parts or equivalent.
• When the sensor becomes extremely hot
or cold.
• If the auxiliary battery becomes weak or
runs down.
• When the sensor is affected by strong
light, such as direct sunlight or the head-lamps of an oncoming vehicle.
• Under adverse weather conditions (rain,
snow, sand storms, etc.)
• When the windscreen of the sensor por-
tion is covered with dirt, water droplets,
snow and ice, etc.
• When water, snow or sand on the road are
extorted by the vehicle in front or an on- coming vehicle.CAUTIONl The FCM may not detect a pedestrian in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:
• It the pedestrian is shorter than approxi-
mately 1 m or taller than approximately 2 m.
• If the pedestrian is wearing loose-fitting
clothes.
• 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 lies
on the road.
• When a pedestrian is pushing/pulling
something, such as a stroller, bicycle or
wheelchair.
• When pedestrians gather in a group.
• When a pedestrian’s clothing appears to
be nearly the same colour or brightness as
its surroundings.
• When a pedestrian is very close to an ob-
ject, such as a vehicle.
• When a pedestrian is in a dark area, such
as at night or in a tunnel.
• When the pedestrian is walking fast or
running.
• When a pedestrian suddenly rushes in
front of the vehicle.
• When the position of a pedestrian is close
to the edge of the vehicle.CAUTIONl Factors such as the positional relationship
between your vehicle and a vehicle in front, driver’s own technique of steering the vehi-
cle and irregularly moving traffic due to ac-
cidents or vehicle trouble may deter the
FCM control and alarm from functioning.
l When the system recognizes driver’s steer-
ing or accelerating actions as evasive actions
to avoid collision, the FCM control and alarm functions may be cancelled.
l The FCM control and alarm functions may
be triggered in the following situations.
• When there is a structure (B) beside the
entrance of a curve and intersection.
• When running on a narrow iron bridge.
• When passing through a gate with small
head or side clearances.

“UMS OFF” indicator.
To change alarm timing
Give a short press to the FCM and UMS
ON/OFF switch to change the timing at which the frontal collision alarm is triggered. Every time you press the switch, the alarm
timing changes between three levels: “FAR”
(earlier alarming), “MIDDLE” (normally alarming) or “NEAR” (later alarming).
As you make selection, the selected alarm timing is displayed on the information screenof the multi-information display. Even after
turning off the FCM or setting the operation mode to “OFF”, the system retains your last
selected alarm timing in memory.
When “FAR” is selected
When “MIDDLE” is selected
When “NEAR” is selected

as an antenna, or a device that emits
strong electric waves near the sensor.
CAUTION• Always use tyres of the same size, same
type and same brand and that have no sig-
nificant wear differences.
• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspensions.
l If the windscreen on the sensor or in the sur-
rounding area of the sensor is cracked or
scratched, the sensor may not detect an ob- ject properly. This could cause a serious ac-cident. Turn off the FCM and have your ve- hicle inspected as soon as possible at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
If you need to replace the windscreen, con-
tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized

Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS)*E00643400280
The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS) operates to prevent sudden starts and mitigate collision-caused damages by suppress- ing the motor output for up to approximately 5 seconds when the system judges that the system is detected the vehicle or obstacles within ap-
proximately 4 m in front and behind your vehicle and judges that accelerator pedal was depressed promptly and too strongly such as misopera- tion of it. This system operates when the vehicle is at stop or is moving forward or backward at less than approximately 10 km/h.
When the UMS operates, the warning display appears on the information screen of the multi information display, and the buzzer sounds intermit-
tently.
The UMS ON/OFF is switched in conjunction with the ON/OFF state of the Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM). (Vehicles equipped with FCM)SituationOperation displayBuzzerWhen an obstacle is detected in front of your vehicle with the
select position in the “D”, if the accelerator pedal is depressed promptly and too strongly, the motor output is suppressed forup to approximately 5 seconds.

SituationOperation displayBuzzerWhen an obstacle is detected behind your vehicle with the se-
lector lever in the “R” position, if the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed promptly and too strongly, the motor output is sup- pressed for up to approximately 5 seconds.WARNINGl Do not overly rely on the UMS. It is never a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always be careful to operate the accelerator pedal perceiv-
ing the environmental conditions. Misoperation can lead to a serious accident.
l As the UMS is not a function to keep the stop condition of the vehicle, depress the brake pedal according to the environmental condition.
l Depending on the situation, the system does not operate even if the vehicle or the obstacle in front and behind your vehicle and this may cause the
vehicle to start suddenly and lead to a serious accident.
l If the vehicle is trapped in the railway crossing because the system is activated as the crossing barrier is misrecognised as an obstacle, escape from
the railway crossing without any panic by one of the following methods.
• Release the foot from the accelerator pedal and lightly depress the pedal again.
• Turn the system OFF. (Continuously press the FCM and UMS ON/OFF switch for more than 3 seconds.)
• Continuously depress the accelerator pedal for more than 5 seconds.
• Repeat to press the accelerator pedal quickly to its full stroke more than three times.
l Do not perform inspection of the system operation on your own. Depending on the situation, this may cause the system to not operate properly and
lead to a serious accident.

• When a vehicle cuts in front or behind your vehicle very closely.
• When your vehicle changed the course and approached immediately behind an obstacle.
• When only a part of the obstacle is within the detection areas of the sensor.
• When the rain, snow, water or dirt adheres to the sensor.
• When the sensor is extremely hot or cold (while the vehicle is parked for a long period of time under a blazing sun or in cold weather).
• Immediately after Plug-in Hybrid EV System starting.
• When driving on a road with many and successive curves, including when passing their entrances and outlets.
• When you are driving on a road with steep and alternating up and down slopes.
• When a road surface is surging, and there is unevenness.
• When the system judges driver’s steering or gear shifting actions as evasive actions to avoid collision.
• For a short period after the system judges the repeated depression of the accelerator pedal at a few seconds interval as a release operation.
• When the vehicle body is extremely inclined by carrying heavy loads or improper adjustment of the tyre pressure.
• When the driving is unstable due to an accident or trouble.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from other sources (the horns of other vehicles, motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pouring rain, splashing water,
snow traction device (tyre chains), etc.).
