Hill Start Assist - Mitsubishi 2010 RVR Owner's Manual

Brake pad wear alarm
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes a metallic squeal
when the brake pads have worn down enough to need service.
If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
WARNING
!
Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to
stop, and can cause an accident.

The hill start assist makes it easy to start off on a steep uphill
slope by preventing the vehicle from moving backwards. It
keeps the braking force for about 2 second when you move
your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
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 acti-
vated, the vehicle may move backwards if the brake
pedal is not sufficiently 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 vehi-
cle 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 perform the following operation while the
hill start assist is operating.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" or "ACC"
position.
[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
Put the operation mode in OFF or ACC. The hill
start assist could stop operating, which could result
in an accident.
