ESP MITSUBISHI PAJERO IV 2011 Owner's Manual

Braking
E00607001524
All the parts
of the brake system are critical to safe-
ty. We recommend you to have the vehicle
checked at regular intervals according to the serv-
ice booklet. CAUTION
l
Avoid driving
habits
that cause heavy
braking and never “ride” the brakes by
resting your foot on the brake pedal
while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.
Brake system
The service brake

is divided into two brake circuits
so that when one brake circuit fails, the other is
available to stop the vehicle. In this situation, even
if the brake pedal moves down to the very end of
its possible stroke, keep depressing the brake pedal
down harder than usual; stop driving as soon as pos-
sible and have the brake system repaired.
For details, refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page
3-09.
Power brakes
The power brakes use brake fluid pressurized by
the pump to power-assist the brake. If the brake sys-
tem fails during driving, the brake warning lamp
comes on and a buzzer sounds continuously. In this
case, the brake may not work properly.
If this buzzer should continue to sound, park your
vehicle in a safe place and have the system checked.
Refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 3-09. CAUTION
l
Bring the vehicle
to halt in a safe location
by applying the brakes gently. Applying
the brakes rapidly or driving at high
speed may make the vehicle unstable.
NOTE l Depressing
the brake

pedal repeatedly may
turn on the brake warning lamp, ABS warn-
ing lamp and brake warning buzzer. (The
ASTC indication lamp and Active Stability
Control function OFF indication lamp also
turn on.) It is normal if the lamp goes out
and the buzzer stops sounding after a few sec-
onds.
l In certain cases immediately after the engine
has been started or when the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly, a noise generated by op-
eration of brake devices may be heard com-
ing from the engine compartment, or the
brake pedal vibration may be felt. This type
of noise or vibration is normal and there is
no need for concern. In fact, it indicates that
the corresponding devices are operating nor-
mal. WARNING
l Do not
turn
off the engine while your ve-
hicle is in motion. If you turn off the en-
gine while driving, the power assistance
for the braking system will stop working
and your brakes will not work effectively. WARNING
l If the power
assist is lost or if either
brake hydraulic system stops working
properly, have your vehicle checked im-
mediately.
Warning lamp l The
brake warning

lamp illuminates to indi-
cate a fault in the braking system. Read
“Brake warning lamp” on page 3-09.
l On vehicles with the rear differential lock,
the active stability & traction control
(ASTC) and anti-lock brake system (ABS)
functions are suspended while the rear differ-
ential lock is activated. ASTC indication
lamp, Active Stability Control function OFF
indication lamp, ABS warning lamp and
brake warning lamp are illuminated while
these functions are suspended. It does not in-
dicate a problem. When the rear differential
lock is disengaged, these lamps go out and
function again.
Refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 3-09,
“ABS warning lamp” on page 4-40, “ASTC
indication lamp” on page 4-42, “Active sta-
bility control function OFF indication lamp”
on page 4-43.
When brakes are wet
Check the brake system while driving at a low
speed immediately after starting, especially when
the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake discs
and prevent normal braking after driving in heavy
rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is
washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by driv-
ing slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal. Starting and driving

Driving hints
E00618100036
When extricating the
vehicle from mud, sand or
fresh snow with the transfer shift lever in the “2H”,
“4H”, or “4HLc” position, you may find that opera-
tion of the ASTC prevents the engine speed from in-
creasing in response to depression of the accelera-
tor pedal. If this happens and the vehicle remains
stuck as a result, place the transfer shift lever in the
“4LLc” position or turn the Active Stability Con-
trol switch OFF. The vehicle will then be easier to
extricate. (Brake control of the active traction con-
trol function is still working to prevent wheel spins
when ASC OFF switch “OFF” or “4LLc” position
selected.)
NOTE
l If the vehicle speed increases to about
120 km/h (75 mph) with the Active Stability
Control function deactivated, the Active Sta-
bility Control function automatically starts op-
erating. To subsequently stop the Active Sta-
bility Control function, stop the vehicle and
press the ASC OFF switch again.
Active stability control function E00613900097
The Active Stability Control function is designed
to help maintain

the vehicle’s control in slippery
conditions, or during rapid steering manoeuvres. It
works by controlling the engine output and brake
on each wheel. NOTE
l The
Active Stability

Control function does
not operate when the transfer shift lever is in
the “4LLc” position.
When the Active Stability Control function
is operating with the transfer shift lever in
the “2H”, “4H” or “4HLc” position, moving
the shift lever to the “4LLc” position makes
the Active Stability Control function deacti-
vate automatically.
l On vehicles with rear differential lock, the Ac-
tive Stability Control function does not oper-
ate when the rear differential lock is activated.
Active stability control function indication lamp E00614000183 Active stability control function indica-
tion lamp
Active stability control function OFF in-
dication lamp
The indication lamps should illuminate when the ig-
nition switch is

turned to the “ON” position and
should go off after a few seconds. If the indication lamps stay on or do not illuminate
when the
ignition

switch is turned to the “ON” po-
sition, we recommend you to have your vehicle in-
spected.
indication lamp blinks when the Active Stability
Control function is operating. indication lamp illuminates when the Active Sta-
bility Control function
is deactivated by either of
the following operations:
l The ASC OFF switch is pressed to deacti-
vate the system.
l The transfer shift lever is placed in the
“4LLc” position. CAUTION
l
When indication lamp blinks, the Ac-
tive Stability Control

function is operat-
ing, which means that the road is slippery
or that your vehicle’s wheels are spinning
excessively. If this happens, drive slower
with less accelerator input.
l If a fault occurs in the device, the ABS
warning lamp or and indication
lamps illuminate as

warning. Park your
vehicle in a safe place and stop the en-
gine. Then, start the engine again and
check whether the ABS warning lamp or and indication lamps go out.
If the ABS

warning lamp or and in-
dication lamps remains
lit even after the
engine has been started, we recommend
you to have your vehicle checked. Starting and driving
