ASC operation display or ASC OFF display
N00559500183
NOTE
The combination of items shown on the display varies
depending on the vehicle model.
NOTE
The display/indicator may come on when you start the
engine. This means that the battery voltage momentarily
dropped when the engine was started. It does not indicate
a malfunction, provided that the display goes out immedi-
ately.

When a spare tire has been put on your vehicle, the grip-
ping ability of the tire will be lower, making it more likely
that the display/indicator will blink.
-ASC operation display/ASC indicator
The display/indicator will blink when the ASC is operat-
ing.
-ASC OFF display/ASC OFF indicator
This display/incicator will turn on when the ASC is
turned off with the “ASC OFF” switch.
CAUTION
!
When display/indicator blinks, ASC is operating,
which means that the road is slippery or that your
vehicle’s wheels are beginning to slip. If this hap-
pens, drive slower.
If the temperature in the braking system continues
to increase due to continuous brake control on a
slippery road surface, the display/indicator will
blink. To prevent the brake system from overheat-
ing, the brake control of the traction control func-
tion will be temporarily suspended. The engine
control of the traction control function and normal
brake operation will not be affected. Park your vehi-
cle in a safe place. When the temperature in the
braking system has come down, the display/indi-
cator will be turned off and the traction control
function will start operating again.

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

The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in
the following circumstances:

A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is
near the vehicle.

Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the
wheels.

The tire inflation pressure sensor’s battery is dead.

Wheels other than Mitsubishi genuine wheels are being
used.

Wheels that are not fitted with tire inflation pressure sen-
sors are being used.

Wheels whose ID codes are not memorized by the vehicle
are used.

Compact spare tire is fitted on a road wheel.

A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is
installed.NOTE
Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambient tempera-
ture. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambi-
ent temperature, the tire inflation pressures may be under-
inflated (causing the warning light/display to come on)
when the ambient temperature is relatively low. If the
warning light/display comes on, adjust the tire inflation
pressure.
Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with
new ones
N00532900179
If new wheels with new tire inflation pressure sensors are
installed, their ID codes must be programmed into the tire pres-
sure monitoring system. Have tire and wheel replacement per-
formed by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to avoid the
risk of damaging the tire inflation pressure sensors. If the
wheel replacement is not done by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer, it is not covered by your warranty.
CAUTION
!
The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent the
proper fit of the tire inflation pressure sensors,
resulting in air leakage or damage to the sensors.

tion display can be reset separately in both auto reset
mode and manual reset mode.

“---” is displayed when the average fuel consumption can-
not be measured.

The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset mode”.

Average fuel consumption may vary depend on the driv-
ing conditions (road conditions, how you drive, etc.) The
actual fuel consumption may differ from the fuel con-
sumption displayed, so treat the fuel consumption dis-
played as just a rough guideline.

The average fuel consumption display memories for auto
reset mode and manual reset mode are erased if the battery
is disconnected.

The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
{mpg (US), mpg (UK), L/100 km or km/L}.

fuel consumption, the momentary fuel consumption is dis-
played with a green bar graph. (Type 2)
Be conscious of maintaining the momentary fuel consumption
above the average fuel consumption, it can help you drive with
the better fuel consumption.NOTE
When the momentary fuel consumption cannot be mea-
sured, a bar graph is not shown.

The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
{mpg (US), mpg (UK), L/100 km or km/L}.
