After operating the vehicle in rough road con- ditions, be sure to perform the followinginspection and maintenance procedures:
 Check that the vehicle has not been dam- aged by rocks, gravel, etc. Carefully wash the vehicle with water. Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal in order to dryout the brakes. If the brakes still do not function properly, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice as
soon as possible to
have the brakes checked.  Remove the inse
cts, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.  After driving through water, check the engine, transaxle and
differential oil. If
the oil or grease is milky or cloudy because of water c
ontamination, it must
be replaced with new oil.  Check the inside of the vehicle. If water entry is found, dry the carpet etc. Inspect the headlights. If water is in the headlight housing, have
it drained at an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.

Since the driving torque can be applied to the four wheels, the driving performance of the vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the
condition of the tires.
Pay close attention to the tires. Install only the specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” onpage 11-7.  Be sure all four tire
s and wheels are the
same size
and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of the tires or wheels, replace all four.  All tires should be rotated before the wear difference between the
front and rear tires
is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a difference in wearbetween tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on page 9-22.  Check the tire inflati
on pressure regularly.
CAUTIONNever drive through water that is deep enough to cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaust pipe. Do not change th
e selector lever posi-
tion while driving through water. Frequent driving through water can adversely affect the life
span of the vehicle;
consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice and
take the necessary measures to prepare,inspect, and repair the vehicle. After driving through wa
ter, apply the brakes
to be sure they are functioning properly. If the brakes are wet and not functioning prop- erly, dry them out by
driving slowly while
lightly depressing the
brake pedal. Inspect
each part of the vehicle carefully.

cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi-cle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning light will come on and the warningdisplay will appear on the information screen in the multi information display. Under normal conditions
, the warning light
come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or
the operation mode is
put in ON, and goes off after the engine hasstarted.
N00559100147
The Active stability
control (ASC) takes
overall control of the
anti-lock braking sys-
tem, traction control function and skid controlfunction to help maintain the vehicle’s control and traction. Please read
this section in con-
junction with the page on the anti-lock brak-ing system, traction control function and skid control function. Anti-lock braking system
 P.5-97
Traction control function
 P.5-101
Skid control function

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 ac
cident.
NOTE
During repeated full-lock turning of the steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicl
e into a parking
space), a protection
function may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This f
unction will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. Inthis event, limit your turning 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 to their original brightne
ss after a short while.
Electric power steering system warning display
CAUTION If the warning displa
y appears while the
engine is running, have
the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice as soon as
possible. It may become harder to turn the steering wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physicsfrom acting on the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has li
mits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of thevehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accident
s. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This meanstaking into account the tr
affic, road and envi-
ronmental conditions. Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire on all four wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not work properly.
