Brake pad wear alarm
N00550700124
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes a metallic squeal
when the brake pads have worn down enough to need service.
If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
Hill start assist
(if so equipped)
N00562600016
The hill start assist makes it easy to start off on a steep uphill
slope by preventing the vehicle from moving backwards. It
keeps the braking force for about 2 second when you move
your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
WA R N I N G
!
Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to
stop, and can cause an accident.
CAUTION
!
Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to prevent
backwards movement of the vehicle. Under certain
circumstances, even when hill start assist is acti-
vated, the vehicle may move backwards if the brake
pedal is not sufficiently depressed, if the vehicle is
heavily loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip-
pery.
The hill start assist is not designed to keep the vehi-
cle stopped in place on uphill slopes for more than 2
seconds.
When facing uphill, do not rely on using the hill
start assist to maintain a stopped position as an
alternative to depressing the brake pedal.
Doing so could cause an accident.
Do not turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” or
“ACC” position while the hill start assist is operat-
ing. The hill start assist could stop operating, which
could result in an accident.
