After driving on snow or icy roads, remove any snow and ice which may have be leftaround the wheels. On vehicles that have an anti-lock braking syst
em, be careful not to
damage the wheel spee
d sensors (A) or the
cables located at each wheel.

The power steering system operates while the engine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel.The power steering sy
stem has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-son, you will still be able 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 Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.

Electric power steering sys- tem (EPS)
WA R N I N G Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would make the 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 aremanoeuvring the vehicle into a parkingspace), a protection f
unction 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 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.

Active stability control (ASC) 5-94 Features and controls
5
If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning light will come on and the warningdisplay will appear on the information screen in the multi information display. Under normal conditions, the warning lightcome on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes off after the engine hasstarted.
N00559100147
The Active stability
control (ASC) takes
overall 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

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
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 aftermarket 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.
 When the ASC is acti
vated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicl
e 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.

Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM) (if so equipped) 5-112 Features and controls
5
N00577400025
If the system judges that there is a risk of your 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 buzzersounds and, at the sa
me time, a “BRAKE”
message appears on the information screen of the multi-information display. The FCM will also pr
epare to provide quick
brake response and greater brake force whenyou apply the brakes.
N00577700057
When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle straight-ahead is imminent, the FCM will automatically apply moderate brak-ing to warn the driver to apply the brakes immediately. If the FCM judges that the collision is highlyunavoidable, 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, abuzzer sounds and a warn
ing message is dis-
played in the information screen of the multi- information display.
WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident. The FCM is desi
gned to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or reduce the crash speed 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 actions 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.
Forward collision warning function

NOTE
 If the FCM detects that the driver is making steering and/or accelera
tion inputs to try and
avoid a collision, the forward collision warn- ings may stop.
FCM braking function

WA R N I N G If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking function will not operate. Refer to “Active stability control” on page 5-94.

 If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has beenstopped by the FCM, a warning buzzerwill sound and the brakes activated by the FCM will automatically be released. Apply the brakes as
necessary to keep
your vehicle stationary.NOTE
 When depressing the brake pedal while auto- matic braking is applie
d, the brake pedal will
feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to apply
greater braking force.
 During the automatic braking, operating sounds may be heard. This is normal. WA R N I N G The FCM will not activate and will not provide either warnin
g or braking in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:• When the selector lever is in the “P”(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE), or the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.• When your vehicle speed is extremelylow, less than approximately 2 mph (2km/h).• When an object other than a vehicle,such as a pedestri
an, is in front.
• When the FCM has detected a problem in the system.WA R N I N G
• When a vehicle sudden
ly cuts in front of
your vehicle.• When the vehicle in fr
ont is moving at a
speed much lower than your vehicle’s speed.
 Braking function will not work in the fol- lowing situations.• Your vehicle is driving at approximately19 mph (30 km/h) or faster while thevehicle in front is
stationary or moving
extremely slow.•ASC is OFF. The forward collision warning function and/or the FCM brakin
g function may not
activate in certain situations. Some of these include:• When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.• When a vehicle ahead is moving at lowspeed.• When a vehicle ahead is not completelyin your path.• When a vehicle ahead
is towing a trailer.
• When a motorcycle or a bicycle is in front.• When a vehicle ahead is a truck loadedwith freight that protrudes rearward from the cargo bed.• When the height of a vehicle ahead isextremely low or its road clearance isextremely high.WA R N I N G
• When driving on a r
oad with alternating
up and down steep slopes.• When driving on a curve.• When driving on a bumpy or rough road.• When driving in a tunnel.• When the system recognizes driver’s steering, accelerati
ng, braking or gear
shifting actions as
evasive actions to
avoid collision.• When the rear of your vehicle is weigheddown with the weight of passengers and luggage• For up to two minute
s after starting driv-
ing.• In adverse weather conditions, such asrain, snow or fog.• When the surface of th
e sensor is covered
with dirt, snow and ice, etc.• When a vehicle ahea
d or an oncoming
vehicle is splashing wa
ter, snow or dirt.
When the system recognizes driver’s steering or accelerating
actions as evasive
actions to avoid collision, FCM controland alarm functions
may be canceled.
In certain situations,
though there is little
or no risk of a collision, the FCM may activate. Examples include: • When overtaking a vehicle.• When driving on a curve.WA R N I N G

NOTE
 In addition, the warni
ng display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display.  When inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, do not apply excessive force to the valve stem to
avoid breakage.
 After inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, always reinstall the valve cap on thevalve stem. Without the valve cap, di
rt or moisture could
get into the valve, resulting in damage to thetire inflation pressure sensor.  Do not use metal valve caps, which may cause a metal reaction,
resulting in corrosion
and damage of the tire
inflation pressure sen-
sors.
 Once adjustments have
been made, the warn-
ing light will go off after a few minutes ofdriving.WA R N I N G If the warning light
/ display illuminates
while you are driving, avoid hard braking, sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds.Driving with an under-inflated tire adversely affects vehi
cle performance and
can result in an accident.CAUTION If a tire has a puncture, replace that tire with the spare tire. Driving on a punctured tirecould lead to an accident. The warning light / di
splay may not illumi-
nate immediately in the
event of a tire blow-
out or rapid leak.NOTE
NOTE
 To avoid the risk of damage to the tire infla- tion pressure sensors, have any puncturedtire repaired by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer. If the tire repair is not done by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer, it is not covered by your warranty.  Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray on any tire.Such a spray could dama
ge the tire inflation
pressure sensors. Have any puncture repa
ired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
