If the set speed driving is deactivated by thecondition described in “To deactivate” on page 5-95, you can resu
me the previously set
speed by push up the RES+ switch (C) while driving at a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or higher.The “SET” indicator appears on the informa- tion display in the meter
cluster. (For vehicles
equipped with the color liquid crystal displaymeter)
To deactivate
WA R N I N G Although the set sp
eed driving will be
deactivated when shifting to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position, never move theselector lever to
the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position while driving. You would have no engine braking andcould cause a serious accident.
CAUTION When the set speed driving is deactivated automatically in any
situation other than
those listed above, th
ere may be a system
malfunction. Press the CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF switch to turn off the cruise control and haveyour vehicle inspected by an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer or

ACC maintains a set speed with no need for you to use the accelerator pedal. Using a sen-sor (A), the system also measures the relative speed and distance between your vehicle and a vehicle in front, and maintains a set follow-ing distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front by auto
matically decelerating
your vehicle if it becomes too close to the vehicle in front.The cruising set speed can be set from 25 mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180 km/h). The distance can be select
ed from three levels.
If the vehicle in front decelerates, the ACC will automatically apply limited braking to maintain the distance, a
nd if the front vehicle
then accelerates, the ACC will automatically accelerate your vehicle up to the set speed. If your vehicle is approa
ching too close to the
front vehicle, a buzzer
will sound and a warn-
ing is shown in the multi information display.When the ACC detects no vehicle ahead, the set speed will be maintained. Conventional cruise cont
rol mode without the
distance control can also be selected. Stop lights are illuminated during automatic braking.

WA R N I N G Before using the ACC, read this entire sec- tion to understand th
e limitations of this
system. Failure to follow instructionscould result in an accident. Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is not a collision avoidance system or an automatic driving system. It is designed to use only limited brak
ing and is never a
substitute for your safe and careful driv- ing. Always be ready to apply the brakes manually.

You can set the speed anywhere from approx- imately 25 mph (40 km/h) to 110 mph (180 km/h). While a vehicle in front
is being detected and
your vehicle speed is
between a
pproximately
6 mph (10 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h), youcan activate the ACC. In this case, the set speed will be set at 25 mph (40 km/h). The ACC cannot otherwis
e be activated while
your vehicle is traveling less than 25 mph (40 km/h) or greater than 110 mph (180 km/h).
N00581300025
The speed of your vehicle will be maintained at the speed you have set. The speed can be set between approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) and 110 mph (180 km/h).
N00581400039
The ACC will maintain the distance to thefront vehicle and will apply the brakes auto-matically when the system judges braking is necessary. The distance
can be selected from
three levels. When the front vehicle stops, the ACC will automatically apply the brakes to stop yourvehicle. A few seconds after your vehicle has stopped, the ACC will release the brakes and yourvehicle will start to
move or creep slowly.
You must apply the brakes to keep your vehi- cle stationary.
NOTE
When any of the following conditions are present, the ACC will not activate. • When your vehicle speed is lower than approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or greaterthan 110 mph (180 km/h). • When your vehicle is driven at speeds between approxi
mately 6 mph (10 km/h)
and 25 mph (40 km/h) and the ACC is not detecting a vehi
cle in front.
• When ASC is in the OFF position.
• While ABS, ASC or
TCL is activated.
• When the selector leve
r is in positions other
than “D” (DRIVE) and “Ds” (DOWN- SHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING). • While the brake pedal is depressed. • While the parking brake is engaged.• When the ACC system has judged that the performance for detect
ing a front vehicle is
degraded. • When an abnormality
in the ACC system
has been detected.
When ACC detects no vehicle in front within the set distance
NOTE
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed on a down slope, the system will automatically apply the brake to maintain the vehicle set speed.NOTE

While the ACC is activated, if your vehicle is approaching too closely to the vehicle in front, the ACC gives a warning by sounding abuzzer and displaying
a message. Apply the
brakes to maintain the appropriate distance to the vehicle in front.
NOTE
If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehi
cle has been stopped
by the ACC, a warni
ng buzzer will sound,
the above warning will be shown in the multi information display to alert the driver, and the ACC control will be canceled. When depressing the brake pedal while the automatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to
apply greater braking
force. During the automatic
braking, operation
sounds may be heard. This is normal.WA R N I N G Never leave the vehicle while it is being stopped by the ACC.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set speed in the following situations. Applythe brake, if necessary, to slow down.• When your vehicle no longer follows thevehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit or when your vehicle or
the vehicle in front
changes its lane.
• When driving on a curve. When the vehicle in
front has changed its
course or lane, if a stationary vehicleappears in front you
r vehicle, the ACC
will not decelerate your vehicle.

There are two ways to cancel the ACC con- trol. By pressing the “CANCEL” switch. By depressing the brake pedal.
When the ACC is canceled, the “SET” indi- cator goes off and the fo
llowing distance indi-
cator turns to the ‘standby’ display. The front vehicle indicator also turns to the ‘standby’ display when a front vehicle is detected. In any of the situations listed below, the ACC control is automatically canceled, a buzzer sounds and a message is
shown in the multi-
information display.
When your vehicle stops. When the ASC is turned off. While ABS, ASC or TCL is activated. When the selector lever is in a position other than “D” or “Ds” position. When the parking brake is engaged. When the ACC system determines that its performance has been degraded, a buzzer will sound and a message will be dis- played in the multi information display.This can occur when • In adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow or sand storms, etc.• Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or ice, adhere to the surface of the radar sensor.• A front vehicle or an oncoming vehicle is splashing water,
snow or dirt.
• Driving on a nonbusy road with a fewvehicles and obstacles in front. • The brake pads are overheating.
NOTE
The set speed indication on the display turns to “---” when the accelerator pedal isdepressed. This indication remains as long asthe pedal is in a depressed position. In certain conditions, th
e braking control and
alarming functions of ACC may not work for a short while after releasing the accelerator pedal.
