Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
7-42 Starting and driving
7
The ABS helps prevent the wheels from lock-
ing during braking, thus maintaining direc-
tional stability, ensuring controllability and
providing optimum braking force.
 Always maintain the same distance from
the vehicle in front of you as you would
for a vehicle not equipped with ABS.
Compared with vehicles not fitted with
ABS, your vehicle may require a longer
stopping distance in the following cases:
• Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving with tyre chains installed.
• Driving on roads where the road surface
is pitted or has other differences in sur-
face height.
• Driving on bumpy roads or other poor
driving surfaces.
 Operation of ABS is not restricted to situ-
ations where brakes are applied suddenly.
This system may also operate to prevent
wheel lock when you are driving over
manholes, steel road-work plates, or the
vehicle is driven over steps or level differ-
ences in the road, road markings, or other
surfaces which are difficult for the wheels
to grip.
 When the ABS is activated, you may feel
the brake pedal pulsation and the vibra-
tions of the vehicle body and steering
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 opera-
tion, 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 brak-
ing performance.
 You will hear the operation sound of the
motor coming from the Plug-in Hybrid
EV System compartment immediately
following start off after starting the Plug-
in Hybrid EV System. 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 indi-
cate a malfunction.
 The ABS becomes operative after the
vehicle has accelerated 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.

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 excessive speed on bends or fol-
lowing another vehicle too closely or aqua-
planing. It should remain the driver’s task to
observe safety precautions to judge speeds
and brake applications correctly in such con-
ditions.
 Be sure to use tyres of the same type and size
on 4 wheels.
If tyre types or sizes are mixed, ABS may
not function normally.
 Never install a limited slip differential,
which is not MITSUBISHI MOTORS GEN-
UINE parts, as the ABS may not function
normally.
We recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorised Service
Point.
