N00559200076
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 alsoprovides sufficient driving 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
deactivate the system by pressing down the “ASC OFF” switch for 3 seconds or longer. When the ASC is deacti
vated, the indica-
tor will turn on. To reactivate the ASC, momentarily press the
“ASC OFF” switch;
the indicator is turned off.
 Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differential (LSD) on
your vehicle. The ASC
may 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 the operations of the ASC. At this time,
you may feel a shock
from 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 put
in 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 th
e system is operating
normally. It does not i
ndicate a malfunction.
 When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.
Traction control function
CAUTION
CAUTION When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy road, be sure to install snow tires and drive the vehicle at moderate speeds.
Skid control function
NOTE
 The skid control func
tion operates at speeds
of about 9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.
ASC OFF switch
CAUTION For safety reasons, the “ASC OFF” switch should be operated when your vehicle isstopped.  Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in normal circumstances.NOTE
 Using the “ASC OFF” switch turns off both the stability control f
unction and the traction
control function.

Put the operation mode in OFF or ACC.  Indicator is turned OFF.
N00530201612
The tire pressure moni
toring system uses tire
inflation pressure sensors (A) on the wheelsto monitor the tire inflation pressures. The system only indicates wh
en a tire is signifi-
cantly under-inflated.
N00532701363
When the ignition switch is turned to the“ON” position or the ope
ration mode is put in
ON, the tire pressure monitoring system warning light normally
illuminates and goes
off a few seconds later. If one or more of the vehicle tires (except for the spare tire) is signi
ficantly under-inflated,
the warning light will remain illuminated while the ignition switch or the operationmode is in ON. Refer to “If the warning light illuminates while driving” on page 5-60 and take the nec-essary measures.
Tire pressure monitoring system
(if so equipped)
WA R N I N G The compact spare whee
l does not have a
tire inflation pressure sensor.When the spare tire is used, the tire pres-sure monitoring system will not work properly. See an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer as soon as possible to replace or repair the original tire.NOTE
 The tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for regularly
checking tire infla-
tion pressures. Be sure to check the tire inflation pressures as described in “Tires” on page 9-12.  The tire inflation pressure sensor (A) is installed in the illustrated location.Replace rubber air valve (B) with a new one when the tire is replaced. For details, please

Tire pressure monitoring system (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-59

Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and inflated tothe inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressu
re label. (If your vehi-
cle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire infla-
tion pressure label, y
ou should determine the
proper tire inflation pres
sure for those tires.)
As an added safety feat
ure, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell- tale illuminates, you
should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig- nificantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead
to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, a
nd may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’sresponsibility to mainta
in correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inf
lation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMSlow tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indica
tor to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combinedwith the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one min-ute and then remain c
ontinuously illuminated.
This sequence will c
ontinue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunctionexists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not
be able to detect or
signal low tire pr
essure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions ma
y occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from function-ing properly. Always
check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after
replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure thatthe replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function prop- erly.
CAUTION If the tire pressure monitoring system warn- ing light does not illumi
nate when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position orthe operation mode is put in ON, it means that the tire pressure monitoring system is not working properly. Have the systeminspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. In such situations, a malfunctioning of thesystem may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pressure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and high-speed driving. If a malfunction is detected in the tire pres- sure monitoring system, the tire pressuremonitoring system warning light will blink for approximately 1 mi
nute and then remain
continuously illuminate
d. 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 noproblem. However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it blinks again when the engine isrestarted, have the
vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of thesystem may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pressure. For safety reasons, when the warning light appears while driving,avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and high-speed driving.

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.
