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.

The power steering system operates while the
engine is running. It helps reduce the effort
needed to turn the steering wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is
lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-
son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-
cle, but you will notice it takes much more
effort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi-
cle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.

Cruise control is an automatic speed control
system that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-
vated at speeds from about 25 mph
(40 km/h). Cruise control does not work at
speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
WARNING
Driving with worn brake pads will make it
harder to stop, and can cause an accident.
NOTE
When the brakes are applied, a faint noise
may be heard, but this is a characteristic of
high-performance brakes; it does not indicate
a problem.
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.
The brake assist system may become opera-
tional when the brake pedal is fully
depressed even if it has not been depressed
suddenly.
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.
You may hear an operation noise when the
brake pedal is suddenly or fully depressed
while stationary. This does not indicate a
malfunction and the brake assist system is
operating normally.
Power steering system
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.
CAUTION
Do not leave the steering wheel turned all the
way in one direction. This can cause damage
to the power steering system.
