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.
This helps maintain vehicle drivability and
steering wheel handling.
 When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden
braking), steering is slightly different
from normal driving conditions. Use the
steering wheel carefully.
 Always keep a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi-
cle is equipped with the anti-lock braking
system, leave a greater braking distance
when:
• Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
 Operation of anti-lock braking system is
not restricted situations where brakes are
applied suddenly. This system may also
prevent the wheels from locking when
you drive over manholes, steel roadwork
plates, road markings, or any uneven road
surface.
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 your vehicle and
a vehicle 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.
