PROTECT AND SERVE
The Mitsubishi Motors safety philosophy is to design its cars to help keep you out of trouble whatever the conditions and then, if anything should happen, offer you and your family the maximum possible protection. This is why Lancer comes with a complete suite of active safety systems, from its excellent dynamics and outstandingly strong disc brakes to Mitsubishi's Active Stability and Traction Control (M-ASTC) and ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD).
M-ASTC
ABS & EBD
In the event of a collision, you will be looked after by seven airbags, including one for the driver's knees, which significantly reduces the risk of a lower limb injury. Front seatbelts with pretensioners and force-limiters provide greater restraint yet transfer fewer impact forces to occupants. Further protection is provided by Lancer's structure built around Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) technology.

SOUND DESIGN The solid ergonomic design found elsewhere in Lancer's cabin extends to the GS3 model's audio system which is mounted high on the dashboard to help minimise distraction while driving, and at night its soft red illumination complements that of the instrument panel and air conditioning controls. The CD player will accept MP3 format discs and six carefully positioned speakers ensure your listening pleasure.
THE POWER THAT LIES WITHIN
An ultra-high-tech, touch-screen navigation system dominates the Lancer GS4 model's dashboard. Behind the 7" colour display is a 30GB hard drive which provides ultra-fast location search and route-finding capabilities. It also acts as a music server, storing up to two thousand songs for you to enjoy whenever you like, and even incorporates a CDDB (CD Database) to relay information about the CD being played to the screen. Further versatility is offered by an auxiliary socket which allows you to plug in an iPod®/MP3 player.
ETACS, YOUR PERSONALISED ASSISTANT Mitsubishi Motors' customizable Electronic Total Automobile Control System (ETACS) allows you to personalize the operation of a wide range of features for added safety, comfort and convenience. In the Lancer GS4 model, certain ETACS comfort functions can be customized via the touch-screen; your Mitsubishi Motors dealer can personalize such functions for the GS3.
KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
Makes it possible to lock and unlock the doors and boot lid, and to close the windows with the remote key.
HEADLAMP AUTO-OFF FUNCTION
After you have turned off the ignition and got out of the car, the headlamps are automatically switched off, preventing the battery from being drained.
INDICATOR WITH COMFORT MODE
When the indicator lever is tapped briefly, the indicator will flash three times and then stop allowing you to concentrate on manoeuvering and therefore making driving easier and safer.
POWER WINDOW TIMER
After taking the key from the ignition, the windows may still be opened and closed from inside for up to 30 seconds.
OPEN DOOR ALARM
If any door is still open while the car is moving, a buzzer will alert you.
SPEED SENSITIVE WIPERS
When the front wipers are set to intermittent, a speed sensor changes the wiper interval to suit the car's speed for better visibility.
For a complete list of ETACS functions, please consult your Mitsubishi Motors dealer or refer to the owner's manual.
