ASC OFF switch
CAUTION For safety reasons, the ASC OFF switch should be operated when your vehicle isstopped. Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in normal circumstances.
NOTE
Using the ASC OFF switch turns off both the stability control function and the traction control function. When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not allow the engine speed to increase. In such situations, temporarily turning off ASC withthe ASC OFF switch will make it easier to move out your vehicle. If you continue to press the ASC OFF switch after the ASC is turned off, the “mistaken operation protection function” will activateand the ASC will turn back on.
ASC operation display or ASC OFF indicator
-
ASC operation display/ASC indicator The display/indicator will blink whenthe ASC is operating.
-
ASC OFF indicator This indicator will turn on when theASC is turned off with the ASC OFF switch.
CAUTION When display/indicator blinks, ASC is operating, which means that the road is slip- pery or that your vehicle’s wheels are begin- ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower. If the temperature in the braking system con- tinues to increase due to continuous brake control on a slippery road surface, the indicator will blink. To prevent the brake system from overheat- ing, the brake control of the traction controlfunction will be temporarily suspended. The engine control of the traction control function and normal brake operation will notbe affected. Park your vehicle in a safe place. When the temperature in the braking system has come down, the indicator will be turned off and the traction control f
unction will start operat-
ing again.NOTE
The indicator may come on when you start the engine. This means that the battery voltage momentarily dropped when the engine was started. It does not indicate a malfunction, provided that the display goesout immediately.

Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at speeds from approximately 20 mph (30 km/h). Cruise control does not work at speeds below approximately 20 mph(30 km/h).
When a spare tire has been put on your vehi- cle, the gripping abilit
y of the tire will be
lower, making it more likely that the dis- play/indicator will blink.

CAUTION If the 2WD vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the “ON” position or the operation mode in ON and only the front wheels oronly the rear wheels raised off the ground, the ASC may operate, resulting in an acci- dent. When towing the 2WD vehicle with thefront wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “OFF” or “ACC” position or the oper- ation mode in ACC or OFF. When towing the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “ACC” position orthe operation mode in ACC. Refer to “Towing” on page 8-11.
Cruise control
CAUTION 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 roadsthat are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet, slippery, on a steep downhill slope.NOTE
Cruise control may not be able to keep your speed on uphills or downhills. Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill. You may use the accelerator pedal if you want to stay at your set speed. Your speed may increase to more than the set speed on a steep downhill. You have to usethe brake to control your speed. As a result, the set speed driving is deactivated.

The set speed driving is deactivated automati- cally in any of the following ways. When your speed slows to approximately 10 mph (15 km/h) or more below the set speed because of a hill, etc. When your speed slows to approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or less. When the active stability control (ASC) starts operating. Refer to “Active stability control (ASC)” on page 5-79.
Also, the set speed driving may be deacti- vated as follow: When the engine speed rises and approaches the tachometer’s red zone (the red-colored part of the tachometer dial).
N00518901420
If the set speed driving is deactivated by thecondition described in “To deactivate” onpage 5-85, you can resume the previously set speed by push up the “RES +” switch while driving at a speed of approximately 20 mph(30 km/h) or higher. The “SET” indicator appears on the informa- tion screen of the multi-information display.
Under either of the following conditions, however, using the switch does not allow you to resume the previously set speed. In thesesituations, repeat the speed setting procedure: The CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF switch is pressed. The ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position or the operation mode is put in OFF. Indicator go off.
WA R N I N GAlthough the set speed driving will be deactivated when shifting to the “N”(NEUTRAL) 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.
CAUTION When the set speed driving is deactivated automatically in any situation other than those listed above, there may be a system malfunction. Press the CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFFswitch to turn off the cruise control and have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facilityof your choice.

Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC) (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-87

N00576800064
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC) maintains a set speed with no need for you to use the accelerator pedal. Using a sensor (A), the system also measures the relative speedand distance between your vehicle and a vehi- cle in front, and maintains a set following dis- tance between your vehicle and the vehicle infront by automatically decelerating your vehi-cle if it becomes too close to the vehicle in front. The cruising set speed can be set from 20 to110 mph (30 to 180 km/h). The distance can be selected from four levels. If the vehicle in front decelerates, the ACCwill automatically apply limited braking to maintain the distance, and if the front vehicle then accelerates, the ACC will automaticallyaccelerate your vehicle up to the set speed. If your vehicle is approaching too close to the front vehicle, a buzzer will sound and a warn-ing is shown in the multi-information display. When the ACC detects no vehicle ahead, the set speed will be maintained.Conventional cruise control mode without the distance control can also be selected. Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.

Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)
(if so equipped)
WA R N I N G Before using the ACC, read this entire sec- tion to understand the limitations of this system. Failure to follow instructions could result in an accident. Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is not a collision avoidance system or anautomatic driving system. It is designed to use only limited braking and is never a substitute for your safe and careful driv-ing. Always be ready to apply the brakes manually.

While the ACC system is turned on (in the standby state), if you push down the “SET -” switch when a vehicle in front is detected while your vehicle is stopped and you aredepressing the brake pedal, “HOLD” will appear and the vehicle speed will be set to 20 mph (30 km/h). You can set the speed anywhere from approx- imately 20 to 110 mph (30 to 180 km/h). While a vehicle in front is being detected and your vehicle speed is between approximately0 to 20 mph (0 to 30 km/h), you can activatethe ACC. In this case, the set speed will be set at 20 mph (30 km/h). The ACC cannot otherwise be activated whileyour vehicle is traveling less than 20 mph (30 km/h) or greater than 110 mph (180 km/h).
N00581300038
The speed of your vehicle will be maintainedat the speed you have set. The speed can be set between approximately 20 to 110 mph (30 to 180 km/h).
N00581400042
The ACC will maintain the distance to thefront vehicle and will apply the brakes auto- matically when the system judges braking is necessary. The distance can be selected fromfour levels. When the front vehicle stops, the ACC will automatically apply the brakes to stop yourvehicle. After the vehicle stops, the ACC system auto- matically enters the stationary vehicle holdstate. “HOLD” appears. While the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state, if it is possible to resume following the vehicle in front because it has started moving, “ACC READY TORESUME” will appear on the information screen of the multi-information display. To start moving again, press the “RES+” switchor depress the accelerator pedal.
NOTE
When any of the following conditions are present, the ACC will not activate. • When your vehicle speed is more than 110 mph (180 km/h). • When your vehicle is driven at speeds between approximately 0 to 20 mph (0 to30 km/h) and the ACC is not detecting a vehicle in front. • When ASC is in the OFF position.
• While ABS, ASC or TCL is activated. • When the selector lever is in positions other than “D” (DRIVE). • While the brake pedal is depressed (only while the vehicle is moving). • While the parking brake is applied. • When the ACC system has judged that the performance for detecting a front vehicle is degraded. • When an abnormality in the ACC system has been detected. • When the driver’s seat belt is unfastened. • When the driver’s door is opened.• When the vehicle is stopped on a steep slope.
When ACC detects no vehicle in front within the set distance
NOTE
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed on a down slope, the system will automaticallyapply the brake to maintain the vehicle set speed.NOTE

While the ACC is activat
ed, if your vehicle is
approaching too closely to the vehicle infront, the ACC gives a warning by sounding a buzzer and displaying a message. Apply the brakes to maintain the appropriate distance tothe vehicle in front.
WA R N I N G Never leave your vehicle while the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state. When leaving the vehicle, apply the parking brake and move the selector leverto the “P” (PARK) position.NOTE
When the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state, the stop lights will illumi-nate. While the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state, the vehicle will not start moving again unless you press the “RES+” switch or depress the accelerator pedal. When depressing the brake pedal while the automatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to apply greater braking force. During the automatic braking, operation sounds may be heard. This is normal. If the turn-signal lever is operated while the ACC is active, the system may accelerate the vehicle to assist you in passing a vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front starts moving within 2 seconds after stopping, your vehicle will start moving.WA R N I N G Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set speed in the following situations. Apply the brake, if necessary, to slow down.• When your vehicle no longer follows thevehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit or when your vehicle or the vehicle in frontchanges its lane.NOTE
• When driving on a curve. When the vehicle in front has changed its course or lane, if a stationary vehicle appears in front your vehicle, the ACC will not decelerate your vehicle.
