l
When the brake assist system is in use, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is
soft, the pedal moves in small motions in
conjunction with the sound of the ABS oper-
ation, or the vehicle body and the steering
wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does
not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
firmly depress the brake pedal.
l
You may hear an operation noise when the
brake pedal is suddenly or fully depressed
while stationary. This does not indicate a
malfunction and the brake assist system is
operating normally.
Power steering system
E00607400417
The power steering system operates while the en-
gine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to
turn the steering wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical steering
capability in case the power assist is lost. If the
power assist is lost for some reason, you will still
be able to steer your vehicle, but you will notice it
takes much more effort to steer. If this happens,
have your vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
WARNING
l
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.
CAUTION
l
Do not leave the steering wheel turned all
the way in one direction. This can cause
damage to the power steering system.
Cruise control*
E00609101170
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system
that keeps a set speed. It can be activated at speeds
from about 40 km/h (25 mph) up to about
200 km/h (124 mph).
CAUTION
l
When you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safe-
ty.
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 M/T, do not move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion while driving at a set speed without
depressing the clutch pedal. 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.
