If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or thepedestrian in front, this function warns you of the potential hazard wi
th visual and audible
alarms.When this function is triggered, a buzzer sounds and, at the sa
me time, a “BRAKE”
message appears on the
information screen of
the multi-information display. The FCM will also prepare to provide quickbrake response and greater brake force when you apply the brakes. The forward collision warning function oper- ates when the following vehicle speed:  Against a vehicle: Approximately 10 mph (15 km/h) to 87 mph (140 km/h).  Against a pedestrian: Approximately 5 mph (7 km/h) to 40 mph (65 km/h).
N00577700073
When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the FCM will automatically applymoderate braking to warn the driver to apply the brakes immediately. If the FCM judges that
the collision is highly
unavoidable, it will automatically apply emergency braking to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col- lision. When the FCM applies emergency braking, abuzzer sounds and a wa
rning message is dis-
played in the information screen of the multi- information display. The FCM braking function operates when the following vehicle speed:  Against a vehicle:
Approximately 3 mph
(5 km/h) to 50 mph (80 km/h) Against a pedestrian: Approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) to 40 mph (65 km/h)

FCM braking function

WA R N I N G If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking function will not operate. Refer to “Activestability control” on page 5-100. If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has beenstopped by the FCM,
a warning buzzer
will sound and the brakes activated by the FCM will automatically be released.Apply the brakes as necessary to keep your vehicle stationary. The FCM will not activate and will not provide either warnin
g or braking in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:• When the selector le
ver is in the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position.• When an object other
than a vehicle or a
pedestrian is in front.• When the FCM has detected a problemin the system.• When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenlycuts in front
of your vehicle.
The FCM may or may not detect a motor- cycle, bicycle or wall depending on the sit-uation. The FCM is not designed to detect these objects. The forward collision warning function and/or the FCM brakin
g function may not
activate in certain situations. Some ofthese include:• When a vehicle sudden
ly appears just in
front of your vehicle.• When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.

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.
