judges that there is the ri
sk of a collision, the
system will give audibl
e and visual warnings.
When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle straight-ahe
ad is imminent, the
system will automati
cally apply moderate
braking to warn you to apply the brakes immediately. When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle straight-ahead is highly unavoid- able, the system will apply emergency brak- ing to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the collision. Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.

If the system judges that there is a risk ofyour vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front, this function warns you
of the potential haz-
ard with 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 quick brake response and greater brake force whenyou apply the brakes.
N00577700031
When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle straight-ahe
ad is imminent, the
FCM will automatically apply moderate brak- ing to warn the driver to apply the brakesimmediately. 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, a buzzer sounds and a wa
rning message is dis-
WA R N I N GBefore using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitations of this system. Failure to follow instruc-tions could result
in an accident.
The FCM is designed
to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or reduce the crashspeed 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 in fr
ont. When your vehi-
cle is approaching a
vehicle too closely,
take all necessary ac
tions to avoid a colli-
sion, such as braking
and steering, regard-
less of whether the FCM is activated or not. Never rely on the FCM to prevent acollision.

NOTE
 If the FCM detects that the driver is making steering and/or accelera
tion inputs to try and
avoid a collision, the forward collision warn-ings may stop.

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 5-89. If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has been stopped by the FCM,
a warning buzzer
will sound and the brakes activated by theFCM will automatically be released. Apply the brakes as necessary to keep your vehicle stationary.NOTE
 When depressing the brake pedal while auto- matic braking is applied, the brake pedal willfeel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to apply
greater braking force.
 During the automatic
braking, operating
sounds may be heard. This is normal.
WA R N I N G The FCM will not ac
tivate and will not
provide either warnin
g or braking in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:• When the selector le
ver is in a position
other than the “D
” (DRIVE) or “Ds”
(DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING).• When your vehicle speed is extremelylow, less than approximately 2 mph (2km/h).• When an object other than a vehicle,such as a pedestri
an, is in front.
• When the FCM has detected a problem in the system.• When a vehicle sudden
ly cuts in front of
your vehicle.• When the vehicle in front is moving at aspeed much lower than your vehicle’s speed.
 Braking function will not work in the fol- lowing situations.• Your vehicle is driv
ing at approximately
19 mph (30 km/h) or faster while thevehicle in front is stationary or moving extremely slow.•ASC is OFF. The forward collision warning function and/or the FCM brakin
g function may not
activate in certain
situations. Some of
these include:• When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.
• When a vehicle ahead is moving at lowspeed.• When a vehicle ahead is not completely in your path.• When a vehicle ahead
is towing a trailer.
• When a motorcycle or a bicycle is in front.• When a vehicle ahead is a truck loadedwith freight that protrudes rearward from the cargo bed.• When the height of a vehicle ahead isextremely low or its road clearance is extremely high.• When driving on a r
oad with alternating
up and down steep slopes.• When driving on a curve.• When driving on a bumpy or rough road.• When driving in a tunnel.• When the system recognizes driver’ssteering, accelerati
ng, braking or gear
shifting actions as evasive actions to avoid collision.• When the rear of your vehicle is weigheddown with the weight of passengers and luggage• For up to two minutes after starting driv-ing.• In adverse weather
conditions, such as
rain, snow or fog.• When the surface of th
e sensor is covered
with dirt, snow
and ice, etc.

This switch is used to turn on or off the FCM and also to select the distance which will trig-ger the forward collision warning function.
• When a vehicle ahea
d or an oncoming
vehicle is splashing wa
ter, snow or dirt.
When the system recognizes driver’s steering or accelerati
ng actions as evasive
actions to avoid collision, FCM controland alarm functions
may be canceled.
In certain situations,
though there is little
or no risk of a collision, the FCM may activate. Examples include: • When overtaking a vehicle.• When driving on a curve.• When there is a road
side object (B) that
reflects the radar sensor signal, such as aroad sign.• When approaching a gate, a railroadcrossing, an underpa
ss, a narrow bridge,
manhole lid or
a speed bump.
• When driving unde
r an overpass or
pedestrian bridge.• When driving in
a narrow tunnel.
• When driving in a parking structure.• When approaching a slope where the incline changes
significantly.
• When trying to stop your vehicle very close to a vehicle or
an object in front.
WA R N I N G
• When passing a vehicle or an object closely.• When a vehicle in the next lane becomespositioned directly in
front of your vehi-
cle due to winding road conditions.
 The FCM should be tuned off if any of fol- lowing situations occur:• When the tires are not properly inflated. • When the emergency spare tire is used.• When your vehicle is
towed or your vehi-
cle tows another vehicle.• When your vehicle is carried on a truck.• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna- mometer or free rollers.• When the area where the radar sensor isinstalled has been damaged or deformed.WA R N I N G

nates, avoiding hard
braking, sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tires to the proper inflation pressure as soon as possible. Adjust the spare tire atthe same time. Refer to “Tires” on page 9-14.
2. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light remains illuminated afteryou have been driving for about 20 min- utes after you adjust the tire inflation pres- sure, one or more of the tires may have apuncture. Inspect the tire and if it has a puncture, have it repaired by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon aspossible.
The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in the following circum- stances:  A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is near the vehicle.  Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the wheels. The tire inflation pres
sure sensor’s battery
is dead.  Wheels other than Mitsubishi genuine wheels are being used.  Wheels that are not fitted with tire infla- tion pressure sensors are being used. Wheels whose ID codes are not memo- rized by the vehicle are used.  Compact spare tire is fitted as a road wheel.
If the warning light / display illuminates while driving
NOTE
 In addition, the warni
ng display is displayed
on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display.  When inspecting or adjusting the tire pres- sure, do not apply excessive force to the valve stem to avoid breakage.  After inspecting or adju
sting the tire pres-
sure, always reinstall the valve cap on thevalve stem. Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could get into the valve, resulting in damage to thetire inflation pressure sensor.  Do not use metal valve caps, which may cause a metal reaction, resulting in corrosion and damage of the tire inflation pressure sen- sors.
 Once adjustments have
been made, the warn-
ing light will go off after a few minutes ofdriving.WA R N I N G If the warning light / display illuminates while you are driving,
avoid hard braking,
sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds.Driving with an under-inflated tire adversely affects vehicle performance and can result in an accident.CAUTION If a tire has a puncture,
replace that tire with
the spare tire. Driving on a punctured tirecould lead to an accident. The warning light / di
splay may not illumi-
nate immediately in the
event of a tire blow-
out or rapid leak.NOTE
NOTE
 To avoid the risk of da
mage to the tire infla-
tion pressure sensors, have any puncturedtire repaired by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer. If the tir
e repair is not done by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer, it is not covered by your warranty.  Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray on any tire.Such a spray could damage the tire inflation pressure sensors. Have any puncture repaired by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer.
