Hill start assist
Features and controls 5-65
5
If you should lose the power assist for some
reason, the brakes will still work.
If the power brake unit or either of the two
brake hydraulic systems stops working prop-
erly, the rest of the brake system will still
work, but the vehicle will not slow down as
quickly.
You will know this has happened if you find
you need to press the brake down farther, or
harder when slowing down or stopping, or if
the brake warning light and the warning dis-
play in the multi-information display come
on. Have the brake system repaired at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice immediately.

The disc brakes have an alarm that makes a
metallic squeal when the brake pads have
worn down enough to need service.
If you hear this sound, have the brake pads
replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

The hill start assist makes it easy to start off
on a steep uphill slope by preventing the
vehicle from moving backwards. It keeps the
braking force for about 2 second when you
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.

1. Stop the vehicle completely using the
brake pedal.
WARNING
 Never coast downhill with the engine OFF.
Keep the engine running whenever your
vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the
engine while driving, the power brake
booster will stop working and your brakes
will not work as well.
 If the power assist is lost or if either brake
hydraulic system stops working properly,
take your vehicle to an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-
ity of your choice immediately.
Brake pad wear alarm
WARNING
 Driving with worn brake pads will make it
harder to stop, and can cause an accident.
Hill start assist
CAUTION
 Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to
prevent backwards movement of the vehicle.
Under certain circumstances, even when hill
start assist is activated, the vehicle may
move backwards if the brake pedal is not suf-
ficiently depressed, if the vehicle is heavily
loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip-
pery.

The hill start assist is not designed to keep
the vehicle stopped in place on uphill slopes
for more than 2 seconds.
 When facing uphill, do not rely on using the
hill start assist to maintain a stopped position
as an alternative to depressing the brake
pedal.
Doing so could cause an accident.

Do not perform the following operation
while the hill start assist is operating.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the
F.A.S.T.-key]
Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or
“ACC” position.
[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
Put the operation mode in OFF or ACC. The
hill start assist could stop operating, which
could result in an accident.
