08 EVO Owners Manual

Hello,

Just bought an 08 GSR. The car did not have an owners manual. Does anyone know where I might find one. I tried EBay, no luck.

I have been reading a lot of the post on this site. I have learned a lot about the car in last week or so.

The dealer can't get a hold of one for you? Try PMing RussellM from MitsubishiParts.net; he might be able to sell you one.

ASC

Active Stability Control stabilizes vehicle attitude while maintaining optimum traction by regulating engine power and the braking force at each wheel. Taking a step beyond the previous generation Lancer Evolution, the fitting of a brake pressure sensor at each wheel allows more precise and positive control of braking force. ASC improves traction under acceleration by preventing the driving wheels from spinning on slippery surfaces. It also elevates vehicle stability by suppressing skidding in an emergency evasive maneuver or the result of other sudden steering inputs.

Thank you for the information. Without a manual I wasn't sure what it was for. I'll just leave it "on" and let it do its thing.

Take care,

Cool Hand Luke

This is the largest load of CRAP I've ever read.

There's a whole hell of a lot you can learn from the manual. There's little things I've learned about how the car functions in certain situations, and options you wouldn't even know existed, if you didn't read the manual.

It's great someone provided you with an explanation of what ASC is, but nobody provided you with an explanation of how to use that switch. Press once and it turns off ASC. Press and hold and it turns off ASC and AYC. (Active Yaw Control).

Definitely get a manual. They are a great read, and you'll know things non-manual reading Evo owners don't.

Still baffles me why anyone would not leave the manual in the car when selling it.
