condition described in “To deactivate” on
page 7-37, you can resume the previously set
speed by push up the RES + switch (C) while
driving at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph)
or higher. The “SET” indicator appears on
the information display in the meter cluster.
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 CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF
switch is pressed.

Speed Limiter*
E00633201048
The Speed Limiter is a driver assist function to prevent from exceeding the speed set by
driver while Plug-in Hybrid EV System pow- er control.CAUTIONl Because the system does not use service
brake (hydraulic brake), the vehicle speed
may exceed the set speed on the downhill.
If a driver wants to keep the vehicle speed in such a situation, he/she must put on a servicebrake.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed
(about 3 km/h (2 mph)), the indicator will
brink in the combination meter.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed about +3 km/h (2 mph) more than about 5 seconds after indicated alert message, beep
alert is sounded for about 10 seconds at the most.
While running without alert message, if you
decrease the set speed and vehicle speed is more than set speed about +3 km/h (2 mph) ,
alert message is displayed but beep alert is delayed.
In this case, when vehicle speed keeps ex-
ceeding set speed about +3 km/h (2 mph) for
about 30 seconds after the alert message is appeared, beep alert is sounded for about 10
seconds at the most.
If the vehicle speeds decreases less than set
speeds after the alert message is appeared, the message is disappeared. When beep alert is sounding, the beep alert also goes off.NOTEl However, this gives priority to audio and
visual signal of safety reasons or driver’s de-mand.Speed Limiter control switches

CAUTION•Do not cover the sensor mounted area of
the vehicle or the sensor cover with a
sticker or anything such as a grill guard
etc.
• The sensor front cover should not be
modified or painted.
• Avoid using different size tyres from
those specified and maintain even tyre wear.
• Do not modify the suspension of your ve-
hicle.
l When the cover in front of the sensor or the
sensor is deformed by an accident, please do
not use the ACC and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
When ACC detects no vehicle
in front within the set distance
Your vehicle runs at a speed to which you set. It is possible to set the speed between ap-
proximately 40 and 180 km/h.
NOTEl If the vehicle speed exceed the set speed on
down slope, the system automatically ap-plies the brake to maintain the vehicle speed.NOTEl When depressing the brake pedal while auto-
matic brake is applied, the brake pedal is felt solidly, but it is not abnormal. You can moredepress the pedal and it provides greater
braking force.
l Sound is heard while automatic brake, but it
is operated a brake control and not abnor-
mal.
When ACC detects a vehicle in
front within the set distance
The ACC makes control to maintain a fol- lowing distance (time gap) matched with the vehicle speed between your vehicle and a ve-
hicle in front while also activating brakes as necessary.
If the vehicle in front stops, the ACC reacts
to it by stopping your vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal as soon as your vehi- cle comes to a stop.
NOTEl If you do not depress the brake pedal within
2 seconds after an automatic stop, you arealerted to automatic cancellation of the ACC
by a buzzer and display message and the
ACC shifts into the ‘standby state’.
The vehicle will then start creeping as the
brakes are released.CAUTIONl Never leave the vehicle when it is stopped
by automatic braking.
When the ACC no longer detects any vehicle
in front, a buzzer sounds and the symbol of
vehicle running ahead disappears from the
screen. The vehicle is slowly accelerated to
resume the set speed and continues running at
that speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*
7-45OGGE14E5Starting and driving7
WARNINGlYour vehicle may accelerate up to the set
speed in the following situations. Apply the brake, if necessary, to slow down.
• When your vehicle no longer follows
the vehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway ex-it or when your vehicle or the vehicle in
front changes its lane.WARNING• When driving on a curve.
l If the vehicle in front turns off or changes
lane and another stationary vehicle is lo- cated in front of that vehicle, the ACCwill not make deceleration control to the
stationary vehicle.
Proximity alarm
E00634701079
While the ACC is active, if your vehicle ap-
proaches too closely to a vehicle in front be-cause the ACC cannot allow for an adequate
deceleration in such cases as rapid decelera-
tion of the vehicle in front or apparition of a vehicle cutting in front of your vehicle, the
ACC gives a warning by sounding a buzzer and displaying a message.
If this happens, increase the following dis-
tance by depressing the brake pedal or mak- ing other decelerating control.
CAUTIONl When the ACC is not in use, turn off the
system to prevent it from operating by mis-take and an unexpected accident.
l Never operate the ACC from outside the ve-
hicle.
l Neither control nor a warning are performed
in the following situation.
• Something other than a vehicle ap-
proaches, such as a pedestrian.
• When there is an abnormality in the sys-
tem (When the ACC detectes an abnor-mality, “ACC SERVICE REQUIRED” is
indicated.)
l The ACC makes neither acceleration nor de-
celeration control and only issues warning inthe following situation.
• The vehicle in front is parked or moving
at an extremely slow speed.
l The ACC may not be able to maintain the
set speed or the distance to a vehicle in front
and may not alert the driver, if the system
