Warning lampWarning displayCAUTIONlIf the warning is displayed, the hill start as-
sist will not operate. Start off carefully.
l Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
Restart the Plug-in Hybrid EV System and check whether the display/indicator goes
out, in which case the hill start assist is
working normally again.
If they remain displayed or reappear fre- quently, it is not necessary to stop the vehi-cle immediately, but the vehicle should be inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point as soon as possible.Brake assist system
E00627001546
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly when it is necessary to do so (such as
in emergency stop situations) and provides
greater braking force.

If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.CAUTIONl The brake assist system is not a device de-
signed to exercise braking force greater than its capacity. Make sure to always keep a suf-
ficient distance between vehicles in front of
you without relying too much on the brake
assist system.NOTEl Once the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.NOTEl When the brake assist system is in use, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal issoft, the pedal moves in small motions inconjunction with the sound of the ABS oper- ation, or the vehicle body and the steering
wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
firmly depress the brake pedal.
l You may hear an operation noise when the
brake pedal is depressed suddenly while sta-
tionary. This does not indicate a malfunction
and the brake assist system is operating nor- mally.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp or the Active Stability Control warning lamp illuminate, the brake assist system is
not functioning.Emergency stop signal
system E00626001060
This is a device that reduces the possibility ofrear end collisions by the rapid and automatic blinking of the hazard warning lamps to alert
vehicles approaching from behind during sudden braking. When the emergency stop
signal system operates, the hazard warning indication lamp in the instrument cluster
blinks rapidly at the same time.

To resume the set speed
E00609801715
If the set speed driving is deactivated by the
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.
l The operation mode is put in OFF.
l Indicator display go off.
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
E00633301023
There are 4 switches which relate to the
Speed Limiter on the steering wheel.
