The Active stability
control (ASC) takes
overall control of the
anti-lock braking sys-
tem, traction control function and skid control function to help maintain the vehicle’s controland traction. Please read
this section in con-
junction with the page on the anti-lock brak- ing system, traction control function and skidcontrol function. Anti-lock braking system

On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the drive wheels from spin- ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle tostart moving from a stopp
ed condition.
It also
provides sufficient driv
ing force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while press-ing the acceleration pedal.
N00559300019
The skid control function is designed to helpthe driver maintain control of the vehicle on slippery roads or during rapid steering
CAUTION If the warning display appears while the engine is running, have
the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice as soon as
possible. It may become harder to turn thesteering wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has
limits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accident
s. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This means taking into account the traffic, road and envi- ronmental conditions. Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire on all four
wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly. Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop functioning properly.NOTE
 An operation noise may be emitted from the engine compartment in the following situa-tions. The sound is associated with checkingthe operations of the ASC. At this time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. These do not
indicate a malfunc-
tion. • When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is turned on.
 When the ASC is acti
vated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicl
e body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the engine compartment.This indicates that th
e system is operating
normally. It does not i
ndicate a malfunction.
 When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

The ASC is automatically activated when theignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion. You can deactivate
the system by press-
ing down the “ASC OFF” switch for 3seconds or longer. When the ASC is deactivated, the indica- tor will turn on. To reactivate the ASC, momentarily press the “ASC OFF” switch; the indicator is turned off.
N00559501223
NOTE
 The skid control func
tion operates
at speeds
of about 9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.
ASC OFF switch
CAUTION For safety reasons, the “ASC OFF” switch should be operated when your vehicle isstopped.  Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in normal circumstances.NOTE
 Using the “ASC OFF” switch turns off both the stability control f
unction and the traction
control function.  When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not allow the engine speed to increase. In suchsituations, temporarily turning off ASC with the “ASC OFF” switch will make it easier to move out your vehicle.  If you continue to press the “ASC OFF” switch after the ASC is turned off, the “mis-taken operation
protection function” will
activate and
the ASC will turn back on.

ASC OFF indicator This indicator will turn on when the ASC is turned off with the “ASCOFF” switch.
CAUTION When display/indicator blinks, ASC is operating, which means th
at the road is slip-
pery or that your vehicle’s wheels are begin- ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower. If the temperature in the braking system con- tinues to increase due
to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the indicator will blink. To prevent the brake system from overheating, the brake control of the traction control
function will be tem-
porarily suspended. Th
e engine control of
the traction control
function and normal
brake operation will not be affected. Park your vehicle in a safe place. When thetemperature in the braking system has come down, the indicator will be turned off and the traction control function will start operat- ing again.

Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at speeds from about 25 mph (40 km/h). Cruise cont
rol does not work at
speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE
 The indicator may come on when you start the engine. This means that the battery voltage momentarily dropped when theengine was started. It
does not indicate a
malfunction, provided th
at the display goes
out immediately.  When a spare tire has been put on your vehi- cle, the gripping ability of the tire will be lower, making it more
likely that the dis-
play/indicator will blink.

CAUTION If the 2WD vehicle is
towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” pos
ition or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the ground, the ASC may operate, resulting in an acci-dent. When towing the 2WD vehicle with the front wheels raised, ke
ep the ignition switch
in the “OFF”, “LOCK”
or “ACC” position or
the operation mode in ACC or OFF. Whentowing the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “ACC” position or the operation mode in ACC.Refer to “Towing” on page 8-14.

CAUTION When you do not wish to drive at a set speed, turn off the cruise control for safety. 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.NOTE
 Cruise control may not
be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.  Your speed may decr
ease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you want to stay at your set speed.  Your speed may increase to more than the set speed on a steep downhill. You have to use the brake to control your speed. As a result,the set speed driving is deactivated.

The set speed driving is deactivated automati- cally in any of th
e following ways.
 When your speed slows to about 10 mph (15 km/h) or more below the set speed because of a hill, etc.  When your speed slows to about 25 mph (40 km/h) or less.  When the active stability control (ASC) starts operating. (if so equipped)Refer to “Active stab
ility control (ASC)”
on page 5-94.
Also, the set speed driving may be deacti- vated as follow:  When the engine speed rises and approaches the tachometer’s red zone (the red-coloured part of the tachometer dial).
N00518901345
If the set speed driving is deactivated by thecondition described in “To deactivate” on page 5-99, 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)
Under either of the following conditions, however, using the switch does not allow youto resume the previously set speed. In these situations, repeat the speed setting procedure:  The CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF switch is pressed. The operation mode is put in OFF.  Indicator go off.
N00576800048
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
WA R N I N GAlthough the set sp
eed 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 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 have
your vehicle inspected

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.

While the ACC is turned on, indicators for the ACC are shown in the multi information display.
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.
