CAUTIONlIf it continues racing the tyre by depressing
the accelerator pedal too much while ASC is turned off, parts such as the transaxle may
be damaged and this could lead to an unex- pected accident.NOTEl When moving out of mud, sand or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not
allow the Plug-in Hybrid EV System output to increase. In such situations, if you turn off the ASC by pressing the “ASC OFF” switch,
it becomes easy to rotate the driving wheel
and it may effective to move away.
Refer to “If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow” on page 9-21.
l Using the “ASC OFF” switch turns off both
the stability control function and the traction control function.
l If you continue to press the “ASC OFF”
switch after the ASC is turned off, the “mis- taken operation protection function” will ac-tivate and the ASC will turn back on.ASC operation indicator or

-ASC operation indicator
The indicator will blink when the ASC is operating. -ASC OFF indicator
This indicator will turn on
when the ASC is turned off with the “ASC OFF” switch.CAUTIONl When indicator blinks, ASC is operating,
which means that the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels are beginning to slip.
If this happens, drive slower with less accel- erator input.
l If the temperature in the braking system con-
tinues to increase due to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the
in-
dicator will blink. To prevent the brake sys- tem from overheating, the brake control of the traction control function will be tempora-
rily suspended.
The Plug-in Hybrid EV System control of the traction control function and normal
brake operation will not be affected. Park your vehicle in a safe place. When the tem-
perature in the braking system has come
down, the
indicator will be turned off and
the traction control function will start operat-
ing again.
NOTEl The indicator may turn on when you start
the Plug-in Hybrid EV System. This means that the battery voltage momentarily drop- ped when the Plug-in Hybrid EV System
was started. It does not indicate a malfunc- tion, provided that the indicator goes out im-
mediately.ASC warning lamp/display

CAUTIONlThe system may be malfunctioning.
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. If they go out, there is no abnormal con-
dition. If they do not go out or appear fre-
quently, it is not necessary to stop the vehi- cle immediately, but we recommend you tohave your vehicle inspected.Cruise control*
E00609102177
Cruise control is an automatic speed controlsystem that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.
CAUTIONl When you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
l Do not use cruise control when driving con-
ditions will not allow you to stay at the same
speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet, slippery, on a steep downhill slope.NOTEl Cruise control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.NOTEl Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.
l Your speed may increase to more than the
set speed on a steep downhill. You must use the brake to control your speed. As a result, the set speed driving is deactivated.
l The regenerative level B0 or B1 cannot be
selected under the cruise control. The buzzer
sounds if you try to select these levels.

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 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

NOTElIf the Speed Limiter is cancelled by other
states, it may be a system malfunction.
Stop using the Speed Limiter and turn off
the Speed Limiter. Have your vehicle in-
spected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Serv-
ice Point.CAUTIONl There is a possibility for the Speed Limiter
to allow abrupt acceleration corresponding
to accelerator pedal position when the Speed Limiter is deactivated. Be careful.To resume
E00634501022
The Speed Limiter memorizes the set speed
when system has been deactivated, the Speed
Limiter can resume by push up the RES +
switch (C).
However, the Speed Limiter immediately
starts controlling and the vehicle decreases as if an accelerator pedal is closed fully, whenthe vehicle speed is higher than the set speed.CAUTIONl There is a possibility to occur jerk, depend-
ing on a running resistance. Be careful.Adaptive Cruise Control
System (ACC)* E00634601094
The ACC maintains a set speed with no needfor you to use the accelerator pedal. Using a
sensor (A), the system also measures the rela- tive speed and distance between your vehicle
and a vehicle in front, and maintains a set fol- lowing distance between your vehicle and thevehicle in front by automatically decelerating
your vehicle if it becomes too close to the ve-
hicle in front.
The ACC is the driver assist system to make comfortable on a freeway. Stop lamps are il-luminated during automatic braking.
If you desire, a cruise control without inter-
vention of the following distance control is
also selectable.NOTEl You cannot operate the regenerative brake
controls while the adaptive cruise control
system (ACC) is operating. If doing so, the
buzzer sounds.
l If you turn on the adaptive cruise control
(ACC) when the select position is in “B” (in-
cluding B0 to B5) position, the select posi-
tion is changed to “D” position.WARNINGl A driver is responsible for driving safely.
Even if the ACC is in use, always grasp the surrounding circumstances and pro- vide for safe driving.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*
7-43OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

WARNINGlNever rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is
the system to reduce load on the driver.
The ACC is not a collision avoidance sys-
tem or an automatic driving system. The system is not intended to compensate for
driver’s loss of attention to the front dur-
ing driving due to distraction or careless-
ness or supplement a drop in visibility due
to the rain and fog.
It is never a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always be ready to applythe brakes manually.
l This system may not correctly detect the
actual situation depending on the type of vehicle in front and its conditions, theweather conditions, and the road condi-
tions.
Additionally, the system may be unable to
decelerate sufficiently if the vehicle in front applies the brakes suddenly or an- other vehicle cuts into your path, so yourvehicle approaches the front vehicle.Improper usage of this system or loss of
attention to the front by the over-rely on the ACC, may result in a serious accident.CAUTIONl In the following situations, the system may
become transiently unable to detect a vehicle in front or triggers its control and alarm
functions by detecting something other than a vehicle in front.CAUTION• When driving in curved sections of road
including their entrance/outlet or running beside a closed lane in a traffic work or
similar zone.
• When your vehicle position in a lane is in-
stable, is frequently steered to right and left, or running unstably due to a trafficaccident, trouble with some vehicles, etc.
• When driving on the road that the vehicle
in front runs in offset position from your
vehicle.
l Never use the ACC in any of the following
situations. Failure to follow this instructioncould lead to an accident.
• On roads with heavy traffic or roads in-
cluding many windings or steep curves.
CAUTION• On roads with slippery surfaces, such as
frozen, snow-covered, and dirt roads.
• Under adverse weather conditions (rain,
snow, sand storms, etc.).
• On steep downslopes.
• On roads including steep up and down
slopes or many changes in inclination.
• In traffic requiring frequent acceleration
and deceleration.
• When the proximity alarm sounds fre-
quently.
• When your vehicle is towed or your vehi-
cle tows another vehicle.
• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna-
mometer or free rollers.
• When the air pressure in the tyres is not
correct.
• When installing the spare tyre for emer-
gency.
• When snow traction device (tyre chains)
are attached.
l Be sure to take the following precautions to
keep the system in good operating condi-
tions.
Improper handling of the system compo-
nents may result in degraded sensor per- formance.
• Avoid application of strong shock loads to
the sensor and never tamper with or re-
move the sensor mounting screws.
• The cover in front of the sensor and the
sensor should be kept clean.
