Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (with Lane Change Assist) (if so equipped)
5-126 Features and controls
5
N00592200040
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving
aid system that alerts the driver when another
vehicle 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 lever 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 to
alert the driver.
• Do not put anything including a sticker or
film to the outer side of the windshield in
front of or surrounding area of the sensor.
Also, do not put anything including a
sticker or film to the inner side of the wind-
shield under the sensor.• Do not attempt to deta ch or disassemble the
sensor.• If the windshield is misted, remove the mist from 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 wiper blades, use only
Mitsubishi Motors Genuine parts or equiva-
lent.• Do not dirty or damage the sensor.• Do not spray glass cleaner on the sensor.Also, do not spill liquid, such as a bever-
age, to the sensor.• Do not install an elec tronic device, such as
antenna, or a device that emits strong elec-
tric waves, near the sensor.CAUTION
• Always use tires of the same size, same
type and same brand,  and which have no
significant 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 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 into
the sensor by using optical goods such as a
magnifying glass. The infrared ray might
injure your eyes.Laser radar specifications

Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (with Lane Change Assist) (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-127

Depending on the relative speed betweenyour vehicle and a vehi
cle in the next lane,
the Blind Spot Warning system will detect upto approximately 230 feet (70 m) from yourvehicle. (Lane Change Assist)
N00592300041
The BSW uses two sensors (A) located insidethe rear bumper.The detection areas are shown as illustrated.
WA R N I N GBefore using the BSW, read this entire sec-tion to fully understand the limitations ofthis system. Failure to follow instructionscould result in an accident.Never rely solely on the BSW system whenchanging lanes. BSW is an aid only. It isnot a substitute for your safe and carefuldriving. Always check 
visually behind and
all around your vehicl
e for other vehicles.
The performance of
 the BSW may vary
depending on driving,
 traffic and/or road
conditions.
Detection areas
 
WA R N I N GIn certain situations, the BSW may notdetect a vehicle in the detection areas orthe detection may be delayed. Some ofthese include;• When a small motorcycle or a bicycle isbehind your vehicle.• When a vehicle is tr
aveling alongside of
your vehicle at nearly the same speed forprolonged periods of time.

When the BSW switch is pressed while theoperation mode is ON,
 the BSW indicator
light in the instrument cluster comes on andthe BSW becomes in stand by state. When theBSW switch is pressed again, the BSW indi-cator light in the instrument cluster goes offand the BSW turns off.Indicator lightIf you turn the BSW ON/OFF, the Rear CrossTraffic Alert (RCTA) also turns ON/OFF atthe same time.
• When the heights of the next lane andyour lane are different.• Immediately after the BSW has beenturned on.• Immediately after the engine switch isturned on.• Under adverse weather conditions, suchas rain, snow, strong winds or sandstorms.• When your vehicle becomes too close toanother vehicle.• While multiple ve
hicle are overtaking
your vehicle.• When driving near a pot hole and tram-line.• When a surroundin
g vehicle or an
oncoming vehicle is splashing water,snow or dirt.• When driving on a curve including thebeginning and the end of the curve.• When driving on a r
oad with alternating
up and down steep slopes.• When driving on a bumpy or rough road.• When the rear of your vehicle is weigheddown or your vehicl
e is leaning to the
right or left due to the weight of passen-gers and luggage or th
e improper adjust-
ment of tire pressure. • When the bumper surface around theradar sensor is covered with dirt, snowand ice, etc.WA R N I N G
• When the sensor is extremely hot or cold(while the vehicle is parked for a longperiod of time unde
r a blazing sun or in
cold weather).• When a bicycle carrier or accessory isinstalled to the re
ar of the vehicle.
CAUTIONTo maintain proper performance of the BSW,follow the instructions below.• Always clean the bumper surface aroundthe sensor.• Avoid impacting the sensor or its surround-ing area.• Do not put a sticker on 
the sensor or its sur-
rounding bumper surface.• Do not paint the sensor or its surroundingbumper surface.• Do not modify the sensor or its surroundingarea.
