The Active stability
control (ASC) takes
overall control of the
anti-lock braking sys-
tem, traction control function and skid control function to help maintain the vehicle’s controland traction. Please read

On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the drive wheels from spin- ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle tostart moving from a stopp
ed condition.
It also
provides sufficient driv
ing force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while press-ing the acceleration pedal.
N00559300019
The skid control function is designed to helpthe driver maintain control of the vehicle on slippery roads or during rapid steering
CAUTION If the warning display appears while the engine is running, have
the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice as soon as
possible. It may become harder to turn thesteering wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
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 driv- ing can lead to accident
s. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This means taking into account the traffic, road and envi- ronmental 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 differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop functioning properly.NOTE
 An operation noise may be emitted from the engine compartment in the following situa-tions. The sound is associated with checkingthe 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 malfunc-
tion. • 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 acti
vated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicl
e body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the engine compartment.This indicates that th
e system is operating
normally. It does not i
ndicate a malfunction.
 When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

NOTE
 The skid control func
tion operates
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 accelerator pedal may not allow the engine speed to increase. In suchsituations, temporarily 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
protection function” will
activate and
the ASC will turn back on.

CAUTION When display/indicator blinks, ASC is operating, which means th
at the road is slip-
pery or that your vehicle’s wheels are begin- ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower. If the temperature in the braking system con- tinues to increase due
to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the indicator will blink. To prevent the brake system from overheating, the brake control of the traction control
function will be tem-
porarily suspended. Th
e engine control of
the traction control
function and normal
brake operation will not be affected. Park your vehicle in a safe place. When thetemperature in the braking system has come down, the indicator will be turned off and the traction control function will start operat- ing again.

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 come on when you start the engine. This means that the battery voltage momentarily dropped when theengine was started. It
does not indicate a
malfunction, provided th
at the display goes
out immediately.  When a spare tire has been put on your vehi- cle, the gripping ability of the tire will be lower, making it more
likely that the dis-
play/indicator will blink.

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 roadsthat 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 decr
ease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if youwant to stay at your set speed.  Your speed may increase to more than the set speed on a steep downhill. You have to usethe brake to control your speed. As a result, the set speed driving is deactivated.

N00581300025
The speed of your vehicle will be maintained at the speed you have set. The speed can be set between approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) and 110 mph (180 km/h).
N00581400026
The ACC will maintain the distance to thefront vehicle and will apply the brakes auto-matically when the system judges braking is necessary. The distance
can be selected from
three levels. When the front vehicle stops, the ACC will automatically apply the brakes to stop yourvehicle. A few seconds after your vehicle has stopped, the ACC will release the brakes and yourvehicle will start to move or creep slowly. You must apply the brakes to keep your vehi- cle stationary.
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 set speed.
• While ABS, ASC or TCL is activated. • When the selector leve
r is in positions other
than “D” (DRIVE) and “Ds” (DOWN- SHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING). • While the brake pedal is depressed. • While the parking brake is engaged.• When the ACC system has judged that the performance for detect
ing a front vehicle is
degraded. • When an abnormality
in the ACC system
has been detected.
When ACC detects no vehicle in front within the set distance

NOTE
 If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed on a down slope, the system will automatically apply the brake to main
tain the vehicle set
speed.NOTE
When ACC detects a vehicle in front within the set distance

NOTE
 If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehi
cle has been stopped
by the ACC, a warni
ng buzzer will sound,
the above warning will be shown in the multi information display to alert the driver, and the ACC control will be canceled.  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.

Tire pressure monitoring system 5-116 Features and controls
5
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold andinflated to the inflation pressure recom- mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you shoulddetermine the proper ti
re inflation pressure
for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle hasbeen equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your
tires is significant
ly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell-tale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-nificantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead
to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehi-cle’s handling and stoppi
ng ability. Please
note that the TPMS is
not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s
responsibility to
maintain corre
ct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMSlow tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also
been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indica
tor to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one min- ute and then remain c
ontinuously illuminated.
This sequence will c
ontinue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not
be able to detect or
signal low tire pr
essure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on thevehicle that prevent the TPMS from function- ing properly. Always
check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing one or moretires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function prop- erly.
N00532801511
1. If the tire pressure monitoring systemwarning light illuminates, avoiding hard braking, sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tires to the proper inflation pressure as soon as possible. Adjust the spare tire atthe same time. Refer to “Tires” on page 9-14.

NOTE
 In addition, the warni
ng display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display.  When inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, do not apply excessive force to the valve stem to
avoid breakage.
 After inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, always reinstall the valve cap on thevalve stem. Without the valve cap, di
rt or moisture could
get into the valve, resulting in damage to thetire inflation pressure sensor.  Do not use metal valve caps, which may cause a metal reaction,
resulting in corrosion
and damage of the tire
inflation pressure sen-
sors.

N00520601323
This light comes on in the event of a malfunc- tion in the charging system or when the igni-tion switch is turned to the “ON” position (engine off) or the operation mode is put in ON. On vehicle equipped with the multiinformation display - Type 1, a warning is also displayed in the multi information dis- play. When the engine is started, the lightshould go out. Check to make sure that the light has gone out before driving.
N00520701278
This light comes on when the engine oil pres- sure is below normal. If the light stays onwhile driving, stop the
engine as soon as pos-
sible. Do not run the engine until the cause of the low oil pressure is corrected.
CAUTION Driving for a long time with the engine mal- function indicator on
may cause more dam-
age to the emission control system. Thiscould also affect fuel economy and drivabil- ity. If this indicator does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion or the operation mode
is put in ON, have
the system checked at an authorized Mitsubi- shi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. If the engine malfuncti
on indicator comes on
while the engine is running, avoid driving athigh speeds. During vehicle operation
with the indicator
on, the vehicle may not
accelerate when you
depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle is stat
ionary with the indi-
cator on, you must depress the brake pedalmore firmly than usual since the engine idling speed is higher than usual and a vehi- cle with an automatic transaxle or CVT has astronger tendency to creep forward.
NOTE
 Do not disconnect the ba
ttery cable when the
engine malfunction i
ndicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Che
ck engine light”) is
on. The engine electronic control module stores critical OBD information (especially exhaustemission data), which ma
y be lost if the bat-
tery cable is disconne
cted while the engine
malfunction indicator is
on. This will make it
difficult to diagnose the cause of future prob- lems.
