The ABS helps prevent the wheels from lock-
ing during braking, thus maintaining direc-
tional stability, ensuring controllability and
providing optimum braking force.
Driving hints
l Always maintain the same distance from
the vehicle in front of you as you would
for a vehicle not equipped with ABS.
Compared with vehicles not fitted with ABS, your vehicle may require a longer
stopping distance in the following cases: • Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving with tyre chains installed.
• Driving on roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has other differencesin surface height.
• Driving on bumpy roads or other poor
driving surfaces.
l In order to ensure that the ABS will op-
erate correctly in situations where tyre chains have been fitted, drive in the“4H”, “4HLc”, or “4LLc” position.
l Operation of ABS is not restricted to sit-
uations where brakes are applied sud- denly. This system may also operate to
prevent wheel lock when you are driving
over manholes, steel road-work plates, or the vehicle is driven over steps or lev-
el differences in the road, road markings,
or other surfaces which are difficult for the wheels to grip.
l When the ABS is activated, you may
feel the brake pedal pulsation and the vi- brations of the vehicle body and steering
wheel. You may also hear a characteris-
tic noise. At this time, you may feel as if
the pedal attempts to resist being de- pressed.
This is a normal result of the ABS oper- ation, and does not indicate a problem.
In this situation, to let the ABS work for you, just hold the brake pedal
down more firmly. Do not pump the brake. This will result in reduced
braking performance.
l When the engine starts and after starting
to drive, you might hear operation noise from the engine compartment or feel a shock from the brake pedal. This is nor-
mal. The ABS is performing self-check.
l The ABS will operate after the vehicle
has accelerated to a speed in excess ofapproximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops
operating when the vehicle decelerates
to a speed below about 5 km/h (3 mph).CAUTIONl Even the ABS cannot prevent the natural
laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. Itcannot for instance avoid accidents that may
result from excessive speed on bends or fol- lowing another vehicle too closely or aqua- planing. It should remain the driver’s task to
observe safety precautions to judge speeds and brake applications correctly in such con-
ditions.
l Be sure to use tyres of the same type and
size on 4 wheels.
If tyre types or sizes are mixed, ABS may not function normally.
l Never install a limited-slip differential,
which is not a MITSUBISHI MOTORS gen-
uine part, as the ABS may not function nor-
mally.
We recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.

ABS warning lamp
E00607200532
The ABS warning lamp should illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned “ON”, and should go off in a few seconds.
CAUTIONl If the warning lamp stays on or does not illu-
minate when you start the vehicle, it indi-
cates that the ABS is not functioning and
that only the standard brake system is in op-
eration. (In this condition the standard hy- draulic brake system will still function.) We
recommend you to have your vehicle inspec- ted as soon as possible.NOTEl 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
seconds.
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 dif- ferential 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
5-10 , “ASTC indication lamp” on page
6-45 , “Active stability control function OFF
indication lamp” on page 6-47.If the warning lamp illuminates
while driving
E00607300416
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates
l Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv-
ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see whether the lamp goes out after a few
minutes driving; if it then remains off during driving, there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it lights up again when the vehicle is
driven, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
l The ABS warning lamp can illuminate if
the battery voltage is insufficient when the engine is started. In this case, it doesnot indicate an ABS fault.
Charge the battery by allowing the en- gine to idle for a while.
If the battery has been charged but the
ABS warning lamp continues to illumi-
nate or illuminates intermittently, we recommend you to have the vehicle in-
spected.

If the ABS warning lamp and
brake warning lamp illuminate at the same time
l The ABS and brake force distribution
function will not work, so hard braking
could make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv- ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked.
Inspection following snowy
road operation
E00618300012
After driving on snowy roads, remove any snow and ice which may have become ad-
hered to the wheel areas.
When doing this, be careful not to damage the wheel speed sensors (A) and cables loca-ted at each wheel on vehicles equipped with an ABS.

Power steering system
E00607400390
The power steering system operates while the
engine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel.
The power steering system 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 ve-
hicle inspected at an authorized MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
WARNINGl 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 accident.CAUTIONl Do not leave the steering wheel turned all
the way in one direction. This can causedamage to the power steering system.Active stability & traction
control (ASTC) E00613800230
The active stability & traction control(ASTC) takes overall control of the anti-lockbrake system, Active Stability Control func-
tion and active traction control function to
maintain the vehicle’s stability and traction. Please read this section in conjunction withthe pages on the anti-lock brake system, Ac-
tive Stability Control function and active
traction control function.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 6-41
Active stability control function ® p. 6-46
Active traction control function ® p. 6-47
CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on the ASTC. Even when
the ASTC is operating, there are limits to how far it can ensure vehicle stability; reck-
less driving may lead to accidents. Always
drive carefully, taking account of the road conditions.

