Changing the operation mode
E00312200133
If you press the engine switch without de-
pressing the brake pedal ( A/T or CVT ) or the
clutch pedal ( M/T), you can change the oper-
ation mode in the order of OFF, ACC, ON, OFF.CAUTIONl When the engine is not running, put the op-
eration mode in OFF. Leaving the operation mode in ON or ACC for a long time when
the engine is not running may cause the bat- tery to be discharged, making it impossible
to start the engine, lock and unlock the steer- ing wheel.CAUTIONl When the battery is disconnected, the cur-
rent operation mode is memorized. After re-
connecting the battery, the memorized mode is selected automatically. Before disconnect-ing the battery for repair or replacement,
make sure to put the operation mode in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which opera-
tion mode the vehicle is in when the battery
is run down.
l The operation mode cannot be changed from
OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless operation
key is not detected to be in the vehicle. Refer
to “Keyless operation system: Operating range for starting the engine and changing
the operation mode” on page 3-10.ACC power auto-cutout func-
tion
E00312300088
After approximately 30 minutes has elapsed
with the operation mode in ACC, the func- tion automatically cuts out the power for the
audio system and other electric devices that
can be operated with that mode.
When the engine switch is pressed while the operation mode is in ACC, the power is sup-
plied again to those devices.
NOTEl It is possible to modify functions as follows:NOTE•
The time until the power cuts out can be
changed to approximately 60 minutes.
• The ACC power auto-cutout function can
be deactivated.

Turbocharger
The turbocharger increases engine power by
pushing large amounts of air into the engine’s
cylinders. The finned parts inside the turbo-
charger turn at extremely high speeds and are subjected to extremely high temperatures. They are lubricated and cooled by engine oil.
If the engine oil is not replaced at the speci-
fied intervals, the bearings may seize or emit abnormal noise.

Auto Stop & Go (AS&G)
system* E00627401133
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system auto- matically stops and restarts the engine with- out operating the ignition switch or the en-gine switch when the vehicle is stopped, such
as at a traffic light or in a traffic jam, to re- duce exhaust gases and increase fuel efficien- cy.CAUTIONl If the vehicle will be stopped for a long time
or if you will leave the vehicle unattended,
turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion and press the engine switch to stop the
engine.NOTEl If the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system does
not operate or it operates less frequently, the battery capacity may have decreased. Have
your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.Automatically stopping the en-
gine
E00627501323
The AS&G system is automatically activated
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON.
You can deactivate the system by pressing the “AS&G OFF” switch.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-22. 1. Stop the vehicle.
While depressing the brake pedal, fullydepress the clutch pedal and place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion.

The shift pattern is shown on the gearshiftlever knob. To start off, depress the clutch
pedal all the way down and shift into 1 st
or
“R” (Reverse) position. Then gradually re- lease the clutch pedal while depressing the
accelerator pedal.
Vehicles with 5M/TVehicles with 6M/T
CAUTIONl Do not put the gearshift lever into the re-
verse position while the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so could damage the trans-mission.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature clutch wear or damage.CAUTIONl Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position.
l Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest,
because this can result in premature wear ofthe transmission shift forks.NOTEl During cold weather, shifting may be diffi-
cult until the transmission lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harmful
to the transmission.
l If it is hard to shift into 1 st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-
ier to make.
l The gearshift indicator (if so equipped)
shows recommended gearshift points for
fuel-efficient driving. It shows a “
” when
an upshift is recommended, and it shows a
“
” when a downshift is recommended.

Vehicles equipped with 5M/T
To shift into the “R” (Reverse) position from
5 th
gear, move the gearshift lever to the “N”
(Neutral) position, and then move it to the “R” (Reverse) position.
Vehicles equipped with 6M/T
Pull up the pull-ring (A), then move the gear-
shift lever to the “R” (Reverse) position with the pull-ring still pulled.

To temporarily decrease the
speed
Depress the brake pedal to decrease the speed. To return to the previously set speed,
push up the RES + switch (C).
Refer to “To resume the set speed” on page
6-59.
To deactivate
E00609701437
The set speed driving can be deactivated as follows:
l Press the CRUISE CONTROL 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 Control
(ASC) starts operating. (if so equipped)
Refer to “Active stability control (ASC)”
on page 6-51.
WARNINGl On vehicles equipped with
A/T, CVT, al-
though the set speed driving will be deac-
tivated when shifting to the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) 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 than those listed above, there may be a systemmalfunction.
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.

Operating hints
l To prevent the clutch from slipping (Ve-
hicle with a M/T only), do not rev the
engine more than is required when start- ing off.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration. It is also recommended that you obey the local regulations in case driving
speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
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 shift point before de- scending a slope.
Additional precautions for vehi- cles equipped with an A/T or
CVT
It is recommended the “D” position on slopes
or at low speed.
Use the 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 shift posi- tion.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should
overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro- ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant
level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.
