Mitsubishi XPANDER HEV 2023 Manual page 176

CAUTION
 Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in
normal circumstances.
 If you need to turn off the ASC to move out
of mud or sand, etc., be sure to immediately
turn on the ASC again after moving out. Do
not turn off the ASC unless it is necessary.
 When the ASC is turned off, depressing the
accelerator pedal excessively to keep the
tyres racing may damage parts such as the
transaxle, leading to an unexpected accident.
NOTE
 When moving out of mud, sand or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not
allow the engine speed to increase. In such
situations, temporarily turning off the ASC
will make it easier to move out your vehicle.
 Turning off the ASC turns off both the stabil-
ity control function and the traction control
function.
ASC operation indicator or
ASC OFF indicator
E00619302169
ASC operation indicator
-
The indicator will blink when the
ASC is operating.
ASC OFF indicator
-
This indicator will turn on when the
ASC is turned off.
CAUTION
 When indicator blinks, ASC is operating,
which means that the road is slippery or that
your vehicle's wheels are beginning to slip.
If this happens, drive slower with less accel-
erator input.
 If the temperature in the braking system con-
tinues to increase due to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the
indicator will blink.
To prevent the brake system from overheat-
ing, the brake control of the traction control
function will be temporarily suspended.
The Hybrid EV System control of the trac-
tion control function and normal brake oper-
ation will not be affected. Park your vehicle
in a safe place. When the temperature in the
braking system has come down, the
cator will be turned off and the traction con-
trol function will start operating again.
Active stability control (ASC)
NOTE
 The indicator may turn on when you start
the Hybrid EV System. This means that the
auxiliary battery voltage
dropped when the Hybrid EV System was
started. It does not indicate a malfunction,
provided that the indicator goes out immedi-
ately.
