“ASC OFF” switch
E00619201581
The ASC is automatically activated when the
operation mode is put in ON. You can deacti-
vate the system by pressing down the “ASC
OFF” switch for 3 seconds or longer.
When the ASC is deactivated, the
display/
indicator will turn on. To reactivate the ASC, momentarily press the “ASC OFF” switch;
the
indicator is turned off.
CAUTIONl For safety reasons, the “ASC OFF” switch
should be operated when your vehicle is stopped.
l Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in
normal circumstances.
l In case you turn off the ASC to move out
from mud or sand etc., press the “ASC OFF” switch to activate the ASC quickly aftermoving out, and do not turn off the ASC un-
less it is necessary.CAUTIONl If 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 OFF indicator
E00619301638
-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.

NOTElThe 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

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*
E00609102281
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.

WARNINGlAlthough the set speed driving will be de-
activated when shifting to the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position, never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position
while driving.
You would have no regenerative brake and could cause a serious accident.CAUTIONl When the set speed driving is deactivated
automatically in any situation other thanthose listed above, there may be a system
malfunction.
Press the CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF switch to turn off the cruise control and have your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.NOTEl You cannot operate the regenerative brake
while the adaptive cruise control system(ACC) is operating.
l If you perform the following operation, the
buzzer may sound and the select position may automatically shift to “N” position.
• The electrical parking switch is pressed
during driving.
• The selector lever is shifted to “R” during
driving forward.
• The selector lever is shifted to “D” during
driving backward.NOTE• The selector lever is shifted to “B” when
the select position is in “R”.To resume the set speed
E00609801858
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*
E00633201093
The Speed Limiter is a driver assist functionto 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.
Speed Limiter*
7-38OGGE16E1Starting and driving7

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

There are 3 control states as below. LIMIT OFF
When the Speed Limiter is in
STANDBY, the vehicle speed can ex- ceed the set speed
LIMIT
When the Speed Limiter is in opera-
tion. The vehicle is controlled in order not to exceed the set speed.
OVER LIMIT
When the vehicle speed is exceeding
the set speed by more than about
3 km/h (2 mph)
B- SPEED LIMITER ON indication
When the Speed Limiter is started up, the Speed Limiter’s symbol appears.
C- Set speed
Set speed appears if it is stored.To start up
E00633501025
First of all, press the ON/OFF switch in order to power up the Speed Limiter when the op-

The Speed Limiter indication will be ap- peared in the combination meter.
To activate
E00633601055
Accelerate or decelerate to your desired
speed, and push down the SET - switch (B).
the Speed Limiter memorizes the current ve- hicle speed when you release the SET -
switch (B). Now, the Speed Limiter starts controlling in order not to exceed the set speed.
If the current vehicle speed is lower than
about 30 km/h (19 mph) (settable minimum
speed), the set speed is set at about 30 km/h
(19 mph).
The set speed is displayed in the combination meter.
And, control state “LIMIT” is displayed in
the combination meter.
To increase the set speed
E00633700017
By using the RES + switch
E00633801044
Push up the RES + switch continuously.

Then the set speed displayed in the combina- tion meter is gradually increased.
