not visible, or
looks frozen, DO NOT ATTEMPT JUMP STARTING!! The battery might split open or explode ifthe temperature is below the freezing point or if it is not filled to the proper level.
WA R N I N G Make sure that the jumper cables and your clothing are clear of the cooling fansand drive belts. Entanglement with the fans or belts can ca
use serious personal
injury.NOTE
 Open the terminal cover before connecting the jumper cable to the positive terminal ofthe battery. (Refer to “Battery:
Disconnection and con-
nection” on page 9-11.)  Use the proper cables suitable for the battery size.Otherwise heat damage
to the cables could
result.
WA R N I N G Be sure to follow the proper order when connecting the batteries, of: 
 Make sure that the connection is made to the correct designated location (as shown in the illustration) properly. If theconnection is directly made to the negative (-) terminal of the battery, the flammable gases from inside the battery might catchfire and explode, caus
ing personal injury.
When connecting the jumper cable, do not connect the positive (+) cable to the nega- tive (-) terminal. Sparks can make the bat- tery explode.
