The Active stability control (ASC) takes
overall control of the anti-lock braking sys-
tem, traction control function and skid control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s control
and traction. Please read this section in con-
junction with the page on the anti-lock brak-
ing system, traction control function and skid

WARNING
 Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is
moving. Stopping the engine would make
the steering wheel extremely hard to turn,
possibly resulting in an accident.
NOTE
 During repeated full-lock turning of the
steering wheel (for example, while you are
manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking
space), a protection function may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the power
steering system. This function will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering
wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering effort will return
to normal.
 If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlights on, the
headlights may become dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The headlights will return to
their original brightness after a short while.

CAUTION
 If the warning display appears while the
engine is running, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or
a repair facility of your choice as soon as
possible. It may become harder to turn the
steering wheel.
Active stability control
(ASC)
CAUTION
 Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle. This system, like
any other system, has limits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of the
vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv-
ing can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This means
taking into account the traffic, road and envi-
ronmental conditions.

Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tire on all four wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly.
 Do not install any aftermarket limited slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.
NOTE
 An operation noise may be emitted from the
engine compartment in the following situa-
tions. The sound is associated with checking
the operations of the ASC. At this time, you
may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you
depress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
