Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
7-30 Starting and driving
7
 When the ABS is activated, you may feel
the brake pedal pulsation and the vibra-
tions of the vehicle body and steering
wheel. You may also hear a characteristic
noise. At this time, you may feel as if the
pedal attempts to resist being depressed.
This is a normal result of the ABS opera-
tion, and does not indicate a problem.
If this situation occurs, depress the
brake pedal more firmly in order to
operate the ABS. Do not pump the
brake. This will result in reduced brak-
ing performance.
 You wil l h ear the operation soun d of the
motor coming from the Plug-in Hybrid
EV System compartment immediately
following start off after starting the Plug-
in Hybrid EV System. If the brake pedal
is depressed at that moment, a brake pedal
pulsating is felt.
This pulsation is due to the self-diagnosis
operation of the ABS and does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
 The ABS becomes operative after the
vehicle has accelerated to a speed in
excess of about 10 km/h. It stops operat-
ing when the vehicle decelerates to a
speed below about 5 km/h.

Warning lamp
Warning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, the
ABS warning lamp will come on and the
warning display will appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi information display.
Under normal conditions, the ABS warning
lamp only comes on when the operation
mode is put in ON and goes off a few seconds
later.
CAUTION
 Even the ABS cannot prevent the natural
laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. It
cannot 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.
 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.
 Never install a limited slip differential,
which is not MITSUBISHI MOTORS GEN-
UINE parts, as the ABS may not function
normally.
We recommend you to consult a MITSUBI-
SHI MOTORS Authorised Service Point.

Authorised Service Point.
