When the FCM system determines that its performance has been degraded, the FCMwill become inoperative. This can occur when  Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow, ice, mist or dew condensation adhere to thewindshield of the sensor portion.  In adverse weather
conditions, such as
rain, snow, sand storms, etc. A front vehicle or an oncoming vehicle is splashing water, snow or dirt.
“DRIVER ASSISTANCE CAMERA BLOCKED” message will appear and the indicator will appear
on the information
screen of the multi-information display. When the sensor performance returns, the FCM functions will resume operation.If the message continue
s showing, there is a
possibility that the sensor has a malfunction. Contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer for inspection of the sensor.
NOTE
 Actual distance which
triggers the forward
collision warnings will vary depending onyour vehicle speed a
nd the front vehicle
speed. The distance
will become longer
when the vehicle speeds are higher.  The distance which will trigger the FCM braking function cannot be adjusted.
When a problem is detected

NOTE
 The “DRIVER ASSISTANCE CAMERA BLOCKED” message
may temporarily
appear on the information screen when the sensor cannot detect a
vehicle, a pedestrian
or an object within range. This is not a mal- function. When a vehicle or an object comes within range, the FCM function will resumeand the message will go off.

The sensor (A) is located inside the wind- shield as shown in the illustration. The sensor is shared in the following sys-tems:  FCM  Lane Departure Warning (LDW)  Automatic high beam system
NOTE
If the sensor or its surrounding area becomes extremely high temperature when parkingthe vehicle under a blazing sun, the “FCMSERVICE REQUIRED” message may appear. After the temperature of the sensor or its sur-rounding area has been in range, if the mes- sage remains even afte
r restarting the engine,
please contact an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
Handling of the sensor

CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the FCM, LDW and Automatic high beam system;• Always keep clea
n the windshield.
If the inside of the windshield where the sensor is installed be
comes dirty or fogged,
contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.• Do not apply an impact or load on the sen-sor or its surrounding area.
• Do not put anything including a sticker or film on the windshield in front of or sur-rounding the area of the sensor.• Do not attempt to deta
ch or disassemble the
sensor.• If the windshield is misted, remove the mistfrom the windshield by using the defogger switch.• Maintain the wiper blades in good condi-tion. Refer to “Wiper blades” on page 9-44.When replacing the wi
per blades, use only
Mitsubishi Motors Genui
ne parts or equiva-
lent.• Do not dirty or da
mage the sensor.
• Do not spray glass cleaner on the sensor. Also, do not spill liqui
d, such as a bever-
age, to the sensor.• Do not install an electronic device, such asantenna, or a device th
at emits strong elec-
tric waves, near the sensor.• Always use tires of the same size, sametype and same brand,
and which have no
significant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspensions.CAUTION

 If the windshield on the sensor or in the sur- rounding area of the sensor is cracked orscratched, the sensor
may not detect an
object properly. This
could cause a serious
accident. Turn off the FCM and have your vehicle inspected as
soon as possible at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you need to replace
the windshield, con-
tact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. The sensor emits infrared rays when the operation mode is in ON. Do not look intothe sensor by using op
tical goods such as a
magnifying glass. The infrared ray might injure your eyes.

The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System operates to prev
ent sudden starts and mitigate
collision-caused damage by supp
ressing the
engine output for up to approxima
tely 5 seconds when the system
detects a vehicle or
obstacle up to approxima
tely 157 inches (4
m) in front of
and behind your vehicle and the accelerator pe
dal has been depressed too a
ggressively for safe operati
on. This system will only
operate when the
vehicle is at a stop or is moving forward
or backward at less than 6 mph (10 km/h).
The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System incorporat
es 8 ultrasonic sensors (A) on
the front and rear bumpers.
When the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System operates, th
e warning display will appear
on the information screen of th
e multi informa-
tion display, and a buzze
r will sound intermittently.

When an obstacle is de
tected behind your vehicle with the selec-

put will be suppressed for up to
approximately 5 seconds.
WA R N I N G  Before using the Ultrasonic misaccelera- tion Mitigation System, read this entire section to fully understand the limitations of this system. Failure to follow instruc-tions could result in an accident.
 Do not rely solely on the Ultrasonic misac- celeration Mitigation Sy
stem. It is never a
substitute for your safe and careful driv- ing.WA R N I N G

 Under certain circumstances, the system may not operate or may not detect cor-rectly an object in
front or behind the
vehicle. When your ve
hicle is approaching
the object too closely, take all necessary actions to avoid a collis
ion, such as brak-
ing and steering, regar
dless of whether the
Ultrasonic misaccel
eration Mitigation
System is activated or not.  The Ultrasonic misacc
eleration Mitigation
System is not designed to detect a pedes-trian or bicycle. When propulsion power is immediately required while the Ultrasonic misaccelera- tion Mitigation System is activated, take one of the following actions. • Release the foot from the acceleratorpedal and lightly de
press the pedal again.
• Press and hold the Forward collision mit- igation system (FCM) and Ultrasonicmisacceleration Mitigation System ON/OFF switch for three seconds or more to turn off the Ultrasonic misaccel-eration Mitigation System.• Keep depressing the accelerator pedalfor 5 seconds or more.• Fully depress and release the acceleratorpedal three times or more in quick suc- cession.
 Never attempt to test the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System. Doing so could result in an accident.WA R N I N G
 While the Active Stability Control system (ASC) is turned off
by operating the ASC
OFF switch, the Ultrasonic misaccelera-tion Mitigation System does not operate. Refer to “ASC OF
F switch” on page
5-101. The Ultrasonic misacc
eleration Mitigation
System may not operate in certain situa-tions. Some of these include:• The sensors or surr
oundings have been
wiped by hand.• The stickers or ac
cessories have been
attached to the sens
ors or surroundings.
• When the ambient temperature is rap- idly changing. For e
xample, immediately
after the vehicle has exited from a tunnel or a garage.
