N00592400042
If a problem occurs with the system, a visual warning specific to the type of the problem is given together with an audible alarm. The warnings are combined with the RearCross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system.
N00592700045
When the warning display appears, the BSW does not operate normally because there are some malfunctions in the system or the sen-sor. Have the vehicle inspected at an autho-rized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer as soon as
possible.
N00592800046
When the warning display appears, the sensor is temporarily not available for some reasonsuch as the environmental condition orincrease of the sensor temperature. When the warning display does not disappear after waiting for a while, contact an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer.
• When driving on the entrance and outlet of the tunnel or very near the wall or near the evacuation area inside the tunnel. • When turning a intersection in a town area.• Under adverse weather conditions (rain, snow, sand storm etc.). • When the your vehicle drives with blowing up the water, snow or sand etc. on the road. • When driving near a curb, pot hole and tramline.
 Set the BSW to OFF when towing.  The Blind Spot Warning light in the outside rearview mirror may not look due to strong direct sunlight or the glare from the head-lights of vehicles behind you during night driving.

Parking sensors (Front/Rear) (if so equipped) 5-124 Features and controls

“Normal mode” and “Towing hitch mode” for a vehicle equipped with a towing hitch can be selected.
The detection areas are within approximately 24 inches (60 cm) (A) from the front and cor- ner sensors and 49 inches (125 cm) (B) from the back sensors.
If your vehicle is equipped with a towing hitch and part of the towing hitch is close to the center sensors (e. g. European type towing hitch), the center sensor may detect the tow-ing hitch and the alarm beeps may sound though there is no obstacle behind the vehi- cle. To avoid this detection, the parking sen-sors can be switched to the towing hitch mode. The detection areas are within approximately24 inches (60 cm) (A) from the front and cor-ner sensors, and 49 inches (125 cm) (B) from the back sensors. The system will not detect the areas (C), within approximately 8 inches(20 cm) (D) from the rear bumper.
Detection areas

WA R N I N G The detection areas described below are for reference only. The actual detection areas may vary depending on the shape, size and position of the object beingdetected. Certain objects may not be detected, even if the object is within the detection area described below. Also falsealerts may sound depending on the sur- rounding environment.

When the engine switch is tuned on, the park- ing sensors will be automatically tuned onand the operation indi
cator light (A) will be
illuminated. To turn off the parking sensors, press the“SONAR” switch. The operation indicator light will go off. To turn back on the parking sensors, press the“SONAR” switch again.
When a sensor detects an object;  The system will alarm the driver by inter- mittent beeps. As the vehicle moves closer to the object, the alarm will switch to shorter beeps andthen to a continuous beep. When the vehicle is too close to an object, the alarm may no longer sound or it mayreturn to intermittent beeps from a contin-uous beep.  Also, in the multi-information display, an indicator corresponding to the sensordetecting the object will be blinking.
NOTE
 The ultrasonic sensors do not detect objects in areas directly below or very close to the bumpers. If the height of an object is lower than the sensors, the sensors may not con- tinue detecting it while the vehicle isapproaching the object,
even if the sensors
have initially detected it.

If your vehicle is equipped with a towinghitch and part of the towing hitch is close tothe center sensors (e. g. European type towing hitch), the center sensor may detect the tow- ing hitch and alarm beeps may sound thoughthere is no obstacle behind the vehicle. To avoid this detection, the parking sensors can be switched to the towing hitch mode. To switch to the towing hitch mode; While the selector lever is in the “R”(REVERSE) position, turn off the parking sensors by pressing the “SONAR” switch, then press and hold the “SONAR” switchapproximately 3 seconds or more and release it. A buzzer will sound twice to indicate the detection mode is switched to the towinghitch mode. To turn on the parking sensors, press the “SONAR” switch again. To return to the normal mode; While the selector lever is in the “R”(REVERSE) position, turn off the parking sensors by pressing the “SONAR” switch, then press and hold the “SONAR” switchapproximately 3 seconds or more and release it. A buzzer will sound once to indicate the detection mode is returned to the normalmode. To turn on the parking sensors, press the “SONAR” switch again.
