NOTEIf the ambient temperature drops and the viscosity of the
AWC control fluid increases, the warning may be dis-
played.
At this time, S-AWC control is temporarily suspended,
but this will not affect normal driving.
After the vehicle is driven for a while, if the engine is
restarted after the AWC control fluid warms up or the
ambient temperature increases, the S-AWC control will
start operating again if the warning display goes out.
Anti-lock braking system
N00517900295
The anti-lock braking system helps prevent the wheels from
locking up when braking. This helps maintain vehicle drivabil-
ity and steering wheel handling.Driving hints Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of
you. Even if your vehicle is equipped with the anti-lock
braking system, leave a greater braking distance when:
• Driving on gravel or snow-covered roads.
• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted to
situations where brakes are applied suddenly. This system
may also prevent the wheels from locking when you drive
over manholes, steel roadwork plates, road markings, or
any uneven road surface.
When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel
the brake pedal pulsation and the vibrations of the vehicle
body and steering wheel. It may also feel as if the pedal
resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down
firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in
reduced braking performance.
CAUTION
!The system may be malfunctioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the warn-
ing display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” go out.
If the warning display and “SERVICE
REQUIRED” go out, there is no abnormal condi-
tion. If the warning display and “SERVICE
REQUIRED” do not go out or appear frequently, it
is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but
we recommend that you have your vehicle inspected.

An operation noise is emitted from the engine compart-
ment or feel a shock from the brake pedal when start driv-
ing immediately after starting the engine. These are
normal sound or operation that the anti-lock braking sys-
tem makes when performing a self-check. It does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle
has reached a speed over approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
It stops working when the vehicle slows below approxi-
mately 3 mph (5 km/h).
Anti-lock braking system warning light / display
N00531600632
Warning light
Warning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, the anti-lock braking
system warning light will come on and the warning display
will appear on the information screen in the multi-information
display.
Under normal conditions, the anti-lock braking system warning
light only comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position and goes off a few seconds later.
CAUTION
!The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent acci-
dents. It is your responsibility to take safety precau-
tions and to drive carefully. To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system,
be sure all 4 wheels and tires are the same size and
the same type.Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip differen-
tial (LSD) on your vehicle. The anti-lock braking
system may stop functioning properly.

If the warning light / display comes on while driv-
ing
N00531700561
If only the anti-lock braking system warning light / dis-
play comes onAvoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in
a safe place.
Test the system by restarting the engine and driving at a speed
of about 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher.
If the warning light / display then remain off during driving,
there is no abnormal condition.
However, if the warning light / display do not disappear, or if
they come on again when the vehicle is driven, have the vehi-
cle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or
repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.
CAUTION
!Any of the following indicates that the anti-lock
braking system is not functioning and only the stan-
dard brake system is working. (The standard brake
system is functioning normally.) If this happens,
take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
• When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position,
the warning light does not come on or it remains
on and does not go off.
• The warning light comes on while driving.
• The warning display appears while driving.

If the anti-lock braking system warning light / display
and brake warning light / display come on at the same
timeWarning light
The anti-lock braking system and brake force distribution func-
tion may not work, so hard braking could make the vehicle
unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in
a safe place and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or repair facility of your choice.NOTEThe anti-lock braking system warning light and brake
warning light illuminate at the same time and the warning
displays appear alternately on the information screen in
the multi-information display.
After driving on icy roads
N00529200035
After driving on snow or icy roads, remove any snow and ice
which may have been left around the wheels. On vehicles that
have an anti-lock braking system, be careful not to damage the
wheel speed sensors (A) or the cables located at each wheel.Front

3Active stability control (ASC)
N00559100121
The active stability control (ASC) takes overall control of the
anti-lock braking system, traction control function and skid
control function to help maintain the vehicle’s control and trac-
tion. Please read this section in conjunction with the pages on
the anti-lock braking system, traction control function and skid
control function.

CAUTION
!Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on
the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has
limits and cannot help you to maintain traction and
control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless
driving can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s
responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking
into account the traffic, road and environmental
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 differen-
tial (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop func-
tioning properly.

NOTEAn operation noise may be emitted from the engine com-
partment in the following situations. The sound is associ-
ated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this
time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you
depress it. These do not indicate a malfunction.
• 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 activated, you may feel a vibration in
the vehicle body or hear a whining 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 illu-
minated, the ASC is not active.
Traction control function
N00559200021
On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the
drive wheels from spinning excessive, thus helping the vehicle
to start moving from a stopped condition. It also provides suffi-
cient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle
turns while pressing the acceleration pedal.Skid control function
N00546800010
The skid control function is designed to help the driver main-
tain control of the vehicle on slippery roads or during rapid
steering maneuvers. It works by controlling the engine output
and the brake on each wheel.NOTEThe skid control function operates at speeds of about
9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.
CAUTION
!When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy road, be
sure to install snow tires and drive the vehicle at
moderate speeds.
