To turn on/off the system
You can switch the system from OFF to ONor ON to OFF if you hold the FCM ON/OFF
switch pressed when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON.
Once the system is turned on, the information
screen of the multi-information display shows the collision alarm timing currently se- lected, and the
indicator on the instrument
cluster goes out.
When you turn off the system, the following message appears on the information screen of
the multi-information display and the
indi-
cator will come on in the instrument cluster.
Cycling the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion or putting the operation mode in ON will
set the FCM back ON.
To change alarm timing
Give a short press to the FCM ON/OFF
switch to change the timing at which the frontal collision alarm is triggered. Every time you press the switch, the alarm timingchanges from three levels (far, middle or
near).
As you make selection, the selected alarm
timing is displayed on the information screen of the multi-information display. Even after
turning off the FCM, turning the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position or putting the
operation mode in OFF, the system retains your last selected alarm timing in memory.
Distance mode: FarDistance mode: MiddleDistance mode: NearCAUT,ONz For the FCM brake prefill, the FCM brake
assist and the FCM braking functions, the function triggering timing cannot be changed.

System problem warning
If there is a malfunction in the system, awarning will appear on the information
screen of the multi-information display de- pending on the situation.
Windscreen is dirty
When the FCM system determines that its
performance has been degraded, the FCM will become inoperative.
This can occur when:
z Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or
ice, adhere to the windscreen of the sen-
sor portion.
z There are adverse weather conditions,
such as rain, snow, sand storms, etc.
z A vehicle in front or an oncoming vehi-
cle is splashing water, snow or dirt.
The following message will appear on the in-
formation screen of the multi-information
display and the
indicator will come on in
the instrument cluster.
When the sensor performance returns, the FCM functions will resume operation.
If the display keeps showing the message,
there is a possibility that the sensor has a
malfunction. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point for in-
spection of the sensor.NOTEz The “CAMERA BLOCKED” message may
temporarily appear on the information
screen when the sensor cannot detect a vehi- cle, a pedestrian or an object within range.
This is not a malfunction. When a vehicle or an object comes within range, the FCM
function will resume and the message will go off.
z The “CAMERA BLOCKED” message may
appear on the information screen when driv-
ing on a nonbusy road with a few vehicles
and obstacles in front.
When the system cannot oper-
ate temporarily
If the system becomes temporarily unavaila-
ble for some reason, the following messagewill appear on the information screen of the
multi-information display, the
indicator
will come on in the instrument cluster and the
FCM will automatically be turned off.
If the display keeps showing the message,
there is a possibility that the FCM has a mal-
function. Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point for inspection of the system.
Sensor is too hot or cold
If the system becomes temporarily unavaila- ble due to the high or low temperature of the
sensor, the following message will appear on the information screen of the multi-informa- tion display, the
indicator will come on in
the instrument cluster and the FCM will auto-
matically be turned off.
After the temperature of the sensor has been
in range, the system will automatically return
to operation.

FCM deactivation due to fault
If the FCM detects a malfunction in the sys-
tem, either one of the following messages
will appear on the information screen of the multi-information display, the
indicator
will come on in the instrument cluster and the
FCM will automatically be turned off.
If the message remains even after the ignition
switch is turned to the “LOCK” position and then turned back to the “ON” position or the
operation mode is put in OFF, and then turned back to “ON”, please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
NOTEz If the sensor or its surrounding area reaches
an extremely high temperature when parking the vehicle under a blazing sun, the “FCMSERVICE REQUIRED” message may ap-
pear.
After the temperature of the sensor or its sur-
rounding area has been in range, if the mes-
sage remains even after restarting the en- gine, please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.Handling of the sensor
The sensor (A) is located inside the wind-
screen as shown in the illustration.
The sensor is shared in the following sys-
tems:

Laser warning labelBlind Spot Warning (BSW)(with Lane Change Assist)*
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving aid system that alerts the driver when another
vehicle, which may not be visible through the outside rear-view mirror, is travelling in the next lane behind your vehicle.
When a vehicle in the next lane is travelling
at the same speed or faster in the detection
areas, the Blind Spot Warning lamp in the corresponding outside rear-view mirror will
illuminate. If the turn-signal lever is operated to the side where the Blind Spot Warning
lamp is illuminated, the Blind Spot Warning
lamp will blink and the system will beep three times to alert the driver.
Depending on the speed of your vehicle, the
BSW system will detect up to approximately 70 m from your vehicle.:ARN,NGz Before using the BSW, read this entire
section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident.:ARN,NGz Never rely solely on the BSW system
when changing lanes. The BSW is an aidonly. It is not a substitute for your safe
and careful driving. Always check visually
behind and all around your vehicle for other vehicles.
The performance of the BSW may vary
depending on driving, traffic and/or road conditions.Detection areas
The BSW uses two sensors (A) located inside
the rear bumper.
The detection areas are shown as illustrated.

:ARN,NGzIn certain situations, the BSW may not
detect a vehicle in the detection areas or
the detection may be delayed. Some of these include:

To operate
When the BSW switch is pressed while theignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON, the
in-
dicator (green) will appear on the information
screen of the multi-information display and the BSW will enter the standby state.
When the BSW switch is pressed again, the
indicator on the information screen of the
multi-information display will then go out and the BSW will turn off.
If you turn the BSW ON/OFF, the Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) also turns ON/OFF at
the same time.
NOTEz After the system check screen disappears,
the indicator (green) appears on the infor-
mation screen of the multi-information dis-
play.
Refer to “Information screen (when the igni- tion switch is turned from the “LOCK” posi-
tion to the “ON” position or the operation mode is changed from OFF to ON)” on page 5-08.
z When the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode is
set to OFF, the selected condition (BSW
ON/OFF) just before setting to OFF is re- tained.
z The BSW operates when all of the following
conditions are met.

If the turn-signal lever is operated to the sidewhere the BSW lamp is illuminated, the
BSW lamp will blink and the system will beep 3 times to alert the driver.NOTEz The BSW lamp in the outside rear-view mir-
ror may come on or blink in the following
conditions.

When the warning display appears, the sensor
cannot detect a vehicle travelling side by side or an approaching vehicle, because foreignobjects, such as dirt, snow or ice, adhere to the bumper surface around the sensor.Remove dirt, freezing or foreign material on
the bumper surface around the sensor. When the warning display does not disappear after having cleaned the sensor, contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA)*
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) is an aid system for backing up. When the RCTA
system detects vehicles approaching from
sides while your vehicle is reversing, the Blind Spot Warning lamps in the outside rear-
view mirrors on both sides will blink and a buzzer will sound to alert the driver. A warn-
ing message will also appear on the informa-
tion screen of the multi-information display.
:ARN,NGz Before using the RCTA, read this entire
section to fully understand the limitations
of this system. Failure to follow instruc-
tions could result in an accident.:ARN,NGz Never rely solely on the RCTA when
backing up. The RCTA is an aid system.
It is not a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always check visually be-
hind and all around your vehicle for other vehicles, persons, animals or obstructions.
The performance of the RCTA may vary depending on driving, traffic and/or sur-rounding conditions.NOTEz The Blind Spot Warning lamps in the outside
rear-view mirrors on both sides will blink, even when only one vehicle is approachingfrom one side.
z If a system problem, etc., is detected after
the RTCA warning message appears on the
information screen in the multi-information display, the information screen may change to another warning message.
