conditions, such as
rain, 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 spare tire is beingused.• 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,

When the ACC is canceled, the “SET” indi- cator goes off and the following distance indi- cator turns to the ‘standby’ display. The front vehicle indicato
r also turns to the ‘standby’
display when a front vehicle is detected.
In any of the situations listed below, the ACC control is automatically canceled, a buzzersounds and a message is
shown in the multi-
information display.  When your vehicle stops.  When the ASC is turned off.  While ABS, ASC or TCL is activated.  When the selector lever is in a position other than “D” (DRIVE) and “Ds” (DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING). When the parking brake is applied.
When the ACC system determines that its performance has been degraded, a buzzer willsound and a message will
be displayed in the
multi information display. This can occur when  Foreign objects, such as
dirt, snow or ice,
adhere to the surface of the radar sensor.  In adverse weather
conditions, such as
rain, snow or sand storms, etc. A front vehicle or an oncoming vehicle is splashing water, snow or dirt.  Driving on a nonbusy road with a few vehicles and obstacles in front.  The brake system is overheating due to continuous brake control on long down-hill slope.
NOTE
 You can also cancel the ACC control by pressing the “ACC ON/OFF” switch. If thisswitch is pressed while the ACC is “ON”,the ACC will be turned off.

The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of a collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian straight ahead of your
vehicle. The FCM uses
a sensor (A) to determine the distance and relative 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 straight-ahead in your path

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 to the outer side of the windshield infront 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 mistfrom the windshield by
using the defogger
switch.• Maintain the wiper blades in good condi-tion. Refer to “Wiper blades” on page 9-46.When replacing the wiper blades, use only Mitsubishi Motors Genui
ne 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

FDA Assertion number: 1520863-000
For vehicles sold in U.S.A. For vehicles sold in Canada
N00592200040
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.
