CAUTIONlWhen
indication lamp blinks, Active Sta-
bility Control function or active traction con-
trol function 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 accelerator input.
l If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys-
tem while driving, the
indication lamp
will illuminate.
In these cases, follow these procedures:
• If the temperature in the braking system
continues to increase due to continuous
brake control on a slippery road surface,
the
indication lamp will blink, and op-
eration of the active traction control func-
tion will be suspended to protect the brake
system. (The engine control of the active traction control function and normal brake
operation will not be affected.) Park your vehicle in a safe place. When the tempera-
ture in the braking system has come
down, the
indication lamp will go off
and the Active Stability Control function and active traction control function willstart operating again.
CAUTION• If the indication lamp does not go out
even though the above procedure is fol-
lowed, there could be a problem in the system.
Stop the engine and start the engine again
and check whether the
indication lamp
goes out. If the indication lamp goes out, there is no abnormal condition.
If the
indication lamp illuminates even
after your vehicle is driven a short dis-
tance after re-starting the engine, we rec-
ommend you to have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
l If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or on- ly the rear wheels raised off the ground, the
ASTC may operate, resulting in an accident.
When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position or the operation
mode in ACC or OFF. When towing the ve-
hicle with the rear wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “ACC” position or theoperation mode in ACC.
Refer to “Towing” on page 8-23.
Trailer Stability Assist
(TSA) E00639500033
The trailer stability assist system helps safelyrunning while towing a trailer by controllingthe braking force of each wheel and enginepower in order to stabilize the motion when
detecting the continuous sway of the vehicle
caused by a trailer.
When the trailer stability assist system oper- ates the brakes, the brake lamp turns on.
About the towing of the trailer, refer to page
6-84.
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)
6-62OKTE18E1Starting and driving6
CAUTIONlDo not over-rely on TSA system.
Due to the slippery road surface, heavy side wind, inappropriate weight and positioning
of luggage, and/or driving at high speed,
TSA system may fail to secure the stability. Always drive appropriately in accordance with the condition of traffic, road surface condition, weather, and the weight and posi-tioning of luggage.
l The trailer stability assist system does not
operate in case as follows:
• When sudden braking and braking while
driving downhill cause an abrupt motion
of the vehicle which makes the vehicle and the trailer form a dogleg shape.
• When a sideslip occurs by sudden steer-
ing.NOTEl When TSA system operates, the vehicle
body may vibrate and the operating sounds
from the engine compartment may be heard.
These motions indicate normal operation of
the system, not abnormal operation.
l TSA system operates when the vehicle speed
is about 55 km/h (34 mph) or higher.
l When TSA system operates, the ASC opera-
tion indication lamp blinks on and off.
l When ASC does not work, TSA system does
not operate.Cruise control*
E00609102395
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at approximately 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 On vehicles with
M/T, do not move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position while driving at a set speed without depress-
ing the clutch pedal. The engine will run too
fast and might be damaged.
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 roadsthat 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.
l 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.Cruise control switches

E00633201110
The Speed Limiter is a driver assist functionto prevent from exceeding the speed set by
driver while engine power 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 or downshift.NOTEl If the clutch pedal
(M/T) is depressed, the
Speed Limiter does not activate.If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed,
control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limit-
er’s symbol will blink in the combination me-
ter.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed af- ter indicated control state “LIMIT” and the
Speed Limiter’s symbol, beep alert will sound a certain period of time.
While running without blinked control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limiter’s symbol, if
you decrease the set speed and vehicle speed is more than set speed, control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limiter’s symbol blinking
starts but beep alert is delayed.
In this case, when vehicle speed keeps ex- ceeding set speed for about 30 seconds after
control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limit- er’s symbol are blinked, beep alert will sound
a certain period of time.
If the vehicle speeds decreases less than set
speeds, control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limiter’s symbol stop blinking. 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.
l If the set speed is too lower based on current
shift position, the Speed Limiter may not
limit the vehicle speed to prevent engine stall.Speed Limiter control switches

Cargo loadsE00609902830
Cargo loads precautionsCAUTIONl When loading luggage, be careful to the fol-
lowing.
• Stow cargo and luggage in the cargo area
whenever possible.
• Distribute cargo or luggage evenly so that
it is not unbalanced.
• Do not place cargo or luggage on the in-
strument panel.
Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage on the front passenger’s seat or the rear seat.
Having the driver’s vision blocked, and
your cargo being thrown inside the cabin if you suddenly have to brake can cause a
serious accident or injury.
Loading a roof carrier
CAUTIONl Use a roof carrier that properly fits your ve-
hicle. Do not load luggage directly onto the
roof.
For installation, refer to the instruction man-
ual accompanying the roof carrier.NOTEl We recommend you to use a
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE roof carrier, since the
brackets to be used have a special shape. For details, we recommend you to consult aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
Roof carrier precaution
CAUTIONl Make sure that the weight of the luggage
does not exceed the allowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this may cause damage to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allowable load on
the roof (the weight of the roof carrier plus
the weight of luggage placed on the roof car- rier).
For the specific value, refer to “Maximum
roof load” on page 11-10CAUTIONl When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and avoid
excessive manoeuvres such as sudden brak- ing or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the carrier
so that its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carri-
er.
The additional weight on the roof could raise
the vehicle’s centre of gravity and affect ve-
hicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency ma- noeuvres could lead to a loss of control and
result in an accident.
l Before driving and after travelling a short
distance, always check the load to make sure
it is securely fastened to the roof carrier.
Check periodically during your travel that the load remains secure.NOTEl To prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.
l Remove the roof carrier before using an au-
tomatic car wash.
