Warning indicator
N00562800092
If an abnormal condition occurs in the system, the following
indicator will turn on.
Brake assist system
N00567300092
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who can-
not depress the brake pedal firmly such as in emergency stop
situations and provides greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be
applied with more force than usual.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 remove your foot from
the brake pedal.

When the brake assist system is in use while driving, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is soft, the pedal
moves in small motions in conjunction with the operation
noise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate.
This occurs when the brake assist system is operating nor-
mally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.

When the anti-lock brake system warning light is illumi-
nated, the brake assist system is not functioning.
-ASC indicator
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
goes out, in which case the hill start assist is again
working normally.
If they remain displayed or reappear frequently, it is
not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but
the vehicle should be inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice as soon as possible.
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
between vehicles in front of you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.

NOTE
Using the “ASC OFF” switch turns off both the stability
control function and the traction control 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
with the “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 activate and the ASC will turn back on.
ASC operation indicator or ASC OFF indicator
N00546500118
NOTE
The indicator may turn on when you start the engine.
This means that the battery voltage momentarily dropped
when the engine was started. It does not indicate a mal-
function, provided that the display goes out immediately.

When a compact spare tire has been put on your vehicle,
the gripping ability of the tire will be lower, making it
more likely that the indicator will blink.
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.
-ASC operation indicator
The 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 OFF” switch.
CAUTION
!
When indicator blinks, ASC is operating, which
means that the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s
wheels are beginning to slip. If this happens, drive
slower with less accelerator input.

(if so equipped)
N00546200144
When the gearshift lever or the selector lever is in the “R” posi-
tion with the ignition switch or the operation mode is in ON,
the rear-view image will be displayed on the screen of the
Mitsubishi Multi Entertainment System.
When the gearshift lever or the selector lever is shifted out of
the “R” position, the rear-view image will go off.
Location of rear-view cameraThe rear-view camera (A) is in the liftgate, at the left side of
the liftgate handle.
WA R N I N G
!
Never rely solely on the rear-view camera to clear
the area behind your vehicle. Always check visually
behind and all around your vehicle for persons, ani-
mals, obstructions or other vehicles. Failure to do so
can result in vehicle damage, serious injury or
death.
The rear-view camera is an aid system for backing
up, but it is not a substitute for your visual confir-
mation.
The view on the screen is limited, and objects out-
side the view, such as under the bumper or around
either corner of the bumper end, cannot be seen on
the screen.
CAUTION
!
If the camera lens gets dirty, a clear image cannot be
obtained. As necessary, rinse the lens with clean
water and gently wipe with a clean, soft cloth.
To avoid damaging the camera;
• Do not rub the cover excessively or polish it by
using an abrasive compound.
• Do not disassemble the camera.
• Do not splash hot water directly on the lens.
• Do not spray the camera and its surroundings with
high-pressure water.
• Make sure that the liftgate is securely closed when
backing up.

result, images and distances shown on the screen are
not exact.
Actual distance may be different from distance indi-
cated by the lines on the screen, depending on the
loading condition of the vehicle and road surface
condition.
The reference lines for distance and vehicle width
are based on a level, flat road surface. In the follow-
ing cases, objects shown on the screen will appear to
be farther off than they actually are.

This displays the approximate driving range (how many more
miles or kilometers you can drive). When the driving range
falls below approximately 30 miles (50 km), “---” is displayed.NOTE
The driving range is determined based on the fuel con-
sumption data. This may vary depending on the driving
conditions and habits. Treat the distance displayed as just
a rough guideline.

When you refuel, the driving range display is updated.
However, if you only add a small amount of fuel, the cor-
rect value will not be displayed. Fill to a full tank when-
ever possible.

When your vehicle is stopped on an extremely steep hill,
the driving range value may, change. This is due to the
movement of fuel in the tank and does not indicate any
breakdown.

The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
(miles or km).
