Mitsubishi ASX 2016 User Manual

WARNING
l
Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is
moving. Stopping the engine would make
the steering wheel extremely hard to turn,
possibly resulting in an accident.
NOTE
l
During repeated full-lock turning of the
steering wheel (for example, while you are
manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking
space), a protection function may be activa-
ted to prevent overheating of the power
steering system. This function will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering
wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering action will return
to normal.
l
If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlamps on, the
headlamps may become dim. This behaviour
is not abnormal. The headlamps will return
to their original brightness after a short
while.

Type 2
When there is a malfunction in the system,
the warning display will appear on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information dis-
play.
CAUTION
l
If the warning display appears while engine
is running, have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible. It may become
harder to turn the steering wheel.
Active stability control
(ASC)*
E00616700331
The Active Stability Control (ASC) takes
overall control of the anti-lock brake system,
traction control function and stability control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s con-
trol and traction. Please read this section in
conjunction with the page on the anti-lock
brake system, traction control function and
stability control function.

Traction control function ® p. 6-52
Stability control function ® p. 6-52
CAUTION
l
Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle.
This system, like any other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction
and control of the vehicle in all circumstan-
ces. Reckless driving may lead to accidents.
It is the driver’s responsibility to drive care-
fully. This means taking into account the
traffic, road and environmental conditions.
l
Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly.
