3 Power steering system
N00518000206
The power steering system has mechanical steering capability
in case the power assist is lost. If the hydraulic pressure is
interrupted for some reason (such as engine stalling), you will
still be able to steer your vehicle.
If the power assist is lost, you will notice it takes much more
effort to steer and that there is much more “free play” in the
steering wheel. If this happens, take your vehicle to an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
Cruise control
N00518300472
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that keeps
a set speed. It can be activated at speeds from about 25 mph
(40 km/h). Cruise control does not work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).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 more than the set speed on a
steep downhill. You have to use the brake to control your
speed. As a result, the set speed driving is deactivated.
WA R N I N G
!

Never turn off the engine while the vehicle is mov-
ing, or your ability to steer the vehicle may be seri-
ously reduced.CAUTION
!

Do not leave the steering wheel turned all the way in
one direction. This can cause damage to the power
steering system.
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, slippery, on a steep downhill
slope.


On vehicles with manual transaxle, 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.

NOTE

Start adjusting when the knob is at the “0” position (when
the beam is at its highest).


Keep the knob in the “0” position except when using the
knob to lower the headlight beam angle.


Always return the knob to the “0” position when the load
is removed and the people have left the vehicle.
Turn signal lever
N00522600447
When changing lanes, or to making a gradual turn, hold the
lever in the “lane change” position (1). It will return to the neu-
tral position when you let go. Use the full position (2) when
making a normal turn. The lever will return to the neutral posi-
tion when the turn is complete. There may be times when the
lever does not return to the neutral position. This usually hap-
pens when the steering wheel is turned only slightly. You can
easily return the lever by hand.
Also, when you move the lever to (1) slightly then release it,
the turn signal lights and the indicator light in the instrument
cluster will flash three times.

to recognize voice commands said by you.
You can turn a voice model registered with the speaker enroll-
ment function on and off whenever you want.

cess cannot be answered and operations initiated by the
steering wheel control switch or voice recognition will not

the “N” (Neutral) position (manual transaxle), or the gear-
shift lever in the “P” (PARK) position (Twin Clutch SST)
and pull the parking brake lever.NOTE

Speaker enrollment is not possible unless the vehicle is
parked. Make sure you park the vehicle in a safe area
before attempting speaker enrollment.


Please turn off your phone while in speaker enrollment to
prevent interruption of the process.

formed in a quiet environment while the vehicle is
stopped. See the owner’s manual for the list of required
training phrases. Press and release the SPEECH button
when you are ready to start. Press and hold the HANG-UP
button to cancel at any time”. Press the SPEECH button to

4-4 Driving safety

Defrosters Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower
switch on high. You should be able to feel the air blowing
against the windshield.
{Refer to “Defrosting or defogging (windshield, door win-
dow)” on page 5-10, 5-20, 5-30.}Tires Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear pat-
terns. Look for stones, nails, glass, or other objects stuck in the
tread. Look for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the
wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires (including spare tire) for
proper pressures. Replace your tires before they are heavily
worn out.
As your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system, there is a risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement
should, therefore, be performed only by an authorized Mitsub-
ishi Motors dealer.Lights Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on
and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and high-beam
indicators on the instrument panel. Fluid leaks Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or other leaks. Make sure all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you can smell fuel, you need to find out why
immediately and have it fixed.
Safe driving techniques
N00629200108
Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, and your safest driving,
cannot guarantee that you can avoid an accident or injury.
However, if you give extra attention to the following areas, you
can better protect yourself and your passengers:

Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather
conditions. Leave plenty of stopping distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.


Before changing lanes, check your mirrors and use your
turn signal light.


While driving, keep a tight grip on the steering wheel.


While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicy-
clists, and pedestrians.


Always obey applicable laws and regulations. Be a polite
and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected
events, such as sudden braking.


If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle
registration laws and make sure you will be able to get the
right fuel.
