● Operation of ABS is not restricted to situations where
brakes are applied suddenly. This system may also operate
to prevent wheel lock when you are driving over man-
holes, steel road-work plates, or the vehicle is driven over
steps or level differences in the road, road markings, or
other surfaces which are difficult for the wheels to grip.
● When the ABS is activated, you may feel the brake pedal
pulsation and the vibrations of the vehicle body and steer-
ing wheel. You may also hear a characteristic noise. At
this time, you may feel as if the pedal attempts to resist
being depressed.
This is a normal result of the ABS operation, and does not
indicate a problem.
In this situation, to let the ABS work for you, just hold
the brake pedal down more firmly. Do not pump the
brake. This will result in reduced braking perform-
ance.
● When the engine starts and after starting to drive, you
might hear operation noise from the engine compartment
or feel a shock from the brake pedal. This is normal. The
ABS is performing a self-check.
● The ABS will operate after the vehicle has accelerated to a
speed in excess of approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It
stops operating when the vehicle decelerates to low speed
below approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
CAUTION
!
● 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 exces-
sive speed on bends or following another vehicle too
closely or aquaplaning. It should remain the driver's
task to observe safety precautions to judge speeds
and brake applications correctly in such conditions.
● Be sure to use tyres of the same type and size on 4
wheels.
If tyre types or sizes are mixed, ABS may not func-
tion normally.
● Never install a limited slip differential, which is not
MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine parts, as the ABS
may not function normally.
We recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
