CAUTION•If the temperature in the braking sys-
tem continues to increase due to con-
tinuous brake control on a slippery
road surface, the
indication lamp
will illuminate, and operation of the
Active Stability Control function and
active traction control function will be
suspended to protect the brake sys-
tem. (Normal operation of the vehicle
will not be affected.) Park your vehi-
cle in a safe place. When the tempera-
ture in the braking system has come
down, the
indication lamp will go
off and the Active Stability Control
function and active traction control
function will start operating again.
• If the
indication lamp does not go
out even though the above procedure
is followed, there could be a problem
in the system.
Stop the engine and start the engine
again and check whether the
indi-
cation lamp goes out. If the indication
lamp goes out, there is no abnormal
condition.
If the
indication lamp illuminates
even after your vehicle is driven a
short distance after restarting the en-
gine, we recommend you to have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
CAUTIONl If the 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 ASTC may op-
erate, resulting in an accident. When tow-
ing the vehicle with the front wheels
raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position. When tow-
ing the vehicle with the rear wheels
raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“ACC” position.
Refer to “Towing” on page 6-20.Cruise control* E00609100779
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.CAUTIONl When you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
l 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 down-
hill slope.
l On vehicles with manual transmission, do
not move the gearshift lever to the “N”
(Neutral) position while driving at a set
speed without depressing the clutch ped-
al. The engine will run too fast and might
be damaged.
NOTE
l Cruise control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.
l Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.
l Your speed may increase to more than the
set speed on a steep downhill. You must use
the brake to control your speed. As a result,
the set speed driving is deactivated.

C- “ACC RES” switch
Used to increase the set speed and to return to the
original set speed.

D- “CANCEL” switch
Used to deactivate the set speed driving.
NOTE l When operating the cruise control switches,

tion, press the “ON OFF” switch (A) to turn
on the cruise control. The “CRUISE” indica-
tion lamp in the meter cluster will come on.

switch is turned to the “LOCK” or “ACC” po-
sition, cruise control will be on automatically
the next time you start the engine.
The “CRUISE” indication lamp will also be
on.
l If the battery voltage is insufficient, the mem-
ory data for the cruise control may be erased.

cles with M/T).
l When your speed slows to about 15 km/h
(9 mph) or more below the set speed because
of a hill, etc.
l When your speed slows to about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or less.
l When the active stability & traction control
(ASTC) starts operating. (if so equipped)

WARNINGlOn vehicles with
A/T, although, the set
speed driving will be deactivated when
shifting to the “N” (NEUTRAL) 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.
Also, the set speed driving may be deactivated as
follows:
l When the engine speed rises and approaches
the tachometer's red zone (the red-coloured
part of the tachometer dial).
CAUTIONl When the set speed driving is deactivated
automatically 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 inspected
by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.To resume the set speed E00609800561
If the set speed driving is deactivated by the condi-
tion described in “To deactivate” on page 4-51,
you can resume the previously set speed by press-
ing 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:
l The “ON OFF” switch is pressed.
l The ignition switch is turned OFF.
l “CRUISE” indication lamp is turned OFF.
