NOTE
When continuously driving on closed circuit tracks or at
other locations where the engine is operated at high
speeds and under a heavy load, the Twin Clutch SST fluid
temperature will have a tendency to rise.
In this case, if the temperature rises too high, the warn-
ing display will appear on the information screen in the
multi-information display to alert the driver.
If the warning display appears, be sure to refer to
“Warning display” on page 3-110 and follow the appropri-
ate measures.

The Twin Clutch SST control mode can be selected both
when “D” range operation is selected and when manual
shifting is selected.

If you select “Sport” mode while the engine is cold, the
transmission may shift up at different speeds compared to
that when the engine is warm.
This is simply the operation of the control system to warm
the engine quickly. It does not indicate a malfunction.

For slippery road surfaces, such as roads with accumu-
lated snow, “Normal” mode is recommended for smooth
shifting at low engine speeds.

change the control mode.

To activate
N00518400284
1. Lightly press the “ON OFF” switch (A).
NOTE
If the cruise control is on when the ignition switch is
turned to “OFF” position, cruise control will turn on auto-
matically and the “CRUISE” control indicator will illumi-
nate the next time you start the engine.

If the battery voltage is insufficient, the memory data for
the cruise control will be erased. As a result, the
“CRUISE” control indicator may not come on when you
restart the engine. If this happens, press the “ON OFF”
switch once again to activate the cruise control.
2. Confirm that the Twin Clutch SST control mode is set to
“Normal” (on vehicles with Twin Clutch SST).

The cruise control will be turned off automatically in the fol-
lowing conditions:

When you depress the clutch pedal (on vehicles with man-
ual transaxle).

Your speed slows to about 10 mph (15 km/h) or more
below the set speed because of an uphill, etc.

Your speed slows to about 25 mph (40 km/h) or less.

When the Twin Clutch SST control mode is set to “Sport”
mode (on vehicles with Twin Clutch SST).
Refer to “Twin Clutch SST control mode” on page 3-113.

When the active stability control (ASC) starts operating
(if so equipped).
Refer to “Active stability control (ASC)” on page 3-138.Also, the set speed driving may be deactivated as follow:

When the engine speed rises and approaches the tachome-
ter’s red zone (the red-colored part of the tachometer dial).
WARNING
!
On vehicles with continuously variable transmission
(CVT) or Twin Clutch SST, although the cruise con-
trol will be disengaged when shifting to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position, never move the selector lever
(CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) to
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving.
You would have no engine braking and this 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 your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice.