CAUTIONlBe sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, there
is a possibility that the ASTC will not work properly.NOTEl An operation noise may be emitted from the
engine compartment in the following situa-
tions. The sound is associated with checking the operations of the ASTC. At this time,
you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if
you depress it. These do not indicate a mal- function.
• When the ignition switch is set to the
“ON” position.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the engine is turned on.
l When the ASTC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin-ing sound from the engine compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating
normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASTC is not active.NOTEl On vehicles with the rear differential lock,
the ASTC and ABS functions are suspended
while the rear differential 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 sus- pended. It does not indicate a problem.
When the rear differential lock is disengag- ed, these lamps go out and function again.
Refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page
5-10 , “ABS warning lamp” on page 6-43,
“Active stability control function OFF indi- cation lamp” on page 6-47.ASTC indication lamp

The indication lamps should illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po- sition and should go off after a few seconds.
If the indication lamps stay on or do not illu-
minate when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, we recommend you to
have your vehicle inspected.

indication lamp illuminates when the Ac-
tive Stability Control function is deactivated by either of the following operations:
l The ASC OFF switch is pressed to deac-
tivate the system.
l The transfer shift lever is placed in the
“4LLc” position.CAUTIONl When indication lamp blinks, the Active
Stability Control function is operating,
which means that the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels are spinning exces- sively. If this happens, drive slower with lessaccelerator 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 engine. 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 indi-
cation lamps remains lit even after the en- gine has been started, we recommend you tohave your vehicle checked.
NOTEl Immediately after reconnection of the bat-
tery cable, the indication lamp will illu-
minate and the Active Stability Control
function will stop operating. If the vehicle is
driven and the
indication lamp goes off,
the Active Stability Control function will
again start operating.
If the indication lamp illuminates again or il-
luminates even though the battery has not been disconnected, an insufficient battery
voltage or other problems may be the reason.
We recommend you to have your vehicle in- spected.
Active traction control function
E00614100041
The active traction control function maintains
traction on slippery road surfaces by auto-
matically controlling the engine output and applying the brakes so the driving wheels are prevented from spinning.
The active traction control function automati-
cally turns ON when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position.

Tyre pressure monitoring sys-tem warning lamp
E00637200052
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position the tyre pressure monitoring system warning lamp normally illuminates
and goes off a few seconds later.
If one or more of the vehicle tyres is signifi- cantly under-inflated, the warning lamp will
remain illuminated while the ignition switch is in ON.
Refer to “If the warning lamp illuminates while driving” on page 6-43 and take the nec-essary measures.
CAUTIONl If the warning lamp does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position it means that the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is not working
properly. Have the system inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system may be preventing the monitoring of the tyre pressure. Avoid sudden braking,
sharp turning and high-speed driving.
l If a malfunction is detected in the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS), the warn-
ing lamp will blink for approximately 1 mi-
nute and then remain continuously illumina- ted.
The warning lamp will issue further warn-
ings each time the engine is restarted as long
as the malfunction exists.
Check to see whether the warning lamp goes
off after few minutes driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no problem.
However, if the warning lamp does not go off, or if it blinks again when the engine is
restarted, have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system may be preventing the monitoring of
the tyre pressure. For safety reasons, when the warning lamp appears while driving,
avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and high-speed driving.Each tyre, including the spare, should be
checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by thevehicle manufacturer on the tyre inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a different size than the size indicated on the
tyre inflation pressure label, you should de-
termine the proper tyre inflation pressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with the tyre pressure moni-
toring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tyre pressure telltale when one or more of
your tyres is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure tell-
tale illuminates, you should stop and check your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig- nificantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehi- cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) is not a substitute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is the driver’s re-sponsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) low tyre pressure telltale.

Obstacle detection areas
E00615600261
The detection areas of the corner and back
sensors are limited to those shown in the il- lustration. Because the back sensors are built
in the overhanging area of the vehicle (spare
wheel garnish), the sensors are unable to de- tect low or thin obstacles, or obstacles on the
bottom of the spare wheel garnish or the bot- tom of the centre of the rear bumper. Thus,
make sure to check the surroundings as you
operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Reversing sensor system detec- tion areas
Depending on whether the vehicle is equip-
ped with a towing bar, you can change the re-
versing sensor system between the standard
mode and the towing bar mode. The towing bar mode changes the system to exclude thearea in which the towing bar is mounted from
the detection areas.
Vehicles without a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately
50 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors.
Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately 50 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors. The non-detection areas (C) are within approximately 20 cm (D)
from the bumper.
NOTEl If the rear bumper or the spare wheel garnish
has been exposed to an impact, the corner orback sensors may fail and prevent the sys-
tem from functioning properly. We recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.
l The sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper. If the height of an object is lower than themounted position of the corner or back sen-
sors, the sensors may not continue detecting
it even if they detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detec-
tion areas, please refer to “Changing the de- tection areas” on page 6-60.
CAUTIONl The reversing sensor system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
• The sensors or surroundings are covered
with ice, snow, or mud.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from
other sources (the horns of other vehicles, motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pour-
ing rain, splashing water, tyre chains, etc.).
• The sensors are extremely hot or cold
(while the vehicle is parked for a long pe- riod of time under a blazing sun or in coldweather).

NOTElIf a problem is detected in the air condition-
ing compressor, the air conditioning opera- tion indication lamp (A) blinks. Stop the ve- hicle in a safe place, turn off the engine, then
restart the engine. If the air conditioning op- eration indication lamp does not blink, thereis no problem. If it does blink, we recom-
mend you to have it checked.
l Sometimes, for example after using a high-
pressure car wash, the condenser can get
wet, and the operation indication lamp (A) blinks temporarily. In this case there is noth-ing wrong. Stop the vehicle in a safe place,
turn off the engine, then restart the engine. Once the water evaporates, the blinking will
stop.OFF switch
