Anti-lock brake system (ABS)*
CAUTION
l
Even the ABS cannot prevent the natural
laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. It
cannot for instance avoid accidents that may
result from excessive speed on bends or fol-
lowing another vehicle too closely or aqua-
planing. It should remain the driver's task to
observe safety precautions to judge speeds
and brake applications correctly in such con-
6 ditions.
l Be sure to use tyres of the same type and
size on 4 wheels.
If tyre types or sizes are mixed, ABS may
not function normally.
l Never install a limited-slip differential,
which is not a MITSUBISHI MOTORS gen-
uine part, as the ABS may not function nor-
mally.
We recommend you
