Traction control function
E00611800050
On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the
drive wheels from excessive spinning, thus helping the vehicle
to start moving from a stop. It also provides sufficient driving
force and steering performance as the vehicle turns at acceler-
ated speeds.NOTE●When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing
the accelerator pedal may not allow the engine speed to
increase.
If this happens and the vehicle remains stuck as a result,
turn the TCL switch OFF. The vehicle will then be easier
to extricate.
●When climbing or beginning to climb a steep slope, turn
the TCL switch OFF if the traction control function
reduces the engine speed excessively.
TCL switch
E00611900048
The traction control function automatically goes on, when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. To deactivate
the traction control function, press the TCL switch. To reacti-
vate the traction control function, press the TCL switch again.
MITSUBISHI MOTORS recommends to normally keep the
traction control function on.
CAUTION
!●When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy road, be
sure to install snow tyres and drive the vehicle at
moderate speeds.●When a tyre such as a compact spare tyre, which is
different in size from the standard tyre, has been
installed, make sure that the traction control func-
tion is turned off.

4 Auto-speed (cruise) control
*
E00609100391
Auto-speed control is an automatic speed control system. It lets
you keep the same driving speed, auto-speed control can be
used at about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more. It is especially useful
for highway driving. Auto-speed control does not work at
speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph).
NOTE●Auto-speed control may not be able to keep your speed on
uphills or downhills.
●Your speed may drop on a steep uphill. You must use the
accelerator pedal if you want to stay at your set speed.
●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. (Refer to “To deactivate” on page 4-50.)
A- Main switch
B- Auto-speed control lever
CAUTION
!●For safety reasons, deactivate the cruise control sys-
tem using the main switch (A) when you are not
using the auto-speed control system.
(Refer to “To deactivate” on page 4-50.)
●Auto-speed control is not recommended when driv-
ing conditions 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 downhill.●For vehicles with M/T, if you shift to “N” (Neutral)
position in auto-speed control mode without press-
ing the clutch first, the engine will run too fast and
might be damaged.
CAUTION
