Hill start assist
(if so equipped)
CAUTION Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to prevent backwards movement of the vehicle.Under certain circumstances, even when hillstart assist is activated, the vehicle may move backwards if the brake pedal is not suf- ficiently depresse
d, if the vehicle is heavily
loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery. The hill start assist is not designed to keep the vehicle stopped in
place on uphill slopes
for more than 2 seconds. When facing uphill, do not rely on using the hill start assist to
maintain a stopped position
as an alternative to depressing the brake pedal. Doing so could cause an accident. Do not turn the igniti
on switch to the “OFF”,
“LOCK” or “ACC” po
sition while the hill
start assist is operating. The hill start assist could stop operating,
which could result in
an accident.

Warning display
N00567301132
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who cannot depress the brake pedal firmly such as in em
ergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force. If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.
N00517900240
The anti-lock braking
system helps prevent
the wheels from locking up when braking.This helps maintain vehicle drivability and steering wheel handling.  When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden braking), steering is slightly different from normal driving conditions. Use the steering wheel carefully. Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi- cle is equipped with
the anti-lock braking
system, leave a greater braking distance when: • Driving on gravel or snow-coveredroads. • Driving on uneven road surfaces.
CAUTION If the warning is displayed, the hill start assist will not
operate. Start off carefully.
Park your vehicle in a
safe place and stop the
engine.Restart the engine and check whether the indicator/display goes out
, in which case the
hill start assist is again working normally. If they remain displayed or reappear fre- quently, it is not necessa
ry to stop the vehicle
immediately, but th
e vehicle should be
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon
as possible.
Brake assist system
CAUTIONThe brake assist system is not a device designed to exercise
braking force greater
than its capacity. Make
sure to always keep a
sufficient distance be
tween your vehicle and
a vehicle in front of you without relying too much on the brake assist system.NOTE
 Once the brake assist system is operational, it maintains great braking force even if the brake pedal is lightly released. To stop its operation, completely removeyour foot from the brake pedal.  The brake assist syst
em may become opera-
tional when the brake pedal is fully depressed even if it
has not been depressed
suddenly.  When the brake assist system is in use while driving, you may feel as if the depressedbrake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in small motions in conjunction with the operation noise, or the vehicle body and the steeringwheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake assist system is ope
rating normally and does
not indicate faulty
operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.  You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is suddenl
y or fully depressed
while stationary. This
does not indicate a
malfunction and the brak
e assist system is
operating normally.
 When the anti-lock brake system warning light or only active st
ability control warning
light illuminate, the brake assist system innot functioning.

 Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted situati
ons where brakes are
applied suddenly. This system may also prevent the wheels from locking when you drive over manholes, steel roadworkplates, road markings
, or any uneven road
surface.  When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel the brake pedal vibrat- ing and hear a unique
sound. It may also
feel as if the pedal
resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down firmly. Do not pump thebrake, which will result in reduced braking performance.

WA R N I N GDo not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting
in an ac
cident.
NOTE
During repeated full-lock turning of the steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicl
e into a parking
space), a protection
function may be acti-
vated to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This f
unction will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. Inthis event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system has cooled down, the steering effort will returnto normal.  If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi- cle is stationary with
the headlights on, the
headlights may become
dim. This behavior
is not abnormal. The headlights will return to their original brightne
ss after a short while.

and the FCM judges that th
ere 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 pedest
rian 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 pedest
rian 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.
WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident.
 The FCM is desi
gned to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or
reduce the crash
speed in such collisions. It is not a substi-tute for your safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, the system may not operate or may not detect cor-rectly a vehicle or a
pedestrian in front.
When your vehicle is
approaching a vehi-
cle or a pedestrian too
closely, take all nec-
essary actions to avoid a collision, such as braking and
steering, regardless of
whether the FCM is activated or not.Never rely on the FCM to prevent a colli- sion. Never attempt to test the operation of the FCM. Doing so could cause an accident, resulting in seriou
s injury or death.

The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving aid system that alerts the driver when anothervehicle which may not be visible through the outside rearview mirror is traveling in the next lane behind your vehicle. When a vehicle in the next lane is traveling at same speed or faster in the detection areas,the Blind Spot Warning light in the corre- sponding outside rearview
mirror will illumi-
nate. If the turn signal le
ver is operated to the
side where the Blind Spot Warning light is illuminated, the Blind
Spot Warning light will
blink and the system will beep three times toalert the driver. Depending on the relative speed between your vehicle and a vehi
cle in the next lane,
the Blind Spot Warning system will detect up to approximately 230 feet (70 m) from your vehicle. (Lane Change Assist)
• Always use tires of the same size, same type and same brand, and which have nosignificant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspensions. If the windshield on the sensor or in the sur- rounding area of the sensor is cracked or scratched, 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 Mitsubish
i 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 into
the sensor by using optical goods such as a magnifying glass. The infrared ray might injure your eyes.
