The set speed driving can be deactivated as follows:
l Press the “ON OFF” switch (A). (Cruise
control will be turned off.)
l Press the “CANCEL” switch (D).
l Depress the brake pedal.
The set speed driving is deactivated automat-
ically in any of the following ways.
l When you depress the clutch pedal (on
vehicles with M/T).
l When your speed slows to about
15 km/h (9 mph) or more below the set
speed because of a hill, etc.
l When your speed slows to about
40 km/h (25 mph) or less.
l When the active stability & traction con-
trol (ASTC) starts operating. (if so
equipped)
Refer to “Active Stability & Traction
Control (ASTC)” on page 6-48.WARNINGl On vehicles with
A/T, although, the set
speed driving will be deactivated when
shifting to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position, never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving.
You would have no engine braking and
could cause a serious accident.
Also, the set speed driving may be deactiva-
ted as follows:
l When the engine speed rises and ap-
proaches the tachometer's red zone (the red-coloured part of the tachometer di- al).
CAUTIONl When the set speed driving is deactivated
automatically in any situation other thanthose listed above, there may be a system
malfunction.
Press the “ON-OFF” switch to turn off the cruise control and have it inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.To resume the set speed

If the set speed driving is deactivated by the
condition described in “To deactivate” on
page 6-54, you can resume the previously set
speed by pressing the “ACC RES” switch (C)
while driving at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or higher.

Cargo loads precautions
CAUTIONlWhen loading luggage, be careful to the fol-
lowing.
• Stow cargo and luggage in the cargo area
whenever possible.
• Distribute cargo or luggage evenly not to
be unbalanced in weight.
• Do not place cargo or luggage on the in-
strument panel.
Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage on the front passenger’s seat or the rear seat.
Having the driver’s vision blocked, and
your cargo being thrown inside the cabin if you suddenly have to brake can cause a
serious accident or injury.Trailer towing
E00610001674
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
when having a trailer towing device mounted that meets all relevant regulations in your
area, consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a
trailer may differ from country to country. You are advised to obey the regulations in
each area.CAUTIONl Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted according to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.NOTEl If you are going to tow a trailer, pay careful
attention to the following points.
Maximum towable weight with
brake and maximum trailer- nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight
with brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as listed in the specifications. (Referto “Vehicle weight” on page 11-11.)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight
by 10 % of the gross combination weight for
every increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine output is lowered owing to de-
crease in atmospheric pressure.
Towing bar mounting specifi-cations
See the following table for fixing points (A) for the towing bar.

plicable to unladen vehicles. These values
can also be varied depending on the tyre size, optional equipment and suspension
conditions.Operating hints
l Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with a
M/a only) and do not increase the engine
speed more than necessary when start-
ing.Trailer towing
6-57OKTE15E3Starting and driving6
Page 190 of 418
lBe sure that the driving speed does not
exceed the maximum speed for trailer
operation.
l To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
l To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower gear before descend-
ing a slope.
l The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis
will be under additional strain when
towing a trailer.
l The heavier weight and higher rolling
and air resistance will increase fuel con- sumption.
Additional precautions for vehi-
cles equipped with an automatic
transmission
The 2 nd
gear (in “Sports mode”) is recom-
mended on slopes or at low speed. Use the 1 st
gear (in “Sports mode”) in mountainous areas
in order to make better use of engine braking and to assist the brake system. However, be
sure that the speed does not exceed the maxi- mum speed limit for the selected gear.
