To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The CVT will automatically downshift.
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be left in selector leverposition and held stationary with the service brake. For longer waiting periods with the enginerunning, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle stationarywith the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure that the selector lever is in“D” (DRIVE) position or Sports mode posi- tion.
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com- plete stop, firmly apply the parking brake,and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If the CVT does not shift while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speedwhen starting on an uphill slope, it may be that there is something unusual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device toactivate. Immediately have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause pre- mature wear of brake pads. Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi- tions.Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position {“D” (DRIVE) position or sports mode} or coast forward in the “R”(REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and steering effort could lead to an accident. Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary.This can damage the CVT. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with theselector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation withthe selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration
CAUTION
NOTE
In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
Waiting
CAUTION To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the accelerator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or service brake. Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler-ation may occur if the selector lever is in a position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
Parking When the CVT makes no speed change
NOTE
When the warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-information display, there could be
a malfunction in the
CVT. Refer to “Continuously variable trans-mission (CVT): Warning display” on page 5-66.

Carefully wash the vehicle with water. Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal in order to dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do notfunction properly, co
ntact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil- ity of your choice as soon as possible tohave the brakes checked. Remove the insects, dried grass, etc. clog- ging the radiator core. After driving through water, check the engine, transaxle and differential oil. If the oil or grease is milky or cloudy because of water contamination, it mustbe replaced with new oil. Check the inside of the vehicle. If water entry is found, dry the carpet etc. Inspect the headlights. If water is in the headlight housing, have it drained at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice.

Since the driving torque can be applied to thefour wheels, the driving performance of the
vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the condition of the tires. Pay close attention to the tires. Install only the specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-7. Be sure all four tires and wheels are the same size and type. When it is necessary to replace any of thetires or wheels, replace all four. All tires should be rotated before the wear difference between the front and rear tires is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a difference in wear between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on page 9-17. Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
Cautions on the handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles Tires and wheels
CAUTION Always use tires of the same size, type, and brand that have no wear differences. Using tires of different size, type, brands or degree of wear, will increase the differential oil tem- perature and result in possible damage to thedriving system. Further, the drive train will be subject to excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, orother serious failures.
To w i n g
CAUTION Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in damage to the drivetra
in, or unstable towing.
If you tow 4-wheel dr
ive vehicles, use Type
C or Type D equipment. Even in “AUTO” drive mode, the vehicle cannot be towed with the front or the rear wheels on the ground.

N00568401172
The power steering system operates while the engine is running. It helps reduce the effortneeded to turn the steering wheel. The power steering system has mechanical steering capability in case the power assist islost. 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 moreeffort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi-cle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Warning light Warning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning light will come on and the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-information display.Under normal conditions, the warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode isput in ON, and goes off after the engine has started.

WA R N I N G Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn,possibly resulting in an accident.
NOTE
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 acti- vated to prevent overheating of the powersteering 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 effort will return to normal. If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi- cle is stationary with the headlights on, theheadlights may become dim. This behavior is not abnormal. The headlights will return to their original brightness after a short while.

Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC) (if so equipped) 5-92 Features and controls
5
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.

When the ACC no longer detects a vehicle in front, the buzzer will sound, the vehicle sym- bol in the display will disappear and your vehicle will slowly accelerate to the setspeed.
N00576900052
While the ACC is activated, if your vehicle isapproaching 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.

Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM) (if so equipped)
5-104 Features and controls
5
N00577300125
The Forward Collision Mitigation system
(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of a
collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian
straight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM uses
a sensor (A) to determine the distance and
relative speed to a vehicle and a pedestrian in
front. The FCM is not designed as an auto-
matic driving system or as a collision avoid-
ance system.
When your vehicle is approaching a vehicle
or a pedestrian straight-ahead in your path
and the FCM judges that there is the risk of a
collision, the system will give audible and
visual warnings.
When the FCM judges that a collision with
the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is
imminent, the system will automatically
apply moderate braking to warn you to apply
the brakes immediately.
When the FCM judges that a collision with
the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is
highly unavoidable, the system will apply
emergency braking to reduce the severity of
the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-
lision. Stop lights are illuminated during automatic
braking.Forward Collision Mitiga-

• If windshield wipers are not Mitsubishi Motors Genuine parts or equivalent. • When the sensor becomes extremely hot or cold.• If the battery becomes weak or runsdown.• When the sensor is affected by stronglight, such as direct sunlight or the head-lights of an oncoming vehicle.
The FCM may not detect a pedestrian in certain situations. Some of these include:• If the pedestrian is shorter than approxi-mately 3.2 feet (1 m) or taller than approximately 6.5 feet (2 m).• If the pedestrian is wearing loose-fittingclothes.• If part of a pedestrian’s body is hidden,such as when holding an umbrella, large bag, etc.• If a pedestrian bends forward, sits or lieson the road.• When a pedestrian is pushing/pullingsomething, such as a stroller, bicycle orwheelchair.• When pedestrians gather in a group.• When a pedestrian clothing appears tobe nearly the same color or brightness as its surroundings.• When a pedestrian is very close to anobject, such as a vehicle.• When a pedestrian is in a dark area, suchas at night or in a tunnel.WA R N I N G
• When a pedestrian is walking fast orrunning.• When a pedestrian suddenly rushes in front of the vehicle.• When the position of a pedestrian is closeto the edge of the vehicle.
When the system recognizes driver’s steering or accelerating actions as evasiveactions to avoid a collision, FCM control and alarm functions may be canceled. In certain situations, though there is little or no risk of a collision, the FCM may activate. Examples include: • When overtaking a vehicle.• When driving on a curve.• When there is a road side object (B) thatreflects the radar sensor signal, such as a road sign.• When approaching a gate, a railroad crossing, an underpass, a narrow bridge, manhole lid or a speed bump.• When driving under an overpass orpedestrian bridge.• When driving in a narrow tunnel.• When driving in a parking structure.WA R N I N G
