on.

-
ASC OFF indicator
This indicator will turn on when the
ASC is turned off with the “ASC
OFF” switch.
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
indicator will blink. To prevent the brake
system from overheating, the brake control
of the traction control function will be tem-
porarily 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 indicator will be turned off and
the traction control function will start operat-
ing again.
NOTE
 The indicator may come on when you
start the engine. This means that the battery
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.

CAUTION
 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 condition. If they do not
go out or if they turn on frequently, it is not
necessary 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
possible.
Towing
CAUTION
 If the 2WD vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or
only the rear wheels raised off the ground,
the ASC may operate, resulting in an acci-
dent. When towing the 2WD vehicle with the
front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch
in the “OFF”, “LOCK” or “ACC” position or
the operation mode in ACC or OFF. When
towing the vehicle with the rear wheels
raised, keep the ignition switch in the “ACC”
position or the operation mode in ACC.
Refer to “Towing” on page 8-14.
