If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys-
tem, the following display/indicator will turn
on.
Warning display type 1
Warning display type 2
-
ASC OFF display/ASC OFF indicator
This display/incicator will turn on
when the ASC is turned off with the
“ASC OFF” switch.
NOTE
The combination of items shown on the dis-
play varies depending on the vehicle model.
CAUTION
When display/indicator blinks, ASC is
operating, which means that the road is slip-
pery or that your vehicle’s wheels are begin-
ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower.
If the temperature in the braking system con-
tinues to increase due to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the
display/indicator will blink. To prevent the
brake system from overheating, the brake
control of the traction control function will
be temporarily suspended. The engine con-
trol of the traction control function and nor-
mal brake operation will not be affected.
Park your vehicle in a safe place. When the
temperature in the braking system has come
down, the display/indicator will be
turned off and the traction control function
will start operating again.
NOTE
The display/indicator may come 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
malfunction, provided that the display goes
out immediately.
When a spare tire has been put on your vehi-
cle, the gripping ability of the tire will be
lower, making it more likely that the dis-
play/indicator will blink.

NOTE
The combination of items shown on the dis-
play varies depending on the vehicle model.
CAUTION
The system may be malfunctioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the
engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the dis-
play/indicator goes out. If they go out, there
is no abnormal condition. If they do not go
out or if they turn on frequently, it is not nec-
essary to stop the vehicle immediately, but
you should have your vehicle inspected by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice as soon as pos-
sible.
