3 Active stability control (ASC)
N00559100121
The active stability control (ASC) takes overall control of the
anti-lock braking system, traction control function and skid
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 braking system, traction control function and skid
control function.
Anti-lock braking system → P. 3 - 1 2 5
Traction control function → P. 3 - 1 3 0
Skid control function → P. 3 - 1 3 0
NOTE
An operation noise may be emitted from the engine com-
partment in the following situations. The sound is associ-
ated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this
time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you
depress it. These do not indicate a malfunction.
• 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 whining 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 illu-
minated, the ASC is not active.
CAUTION
!
Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on
the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has
limits and cannot help you to maintain traction and
control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless
driving can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s
responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking
into account the traffic, road and environmental
conditions.
Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire
on all four wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not
work properly.
Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip differen-
tial (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop func-
tioning properly.

NOTE
If the cruise control is on when the ignition switch is
turned to “LOCK” or “ACC” position, cruise control will
be on automatically the next time you start the engine.
The “CRUISE” indicator light will also be on.

If the battery voltage is insufficient, the memory data for
the cruise control may be erased.
As a result, the “CRUISE” indicator light may not come
on when you restart the engine.
If this happens, press the “ON OFF” switch once again to
turn on the cruise control.
2. Confirm that the Twin Clutch SST control mode is set to
“Normal”.
Refer to “Twin Clutch SST control mode” on page 3-103.NOTE
The cruising speed cannot be set when the Twin Clutch
SST control mode is set to “Sport” mode or “S-Sport”
mode.3. Accelerate or decelerate to your desired speed, then press
and release the “COAST SET” switch (B) when the
“CRUISE” indicator light is illuminated. The vehicle will
then maintain the desired speed.
NOTE
When you release the “COAST SET” switch, the vehicle
speed will be set.

tions will be reset to zero.

When the ignition switch has been set to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position for about 4 hours or more, the average
speed display will automatically reset.
NOTE
The average speed display and the average fuel consump-
tion display can be reset separately in both auto reset
mode and manual reset mode.

“---” is displayed when the average speed cannot be mea-
sured.

The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset mode”.

The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
(mph or km/h).
Refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-172.

The average speed display memories for auto reset mode
and manual reset mode are erased if the battery is discon-
nected.Average fuel consumption displayThis displays the average fuel consumption from the last reset
to the present.
There are 2 types of mode settings as follows.
For details on how to change the average fuel consumption dis-
play setting, refer to “Changing the function settings (With
ignition switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-172.
The “ ” mark in the momentary fuel gauge shows the average
fuel consumption.
Manual reset mode

Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
N00520500745
This indicator is a part of the onboard diagnostic (OBD) sys-
tem which monitors the emissions, engine control system or
Twin Clutch SST control system. If a problem is detected in
one of these systems, this indicator comes on. When the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position, this indicator nor-
mally comes on and 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
refueling, 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 while driving, have the system checked as soon 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 distribution function will not
operate, so the vehicle may be destabilized during
sudden braking under the following conditions.
• When the brake warning light does not go out even
when the parking brake is released.
• When the brake warning light stays on while driv-
ing.
• If the above occurs, avoid sudden braking and
high-speed driving. Park the vehicle in a safe
place, and contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as
soon as possible.

The vehicle should be brought to a halt in the follow-
ing manner when brake performance is deterio-
rated.
• Confirm that the vehicle slows down when you
press down on the brake pedal harder than usual.
In some cases, the brake pedal may go all the way
to the floor.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking to
reduce your speed and slowly apply the parking
brake.
Depress the brake pedal to illuminate the stop
lights to alert the vehicles behind you.
CAUTION
!
Driving for a long time with the engine malfunction
indicator on may cause more damage to the emission
control system. This could also affect fuel economy
and drivability.
If this indicator does not come on when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position, have the sys-
tem checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
