parts, etc., shoul
d only be performed
within the limits prescribed by law, and inaccordance with the
guidelines and warn-
ings contained within the documents accompanying this vehicle.Only Mitsubishi Motors approved acces- sories should be fitted to your vehicle. Improper installation of electrical parts could cause a fire. Re
fer to the “Modifica-
tion/alterations to the electrical or fuel systems” section with
in this owner’s man-
ual. Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the vehicle without an
external antenna
may cause electrical system interference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle opera- tion. Tires and wheels whic
h do not meet spec-
ifications must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifi
cations” section for
information regarding wheel and tiresizes.
Due to the large number of accessory and replacement parts provided by different man- ufacturers in the market, it is not always pos- sible for an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer to check whether the attachment or installation of a non-Mitsubishi Motors genu- ine parts affects the driving safety of yourMitsubishi-vehicle.
Installation of accessories
CAUTION Before any electrical or electronic accesso- ries are installed, cons
ult an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer.
Your vehicle is equi
pped with a diagnosis
connector (data link c
onnector) for checking
and servicing the elec
tronic control system.
Mitsubishi Motors does not recommend con- necting a device other than the Scan Tool for inspections and servic
e to this connector
because an unexpected
problem could result.
In addition, malfuncti
ons caused by connect-
ing a device other than the Scan Tool maynot be covere
d under warranty.

There are two ways to increase the set speed. The set speed will increase by 1 mph (1 km/h) every time you push up the “RES +” switch while the ACC is activated. If youhold the switch pushed up, the set speed increases in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments.
When the accelerator
pedal is depressed
while driving with the ACC control working, you can accelerate th
e vehicle beyond the
presently set speed. When the vehicle spee
d reaches your desired
speed, push down and
release the “SET -”

conditions, such as
rain, snow or sand storms, etc.• On steep downslopes.• When the inclination of a road fre-quently changes.• When the approach alarm frequentlysounds.• When your vehicle is towed or is towinganother vehicle.• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna-mometer or free rollers.• When tire inflation pressures are notadequate.• When the temporary spare tire is beingused.• When the radar sensor and/or its sur-rounding area are damaged or deformed.WA R N I N G
CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the ACC:• Always clean the surface of the radar sen- sor.• Avoid impacting the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.• Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor orits surrounding area.• Do not paint the radar sensor.• Do not install a grill guard.• Do not modify the radar sensor or its sur- rounding area.• Always use tires of the same size, sametype, and same brand,

significant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.
To increase the set speed
By using the “RES +” switch:
NOTE
There is some time lag until the vehicle begins accelera
