The power steering system operates while the engine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel. The power steering system has mechanicalsteering capability in ca
se the power assist is
lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea- son, you will still be ab
le to steer your vehi-
cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi- cle inspected at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning light will come on. Under normal conditions
, the warning lamp
comes on when the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes off after the engine has started.

WA R N I N G Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would makethe steering wheel extremely hard to turn,possibly resulting
in an ac
cident.
NOTE
During repeated full-lock turning of the steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicl
e into a parking
space), a protection
function may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This f
unction will make the
steering wheel graduall
y harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system hascooled down, the steeri
ng effort will return
to normal.  If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi- cle is stationary with
the headlights on, the
headlights may become
dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The he
adlights will return to
their original brightne
ss after a short while.

N00559100176
The Active stability
control (ASC) takes
overall control of the
anti-lock braking sys-
tem, traction control function and skid controlfunction to help maintain the vehicle’s control and traction. Please read
this section in con-
junction with the page on the anti-lock brak-ing system, traction control function and skid control function. Anti-lock braking system

On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the drive wheels from spin-
ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle to start moving from a stopp
ed condition.
It also
provides sufficient driv
ing force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while press- ing the acceleration pedal.
N00559300051
The skid control function is designed to helpthe 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.
N00559400254
The ASC is automatically activated when theignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON. You can
Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physicsfrom acting on the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has
limits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of thevehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibillty to drive carefully, This meanstaking into account the tr
affic, 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 ASCmay stop functioning properly.NOTE
 An operating sound or vibration may be emitted from under the body in the followingsituations. The sound or
vibration is associ-
ated with checking th
e operations of the
ASC. At this time, you may feel a shockfrom under the body and the brake pedal if you depress it. These do
not indicate a mal-
function. • When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is putin ON. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is turned on.
 When the ASC is acti
vated, 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 operatingnormally. It does not i
ndicate a malfunction.
 When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

N00520500804
This indicator is a part of the onboard diag- nostic (OBD) system which monitors the emissions, engine cont
rol system or continu-
ously variable transmission (CVT) controlsystem. If a problem is detected in one of these systems, this indicator illuminates or flashes. When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or
the operation mode is
put in ON, this indicator normally comes onand goes off after the engine has started. This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not properly tightened. If this indicator comes on and stays on after refuel-ing, stop the engine and check that the cap is properly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwise until you hear clicking sounds.)If this indicator does not go off after several seconds or lights up while driving, have the system checked as soon as possible at anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
CAUTION If the brake warning light and the Anti-lock braking system warning
light are illuminated
at the same time, the braking force distribu-tion function will not
operate, the vehicle
may be destab
ilized during sudden braking
under the following conditions.• When the brake warning light does not goout even when the parking brake isreleased.• When the brake warning light stays onwhile driving.If the above occurs, avoid sudden brakingand high-speed driving.
Park the vehicle in a
safe place, and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice as soon as possible. The vehicle should be brought to a halt in the following manner when
brake performance
is deteriorated.• Confirm that the vehicle slows down whenyou press down on the brake pedal harder than usual. In some cases, the brake pedalmay go all the way to the floor.• Should the brakes fail, use engine brakingto reduce your speed and slowly apply the parking brake. Depress the brake peda
l to illuminate the
stop lights and to alert the vehicles behind you.
Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
CAUTION Driving for a long time with the engine mal- function indicator on
may cause more dam-
age to the emission control system. Thiscould also affect fuel economy and drivabil- ity. If this indicator does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion or the operation mode
is put in ON, have
the system checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice. If the engine malfuncti
on indicator comes on
while the engine is running, avoid driving athigh speeds. During vehicle operation
with the indicator
on, the vehicle may not
accelerate when you
depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle is stat
ionary with the indi-
cator on, you must depress the brake pedalmore firmly than usual since the engine idling speed is higher than usual and a vehi- cle with a CVT has a stronger tendency tocreep forward.

using wipers and washers
CAUTION If the washer is used in cold weather, washer fluid sprayed onto the
glass might freeze,
blocking your view. Heat the glass with thedefroster before using the washer.
NOTE
 Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. This could scratch the glass and wear thewiper blades prematurely.  Before using the wipe
rs in cold weather,
check to be sure that the wiper blades are notfrozen to the windshield or rear window. Using the wipers while the blades are frozen could cause the wiper motor to burn out.  If the moving wipers
become blocked part-
way through a sweep by ice or other depositson the glass, the wipers may temporarily stop operating to prevent the motor from over- heating. In this case,
park the vehicle in a
safe place, turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position or put
the operation mode in
OFF, and then remove the ice or other depos-its. Because the wipers will
start operating again
after the wiper motor cools down, check thatthe wipers operate
before using them.
 Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec- onds at a time. Do not operate the washer when the washer fluid reservoir is empty or the pump may fail.  During cold weather,
add a recommended
washer solution that will not freeze in thewasher fluid reservoir.
Otherwise the washer
may not work or may be damaged.  Replace the wiper blades when they are worn. Use the proper size replacement blades. For further information, please con-tact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the following:  Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated andwearing their seat
belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that
all the doors and the
liftgate are locked.
 Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while keeping good visibility,and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls. Check the instrument panel indicators and multi-information display for any possible prob- lem.  Similarly, the front
passenger seat should
also be moved as fa
r back as possible.
 Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selectin
g the defroster mode,
and set the blower switch on high. You should be able to feel the air blowing against thewindshield. Refer to “Defrosti
ng or defogging (wind-
shield, door windows)” on page 7-6, 7-10,7-17. Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails, glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or
sidewall cracks. Check
the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires (including spare tire) for proper pressure.
WA R N I N G If a floor mat is the
wrong size or is not
properly installed, it can interfere with theoperation of the pedals. Interference withthe pedals can cause unintended accelera- tion and/or increase
d stopping distances
resulting in a cras

It is very importa
nt to know how much
weight your vehicle can carry. This weight iscalled the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of
all occupants, cargo,
non-factory-installed options, if any, beingtowed. The tire and load
ing information plac-
ard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle will show how
much weight it may
properly carry. It is important to fami
liarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:
 Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire th
at is determined by
distributing to each ax
le its share of the
maximum loaded vehicle weight and dividing by two. Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is
determined by dis-
tributing to each axle its share of the curbweight, accessory
weight, and normal
occupant weight and dividing by two.  Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of - (a) Curb weight;(b) Accessory weight; (c) Vehicle capacity weight; and (d) Production options weight. Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard equipment including the maximum capacity of
fuel, oil, and cool-
ant.  Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those standard items whichmay be replaced) of automatic transmis- sion, power steering
, power brakes, power
windows, power seats,
radio, and heater,
to the extent that these items are available as factory- installe
d equipment (whether
installed or not). Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the vehicle’s designated seatingcapacity.
