Mitsubishi L200 (2018 year). Manual — part 12

CAUTION

l

When

indication lamp blinks, Active Sta-

bility Control function or active traction con-
trol function 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 accelerator input.

l

If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys-
tem while driving, the

indication lamp

will illuminate.
In these cases, follow these procedures:

•

If the temperature in the braking system
continues to increase due to continuous
brake control on a slippery road surface,
the

indication lamp will blink, and op-

eration of the active traction control func-
tion will be suspended to protect the brake
system. (The engine control of the active
traction control function and normal brake
operation will not be affected.) Park your
vehicle in a safe place. When the tempera-
ture in the braking system has come
down, the

indication lamp will go off

and the Active Stability Control function
and active traction control function will
start operating again.

CAUTION

•

If the

indication lamp does not go out

even though the above procedure is fol-
lowed, there could be a problem in the
system.
Stop the engine and start the engine again
and check whether the

indication lamp

goes out. If the indication lamp goes out,
there is no abnormal condition.
If the

indication lamp illuminates even

after your vehicle is driven a short dis-
tance after re-starting the engine, we rec-
ommend you to have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.

l

If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or on-
ly the rear wheels raised off the ground, the
ASTC may operate, resulting in an accident.
When towing the vehicle with the front
wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position or the operation
mode in ACC or OFF. When towing the ve-
hicle with the rear wheels raised, keep the
ignition switch in the “ACC” position or the
operation mode in ACC.
Refer to “Towing” on page 8-23.

Trailer Stability Assist
(TSA)

E00639500033

The trailer stability assist system helps safely
running while towing a trailer by controlling
the braking force of each wheel and engine
power in order to stabilize the motion when
detecting the continuous sway of the vehicle
caused by a trailer.
When the trailer stability assist system oper-
ates the brakes, the brake lamp turns on.
About the towing of the trailer, refer to page
6-84.

CAUTION

l

Do not over-rely on TSA system.
Due to the slippery road surface, heavy side
wind, inappropriate weight and positioning
of luggage, and/or driving at high speed,
TSA system may fail to secure the stability.
Always drive appropriately in accordance
with the condition of traffic, road surface
condition, weather, and the weight and posi-
tioning of luggage.

l

The trailer stability assist system does not
operate in case as follows:

•

When sudden braking and braking while
driving downhill cause an abrupt motion
of the vehicle which makes the vehicle
and the trailer form a dogleg shape.

•

When a sideslip occurs by sudden steer-
ing.

NOTE

l

When TSA system operates, the vehicle
body may vibrate and the operating sounds
from the engine compartment may be heard.
These motions indicate normal operation of
the system, not abnormal operation.

l

TSA system operates when the vehicle speed
is about 55 km/h (34 mph) or higher.

l

When TSA system operates, the ASC opera-
tion indication lamp blinks on and off.

l

When ASC does not work, TSA system does
not operate.

Cruise control*

E00609102395

Cruise control is an automatic speed control
system that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-
vated at approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or
more.

CAUTION

l

When you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.

l

On vehicles with M/T, do not move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position
while driving at a set speed without depress-
ing the clutch pedal. The engine will run too
fast and might be damaged.

l

Do not use cruise control when driving con-
ditions will not allow you to stay at the same
speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads
that are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet,
slippery, on a steep downhill slope.

NOTE

l

Cruise control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.

l

Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.

l

Your speed may increase to more than the
set speed on a steep downhill. You must use
the brake to control your speed. As a result,
the set speed driving is deactivated.

Speed Limiter

E00633201110

The Speed Limiter is a driver assist function
to prevent from exceeding the speed set by
driver while engine power control.

CAUTION

l

Because the system does not use service
brake (hydraulic brake), the vehicle speed
may exceed the set speed on the downhill.
If a driver wants to keep the vehicle speed in
such a situation, he/she must put on a service
brake or downshift.

NOTE

l

If the clutch pedal (M/T) is depressed, the
Speed Limiter does not activate.

If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed,
control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limit-
er’s symbol will blink in the combination me-
ter.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed af-
ter indicated control state “LIMIT” and the
Speed Limiter’s symbol, beep alert will
sound a certain period of time.
While running without blinked control state
“LIMIT” and the Speed Limiter’s symbol, if
you decrease the set speed and vehicle speed
is more than set speed, control state “LIMIT”
and the Speed Limiter’s symbol blinking
starts but beep alert is delayed.
In this case, when vehicle speed keeps ex-
ceeding set speed for about 30 seconds after
control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limit-
er’s symbol are blinked, beep alert will sound
a certain period of time.
If the vehicle speeds decreases less than set
speeds, control state “LIMIT” and the Speed
Limiter’s symbol stop blinking. When beep
alert is sounding, the beep alert also goes off.
