If the warning lamp illuminates while
driving
E00607300663
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates l Avoid hard braking and
high-speed
driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see whether
the lamp goes out after a few minutes driv-
ing; if it then remains off during driving,
there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it
lights up again when the vehicle is driven,
we recommend you to have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
l The ABS warning lamp can illuminate if the
battery voltage is insufficient when the en-
gine is started. In this case, it does not indi-
cate an ABS fault.
Charge the battery by allowing the engine to
idle for a while.
If the battery has been charged but the ABS
warning lamp continues to illuminate or illu-
minates intermittently, have the vehicle in-
spected.
If the ABS warning lamp and brake warning
lamp illuminate at the same time l The ABS and brake force distribution func-
tion may not work, so hard braking could
make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. NOTE
l Immediately
after the vehicle starts
moving
after engine start up, a whining sound of a mo-
tor will be heard from the engine compart-
ment. If the brake pedal is depressed at that
moment, you can feel the brake pedal pulsat-
ing.
This pulsation is due to the self-diagnosis op-
eration of the ABS and does not indicate a
malfunction.
l After driving on snowy roads, remove any
snow and ice which may have become ad-
hered to the wheel areas.
When doing this, be careful not to damage
the wheel speed sensors (A) and cables loca-
ted at each wheel on vehicles equipped with
an ABS.

The ABS becomes operative after the vehicle
has accelerated to a
speed
in excess of approx-
imately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops operating
when the vehicle decelerates to a speed be-
low approximately 7 km/h (4 mph). Starting and driving

To deactivate
E00609701088
The set speed driving can
be deactivated as follows:
l Press the “ON OFF” switch (A). (Cruise con-
trol will be turned off.)
l Press the “CANCEL” switch (D).
l Depress the brake pedal. The set speed driving is deactivated automatically
in any of the following ways.
l When you depress the
clutch
pedal (on vehi-
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)
Refer to “Active Stability & Traction Con-
trol (ASTC)” on page 4-47. WARNING
l On 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). CAUTION
l
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 4-53,
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. Starting and driving

Cargo loads
E00609901123
Cargo loads precautions CAUTION
l
When
loading
luggage, be
careful to the
following. • Stow cargo and luggage in the cargoarea whenever possible.
• Distribute cargo or luggage evenly not to be unbalanced in weight.
• Do not place cargo or luggage on the instrument panel.
Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage
on the front passenger’s seat or the
rear seat.
Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside
the cabin if you suddenly have to
brake can cause a serious accident or
injury. Trailer towing (Except for
vehicles for Morocco) E00610000521
In order to tow a
trailer with your vehicle, when hav-
ing a trailer towing device mounted that meets all
relevant regulations in your area, consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a trailer
may differ from country to country. You are ad-
vised to obey the regulations in each area. CAUTION
l
Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should
be
fitted according
to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
NOTE l If
you are going to
tow a trailer, pay careful
attention to the following points.
Maximum towable weight with brake
and maximum trailer-nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight with
brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as lis-
ted in the specifications. (Refer to “Vehicle
weight” on page 9-10.)
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 combination weight for every in-
crease of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine out-
put is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric
pressure. Towing bar mounting specifications
See
the following table
for
fixing points (A) for the
towing bar.

Important operation tips for the
air conditioning E00708300951
l Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot
sun
will make the vehicle
inside extremely hot, and it will require more
time to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the
windows for the first few minutes of air con-
ditioning operation to expel the hot air.
l Close the windows when the air conditioning
is in use. The entry of outside air through
open windows will reduce the cooling effi-
ciency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the health.
The inside air temperature should only be 5
to 6 °C below the outside air temperature.
l When operating the system, make sure the
air intake, which is located in front of the
windscreen, is free of obstructions such as
leaves and snow. Leaves collected in the air-
intake plenum may reduce air flow and plug
the plenum water drains.
Air conditioning system refrigerant
and lubricant recommendations
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usu-
al, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. We recom-
mend you to have the system inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must
be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the
lubricant ZXL-100PG.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause
severe damage which will result in the need to re-
place your vehicle’s entire air conditioning system.
The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere
should be prevented. It is recommended that the refrigerant be recovered
and recycled for further use.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should
be
operated for at least
five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This
is to prevent poor lubrication of the compressor in-
ternal parts and to maintain the air conditioning in
the best operating condition. Air purifier*
E00708400675
An air filter has been
incorporated into this air con-
ditioning so that dirt and dust are cleaned from the
air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability to
clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen
and dirt. For the maintenance interval, refer to the
“SERVICE BOOKLET”.
NOTE
l Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the
air conditioning can lead to reduction of serv-
ice life of the filter. When you feel that the
air flow is lower than normal or when the
windscreen or windows start to fog up easily,
replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked. For pleasant driving

RDS uses PI (program identification) signal and AF (alternative frequency) list transmitted in addition to the normal FM broadcasting programs, and picks up the
FM stations that are transmitting the same program from the AF list and automatically tunes to the station with the strongest signal intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening
to one program in, for example, a long distance driving without retuning to the other station transmitting the same program
when you are leaving the service area of the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited reception of the program types, the break-in reception of the traffic announcement to the EON (enhanced other network)
and emergency broadcast, and the limited/unlimited reception of the regional programs. For pleasant driving
