When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position, the cur-
rently selected control mode is displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
Manual shift
N00540500057
Using the gearshift lever (A) or the sportronic steering wheel
shifters (B), shifting can be performed manually.
Shifting can be performed even while the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
This allows the driver to enjoy sporty driving, such as quick
cornering, by nimbly downshifting to reduce vehicle speed just
before entering a curve.

3 Active stability control (ASC)
N00559100121
The active stability control (ASC) takes overall control of the
anti-lock braking system, traction control function and skid
control function to help maintain the vehicle’s control and trac-
tion. Please read this section in conjunction with the pages on
the anti-lock braking system, traction control function and skid
control function.
Anti-lock braking system → P. 3 - 1 2 3
Traction control function → P. 3 - 1 2 8
Skid control function → P. 3 - 1 2 8
NOTE

An operation noise may be emitted from the engine com-
partment in the following situations. The sound is associ-
ated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this
time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you
depress it. These do not indicate a malfunction.
 When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position.
 When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is
turned on.


When the ASC is activated, you may feel a vibration in
the vehicle body or hear a whining sound from the engine
compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating normally. It
does not indicate a malfunction.


When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illu-
minated, the ASC is not active.
CAUTION
!

Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on
the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has
limits and cannot help you to maintain traction and
control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless
driving can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s
responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking
into account the traffic, road and environmental
conditions.


Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire
on all four wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not
work properly.


Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip differen-
tial (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop func-
tioning properly.

Traction control function
N00559200021
On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the
drive wheels from spinning excessive, thus helping the vehicle
to start moving from a stopped condition. It also provides suffi-
cient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle
turns while pressing the acceleration pedal.Skid control function
N00546800010
The skid control function is designed to help the driver main-
tain control of the vehicle on slippery roads or during rapid
steering maneuvers. It works by controlling the engine output
and the brake on each wheel.NOTE

The skid control function operates at speeds of about
9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.
ASC OFF switch
N00559400166
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the
ASC automatically turns ON. If the ASC OFF switch is
pressed to turn OFF the ASC, the indicator in the meter
comes on. Press the switch again to turn ON the ASC.
CAUTION
!

When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy road, be
sure to install snow tires and drive the vehicle at
moderate speeds.
CAUTION
!

For safety reasons, press the ASC OFF switch when
the vehicle is stopped.


Be sure to turn ON the ASC for normal driving.

To activate
N00518400327
1. With the ignition switch in the “ON” position, press the
“ON OFF” switch (A) to turn on the cruise control. The
“CRUISE” indicator light in the meter cluster will come
on.
NOTE

If the cruise control is on when the ignition switch is
turned to “LOCK” or “ACC” position, cruise control will
be on automatically the next time you start the engine.
The “CRUISE” indicator light will also be on.


If the battery voltage is insufficient, the memory data for
the cruise control may be erased.
As a result, the “CRUISE” indicator light may not come
on when you restart the engine.
If this happens, press the “ON OFF” switch once again to
turn on the cruise control.
2. Confirm that the Twin Clutch SST control mode is set to
“Normal”.
Refer to “Twin Clutch SST control mode” on page 3-102.

To resume the set speed
N00518900234
If the set speed driving is deactivated by the condition
described in “To deactivate” on page 3-139, you can resume
the previously set speed by pressing the “ACC 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
switch does not allow you to resume the previously set speed.
In these situations, repeat the speed setting procedure:

The “ON OFF” switch is pressed.


The ignition switch is turned OFF.


“CRUISE” indicator light is turned OFF.
Tire pressure monitoring system
N00530200295
The tire pressure monitoring system uses tire inflation pressure
sensors (A) on the wheels to monitor the tire inflation pres-
sures. The system only indicates when a tire is significantly
under-inflated.
WA R N I N G
!

The compact spare wheel does not have a tire infla-
tion pressure sensor.
When the spare tire is used, the tire pressure moni-
toring system will not work properly.
See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon
as possible to replace or repair the original tire.

NOTE

The tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for
regularly checking tire inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tire inflation pressures as described in
“Tires” on page 7-19.


Each of the grommets and washers where the tire inflation
pressure sensors are mounted should be replaced with new
ones when the tire is replaced.
For details, contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
Tire pressure monitoring system warning light /
display
N00554800107
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the
tire pressure monitoring system warning light normally illumi-
nates and goes off a few seconds later.
If one or more of the vehicle tires (except for the spare tire) is
significantly under-inflated, however, the warning light will
remain illuminated while the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position.
Refer to “If the warning light illuminates while driving” on
page 3-145 and take the necessary measures.NOTE

In addition, the warning display is displayed on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information display.

NOTE

In addition, the warning display is displayed on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information display.
CAUTION
!

If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
does not illuminate when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position, it means that the tire
pressure monitoring system is not working properly.
Have the system inspected by an authorized Mitsub-
ishi Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.


If a malfunction is detected in the tire pressure mon-
itoring system, the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light will blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. The
warning light will issue further warnings each time
the engine is restarted as long as the malfunction
exists.
Check to see whether the warning light goes off after
few minutes driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no prob-
lem.
However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it
blinks again when the engine is restarted, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. For safety reasons, when the warning light
appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp
turning and high-speed driving.
