The anti-lock braking system helps prevent
the wheels from locking up when braking.
This helps you keep control of your vehicle
and its direction.
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 turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position while the hill
start assist is operating. The hill start assist
could stop operating, which could result in
an accident.
To operate
NOTE
 The hill start assist is activated when all of
the following conditions are met.
• The engine is running.
(The hill start assist will not be activated
while the engine is starting or immediately
after the engine is started.)
• The gearshift lever is in any position other
than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
• The vehicle is completely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed.
• The parking brake is released.
 The hill start assist will not operate if the
accelerator pedal is depressed before the
brake pedal is released.
 The hill start assist also operates when
reversing on an uphill slope.

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
engine. Restart the engine 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 an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice as soon as possible.
