TCL switch
E00611900048
The traction control function automatically goes
on, when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position. To deactivate the traction control func-
tion, press the TCL switch. To reactivate the trac-
tion control function, press the TCL switch again.
MITSUBISHI MOTORS recommends that the trac-
tion control function normally be kept on.
Stability control function
E00612000088
The stability control function is designed to help
maintain the vehicle’s control in slippery condi-
tions, or during rapid steering manoeuvres. It
works by controlling the engine output and brake
on each wheel.
NOTE
l
The stability control function operates at
speeds of about 30 km/h (19 mph) or higher.
ASC indication lamp, TCL OFF indi-
cation lamp
E00612100135
The traction control function and stability control
function share the same indication lamp.
The indication lamps should illuminate when the ig-
nition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and
should go off after a few seconds. Always make
sure that the lamp goes out before beginning to drive.
If one or both indication lamps stay on or do not il-
luminate when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

ing.

tion control function is off.
CAUTION
l
When the
indication lamp blinks, ASC
is operating, which means that the road is
slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels are
slipping excessively. If this happens, drive
slower with less accelerator input.
l
If a malfunction occurs in the device, the
and
indication lamps will continu-
ously illuminate. Park your vehicle in a
safe place and stop the engine. Then,
start the engine again and check whether
the
and
indication lamps go out.
If the
and
indication lamps re-
main on even after your vehicle is driven
a short distance after starting the engine,
and we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
