Traction control function
N00559200076
On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the
drive wheels from spinning excessive, thus helping the vehicle
to start moving from a stopped condition. It also provides suffi-
cient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle
turns while pressing the acceleration pedal.Skid control function
N00559300051
The skid control function is designed to help the driver main-
tain 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.NOTEThe skid control function operates at speeds of about 9
mph (15 km/h) or higher.

NOTEThe display/indicator may turn on when you start the
engine. This means that the battery voltage momentarily
dropped when the engine was started. It does not indicate
a malfunction, provided that the display goes out immedi-
ately.
When a compact spare tire has been put on your vehicle,
the gripping ability of the tire will be lower, making it
more likely that the display/indicator will blink.
ASC warning display
N00546600076
If an abnormal condition occurs in the system, the following
display/indicator will turn on.
Warning display type 1
Warning display type 2NOTEThe combination of items shown on the display varies
depending on the vehicle model.
CAUTION
!When display/indicator blinks, ASC is operating,
which means that the road is slippery or that your
vehicle’s wheels are beginning to slip. If this hap-
pens, drive slower with less accelerator input.If the temperature in the braking system continues
to increase due to continuous brake control on a
slippery road surface, the display/indicator will
blink. To prevent the brake system from overheat-
ing, the brake control of the traction control func-
tion will be temporarily suspended.
The engine control of the traction control function
and normal brake operation will not be affected.
Park your vehicle in a safe place. When the temper-
ature in the braking system has come down, the
display/indicator will be turned off and the traction
control function will start operating again.

NOTEThe tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for
regularly checking tire inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tire inflation pressures as described in
“Tires” on page 7-23.
Each of the grommets and washers where the tire inflation
pressure sensors are mounted should be replaced with new
ones when the tire is replaced.
For details, contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
The tire pressure monitoring system warning
light / display
N00532700281
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the
operation mode is put in ON, the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem warning light normally illuminates and goes off a few sec-
onds later.
If one or more of the vehicle tires (except for the spare tire) is
significantly under-inflated, the warning light will remain illu-
minated while the ignition switch or the operation mode is in
ON.
Refer to “If the warning light / display illuminates while driv-
ing” on page 3-121 and take the necessary measures.NOTEIn addition, the warning display is displayed on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information display.

CAUTION
!If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
does not illuminate when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode
is put in ON, it means that the tire pressure monitor-
ing system is not working properly. Have the system
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.
If a malfunction is detected in the tire pressure mon-
itoring system, the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light will blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. 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 no prob-
lem.
However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it
blinks again when the engine is restarted, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. For safety reasons, when the warning light
appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp
turning and high-speed driving.

If the warning light/display illuminates while
driving
N00532800471
1. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illu-
minates, avoiding hard braking, sharp steering maneuvers
and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tires to
the proper inflation pressure as soon as possible. Adjust
the spare tire at the same time. Refer to “Tires” on page 7-
23.NOTEIn addition, the warning display is displayed on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information display.
When inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, do not
apply excessive force to the valve stem to avoid breakage.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, always
reinstall the valve cap on the valve stem.
Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could get into the
valve, resulting in damage to the tire 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 sensors.
Once adjustments have been made, the warning light will
go off after a few minutes of driving.2. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
remains illuminated after you have been driving for about
20 minutes after you adjust the tire inflation pressure, one
or more of the tires may have a puncture. Inspect the tire
and if it has a puncture, have it repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possible.
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
vehicle 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 tire could lead to
an accident.The warning light/display may not illuminate imme-
diately in the event of a tire blowout or rapid leak.

NOTETo avoid the risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensors, have any punctured tire repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors 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 damage the tire inflation pressure sen-
sors.
Have any puncture repaired by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in
the following circumstances:
A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is
near the vehicle.
Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the
wheels.
The tire inflation pressure sensor’s battery is dead.
Wheels other than Mitsubishi genuine wheels are being
used.
Wheels that are not fitted with tire inflation pressure sen-
sors are being used.
Wheels whose ID codes are not memorized by the vehicle
are used.
Compact spare tire is fitted on a road wheel.
A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is
installed.
NOTETire inflation pressures vary with the ambient tempera-
ture. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambi-
ent temperature, the tire inflation pressures may be under-
inflated (causing the warning light/display come on) when
the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the warning
light/display comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with
new ones
N00532900153
If new wheels with new tire inflation pressure sensors are
installed, their ID codes must be programmed into the tire pres-
sure monitoring system. Have tire and wheel replacement per-
formed by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to avoid the
risk of damaging the tire inflation pressure sensors. If the
wheel replacement is not done by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer, it is not covered by your warranty.
CAUTION
!The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent the
proper fit of the tire inflation pressure sensors,
resulting air leakage or damage of the sensors.
