Auto-speed (cruise) control*
EI10AAOa
Auto-speed (cruise) control is an auto-
matic speed control system. It lets you keep
the same driving speed; auto-speed con-
trol can be used at 40 km/h (25 mph) or
more. It is especially useful for high way
driving. Auto-speed control does not work
at speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph).
A - Main switch
B - Auto-speed control lever
CAUTION
(1) For safety reasons, the main
switch (A) should be set to the
“OFF”position when you are not
using the auto-speed control
system.
(2) Auto-speed control is not rec-
ommended when driving condi-
tions 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,
or slippery, or on a steep down-
hill.
(3) For vehicles with manual trans-
mission, if you shift to“N”
(NEUTRAL) in auto-speed con-
trol mode without pressing the
clutch first, the engine will run
too fast and might be dam-
aged.NOTE
(1) Auto-speed control may not be able to
keep your speed on uphills or down-
hills.
(2) Your speed may drop on a steep uphill.
You must use the accelerator if you
want to stay at your set speed.
(3) Your speed may increase to more than
the set speed on a steep downhill. You
must use the brake to control your
speed. If your speed increases too
much, turn off the auto-speed control.

EM10A-Ia
To check the clutch fluid
The clutch fluid in the master cylinder
should be checked when performing other
underhood services. In addition, the sys-
tem should be checked for leakage at the
same time.
Check to make certain that the clutch fluid
level is always between the“MAX”and
“MIN”level markings on the fluid reser-
voir and refill the fluid, if necessary.
A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the
clutch system which should be inspected
by your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer and
repaired immediately.
M10A007A
RHDTo replace the fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used.
The reservoir cap must be fully tightened
to avoid contamination from foreign mat-
ter or moisture.
DO NOT ALLOW PETROLEUM- BASED
FLUID TO CONTACT, MIX WITH, OR
OTHERWISE CONTAMINATE THE
BRAKE FLUID. SEAL DAMAGE WILL
RESULT.
WARNING
Take care in handling brake fluid as
it is harmful to the eyes and may also
cause damage to painted surfaces.
When the fluid is spilled, wipe it up
immediately.
