:ARN,NGzBefore using the BSW, read this entire
section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident.
z Never rely solely on the BSW system
when changing lanes. The BSW is an aid
only. 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,NGz In certain situations, the BSW may not
detect a vehicle in the detection areas or
the detection may be delayed. Some of these include:

:ARN,NG

When the sensor detects an ap-proaching vehicle
When the indicator (green) appears on the
information screen of the multi-information
display, if a vehicle is approaching your vehi-
cle in the detection area, the BSW lamp in the outside rear-view mirror illuminates.
If the turn-signal lever is operated to the side where 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
is temporarily not available for some reason such as the environmental condition or in-
crease of the sensor temperature. When the warning display does not disappear after waiting for a while, contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.When there are foreign objects
on the sensor
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 thesides 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 appear on the information screen of the multi-information display and the
indicator will be changed from green to
flashing in yellow.
: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,NGzNever 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.Detection areas
The detection area is shown as illustrated.
CAUT,ONz In certain situations, the RCTA may not de-
tect a vehicle in the detection areas. Some of
these situations include:

CAUT,ONzIf the bumper has experienced an impact, the
sensor may have been damaged and the RCTA may not function properly. Have the

position, the RCTA will operate.
CAUT,ONz Within approximately 7 seconds after the ig-
nition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON, a warn- ing message will not appear on the informa-tion screen of the multi-information display
even if the system detects a vehicle ap- proaching your vehicle.NOTEz After the system check screen disappears,
the indicator (green) appears on the infor-
mation screen of the multi-information dis-
play.

If a problem occurs with the system, a visual
warning specific to the type of the problem is given together with an audible alarm.
Too hot or cold sensor
The alarm shown below is displayed if the
system becomes temporarily unavailable due to a too high or low temperature of the sen-
sor.
