N00576800064
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC) maintains a set speed with no need for you to use the accelerator pedal. Using a sensor (A), the system also measures the relative speedand distance between your vehicle and a vehi- cle in front, and maintains a set following dis- tance between your vehicle and the vehicle infront by automatically decelerating your vehi-cle if it becomes too close to the vehicle in front. The cruising set speed can be set from 20 to110 mph (30 to 180 km/h). The distance can be selected from four levels. If the vehicle in front decelerates, the ACCwill automatically apply limited braking to maintain the distance, and if the front vehicle then accelerates, the ACC will automaticallyaccelerate your vehicle up to the set speed. If your vehicle is approaching too close to the front vehicle, a buzzer will sound and a warn-ing is shown in the multi-information display. When the ACC detects no vehicle ahead, the set speed will be maintained.Conventional cruise control mode without the distance control can also be selected. Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.

WA R N I N G Before using the ACC, read this entire sec- tion to understand the limitations of this system. Failure to follow instructions could result in an accident. Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is not a collision avoidance system or anautomatic driving system. It is designed to use only limited braking and is never a substitute for your safe and careful driv-ing. Always be ready to apply the brakes manually.

There are two ways to increase the set speed. The set speed will increase by 1 mph (1.6 km/h) every time you push up the“RES +” switch while the ACC is activated. If you hold the switch pushed up, the set speed increases in 5 mph (8 km/h) incre-ments.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed while driving with the ACC control working,you can accelerate the vehicle beyond the presently set speed.
When the vehicle speed reaches your desired speed, push down and release the “SET -” switch and release the accelerator pedal; the new speed is then set in the system.
CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the ACC:• Always clean the surface of the radar sen- sor.• Avoid impacting the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.• Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor orits surrounding area.• Do not paint the radar sensor.• Do not install a grill guard.• Do not modify the radar sensor or its sur- rounding area.• Always use tires of the same size, sametype, and same brand, and which have nosignificant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.
To increase the set speed

By using the “RES +” switch:

NOTE
 There is some time lag until the vehicle begins accelerating to the new set speed after the set speed has been changed.  The set speed can be changed even while your vehicle is following a vehicle in frontusing the ACC. In this case, however, although the set speed itself is increased, your vehicle will not accelerate.  While the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state, the vehicle speed cannotbe set.
By using the accelerator pedal:

WA R N I N G The ACC braking control and approach alarm functions will not work while the accelerator pedal is depressed.NOTE
 The set speed indicator in the multi-informa- tion display will show “---” while the accel- erator pedal is depressed.  If the “SET -” button is not pushed down while depressing the accelerator pedal, yourvehicle speed will return to the set speed, after the accelerator pedal is released. When the accelerator pedal is released, the ACCbraking control and approach alarm func- tions may not immediately work.

 When the system detects the vehicle mov- ing down a slope while the vehicle is in the stationary vehicle hold state.
If the ACC system judges that the stationary vehicle hold state can no longer be main-tained on a steep slope after your vehicle stops when the vehicle in front stops, the sta- tionary vehicle hold state is cancelled and awarning appears on the information screen of the multi-information display. Depress the brake pedal. If the detection performance of the ACC sys- tem has degraded, such as in the following situations, or if the ACC system judges that it can temporarily not operate, the ACC systemoperation will be cancelled automatically, and then a buzzer will sound and a message will appear to inform the driver.
This can occur when  The brake system is overheating due to continuous brake control on long down- hill slope.
This can occur when  In adverse weather
conditions, such as
rain, snow or sand storms, etc. Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or ice, adhere to the surface of the sensor.  A front vehicle or an oncoming vehicle is splashing water, snow or dirt.  Driving on a nonbusy road with a few vehicles and obstacles in front.
If the display keeps showing the message, there is a possibility
that the ACC has a mal-
function. Contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. When the ACC system detects an abnormal- ity in the system, the ACC system will beturned off, a buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed in the multi-information display.
If the message remains after the operation mode is put in OFF, and then turned back to ON, contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM) (if so equipped)
5-104 Features and controls
5
N00577300125
The Forward Collision Mitigation system
(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of a
collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian
straight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM uses
a sensor (A) to determine the distance and
relative speed to a vehicle and a pedestrian in
front. The FCM is not designed as an auto-
matic driving system or as a collision avoid-
ance system.
When your vehicle is approaching a vehicle
or a pedestrian straight-ahead in your path
and the FCM judges that there is the risk of a
collision, the system will give audible and
visual warnings.
When the FCM judges that a collision with
the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is
imminent, the system will automatically
apply moderate braking to warn you to apply
the brakes immediately.
When the FCM judges that a collision with
the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is
highly unavoidable, the system will apply
emergency braking to reduce the severity of
the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-
lision. Stop lights are illuminated during automatic
braking.Forward Collision Mitiga-
tion system (FCM)

 The FCM may not detect a pedestrian in certain situations. Some of these include:• If the pedestrian is shorter than approxi-mately 3.2 feet (1 m) or taller than approximately 6.5 feet (2 m).• If the pedestrian is wearing loose-fittingclothes.• If part of a pedestrian’s body is hidden,such as when holding an umbrella, large bag, etc.• If a pedestrian bends forward, sits or lieson the road.• When a pedestrian is pushing/pullingsomething, such as a stroller, bicycle orwheelchair.• When pedestrians gather in a group.• When a pedestrian clothing appears tobe nearly the same color or brightness as its surroundings.• When a pedestrian is very close to anobject, such as a vehicle.• When a pedestrian is in a dark area, suchas at night or in a tunnel.WA R N I N G
• When a pedestrian is walking fast orrunning.• When a pedestrian suddenly rushes in front of the vehicle.• When the position of a pedestrian is closeto the edge of the vehicle.
 When the system recognizes driver’s steering or accelerating actions as evasiveactions to avoid a collision, FCM control and alarm functions may be canceled. In certain situations, though there is little or no risk of a collision, the FCM may activate. Examples include: • When overtaking a vehicle.• When driving on a curve.• When there is a road side object (B) thatreflects the radar sensor signal, such as a road sign.• When approaching a gate, a railroad crossing, an underpass, a narrow bridge, manhole lid or a speed bump.• When driving under an overpass orpedestrian bridge.• When driving in a narrow tunnel.• When driving in a parking structure.WA R N I N G
