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).
CAUTION The system may be malfunctioning. Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop theengine. Restart the engine and check whether the light/display goes out. If they go out, there is no abnormal condition. If they do notgo out or if they turn on frequently, it is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but you should have your vehicle inspectedby an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice as soon as
possible.
To w i n g
CAUTION When towing the vehicle with only the front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the ground, do not place the ignition switch in the “ON” position or do not put the operationmode 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 depends on the transmission type and the vehicle’sdrive configuration. For details, 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 roads that 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 use the brake to control your speed. As a result,the set speed driving is deactivated.CAUTION

N00577700145
When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead isimminent, the FCM will automatically apply moderate braking to warn the driver to apply the brakes immediately.If the FCM judges that the collision is highly unavoidable, it will automatically apply emergency braking to reduce the severity ofthe collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-lision. While the FCM applies emergency braking, a buzzer sounds and “BRAKE!” message isdisplayed in the information screen of the multi-information display. Once the FCM braking has activated, the fol-lowing message will appear on the informa- tion screen of the multi-information display. The FCM braking function operates at the following vehicle speeds:  Against a vehicle: Approximately 3 to 50 mph (5 to 80 km/h).
 Against a pedestrian: Approximately 3 to 40 mph (5 to 65 km/h).  Against a vehicle: Approximately 3 to 112 mph (5 to 180 km/h).  Against a pedestrian: Approximately 3 to 40 mph (5 to 65 km/h).

Refer to “Activestability control” on page 5-84. If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has been stopped by the FCM, a warning buzzer will sound and the brakes activated by theFCM will automatically be released. Apply the brakes as necessary to keep your vehicle stationary. The FCM will not activate and will not provide either warning or braking in cer-tain situations. Some of these include:• When the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position.• When an object other than a vehicle or apedestrian is in front.• When the FCM has detected a problemin the system.
• When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenlycuts in front of your vehicle.
 The FCM may or may not detect a motor- cycle, bicycle or wall depending on the sit-uation. The FCM is not designed to detect these objects. The forward collision warning function and/or the FCM braking function may not activate in certain situations. Some ofthese include:• When a vehicle suddenly appears just infront of your vehicle.• When a vehicle cuts into your path at aclose distance.• When a vehicle ahead is not completelyin your path.• When your vehicle changed lanes, andyour vehicle approached immediately behind the vehicle ahead.• When a vehicle ahead is towing a trailer.• When a vehicle ahead is a truck loaded with freight that protrudes rearward from the cargo bed.• When the height of a vehicle ahead isextremely low or its road clearance is extremely high.• When a vehicle ahead is extremely dirty.• When a vehicle ahead is covered withsnow.• When a vehicle ahead has a large glasssurface.WA R N I N G
