Hill Start Assist - Mitsubishi MOTORS MIRAGE G4 2022 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.

Hill start assist

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
brakes applied for approximately 2 seconds
when you move your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
CAUTION
 Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to
N00550700124
prevent backwards movement of the vehicle.
Under certain circumstances, even when hill
start assist is activated, the vehicle may
move backwards if the brake pedal is not suf-
ficiently 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 vehicle 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
