Active stability control (ASC)

Warning displayIf there is a malfunction in the system, thewarning light will come on and the warningdisplay will appear on the information screenin the multi information display.Under normal conditions, the warning lightcome on when the ignition switch is turned tothe “ON” position or the operation mode isput in ON, and goes off after the engine hasstarted.

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 c
ontrol function and skid
control function.Anti-lock braking system

On slippery surfaces, the traction controlfunction 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.
CAUTIONIf the warning display appears while theengine is running, have
the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer ora 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 ASCcannot prevent the natural laws of physicsfrom acting on the vehicle. This system, likeany other system, has
limits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of thevehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv-ing can lead to accident
s. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This meanstaking into account the traffic, road and envi-ronmental conditions.Be sure to use the same specified type andsize of tire on all four
wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly.Do not install any aftermarket limited slipdifferential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASCmay stop functioning properly.
NOTE
An operation noise may be emitted from theengine compartment in the following situa-tions. The sound is associated with checkingthe operations of the ASC. At this time, youmay feel a shock from the brake pedal if youdepress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-tion.• When the ignition switc
h is set to the “ON”
• When the vehicle is driven for a while afterthe 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 warninglight is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

The skid control function is designed to helpthe driver maintain control of the vehicle onslippery roads or during rapid steeringmaneuvers. It works by
controlling the engine
output and the brake on each wheel.
N00559401307
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 3 secondsor 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.
N00559501249
CAUTIONWhen driving a vehicle on a snowy or icyroad, be sure to install snow tires and drivethe 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 switchshould be operated when your vehicle isstopped. Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving innormal circumstances.
NOTE
Using the ASC OFF swit
ch turns off both the
stability control function and the tractioncontrol function.When moving out of mud, sand or freshsnow, pressing the ac
celerator pedal may not
allow the engine speed to increase. In suchsituations, temporaril
y turning off ASC with
the ASC OFF switch will make it easier tomove out your vehicle.If you continue to press the ASC OFF switchafter the ASC is turned off, the “mistakenoperation protection func
tion” will activate
and the ASC will turn back on.

Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC) (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-107

N00518901374
If the set speed driving is deactivated by thecondition described in “To deactivate” onpage 5-106, you can re
sume the previously
set speed by push up the RES+ switch (C)while driving at a speed of about 25 mph (40km/h) or higher.The “SET” indicator appears on the informa-tion display in the meter
cluster. (For vehicles
equipped with the color liquid crystal displaymeter)Under either of the following conditions,however, using the sw
itch does not allow you
to resume the previously set speed. In thesesituations, repeat the
speed setting procedure:
The CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFFswitch is pressed.The operation mode is put in OFF.Indicator goes off.
N00576800048
ACC maintains a set speed with no need foryou to use the accelerator pedal. Using a sen-sor (A), the system also measures the relativespeed and distance between your vehicle anda vehicle in front, and maintains a set follow-ing distance between your vehicle and thevehicle in front by automatically deceleratingyour vehicle if it becomes too close to thevehicle in front.The cruising set speed can be set from 25mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180 km/h). Thedistance can be select
ed from three levels.
If the vehicle in front
decelerates, the ACC
will automatically apply limited braking tomaintain the distance, and if the front vehiclethen accelerates, the ACC will automaticallyaccelerate your vehicle up to the set speed. Ifyour vehicle is approaching too close to thefront vehicle, a buzzer
will sound and a warn-
ing is shown in the multi information display.When the ACC detects no vehicle ahead, theset speed will be maintained.Conventional cruise control mode without thedistance control can
also be selected.
Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.
To resume the set speed

(if so equipped)
WA R N I N GBefore using the ACC, read this entire sec-tion to understand the limitations of thissystem. Failure to follow instructionscould result in an accident.Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC isnot a collision avoidance system or anautomatic driving system. It is designed touse only limited braking and is never asubstitute for your safe and careful driv-ing. Always be read
y to apply the brakes
manually.

N00577700073
When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the FCM will automatically applymoderate braking to warn the driver to applythe brakes immediately.If the FCM judges that the collision is highlyunavoidable, it will automatically applyemergency braking to reduce the severity ofthe collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-lision.When the FCM applies
emergency braking, a
buzzer sounds and a warn
ing message is dis-
played in the information screen of the multi-information display.The FCM braking function operates when thefollowing ve
hicle speed:
Against a vehicle:
Approximately 3 mph
(5 km/h) to 50 mph (80 km/h)mph (5 km/h) to 40 mph (65 km/h)

es activated by the
FCM will automatically be released.Apply the brakes as
necessary to keep
your vehicle stationary.The FCM will not ac
tivate and will not
provide either warnin
