Auto-Speed (Cruise) Control - Mitsubishi Electric GRANDIS OXPE10E1 Owner's Manual

CAUTION
l
If continuous brake control (on a slippery
surface, for example) causes the tempera-
ture of the braking system to increase ex-
cessively, the traction control function
(working by controlling the brake on
each wheel) will be suspended to protect
the braking system. [The traction control
function (working by controlling the en-
gine output) will operate. Normal opera-
tion of the vehicle will not be affected.] At
this time, the indication lamp will
blink to inform the driver that the trac-
tion control function (working by control-
ling the brake on each wheel) is suspen-
ded. If the vehicle is stopped and the
indication lamp goes off, the traction con-
trol function (working by controlling the
brake on each wheel) will start operating
again.
l If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the "ON" position and only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels
raised off the ground, the traction control
function may operate, resulting in an acci-
dent. When towing the vehicle with the
front wheels raised, keep the ignition
switch in the "LOCK" or "ACC" posi-
tion. When towing the vehicle with the
rear wheels raised, keep the ignition
switch in the "ACC" position.
Refer to "Towing" on page 6-14.
