The skid control function is designed to helpthe driver maintain control of the vehicle onslippery roads or during rapid steering maneuvers. It works by
controlling the engine

at speeds
of about 9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.
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 f
unction and the traction
control function.
 When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing the ac
celerator pedal may not
allow the engine speed to increase. In suchsituations, temporaril
y turning off ASC with
the “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 “mis-taken operation protec
tion function” will
activate and the ASC will turn back on.

If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys- tem, the following indicator will turn on.
N00546300031
N00518300573
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at speeds from about 25 mph (40 km/h). Cruise cont
rol does not work at
speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE
 The indicator may turn on when you start the engine. This means
that the battery volt-
age momentarily dropped when the enginewas started. It does not
indicate a malfunc-
tion, provided that
the display goes out
immediately.  When a compact spare tire has been put on your vehicle, the grippi
ng ability of the tire
will be lower, making it
more likely that the
indicator will blink.

do not put the operation
mode 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 dependson the transmission type
and the vehicle’s
drive configuration. For details, refer to
“Towing” on page 8-12.
Cruise control
(if so equipped)
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. On vehicles equipped
with manual transaxle,
do not move the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position whil
e driving at a set
speed without depressi
ng the clutch pedal.
The engine will run too fast and might be damaged.NOTE
 Cruise control may not
be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.  Your speed may decr
ease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you want to stay at your set speed.

 When the active stability control (ASC) starts operating.Refer to “Active stab
ility control (ASC)”
on page 5-52.
Also, the set speed driving may be deacti- vated automatically when the engine speed rises and approaches the tachometer’s redzone (the red-colored part of the tachometer dial).
N00518900306
If the set speed driving is deactivated by thecondition described in “To deactivate” on page 5-57, you can resu
me the previously set
speed by pressing the RES + switch (C) while driving at a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or higher. Under either of the
following conditions,
however, using the sw

to resume the previously set speed. In these situations, repeat the
speed setting procedure:
 The CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF switch is pressed.  [Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ] Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or “ACC” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
Put the operation mode in OFF or ACC.  Indicator is turned OFF.
N00530201696
The tire pressure moni
toring system (TPMS)
uses tire inflation pre
ssure sensors (A) on the
wheels to monitor the ti
re inflation pressures.
The system only indicates when a tire is sig- nificantly under-inflated.
WA R N I N G On vehicles equipped with continuously variable transmis
sion (CVT), although the
set speed driving will be deactivated whenshifting to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position,
never move the select
or 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 dr
iving is deactivated
automatically in any
situation other than
those listed above, there may be a systemmalfunction. Press the CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF switch to turn off the
cruise control and have
your vehicle inspecte
d by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice.

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand, or mud, it can often be moved by a rockingmotion. Rock your vehicle back and forth to free it.
Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
CAUTION This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using sling lift
type equipment (Type
A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam- age the bumper and front end.Towing with rear wheels off the ground. Do not tow CVT vehicles with this style. Towing with front wheels off the ground.
 Do not tow continuously variable transmis- sion (CVT) vehicles with the driving wheelson the ground (Type B) as illustrated. If thevehicle is towed like
this, the continuously
variable transmission (CVT) fluid may not reach all parts of the transmission, thus dam-aging it. If you tow CVT vehicles, use Type C, D or E equipment. If the manual transaxl
e is malfunctioning or
damaged, transport the
vehicle with the driv-
ing wheels on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated. If the vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the “ON” pos
ition or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels oronly the rear wheels raised off the ground (Type B or C), the Active Stability Control (ASC) may operate, result
ing in an accident.
When towing the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position or put
the operation mode in
ACC. When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch or the operation mode as follows.[Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ] The ignition switch is
in “OFF” or “ACC”
position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in OFF or ACC.CAUTION
