A limited-slip differential is applied for front
wheel differential. The features of this lim-
ited-slip differential are described below:
Just as with a conventional differential, the
wheel on one side is allowed to turn at a dif-
ferent speed from the wheel on the other side
when the vehicle is cornering. The difference
between the limited-slip differential and a
conventional differential is that if the wheel
on one side of the vehicle loses traction, a
greater amount of torque is applied to the
wheel on the other side to improve traction.
 If the ASC OFF switch is continuously
pressed after the ASC has been turned OFF
or the ASC and the braking control of AYC
have been turned off, an erroneous operation
prevention function operates and the ASC is
automatically turned ON.
ASC operation display or ASC
OFF display
-
ASC operation display/ASC indicator
The display/indicator will blink when
the ASC is operating.
-
ASC OFF display
The display is displayed when the
ASC has been deactivated with the
“ASC OFF” switch.
CAUTION
 When display/indicator blinks, ASC is
operating, which means that the road is slip-
pery or that your vehicle’s wheels are begin-
ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower.
NOTE
NOTE
 The display may come on when you start
the engine. This means that the battery volt-
age momentarily dropped when the engine
was started. It does not indicate a malfunc-
tion, provided that the display goes out
immediately.
 When a compact spare tire has been put on
your vehicle, the gripping ability of the tire
will be lower, making it more likely that the
display/indicator will blink.

CAUTION
 The system may be malfunctioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the
engine. Restart the engine again and check
whether the display/indicator goes out. If
they go out, there is no abnormal condition.
If they do not go out or appear frequently, it
is not necessary to stop the vehicle immedi-
ately, but you should have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice as soon as possible.
