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 driving force and steeringperformance as the vehicle turns while press- ing the acceleration pedal.
N00559301074
The skid control function is designed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle onslippery roads or during rapid steering
maneuvers. It works by controlling the engine output and the brake on each wheel.
N00559401336
The ASC is automatically activated when theignition switch is turned to the “ON” positionor the operation mode is put in ON. You can deactivate the system by pressing 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.
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicl
e. This system, like
any other system, has limits and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv-ing can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibillty to drive carefully, This means taking into account the traffic, 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. Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may 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 or the operation mode is put in ON. • 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 whin- ing 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 illuminated, the ASC is not active.

If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys- tem, the following warning light/display will turn on. Warning light
CAUTION For safety reasons, the ASC OFF switch should be operated when your vehicle is stopped.  Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in normal circumstances.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 not allow the engine speed to increase. In such situations, temporarily turning off ASC withthe ASC OFF switch will make it easier to move out your vehicle.  If you continue to press the ASC OFF switch after the ASC is turned off, the “mistaken operation protection function” will activateand the ASC will turn back on.
ASC operation display or ASC OFF indicator
-
ASC operation display/ASC indicator The display/indicator will blink whenthe ASC is operating.
-
ASC OFF indicator This indicator will turn on when theASC is turned off with the ASC OFF switch.
CAUTION When display/indicator blinks, ASC is operating, which means that the road is slip- pery or that your vehicle’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 temporarily suspended. The engine control of the traction controlfunction and normal brake 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 the engine was started. It does not indicate amalfunction, provided that 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.

Warning display
N00546301096 N00518301668
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that keeps a set speed. It can be acti- vated at speeds from approximately 20 mph(30 km/h). Cruise control does not work at speeds below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
CAUTION The system may be malfunctioning. Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop theengine. Restart the engine and check whether the light/display goes out. If they go out, there is no abnormal condition. If they do notgo out or if they turn on frequently, it is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but you should have your vehicle inspectedby an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice as soon as
possible.
To w i n g
CAUTION When towing the vehicle with only the front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the ground, do not place the ignition switch in the “ON” position or do not put the operationmode in ON. Placing the ignition switch in the “ON” position or putting the operation mode in ON could cause the ASC to operate,resulting in an accident. Note that the correct towing method depends on the transmission type and the vehicle’sdrive configuration. For details, refer to “Towing” on page 8-11.
Cruise control
CAUTION When you do not wish to drive at a set speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
 Do not use cruise control when driving con- ditions 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 downhill slope.NOTE
 Cruise control may not be able to keep your speed on uphills or downhills.  Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill. You may use the accelerator pedal if you want to stay at your set speed.  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 result,the set speed driving is deactivated.CAUTION

Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM) (if so equipped)
5-104 Features and controls
5
N00577300125
The Forward Collision Mitigation system
(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of a
collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian
straight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM uses
a sensor (A) to determine the distance and
relative speed to a vehicle and a pedestrian in
front. The FCM is not designed as an auto-
matic driving system or as a collision avoid-
ance system.
When your vehicle is approaching a vehicle
or a pedestrian straight-ahead in your path
and the FCM judges that there is the risk of a
collision, the system will give audible and
visual warnings.
When the FCM judges that a collision with
the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is
imminent, the system will automatically
apply moderate braking to warn you to apply
the brakes immediately.
When the FCM judges that a collision with
the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is
highly unavoidable, the system will apply
emergency braking to reduce the severity of
the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-
lision. Stop lights are illuminated during automatic
braking.Forward Collision Mitiga-
tion system (FCM)
