NOTE
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 the
ASC with the “ASC OFF” switch will make it easier to
move out your vehicle.

By pressing the ASC OFF switch, both the skid control
function and the traction control function are turned OFF.

By pressing down the “ASC OFF” switch for 3 seconds or
longer, you can deactivate the ASC and the braking con-
trol of the AYC.
At this time, the display will appear for a few sec-
onds.
Then, the previous screen will return and the “!” mark will
come on.
Press the ASC OFF switch again to turn ON the ASC.

If the ASC OFF switch is continuously pressed after the
ASC has been turned OFF or the ASC and the braking
control of AYC have been turned off, an erroneous opera-
tion prevention function operates and the ASC is automat-
ically turned ON.
ASC operation display or ASC OFF display
N00546500091
NOTE
The display 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 mal-
function, provided that the display goes out immediately.

When a compact spare tire has been put on your vehicle,
the gripping ability of the tire will be lower, making it
more likely that the display/indicator will blink.
- ASC operation display/ASC indicator
The display/indicator will blink when the ASC is operat-
ing.
-ASC OFF display
The display is displayed when the ASC has been deac-
tivated with the “ASC OFF” switch.
CAUTION
!
When display/indicator blinks, ASC is operating,
which means that the road is slippery or that your
vehicle’s wheels are beginning to slip. If this hap-
pens, drive slower.

NOTE
Once the brake assist system is operational, it maintains
great braking force even if the brake pedal is lightly
released.
To stop its operation, completely remove your foot from
the brake pedal.

The brake assist system may become operational when the
brake pedal is fully depressed even if it has not been
depressed suddenly.

When the brake assist system is in use while driving, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is soft, the pedal
moves in small motions in conjunction with the operation
noise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate.
This occurs when the brake assist system is operating nor-
mally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.

You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is
depressed suddenly while stationary. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction and the brake assist system is operating
normally.
Power steering system
N00518000293
The power steering system operates while the engine is run-
ning. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering
wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical steering capability
in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for
some reason, you will still be able to steer your vehicle. If the
power assist is lost, you will notice it takes much more effort to
steer and that there is much more “free play” in the steering
wheel. If this happens, take your vehicle to an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
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 acci-
dent.
CAUTION
!
Do not leave the steering wheel turned all the way in
one direction. This can cause damage to the power
steering system.

Tire pressure monitoring system warning light /
display
N00554800110
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the
tire pressure monitoring system warning light normally illumi-
nates and goes off a few seconds later.
If one or more of the vehicle tires (except for the spare tire) is
significantly under-inflated, the warning light will remain illu-
minated while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
Refer to “If the warning light/display illuminates while driv-
ing” on page 3-147 and take the necessary measures.NOTE
In addition, the warning display is displayed on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information display.
CAUTION
!
If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
does not illuminate when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position, it means that the tire
pressure monitoring system is not working properly.
Have the system inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.
If a malfunction is detected in the tire pressure mon-
itoring system, the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light will blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. The
warning light will issue further warnings each time
the engine is restarted as long as the malfunction
exists.
Check to see whether the warning light goes off after
few minutes driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no prob-
lem.
However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it
blinks again when the engine is restarted, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. For safety reasons, when the warning light
appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp
turning and high-speed driving.

N00554900166
Each time you press this button, there is a sound and the bright-
ness of the instruments changes.NOTE
You can adjust to 8 different levels respectively for when
the front side-marker and parking lights are illuminated
and when they are not.

If the vehicle is equipped with the automatic light control,
when the light switch is in a position other than the “OFF”
position, the meter illumination switches automatically to
the adjusted brightness, depending on the brightness out-
side the vehicle.

The brightness level of the instruments is stored when the
ignition switch is turned off.

If you press and hold the button for longer than about 1
second when the front side-marker and parking lights are
illuminated, the brightness level changes to the maximum
level. Pressing and holding the button for longer than
about 1 second again returns the brightness level to the
previous level.
