Brake Assist System; Emergency Stop Signal System - Mitsubishi ASX 2019 Owner's Manual

CAUTION
l If the warning is displayed, the hill start as-
sist will not operate. Start off carefully.
l Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the
warning display went out, in which case the
hill start assist is again working normally.
If the warning remains displayed or reap-
pears frequently, it is not necessary to stop
the vehicle immediately, but the vehicle
should be inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point as soon
as possible.

Brake assist system

The brake assist system is a device assisting
drivers who cannot depress the brake pedal
firmly when it is necessary to do so (such as
in emergency stop situations) and provides
greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the
brakes will be applied with more force than
usual.
CAUTION
l The brake assist system is not a device de-
signed to exercise braking force greater than
its capacity. Make sure to always keep a suf-
ficient distance between vehicles in front of
you without relying too much on the brake
assist system.
NOTE
l Once the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.
l The brake assist system may become opera-
tional when the brake pedal is fully de-
pressed even if it has not been depressed
suddenly. [Except for vehicles equipped with
Active Stability Control (ASC)]
l When the brake assist system is in use, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is
soft, the pedal moves in small motions in
conjunction with the sound of the ABS oper-
ation, or the vehicle body and the steering
wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does
not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
firmly depress the brake pedal.
l You may hear an operation noise when the
brake pedal is suddenly or fully depressed
while stationary. This does not indicate a
malfunction and the brake assist system is
operating normally.

Emergency stop signal
system*
This is a device that reduces the possibility of
rear end collisions by the rapid and automatic
blinking of the hazard warning lamps to alert
vehicles approaching from behind during
sudden braking. When the emergency stop
signal system operates, the hazard warning
indication lamp in the instrument cluster
blinks rapidly at the same time.
CAUTION
l If the ABS warning or ASC warning is dis-
played, the emergency stop signal system
may not operate.
Refer to "ABS warning lamp/display" on
page 6-37.
Refer to "ASC warning display" on page
