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

NOTE
During repeated full-lock turning of the steering wheel (for example, while you aremanoeuvring the vehicle into a parkingspace), a protection f
unction may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This fu
nction 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 steering 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 brightness after a short while.

CAUTION If the warning display appears while the engine is running, have
the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice as soon as
possible. It may become harder to turn thesteering wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
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 driv- ing can lead to accident
s. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This means taking into account the traffic, 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 af
termarket limited slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop functioning properly.NOTE
 An operation noise may be emitted from the engine compartment in the following situa-tions. The sound is associated with checkingthe 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 malfunc-tion. • When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is turned on.

N00559200021
On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the drive wheels from spin- ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle tostart 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.
N00559300019
The skid control function is designed to helpthe driver maintain 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.
N00559401264
The ASC is automatically activated when theignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion. You can deactivate
the system by press-
ing down the “ASC OFF” switch for 3seconds or longer. When the ASC is deactivated, the indica- tor will turn on. To reactivate the ASC, momentarily press the “ASC OFF” switch; the indicator is turned off.
N00559501223
 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 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
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.  When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not allow the engine speed to increase. In suchsituations, 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 “mis-taken operation
protection function” will
activate and
the ASC will turn back on.

If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys- tem, the following display/indicator will turn on. Warning display
N00546301070
-
ASC OFF indicator This indicator will turn on when the ASC is turned off with the “ASCOFF” switch.
CAUTION When display/indicator blinks, ASC is operating, which means th
at the road is slip-
pery or that your vehi
cle’s wheels are begin-
ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower. If the temperature in the braking system con- tinues to increase due
to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the indicator will blink. To prevent the brake system from overheating, the brake control of the traction control
function will be tem-
porarily suspended. Th
e engine control of
the traction control
function and normal
brake operation will not be affected. Park your vehicle in a safe place. When thetemperature in the braking system has come down, the indicator will be turned off and the traction control function will start operat- ing again.
NOTE
 The indicator may come on when you start the engine. This means that the battery voltage momentarily dropped when theengine was started. It
does not indicate a
malfunction, provided th
at the display goes
out immediately.  When a spare tire has been put on your vehi- cle, the gripping ability of the tire will be lower, making it more likely that the dis- play/indicator will blink.

When the ACC no longer detects a vehicle in front, the buzzer will sound, the vehicle sym-bol in the display will disappear and your
vehicle will slowly accelerate to the set speed.
N00576900036
While the ACC is activated, if your vehicle is approaching too closely to the vehicle in front, the ACC gives a warning by sounding abuzzer and displaying
a message. Apply the
brakes to maintain the appropriate distance to the vehicle in front.
NOTE
 If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehi
cle has been stopped
by the ACC, a warni
ng buzzer will sound,
the above warning will be shown in the multi information display to alert the driver, and the ACC control will be canceled.  When depressing the brake pedal while the automatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to
apply greater braking
force.  During the automatic
braking, operation
sounds may be heard. This is normal.WA R N I N G Never leave the vehicle while it is being stopped by the ACC.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set speed in the following situations. Applythe brake, if necessary, to slow down.• When your vehicle no longer follows thevehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit or when your vehicle or
the vehicle in front
changes its lane.
• When driving on a curve. When the vehicle in
front has changed its
course or lane, if a stationary vehicleappears in front you

judges that there is the ri
sk of a collision, the
system will give audibl
e and visual warnings.
When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle straight-ahe
ad is imminent, the
system will automati
cally apply moderate
braking to warn you to apply the brakes immediately. When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle straight-ahead is highly unavoid- able, the system will apply emergency brak- ing to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the collision. Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.
N00577400025
If the system judges that there is a risk ofyour vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front, this function warns you
of the potential haz-
ard with visual and audible alarms.When this function is triggered, a buzzer sounds and, at the sa
me time, a “BRAKE”
message appears on the
information screen of
the multi-information display. The FCM will also prepare to provide quick brake response and greater brake force whenyou apply the brakes.
N00577700031
When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle straight-ahe
ad is imminent, the
FCM will automatically apply moderate brak- ing to warn the driver to apply the brakesimmediately. If the FCM judges that
the collision is highly
unavoidable, it will
automatically apply
emergency braking to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col- lision.When the FCM applies emergency braking, a buzzer sounds and a wa
rning message is dis-
WA R N I N GBefore using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitations of this system. Failure to follow instruc-tions could result
in an accident.
The FCM is designed
to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or reduce the crashspeed in such collisions. It is not a substi-tute for your safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, the system may not operate or may not detect cor-rectly a vehicle in fr
ont. When your vehi-
cle is approaching a
vehicle too closely,
take all necessary ac
tions to avoid a colli-
sion, such as braking
and steering, regard-
less of whether the FCM is activated or not. Never rely on the FCM to prevent acollision.
