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).
Refer to “Twin Clutch SST control mode” on page 3-120.NOTE
The cruising speed cannot be set when the Twin Clutch
SST control mode is set to “Sport” mode.3. Accelerate or decelerate to your desired speed, then press
and release the “COAST SET” switch (B) when the
“CRUISE” indicator light is illuminated. The vehicle will
then maintain the desired speed.
NOTE
The speed when you released the “COAST SET” switch
will be set as the cruising speed.Ty p e 1

WA R N I N G
!
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-

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
Mitsubishi 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.

The tachometer shows engine revolutions per minute. This
allows the driver to determine the most efficient shift position
(manual transaxle), selector position {continuously variable
transmission (CVT)} or shift position (Twin Clutch SST) and
engine speed combinations.
This gauge also assists in evaluating engine performance.

CAUTION
!
The red zone indicates an engine speed beyond the
range of safe operation.
Select the correct shift position (manual transaxle),
selector position (CVT) or gearshift position (Twin
Clutch SST) to control the engine speed so that the
tachometer indicator does not enter the red zone.
