Cruise control*
E00609100779
Cruise control is an automatic
speed control system
that keeps a set speed. It can be activated at about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more. CAUTION
l
When you do not
wish
to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
l Do not use cruise control when driving
conditions 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 down-
hill slope.
l On vehicles with manual transmission, do
not move the gearshift lever to the “N”
(Neutral) position while driving at a set
speed without depressing the clutch ped-
al. The engine will run too fast and might
be damaged.
NOTE l Cruise
control may not be

able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.
l Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.
l Your speed may increase to more than the
set speed on a steep downhill. You must use
the brake to control your speed. As a result,
the set speed driving is deactivated. Cruise control switches
E00624100103 A- “ON OFF” switch
Used to turn on and off the cruise control.

B- “COAST SET” switch
Used to reduce the
set

speed and to set the desired
speed.

C- “ACC RES” switch
Used to increase the set speed and to return to the
original set speed.

D- “CANCEL” switch
Used to deactivate the set speed driving.
NOTE
l When operating the cruise control switches,

To deactivate
E00609701088
The set speed driving can
be deactivated as follows:
l Press the “ON OFF” switch (A). (Cruise con-
trol will be turned off.)
l Press the “CANCEL” switch (D).
l Depress the brake pedal. The set speed driving is deactivated automatically
in any of the following ways.
l When you depress the

pedal (on vehi-
cles with M/T).
l When your speed slows to about 15 km/h
(9 mph) or more below the set speed because
of a hill, etc.
l When your speed slows to about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or less.
l When the active stability & traction control
(ASTC) starts operating. (if so equipped)
Refer to “Active Stability & Traction Con-
trol (ASTC)” on page 4-47. WARNING
l On vehicles with A/T, although,
the set
speed driving will be deactivated when
shifting to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position,
never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving.
You would have no engine braking and
could cause a serious accident.
Also, the set speed driving may be deactivated as
follows: l When
the engine
speed rises

and approaches
the tachometer's red zone (the red-coloured
part of the tachometer dial). CAUTION
l
When the set speed driving
is deactivated
automatically in any situation other than
those listed above, there may be a system
malfunction.
Press the “ON-OFF” switch to turn off
the cruise control and have it inspected
by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point. To resume the set speed
E00609800561
If the set speed driving

is deactivated by the condi-
tion described in “To deactivate” on page 4-53,
you can resume the previously set speed by press-
ing the “ACC RES” switch (C) while driving at a
speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) 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:
l The “ON OFF” switch is pressed.
l The ignition switch is turned OFF.
l “CRUISE” indication lamp is turned OFF. Starting and driving

Cargo loads
E00609901123
Cargo loads precautions CAUTION
l
When
loading
luggage, be
careful to the
following. • Stow cargo and luggage in the cargoarea whenever possible.
• Distribute cargo or luggage evenly not to be unbalanced in weight.
• Do not place cargo or luggage on the instrument panel.
Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage
on the front passenger’s seat or the
rear seat.
Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside
the cabin if you suddenly have to
brake can cause a serious accident or
injury. Trailer towing (Except for
vehicles for Morocco) E00610000521
In order to tow a

trailer with your vehicle, when hav-
ing a trailer towing device mounted that meets all
relevant regulations in your area, consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
The regulations concerning the towing of a trailer
may differ from country to country. You are ad-
vised to obey the regulations in each area. CAUTION
l
Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should
be

fitted according
to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.
NOTE l If
you are going to

tow a trailer, pay careful
attention to the following points.
Maximum towable weight with brake
and maximum trailer-nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight with
brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as lis-
ted in the specifications. (Refer to “Vehicle
weight” on page 9-10.)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight by
10 % of the gross combination weight for every in-
crease of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine out-
put is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric
pressure. Towing bar mounting specifications
See
the following table
for

fixing points (A) for the
towing bar.

l The
values under item 7,

plicable to unladen vehicles. These values
can also be varied depending on the tyre size,
optional equipment and suspension condi-
tions. Operating hints
l Do
not let the
clutch
slip (vehicles with a M/
a only) and do not increase the engine speed
more than necessary when starting.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed the maximum speed for trailer operation.
l To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, de-
press the brake pedal lightly at first and then
more strongly. l
To make full use
of engine braking, change
to a lower gear before descending a slope.
l The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis will be
under additional strain when towing a trailer.
l The heavier weight and higher rolling and air
resistance will increase fuel consumption. Starting and driving

Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with
an automatic transmission
It is recommended the “2”
(SECOND) position
(4A/T) or 2 nd
gear in sports mode (5A/T) on slopes
or at low speed. Use the “L” (LOW) position
(4A/T) or 1 st
gear in sports mode (5A/T) in moun-
tainous areas in order to make better use of engine
braking and to assist the brake system. However,
be sure that the speed does not exceed the maxi-
mum speed limit for the selected gear. Starting and driving
