CAUTION
!
●
If either of the situations described
below occurs, there is a risk of reduced
brake effectiveness. Stop the vehicle in
a safe place and we recommend you to
have it checked.
• The brake warning lamp does not
illuminate when the parking brake is
applied or does not turn off when the
parking brake is released.
• The brake warning lamp remains
illuminated during driving.
●
If the brake warning lamp comes on at
the same time as the ABS warning
lamp, the brake force distribution
function may be not working so hard
braking could make the vehicle unsta-
ble. Avoid hard braking and high-
speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place and we recommend you consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
●
The vehicle should be brought to a halt
in the following manner when brake
performance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than
usual. Even if the brake pedal moves
down to the very end of its possible
stroke, keep it pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine
braking to reduce your speed and
slowly pull the parking brake lever to
park your vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal to operate
the stop lamp (brake lamp) to alert
the vehicles behind you.
