Hill Start Control (HSC) This technology makes it easier to start off up steep city street by preventing the vehicle from rolling backwards. It maintains the braking force for two seconds giving you time to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator.
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) works hand-in-hand with ASX’s ABS computer to assess load and distribute braking force between the front and rear wheel. As such, when you have load in the rear, it helps you stop in a shorter distance than with standard brakes.
Active traction Control (ATC) ATC helps maintain traction on slippery surfaces. This intelligent system automatically control the engine output and braking to prevent driving wheels form spinning, When sensing loss of traction in an independent wheel, ATC applies braking force to that wheel and sends extra power and torque to other wheels that have traction to keep you moving and in control.
ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) ASX is equipped with ABS, which allows the driver to maintain steering control of the vehicle, letting the driver manoeuvre around objects under heavy braking conditions.
SRS Airbags ASX has 7 supplementary Restraint System (SRS) Airbags – Side airbags for thorax protection, Curtain airbags that drop down from the celling and protect the occupants form side collision, Driver & Front passenger for head on collisions and Driver’s knee airbags to protect the legs and stop the driver form sliding forward. This comprehensive system is located to provide the ultimate in protection for all occupants in the event of an accident.
Active Stability Control (ASC) ASC maintains stability and control when cornering by automatically recognising under-steer and over-steer. It applies brakes to the appropriate wheels to keep you online through corners.
RISE Safety At the heart of any integrated safety system is outstanding design. The Mitsubishi Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) design combines an energy absorbing front section with a strong, rigid occupant cell to provide outstanding family protection in the event of an accident. The RISE body is coupled with a rigid ladder frame, side impact bars, and collision absorbing joints.
All Wheel Control (AWC) ASX 4WD models come with AWC. The advantage of AWC is you can switch instantly (at speed up to 100km/h) between ‘2WD’ if you want grater fuel efficiency and ‘4WD’ if you need increased traction on slippery or loose roads. There’s also a ‘lock’ which provides positive drive in both front and rear wheels for when the road becomes unpredictable.
Reversing Camera The MMCS reversing camera supplements the driver’s rear field of view by automatically appearing on screen when the reverse gear is engaged. Combined with rear parking sensors that alert you when objects get a little close, parking your ASX into tight spots is easy.
Reverse parking sensors The reversing sensors on ASX will warn you if you’re getting too close to an object behind you, and will also take the very last centimetre of guesswork out of parking or backing into a tight spot. |
