Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine lOperation of ABS is not restricted to situa-
tions where brakes are applied suddenly.
This system may also operate to prevent
wheel lock when you are driving over man-
holes, steel road-work plates, or the vehicle
is driven over steps or level differences in
the road, road markings, or other surfaces
which are difficult for the wheels to grip.
l When the ABS is activated, you may feel the
brake pedal pulsating and hear a characteris-
tic noise. Also at this time, it may feel as if
the pedal attempts to resist being depressed.
In this situation, to let the ABS work for
you, just hold the brake pedal down more
firmly. Do not pump the brake. This will
result in reduced braking performance.CAUTIONl Even the ABS cannot prevent the natural
laws of physics from acting on the vehi-
cle. It cannot for instance avoid accidents
that may result from excessive speed on
bends or following another vehicle too
closely or aquaplaning. It should remain
the driver’s task to observe safety precau-
tions to judge speeds and brake applica-
tions correctly in such conditions.
l Be sure to use tyres of the same type and
size on 4 wheels.
If tyre types or sizes are mixed, ABS may
not function properly.CAUTIONl Never install a limited-slip differential,
which is not MITSUBISHI MOTORS gen-
uine parts, as the ABS may not function
properly.
We recommend to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.ABS warning lamp E00607200835
The ABS warning lamp comes on and a buzzer
sounds in the event of a malfunction in the anti-
lock brake system. It will also come on as a self-
check for a few seconds when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position, and the lamp goes off
after a few seconds. Always make sure that the
lamp goes out before beginning to drive.
CAUTIONl If the warning lamp stays on or does not
illuminate when you start the vehicle, it in-
dicates that the ABS is not functioning
and that only the standard brake system
is in operation. (In this condition the stand-
ard hydraulic brake system will still func-
tion.) We recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.If the warning lamp illuminates while
driving E00607301035
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates
l Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see whether
the lamp goes out after a few minutes driv-
ing; if it then remains off during driving,
there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it
lights up again when the vehicle is driven,
we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.

40 km/h (25 mph) or more.CAUTIONl When you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
l Do not use cruise control when driving
conditions will not allow you to stay at
the same speed, such as in heavy traffic
or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-
covered, wet, slippery, on a steep down-
hill slope.
l On vehicles with M/T, do not move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion while driving at a set speed without
depressing the clutch pedal. The engine
will run too fast and might be damaged.
NOTE
l Cruise control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.
l Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.
l Your speed may increase to more than the
set speed on a steep downhill. You have to
use the brake to control your speed. As a re-
sult, the set speed driving is deactivated.
