●
When the ABS is activated, you may feel the brake pedal
pulsation and the vibrations of the vehicle body and steer-
ing wheel. You may also hear a characteristic noise. At
this time, you may feel as if the pedal attempts to resist
being depressed.
This is a normal result of the ABS operation, and does not
indicate a problem.
If this situation occurs, depress the brake pedal more
firmly in order to operate the ABS. Do not pump the
brake. This will result in reduced braking perform-
ance.
●
You will hear the operation sound of the motor coming
from the engine compartment immediately following start
off after starting the engine. If the brake pedal is depressed
at that moment, a brake pedal pulsating is felt.
This pulsation is due to the self-diagnosis operation of the
ABS and does not indicate a malfunction.
●
The ABS becomes operative after the vehicle has acceler-
ated to a speed in excess of about 10 km/h. It stops operat-
ing when the vehicle decelerates to a speed below about 5
km/h.
ABS waning lamp / display
E00607200503
If there is a malfunction in the system, the ABS warning lamp
will come on and “SERVICE REQUIRED” will appear on the
information screen in the multi-information display.
Under normal conditions, the ABS warning lamp only comes
on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position and
goes off a few seconds later.
CAUTION
!
●
Even the ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle. It cannot for
instance avoid accidents that may result from exces-
sive speed on bends or following another vehicle too
closely or aquaplaning. It should remain the driver’s
task to observe safety precautions to judge speeds
and brake applications correctly in such conditions.
● Be sure to use tyres of the same type and size on 4
wheels.
If tyre types or sizes are mixed, ABS may not func-
tion normally.
● Never install a limited slip differential, which is not
MITSUBISHI Genuine parts, as the ABS may not
function normally.
We recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorised Service Point.
