Electric power steering system (EPS)
Features and controls 5-99

The anti-lock braking system and brake forcedistribution function ma
y not work, so hard
braking could make the vehicle unstable.Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.Stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact anauthorized Mitsubishi Mo
tors dealer or repair
facility of your choice.

After driving on snow or icy roads, removeany snow and ice which may have be leftaround the wheels. On vehicles that have ananti-lock braking syst
em, be careful not to
damage the wheel spee
d sensors (A) or the
cables located at each wheel.
N00568401084
The power steering system operates while theengine is running. It helps reduce the effortneeded to turn the steering wheel.The power steering sy
stem has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist islost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-cle, but you will notice it takes much moreeffort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi-cle inspected at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.

The anti-lock braking
system warning light
and brake warning light illuminate at thesame time and the wa
rning displays appear
alternately on the information screen in themulti-information display.

WA R N I N GDo not stop the engine while the vehicle ismoving. Stopping the engine would makethe steering wheel extremely hard to turn,possibly resulting
in an accident.
NOTE
During repeated full-lock turning of thesteering wheel (for example, while you aremanoeuvring the vehicle into a parkingspace), a protection f
unction may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the powersteering system. This f
unction will make the
steering wheel graduall
y harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steeringwheel for a while. When the system hascooled down, the steering effort will returnto normal.If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-cle is stationary with the headlights on, theheadlights may become
dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The he
adlights will return to
their original brightness after a short while.

While the ACC is activated, if your vehicle isapproaching too closely to the vehicle infront, the ACC gives a warning by sounding abuzzer and displaying a message. Apply thebrakes to maintain the appropriate distance tothe vehicle in front.When the vehicle in
front has changed its
course or lane, if a stationary vehicleappears in front you

vehicle.WA R N I N G
The ACC will not decelerate your vehicleand/or give the approach alarm in the fol-lowing cases.• When an object other than a vehicle,such as a pedestri

• When a malfunction is detected in thesystem.
The ACC will not decelerate your vehiclein the following cases, but will give theapproach alarm.• When the front vehicle is stationary ormoving at an extr

• When your brake system has a problem,such as overheating.
The ACC may not be able to maintain theset speed or the dist
ance to a vehicle in
front and may not alert the driver, if thesystem cannot detect the front vehicleproperly. Typical situations include: • When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.• When a vehicle in front is not completelyin your path.• When a vehicle in front is towing atrailer.• When a motorcycle or a bicycle is infront.• When a vehicle in fr
ont is a truck loaded
with freight that protrudes rearwardfrom the cargo bed.WA R N I N G
• When the height of a vehicle in front isextremely low or the road clearance ofthe vehicle is extremely high.• When driving on a r
oad with alternating
up and down surfaces.• When driving on a curve.• When driving on a bumpy or rough road.• When driving in a tunnel.• When driving in construction zones.• When the rear of your vehicle is weigheddown with the weight of passengers andluggage• For up to two minutes after starting driv-ing.• When driving in curved sections of roadincluding their entrance/outlet or run-ning beside a closed lane in a traffic workor similar zone.• When the surface of th

N00581500027
There are two ways to increase the set speed.The set speed will increase by 1 mph (1km/h) every time you push up the “RES +”switch while the ACC is activated. If youhold the switch pushed up, the set speedincreases in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments.
When the accelerator
pedal is depressed
while driving with the ACC control working,you can accelerate the vehicle beyond thepresently set speed.When the vehicle speed reaches your desiredspeed, push down and release the “SET -”

Never use the ACC in the following situa-tions:• In heavy traffic.• On winding roads.• On slippery roads, such as icy, snow-cov-ered or dirt roads.• In adverse weather conditions, such asrain, snow or sand storms, etc.• On steep downslopes.• When the inclination of a road fre-quently changes.• When the approach alarm frequentlysounds.• When your vehicle is towed or is towinganother vehicle.• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna-mometer or free rollers.• When tire inflation pressures are notadequate.• When the temporary sp
are tire is being
used.• When the radar sensor and/or its sur-rounding area are damaged or deformed.WA R N I N G
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 whileyour vehicle is followi
ng a vehicle in front
using the ACC. In this case, however,although the set speed itself is increased,your vehicle will
not accelerate.
When the switch is held, a buzzer will soundevery time the set speed changes

continuous brake control on long down-hill slope.
If the display keeps showing the message,there is a possibility that the ACC has a mal-function. Contact your authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer.When the ACC system
detects an abnormal-
ity in the system, the ACC system will beturned off, a buzzer will sound and a messagewill be displayed in the multi information dis-play. If the message remains after the opera-tion mode has been tu

N00577300095
The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of acollision with a vehicle or a pedestrianstraight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM usesa sensor (A) to determine the distance andrelative speed to a vehi
cle 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 vehicleor a pedestrian strai
ght-ahead in your path
and the FCM judges that there is the risk of acollision, the system
will give audible and
visual warnings.When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the system will automaticallyapply moderate braking to warn you to applythe brakes immediately. When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
highly unavoidable, th
e system will apply
emergency braking to reduce the severity ofthe collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-lision.Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.

tions not expressly

• If the pedestrian is wearing loose-fittingclothes.• If part of a pedestrian’s body is hidden,such as when holding an umbrella, largebag, 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 to
be nearly the same color or brightness asits 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.• When a pedestrian is walking fast orrunning.• When a pedestrian suddenly rushes infront of the vehicle.• When the position of
a pedestrian is close
to the edge of the vehicle.
When the system recognizes driver’ssteering or accelerati
