Hill start assist
(if so equipped)
CAUTION Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to prevent backwards movement of the vehicle.Under certain circumstances, even when hillstart assist is activated, the vehicle may move backwards if the brake pedal is not suf- ficiently depresse
d, if the vehicle is heavily
loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery. The hill start assist is not designed to keep the vehicle stopped in
place on uphill slopes
for more than 2 seconds. When facing uphill, do not rely on using the hill start assist to
maintain a stopped position
as an alternative to depressing the brake pedal. Doing so could cause an accident. Do not turn the igniti
on switch to the “OFF”,
“LOCK” or “ACC” po
sition while the hill
start assist is operating. The hill start assist could stop operating,
which could result in
an accident.
To operate

NOTE
 The hill start assist is activated when all of the following c
onditions are met.
• The engine is running. (The hill start assist
will not be activated
while the engine is st
arting or immediately
after the engine is started.) • The selector lever is
in any position other
than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). • The vehicle is comple
tely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed. • The parking brake is released.  The hill start assist wi
ll not operate if the

Warning display
N00567301132
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who cannot depress the brake pedal firmly such as in em
ergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force. If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.
N00517900240
The anti-lock braking
system helps prevent
the wheels from locking up when braking.This helps maintain vehicle drivability and steering wheel handling.  When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden braking), steering is slightly different from normal driving conditions. Use the steering wheel carefully. Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi- cle is equipped with
the anti-lock braking
system, leave a greater braking distance when: • Driving on gravel or snow-coveredroads. • Driving on uneven road surfaces.
CAUTION If the warning is displayed, the hill start assist will not
operate. Start off carefully.
Park your vehicle in a
safe place and stop the
engine.Restart the engine and check whether the indicator/display goes out
, in which case the
hill start assist is again working normally. If they remain displayed or reappear fre- quently, it is not necessa
ry to stop the vehicle
immediately, but th
e vehicle should be
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon
as possible.
Brake assist system
CAUTIONThe brake assist system is not a device designed to exercise
braking force greater
than its capacity. Make
sure to always keep a
sufficient distance be
tween your vehicle and
a vehicle in front of you without relying too much on the brake assist system.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 removeyour foot from the brake pedal.  The brake assist syst
em may become opera-
tional 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 depressedbrake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in small motions in conjunction with the operation noise, or the vehicle body and the steeringwheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake assist system is ope
rating normally and does
not indicate faulty
operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.  You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is suddenl
y or fully depressed
while stationary. This
does not indicate a
malfunction and the brak
e assist system is
operating normally.
 When the anti-lock brake system warning light or only active st
ability control warning
light illuminate, the brake assist system innot functioning.

N00559200021
On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the drive wheels from spin- ning excessive, thus
helping the vehicle to
start moving from a stopped condition. It also
provides sufficient driv
ing force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while press-ing the acceleration pedal.
N00559300019
The skid control function is designed to helpthe driver maintain control of the vehicle on slippery roads or during rapid steering maneuvers. It works by controlling the engineoutput and the brake on each wheel.
N00559401307
The ASC is automatically activated when theignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi-tion. You can deactivate
the system by press-
ing 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 operation noise may be emitted from the engine compartment in the following situa-tions. The sound is associated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if youdepress it. These do not indicate a malfunc- tion. • 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 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 operating normally. It does not i
ndicate a malfunction.
 When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

NOTE
 Using the ASC OFF switch turns off both the stability control function and the tractioncontrol function.  When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may notallow the engine speed to increase. In such situations, temporarily turning off ASC with the ASC OFF switch will make it easier tomove out your vehicle.  If you continue to press the ASC OFF switch after the ASC is turned off, the “mistaken operation protection f
unction” will activate
and the ASC will turn back on.
ASC operation display or ASC OFF indicator
-
ASC operation display/ASC indicator The display/indicator will blink when the ASC is operating.
-
ASC OFF indicator This indicator will turn on when the ASC is turned off with the ASC OFFswitch.
CAUTION When display/indi
cator blinks, ASC is
operating, which means th
at the road is slip-
pery or that your vehi
cle’s wheels are begin-
ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower. If the temperature in the braking system con- tinues to increase due
to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the indicator will blink. To prevent the brake system from overheat-ing, the brake control of the traction control function will be te
mporarily suspended.
The engine control of
the traction control
function and normal br
ake operation will not
be affected. Park your vehicle in a safe place. When thetemperature in the braking system has come down, the indicator will be turned off and the traction control function will start operat- ing again.NOTE
 The indicator may come on when you start the engine. This means that the battery voltage momentarily dropped when theengine was started. It
does not indicate a
malfunction, provided th
at the display goes
out immediately.
 When a spare tire has been put on your vehi- cle, the gripping ability of the tire will be lower, making it more
likely that the dis-
play/indicator will blink.

N00576800048
ACC maintains a set speed with no need for you to use the accelera
tor pedal. Using a sen-
sor (A), the system also measures the relative speed and distance betw
een your vehicle and
a vehicle in front, and
maintains a set follow-
ing distance between
your vehicle and the
vehicle in front by au
tomatically decelerating
your vehicle if it becomes too close to the vehicle in front. The cruising set speed can be set from 25mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180 km/h). The distance can be select
ed from three levels.
If the vehicle in front decelerates, the ACCwill automatically apply limited braking to maintain the distance, a
nd if the front vehicle
then accelerates, the ACC will automaticallyaccelerate your vehicle
up to the set speed. If
your vehicle is approa
ching too close to the
front vehicle, a buzzer will sound and a warn-ing is shown in the multi information display. When the ACC detects no vehicle ahead, the set speed will be maintained.Conventional cruise cont
rol mode without the
distance control can
also be selected.
Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.
CAUTION When the set speed driving is deactivated automatically in any
situation other than
those listed above, th
ere may be a system
malfunction. Press the CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF switch to turn off the cruise control and haveyour vehicle inspected by an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer or
