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.

Environmental conditions can have an effect
on braking. During sudden braking when
there is snow, ice, oil, water etc. on the road
surface, a skid may occur. In this situation,
steering control and braking effectiveness is
reduced and the stopping distance is
increased. The vehicle may also go into an
uncontrolled spin.
Warning display
CAUTION
 If the warning is displayed, the hill start
assist will not operate. Start off carefully.
 Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
Restart the Plug-in Hybrid EV System and
check whether the display/indicator goes out,
in which case the hill start assist is again
working normally.
If they remain displayed or reappear fre-
quently, it is not necessary to stop the vehicle
immediately, but the vehicle should be
inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorised Service Point as soon as possible.
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 your vehicle and
a vehicle 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.
 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 depressed suddenly while sta-
tionary. This does not indicate a malfunction
and the brake assist system is operating nor-
mally.
 When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp or only active stability control warning
lamp illuminate, the brake assist system in
not functioning.
