CAUTION Before driving, be sure that the parking brake is fully released and brake warninglight is off.If you drive without the parking brake fully released, the warning lamp will illuminate and a buzzer sounds when the vehicle speedexceeds 5 mph (8 km/h). If a vehicle is driven
without releasing the
parking brake, the brak
es will be overheated,
resulting in ineffectiv
e braking and possible
brake failure.

N00546600119
If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys- tem, the following indicator will turn on.
N00546300031
N00518300573
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 turn on when you start the engine. This means
that the battery volt-
age momentarily dropped when the enginewas started. It does not
indicate a malfunc-
tion, provided that
the display goes out
immediately.  When a compact spare tire has been put on your vehicle, the grippi
ng ability of the tire
will be lower, making it
more likely that the
indicator will blink.

abnormal condition. If
they do not go out or
appear frequently, it is
not necessary to stop
the vehicle imme
diately, but you should have
your vehicle inspected by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.

CAUTION When towing the vehicle with only the front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off theground, do not place th
e ignition switch in
the “ON” position or
do not put the operation
mode in ON. Placing
the ignition switch in
the “ON” position or
putting the operation
mode in ON could cause the ASC to operate, resulting in an accident.Note that the correct towing method dependson the transmission type
and the vehicle’s
drive configuration. For details, refer to
“Towing” on page 8-12.
Cruise control
(if so equipped)
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. On vehicles equipped
with manual transaxle,
do not move the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position whil
e driving at a set
speed without depressi
ng the clutch pedal.
The engine will run too fast and might be damaged.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.

N00629500521
All parts of the brake system are critical to safety. Have the vehicle serviced by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice at regular intervals according to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately
after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally. A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs or brake drums, and prevent normal braking after driving in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed.If this occurs, dry the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brak
es less effective.
While driving in such conditions, pay closeattention to surrounding
vehicles and to the
condition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal andcheck how effective the brakes are. It is important to take
advantage of the engine
braking by downshifting while driving on steep downhill roads in order to prevent thebrakes from overheating.
N00629601372
When parking on a hill, set the parking brake,and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill, or away from
the curb on an uphill.
If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels.
Place the gearshift lever into the “R” hill slope, into the 1st position when parking on an uphill slope. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set when parked and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position.When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before
moving the selector
lever to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre-vents loading the parking brake against the transaxle. When this happens, it is difficult to move the selector lever out of the “P” Never leave the engine running while you take a short nap or rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly venti-lated place.
WA R N I N G Never open the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. You could be seriously burned.

Your front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it over curbs or parking stop blocks. Be careful when traveling up or down steepslopes where your bumper can scrape the road. More effort could be required to turn the steering wheel. Refer to “Electric power steering system(EPS)” on page 5-51.
Always carry the key and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. Always try to park your vehicle in a well litarea.

It is very importa
nt to know how much
weight your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight andincludes the weight of
all occupants, cargo,
non-factory-installed options, if any, being towed. The tire and load
ing information plac-
ard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle will show how
much weight it may
properly carry. It is important to fami
liarize yourself with the
following terms before loading your vehicle:
 Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual tire th
at is determined by
distributing to each ax
le its share of the
maximum loaded vehicle weight and dividing by two. Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is
determined by dis-
tributing to each axle its share of the curbweight, accessory
weight, and normal
occupant weight and dividing by two.  Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of - (a) Curb weight;(b) Accessory weight; (c) Vehicle capacity weight; and (d) Production options weight. Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehi- cle with standard equipment including the maximum capacity of
fuel, oil, and cool-
ant.  Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those standard items whichmay be replaced) of automatic transmis- sion, power steering
, power brakes, power
windows, power seats,
radio, and heater,
to the extent that these items are available as factory- installe
d equipment (whether
installed or not). Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
*
times the vehicle’s designated seatingcapacity.
WA R N I N G Leaving the engine ru
nning risks injury or
death from accidentally moving the gear-shift lever (manual transaxle) or the selec-tor lever (CVT) or from the accumulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment.
Where you park
WA R N I N G Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass orleaves can come in
contact with a hot
exhaust, since a fire could occur.
Do not keep the steering wheel fully turned for a long time
When leaving the vehicle Loading information
WA R N I N G Never overload your ve
hicle. Overloading
can damage your vehicl
e, adversely affect
vehicle performance, including handlingand braking, cause tire failure, and result in an accident.
