2010 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER Ignition

3-140 Features and controls
3Cruise control
(if so equipped)
N00518300515
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.
CAUTION
!

If the front-wheel drive vehicle is towed with the
ignition switch in the “ON” position and only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the
ground, the traction control system may operate,
resulting in an accident. When towing the vehicle
with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch
in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position. When towing
the automatic transaxle vehicle with the rear wheels
raised, keep the ignition switch in the “ACC” posi-
tion.
Refer to “Towing” on page 6-25.
In case of automatic transaxle vehicle
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.

The tire pressure monitoring system warning
light / display
N00532700236
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the
tire pressure monitoring system warning light normally illumi-
nates and goes off a few seconds later.
If one or more of the vehicle tires (except for the spare tire) is
significantly under-inflated, the warning light will remain illu-
minated while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
Refer to “If the warning light / display illuminates while driv-
ing” on page 3-152 and take the necessary measures.NOTE

In addition, the warning display is displayed on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information display.

CAUTION
!

If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
does not illuminate when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position, it means that the tire
pressure monitoring system is not working properly.
Have the system inspected by an authorized Mitsub-
ishi Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.


If a malfunction is detected in the tire pressure mon-
itoring system, the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light will blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. The
warning light will issue further warnings each time
the engine is restarted as long as the malfunction
exists.
Check to see whether the warning light goes off after
few minutes driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no prob-
lem.
However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it
blinks again when the engine is restarted, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. For safety reasons, when the warning light
appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp
turning and high-speed driving.

WA R N I N G
!

Never rely solely on the rear-view camera to clear
the area behind your vehicle. Always check visually
behind and all around your vehicle for persons, ani-
mals, obstructions or other vehicles. Failure to do so
can result in vehicle damage, serious injury or
death.


The rear-view camera is an aid system for backing
up, but it is not a substitute for your visual confir-
mation.


The view on the screen is limited, and objects out-
side the view, such as under the bumper or around
either corner of the bumper end, cannot be seen on
the screen.
CAUTION
!

If the camera lens gets dirty, a clear image cannot be
obtained. As necessary, rinse the lens with clean
water and gently wipe with a clean, soft cloth.


To avoid damaging the camera; Do not rub the cover excessively or polish it by
using an abrasive compound.
 Do not disassemble the camera.
 Do not splash hot water directly on the lens.
 Do not spray the camera and its surroundings with
high-pressure water.
 Make sure that the tailgate is securely closed when
backing up.

mation display)


If you press and hold the button for longer than about 1
second when the front side-marker and parking lights are
