Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback, Owner'S Manual, Page: 211 / 433

CAUTION
l
When display/indicator blinks, ASC is
operating, which means that the road is
slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels are
beginning to slip. If this happens, drive
slower with less accelerator input.
l If the temperature in the braking system
continues to increase due to continuous
brake control on a slippery road surface,
the display/indicator will blink. To pre-
vent the brake system from overheating,
the brake control of the traction control
function will be temporarily suspended.
The engine control of the traction control
function and normal brake operation will
not be affected. Park your vehicle in a
safe place. When the temperature in the
braking system has come down, the dis-
play/indicator will be turned off and the
traction control function will start operat-
ing again.
NOTE
l
The display/indicator may turn on when
you start the engine. This means that the bat-
tery voltage momentarily dropped when the
engine was started. It does not indicate a mal-
function, provided that the display goes out
immediately.
l When a compact spare tyre has been put on
your vehicle, the gripping ability of the tyre
will be lower, making it more likely that the
display/indicator will blink.

NOTE
l The combination of items shown on the dis-
play varies depending on the vehicle model.
CAUTION
l The system may be malfunctioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine. Restart the engine and check
whether the display/indicator goes out. If
they go out, there is no abnormal condi-
tion. If they do not go out or appear fre-
quently, it is not necessary to stop the ve-
hicle immediately, but we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.
Towing
E00624400047
CAUTION
l When towing the vehicle with only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels
raised off the ground, do not place the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position. Plac-
ing the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion could cause the ASC to operate, re-
sulting in an accident.
Note that the correct towing method de-
pends on the transmission type and the ve-
hicle’s drive configuration. For details, re-
fer to “Towing” on page 6-13.
