Handling special equipment
<Vehicles with hill start assist system>
When you depress the brake pedal for a short stop
on a slope, the hill start assist system automatically
maintains the brake fluid pressure thus generated
even after you release the brake pedal, holding the
vehicle stopped. You can easily restart the vehicle
because the brake pressure is automatically
released as soon as you start the vehicle again.

This lamp should normally come on when

turned to “ON” or if it remains on for longer
than a few seconds, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized MITSUBISHI
FUSO distributor or dealer.

WARNING
Be sure to apply the parking brake for a long
stop or when you must leave the vehicle. If
the hill start assist system is used for too
long a time, the brake pressure will drop,
possibly resulting in an accident. Remember
that the hill start assist system is intended to
help the driver to restart the vehicle easily on
a slope; it is not a substitute for the parking
brake.
