NOTE
If 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).

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 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.NOTE
The 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

ASC OFF switch
N00559400209
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the
ASC automatically turns ON. If the ASC OFF switch is
pressed to turn OFF the ASC, the display in the meter
comes on. Press the switch again to turn ON the ASC.
NOTE
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 the
ASC with the “ASC OFF” switch will make it easier to
move out your vehicle.

By pressing the ASC OFF switch, both the skid control
function and the traction control function are turned OFF.

By pressing down the “ASC OFF” switch for 3 seconds or
longer, you can deactivate the ASC and the braking con-
trol of the AYC.
At this time, the display will appear for a few sec-
onds.
Then, the previous screen will return and the “!” mark will
come on.
Press the ASC OFF switch again to turn ON the ASC.

If the ASC OFF switch is continuously pressed after the
ASC has been turned OFF or the ASC and the braking
control of AYC have been turned off, an erroneous opera-
tion prevention function operates and the ASC is automat-
ically turned ON.
CAUTION
!
For safety reasons, press the ASC OFF switch when
the vehicle is stopped.

Power brakes
N00517600380
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking
force with minimal brake pedal effort.
Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the
power assist is lost.
If the power assist is lost, the effort needed to press the brake
pedal is greater.
If you lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will
still work.
If the power brake unit or either of the two brake hydraulic sys-
tems stops working properly, the rest of the brake system will
still work, but the vehicle will not slow down as quickly.
You will know this has happened if you find you need to
depress the brake pedal down further, or harder when slowing
down or stopping, or if the brake warning light and the warning
display in the multi-information display come on.
Brake pad wear alarm
N00532500117
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes a metallic squeal
when the brake pads have worn down enough to need service.
If you hear this sound continuously, have the brake pads
inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice.NOTE
When the brakes are applied, a faint noise may be heard,
but this is a characteristic of high-performance brakes; it
does not indicate a problem.
WA R N I N G
!
Never coast downhill with the engine OFF. Keep the
engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion.
If you turn off the engine while driving, the power
brake booster will stop working and your brakes
will not work as well.
If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic
system stops working properly, take your vehicle to
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice immediately.
WA R N I N G
!
Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to
stop, and can cause an accident.

NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for
regularly checking tire inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tire inflation pressures as described in
“Tires” on page 7-19.

Each of the grommets and washers where the tire inflation
pressure sensors are mounted should be replaced with new
ones when the tire is replaced.
For details, contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
Tire pressure monitoring system warning light /
display
N00554800110
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the
tire pressure monitoring system warning light normally illumi-
nates and goes off a few seconds later.
If one or more of the vehicle tires (except for the spare tire) is
significantly under-inflated, the warning light will remain illu-
minated while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
Refer to “If the warning light/display illuminates while driv-
ing” on page 3-149 and take the necessary measures.NOTE
In addition, the warning display is displayed on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information display.

NOTE
In addition, the warning display is displayed on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information display.
CAUTION
!
If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
does not illuminate when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position, it means that the tire
pressure monitoring system is not working properly.
Have the system inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.
If a malfunction is detected in the tire pressure mon-
itoring system, the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light will blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. The
warning light will issue further warnings each time
the engine is restarted as long as the malfunction
exists.
Check to see whether the warning light goes off after
few minutes driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no prob-
lem.
However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it
blinks again when the engine is restarted, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. For safety reasons, when the warning light
appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp
turning and high-speed driving.
