There are two ways to increase the set speed. The set speed will increase by 1 mph (1 km/h) every time you push up the “RES +” switch while the ACC is activated. If you hold the switch pushed up, the set speedincreases in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments.
When the accelerator
pedal is depressed
while driving with the ACC control working, you can accelerate th
e vehicle beyond the
presently set speed. When the vehicle spee
d reaches your desired
speed, push down and
release the “SET -”
switch and release the accelerator pedal; the new speed is then set in the system.

NOTE
 There is some time lag until the vehicle begins accelera
ting to the new set speed after
the set speed has been changed.  The set speed can be changed even while your vehicle is follow
ing a vehicle in front
using the ACC. In this case, however, although the set speed it
self is increased,
your vehicle will
not accelerate.
 When the switch is held, a buzzer will sound every time the set speed changes

Tire pressure monitoring system 5-116 Features and controls
5
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold andinflated to the inflation pressure recom- mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you shoulddetermine the proper ti
re inflation pressure
for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle hasbeen equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your
tires is significant
ly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell-tale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-nificantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead
to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehi-cle’s handling and stoppi
ng ability. Please
note that the TPMS is
not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s
responsibility to
maintain corre
ct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMSlow tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also
been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indica
tor to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one min- ute and then remain c
ontinuously illuminated.
This sequence will c
ontinue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not
be able to detect or
signal low tire pr
essure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on thevehicle that prevent the TPMS from function- ing properly. Always
check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing one or moretires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function prop- erly.
N00532801511
1. If the tire pressure monitoring systemwarning light illuminates, avoiding hard braking, sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tires to the proper inflation pressure as soon as possible. Adjust the spare tire atthe same time. Refer to “Tires” on page 9-14.
NOTE
 In addition, the warni
ng display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor-mation display.

NOTE
 In addition, the warni
ng display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display.  When inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, do not apply excessive force to the valve stem to
avoid breakage.
 After inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, always reinstall the valve cap on thevalve stem. Without the valve cap, di
rt or moisture could
get into the valve, resulting in damage to thetire inflation pressure sensor.  Do not use metal valve caps, which may cause a metal reaction,
resulting in corrosion
and damage of the tire

1. Place the tire on the center of the tirehanger, with the wheel surface facing upwards.
CAUTION Never use your foot or a pipe extension to apply added force to the wheel nut wrench when tightening the wheel nuts. If you do so,you can over-tighten the wheel nuts and damage the wheel, wheel nuts and hub bolts.
CAUTION Driving with an improperly inflated tire can cause an accident. If
you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep your speed down and avoid sudden steering or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to thecorrect pressure as s
oon as possible. Refer to
“Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-18. After changing the tire
and driving the vehi-
cle about 620 miles (1,000 km), retighten the wheel nuts to make sure that they have notcome loose.
 If the steering wheel vibrates when driving after changing th
e tire, have the tire checked
for balance at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. Do not mix one type of
tire with another or
use a different size from the one listed. This would cause early we
ar and poor handling.
To store the spare tire
CAUTIONStoring the tire with the wheel surface facing down may damage the wheel or tire hanger. If you find any damage
on a spare tire, do not
use the tire and contact an authorized Mit-subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.CAUTION

Maximum Pressure indicates the maximum permissible cold tire infla- tion pressure for this tire. The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire but the datecode may only be on one side. Look for the TIN on the outboard side of tires as mounted on the vehicle. If theTIN is not found on the outboard side then you will find it on the inboard side of the tire.

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when testedunder controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (11/2) times as well on th
e government course
as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance
of tires depends upon th
e actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart signifi-cantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service
practices and differ-
ences in road characteristics and climate. The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions onspecified government te
st surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
WA R N I N GOverloading of your tire is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehi- cle handling, and increaseyour stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.Never overload them.
