ACC power auto-cutout function
E00620300107
After about 30 minutes has elapsed with the igni-
tion switch in the “ACC” position, the function au-
tomatically cuts out the power for the audio system
and other electric devices that can be operated with
that position.
When the ignition switch is turned from the “ACC”
position, the power is supplied again to those devi-
ces.
NOTE
l
It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• The time until the power cuts out can be
changed to approximately 60 minutes.
• The ACC power auto-cutout function can
be deactivated.
For details, we recommend you to con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
On vehicles equipped with MITSUBISHI
Multi-Communication System (MMCS),
screen operations can be used to make
the adjustment.
Refer to the separate owner’s manual for
details.
