Features and controls 5-49
5
If there is a malfunction in the system, the
warning light will come on.
Under normal conditions, the warning lamp
comes on when the ignition switch is turned
to the “ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON, and goes off after the engine has
started.

The Active stability control (ASC) takes
overall control of the anti-lock braking sys-
tem, traction control function and skid control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s control
and traction. Please read this section in con-
junction with the page on the anti-lock brak-
ing system, traction control function and skid
control function.
Anti-lock braking system P.5-46
Traction control function P.5-50
Skid control function P.5 -50
WARNING
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.
NOTE
During repeated full-lock turning of the
steering wheel (for example, while you are
manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking
space), a protection function may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the power
steering system. This function will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering
wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering effort will return
to normal.
If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlights on, the
headlights may become dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The headlights will return to
their original brightness after a short while.

CAUTION
If the warning light appears while the engine
is running, have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice as soon as pos-
sible. It may become harder to turn the steer-
ing wheel.

CAUTION
Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle. This system, like
any other system, has limits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of the
vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv-
ing can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This means
taking into account the traffic, road and envi-
ronmental conditions.
Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tire on all four wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly.
