hicle from moving backwards. It keeps the
braking force for about 2 seconds when you move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
Hill start assist
7-34OGGE17E1Starting and driving7

CAUTIONlDo not overly rely on the hill start assist to
prevent backwards movement of the vehicle. Under certain circumstances, even when hill
start assist is activated, the vehicle may
move backwards if the brake pedal is not sufficiently depressed, if the vehicle is heav-
ily loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery.
l The hill start assist is not designed to keep
the vehicle stopped in place on uphill slopes for more than 2 seconds.
l When facing uphill, do not rely on using the
hill start assist to maintain a stopped position as an alternative to depressing the brake ped-
al.
Doing so could result in an accident.
l Do not turn the operation mode in ACC or
OFF while the hill start assist is operating.
The hill start assist could stop operating, which could result in an accident.To operate
E00628101498

Warning display
The ABS and brake force distribution func-tion may not work, so hard braking could
make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately
and contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
NOTEl The ABS warning lamp and brake warning
lamp illuminate at the same time and the
warning displays appear alternately on the information screen in the multi informationdisplay.After driving on icy roads
E00618800219
After driving on snowy roads, remove any
snow and ice which may have become ad-
hered to the wheel areas.
When doing this, be careful not to damage the wheel speed sensors (A) and cables loca-ted at each wheel on vehicles equipped with an ABS.
Electric power steering
system (EPS) E00629201294
The power steering system operates while thePlug-in Hybrid EV System is operating.
It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-
son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-
cle, but you will notice it takes much more
effort to steer. If this happens, have your ve- hicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.WARNINGl Do not stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys-
tem while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the Plug-in Hybrid EV System would
make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.NOTEl During repeated full-lock turning of the
steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking space), a protection function may be activa-
ted to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering action will return to normal.

NOTE•When the select position is in the “P”
(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE) or the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
• While the brake pedal is being depressed.
• When the parking brake is applied.
• When the system determines that its per-
formance has been degraded due to con-
taminants adhered to the sensor.
• When there is any abnormality in the sys-
tem.
To increase the set speed
There are two ways to increase the set speed.
By using the “RES +” switch:
The set speed increases by 1 km/h (1 mph) every time you push up the “RES +” switch
while the ACC control is working. If you hold the switch pushed up, the set speed in-creases in 5 km/h (3 mph) increments.
NOTEl There is some time lag between the setting
to a new speed and actually accelerating tothat speed.
l Speed setting operation is possible even in
presence of a vehicle in front. In this case, however, the set speed alone increases with-
out actual acceleration taking place.
l When the switch is held pushed, a buzzer
sounds every time the set speed changes.CAUTIONl The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.
By using the accelerator pedal:
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
while driving with the ACC control working,you can accelerate the vehicle temporarily
beyond the presently set speed.
At the point where the vehicle speed is raised
to your desired speed, push down and release
the “SET -” switch; the new speed is then set in the system.CAUTIONl The ACC braking control and proximity
alarm functions will not work while the ac- celerator pedal is depressed.NOTEl The set speed indication on the display turns
to “---” when the accelerator pedal is de- pressed. This indication remains as long as
the pedal is in a depressed position.
l The ACC control at the original set speed re-
sumes as soon as you release the accelerator
pedal. Under certain conditions, however,
the braking control and alarming functions of ACC may not work for a short while afterreleasing the accelerator pedal.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*

lWhen your vehicle stops as the vehicle
in front stops.
l When ASC is turned off.
l When ABS, ASC or TCL is in operation.
l When the select position is in the “P”
(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE) or the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l When the parking brake is applied.
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 using regenerative braking as it
could cause a serious accident.
When the ACC system determines that its
performance has been degraded, a buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed in the multi information display.
This can occur when:
l Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or
ice, adhere to the surface of the sensor.
l There are adverse weather conditions,
such as rain, snow or sand storms, etc.
l A vehicle in front or an oncoming vehi-
cle is splashing water, snow or dirt.
l Driving on a nonbusy road with a few
vehicles and obstacles in front.
l The brake system is overheating due to
continuous brake control on long down- hill road.
If the display keeps showing the message,
there is a possibility that the ACC has a mal-
function. Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
When the ACC system detects an abnormali-
ty in the system, the ACC system will be turned off, a buzzer will sound and a message
will be displayed in the multi information display.
