If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys-
tem, the following indicator will turn on.
N00567300092
The brake assist system is a device assisting
drivers who cannot depress the brake pedal
firmly such as in emergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the
brakes will be applied with more force than
usual.
N00517900338
The anti-lock braking system helps prevent
the wheels from locking up when braking.
NOTE
The hill start assist is activated when all of
the following conditions are met.
• The engine is running.
(The hill start assist will not be activated
while the engine is starting or immediately
after the engine is started.)
• The selector lever is in any position other
than “P” or “N”.
• The vehicle is completely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed.
• The parking brake is released.
The hill start assist will not operate if the
accelerator pedal is depressed before the
brake pedal is released.
The hill start assist also operates when
reversing on an uphill slope.
When the hill start assist is activated, you
may feel the operating sound or vibration
from under the body.
This is a normal result of the hill start assist
operation, and does not indicate a problem.
Warning indicator
-
ASC indicator
CAUTION
If the warning is displayed, the hill start
assist will not operate. Start off carefully.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the
engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the
indicator goes out, in which case the hill start
assist is again working normally.
If they remain displayed or reappear fre-
quently, it is not necessary to stop the vehicle
immediately, but the vehicle should be
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice as soon as possible.
Brake assist system
CAUTION
The brake assist system is not a device
designed to exercise braking force greater
than its capacity. Make sure to always keep a
sufficient distance between vehicles in front
of you without relying too much on the brake
assist system.
NOTE
Once the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.
When the brake assist system is in use while
driving, you may feel as if the depressed
brake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in small
motions in conjunction with the operation
noise, or the vehicle body and the steering
wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does
not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.
When the anti-lock brake system warning
light is illuminated, the brake assist system is
not functioning.
