Cruise control
*
E00609100519
Cruise control is an automatic
speed control system that keeps
a set speed. It can be activated at about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.NOTE●
Cruise control may not be able to keep your speed on uphills or downhills.
●
Your speed may decrease on
a steep uphill. You may use
the accelerator pedal if you want
to stay at your set speed.
●
Your speed may increase to mo
re than the set speed on a
steep downhill. You have to use the brake to control yourspeed. As a result, the set speed driving is deactivated.
CAUTION
!●
If the vehicle is towed with
the ignition switch in the
“ON” position and only the front wheels or only therear wheels raised off the
ground, the active traction
control function may operate
, resulting in an acci-
dent. When towing the vehi
cle with the front wheels
raised, keep the ignition
switch in the “LOCK” or
“ACC” position. When towi
ng the vehicle with the
rear wheels raised, keep th
e ignition switch in the
“ACC” position. Refer to “Towing” on page 6-29.
CAUTION
!●
When you do not wish to drive at a set speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
●
Do not use cruise control
when driving 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, slipp
ery, on a steep downhill
slope.
●
On vehicles with M/T, do not move the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position while driving at a set speed without depressing
the clutch pedal. The
engine will run too fast and might be damaged.

To activate
E00609300553
1. With the ignition switch in the “ON” position, press the
“ON OFF” switch (A) to turn
on the cruise control. The
“CRUISE” indication lamp in the meter cluster will come on.
NOTE●
If the cruise control is on when the ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK” or “ACC” position, cruise control will be on automatically the next time you start the engine. The “CRUISE” indication lamp will also be on.
●
If the battery voltage is insufficient, the memory data for the cruise control may be erased. As a result, the “CRUISE” indication lamp may not comeon when you restart the engine. If this happens, press the “O
N OFF” switch once again to
turn on the cruise control.

When the active stability & tr
action control (ASTC) starts
operating. Refer to “Active stability
& traction control (ASTC)” on
page 4-63.
Also, the set speed driving ma
y be deactivated as follows:
●
When the engine speed rises and approaches the tachome- ter’s red zone (the red-coloured part of the tachometer dial).
To resume the set speed
E00609800460
If the set speed driving is deactivated by the condition described in “To deactivate” on page 4-76, you can resume the previously set speed by pressi
ng the “ACC RES” switch (C)
while driving at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or higher. Under either of the following conditions, however, using the switch does not allow you to resume the previously set speed. In these situations, repeat
the speed setting procedure:
●
The “ON OFF” switch is pressed.
●
The ignition switch is turned OFF.
●
“CRUISE” indication lamp is turned OFF.
WARNING
!●
On vehicles with A/T, alth
ough the set speed driving
will be deactivated when shifting to the “N” (NEU-TRAL) position, never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving. You would have no engine
braking and could cause
a serious accident.CAUTION
!●
When the set speed driving is deactivated automati- cally in any situation other than those listed above, there may be a system malfunction.Press the “ON OFF” switch
to turn off the cruise
control and have it in
spected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

For information on how to chan
ge the detection areas, please
refer to “Changing the detection areas” on page 4-83.
NOTE●
The buzzer may sound lower
than the normal warning
sound when the corner sensor
system is receiving ultra-
sonic noise from other sources, but this is not a malfunc- tion. The buzzer will stop sounding and the system willreturn to normal operation after the noise is no longer received.
CAUTION
!●
The reversing sensor system may not operate prop- erly under the following conditions:• The sensors or surroundings are covered with ice,snow, or mud.• The sensors are frozen.• The system receives ultrasonic noise from othersources (the horns of ot
her vehicles, motorcycle
engines, brakes, radios,
pouring rain, splashing
water, tyre chains, etc.).• The sensors are extremely hot or cold (while the vehicle is parked for a lo
ng period of time under a
blazing sun or in cold weather).• The vehicle tilts significantly.• The vehicle is driven on a rough road (with abumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy surface).• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.• The sensors or surroundings have been wiped byhand, or stickers or accessories have been attached.
●
The reversing sensor system may not properly detect the following:• Objects that are thin, such as wire nets or ropes.• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as snow.• Objects that are shaped
with a sharp angle.
• Objects with a smooth su
rface, such as glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerbstones.

The warning buzzer sounds when the system detects an obsta- cle during operation.NOTE●
After pushing the “SONAR” switch, reversing sensor sys- tem operation differs accordi
ng to the detection area set-
ting. • Setting when towing bar is not equipped When the gearshift lever is
moved to the “R” (Reverse)
position (with M/T) or the selector lever is moved to the “R” (REVERSE) position (with A/T), the reversing sen- sor system will operate even
if corner sensor operation
was stopped by pushing the “SONAR” switch. • Setting when towing bar is equipped When reversing sensor system operation was stopped bypushing the “SONAR” switch, the reversing sensor sys- tem will not operate until the engine has been stopped even if the gearshift lever is moved to the “R” (Reverse)position (with M/T) or the selector lever is moved to the “R” (REVERSE) position (with A/T). To resume reversing sensor system operation, push the“SONAR” switch or stop and restart the engine, and then move the gearshift lever is moved to the “R” (Reverse) position (with M/T) or the selector lever to the“R” (REVERSE) position (with A/T).
Warning for obstaclesIf there is an obstacle behind
the vehicle, a warning buzzer
sounds to indicate the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle. Corner sensor

Maximum towable weight with brake and maxi- mum trailer-nose weightNever exceed the maximum towabl
e weight with brake and the
maximum trailer-nose weight as
listed in the specifications.
(Refer to “Vehicle weight” on page 9-7.)If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than 1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight by 10 % of the gross combina- tion weight for every increase
of 1,000 m above sea-level, as
the engine output is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric pressure.
Towing bar mounting specificationsSee the following table for fixing points (A) for the towing bar.

Operating hints●
Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with a M/T only) and do not increase the engine speed more than necessarywhen starting.
●
Be sure that the driving speed does not exceed the 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer operation.It is also recommended that you
obey the local regulations
in case driving speed with a tr
ailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
●
To prevent shocks from the
overrun brake, depress the
brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
●
To make full use of engine braking, change to a lower gear before descending a slope.
Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with an A/TThe 2nd gear (in “Sports mode”)
is recommended on slopes or
at low speed. Use the 1st gear (i
n “Sports mode”) in mountain-
ous areas in order to make better use of engine braking and to assist the brake system. However,
be sure that the speed does
not exceed the maximum speed
limit for the selected gear.
