N00576900036
While the ACC is activated, if your vehicle is approaching too closely to the vehicle infront, the ACC gives a warning by sounding a buzzer and displaying
a message. Apply the
brakes to maintain the appropriate distance tothe vehicle in front.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set speed in the following situations. Apply the brake, if necessary, to slow down.• When your vehicle no longer follows thevehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit orwhen your vehicle or
the vehicle in front
changes its lane.• When driving on a curve.
 When the vehicle in
front has changed its
course or lane, if
a stationary vehicle
appears in front you
r vehicle, the ACC
will not decelerate your vehicle.
Approach alarm

WA R N I N G When the ACC is not being used, turn off the system to avoid
unexpected
ACC acti-
vation. Never operate the AC
C from outside the
vehicle.WA R N I N G
 The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle and/or give the approach alarm in the fol-lowing cases.• When an object other than a vehicle,such as a pedestrian, is in front. • When a malfunction is detected in thesystem.
 The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle in the following cases, but will give theapproach alarm.• When the front vehicle is stationary ormoving at an extremely slow speed.• When your brake system has a problem,such as overheating.
 The ACC may not be able to maintain the set speed or the dist
ance to a vehicle in
front and may not alert the driver, if the system cannot detect the front vehicleproperly. Typical situations include: • When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.• When a vehicle in front is not completelyin your path.• When a vehicle in front is towing atrailer.• When a motorcycle or a bicycle is infront.• When a vehicle in fr
ont is a truck loaded
with freight that protrudes rearward from the cargo bed.WA R N I N G

There are two ways to increase the set speed. The set speed will increase by 1 mph (1 km/h) every time you push up the “RES +” switch while the ACC is activated. If youhold the switch pushed up, the set speed increases in 5 mph (5 km/h) increments.
• When the height of a vehicle in front is extremely low or the road clearance ofthe vehicle is extremely high.• When driving on a r
oad with alternating
up and down surfaces.• When driving on a curve.• When driving on a bumpy or rough road.• When driving in a tunnel.• When driving in construction zones.• When the rear of your vehicle is weighed down with the weight of passengers and luggage• For up to two minutes after starting driv-ing.• When driving in curved sections of roadincluding their entrance/outlet or run-ning beside a closed lane in a traffic work or similar zone.• When the surface of th
e sensor is covered
with dirt, snow, ice, etc.• When a front vehicle or an oncomingvehicle is splashing wa
ter, snow or dirt.
WA R N I N G
• When driving on
a winding road.
Never use the ACC in the following situa- tions:• In heavy traffic.• On winding roads.• On slippery roads, such as icy, snow-cov-ered or dirt roads.• In adverse weather conditions, such asrain, 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 sp
are tire is being
used.• 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, and which have no significant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.

The detection areas are within approximately 24 inches (60 cm) (A) from the front and cor-ner sensors and 49 inches (125 cm) (B) from the back sensors.
• When the ambient temp
erature has rapidly
changed.• When the sensor is frozen.• When the system detects ultrasonic noise,such as the noise from motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pouring rain, splashing water or tire chains.• When the sensor is extremely hot or cold(after the vehicle has
been parked for a long
period of time under
a blazing sun or in
cold weather).• When the vehicle is driven on a rough roadincluding a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy surface.• When the vehicle is too close to an object.• Immediately after the engine switch is turned on.
 The parking sensors may not properly detect certain objects including;• A thin object such as a wire net or rope.• An object that absorbs ultrasonic sound waves, such as snow.• An object with sharp angles.• An object with a sm
ooth surface, such as
glass.• A low height object such as a curb. If the bumper has experienced an impact, the sensor area may have
damage and the park-
ing sensors may not f

the vehicle inspected at an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.CAUTION
Detection areas

WA R N I N G The detection areas described below are for reference only. The actual detectionareas may vary depend

If your vehicle is equipped with a towing hitch and part of the towing hitch is close tothe center sensors (e. g.
European type towing
hitch), the center sens
or may detect the tow-
ing hitch and the alarm beeps may soundthough there is no obstacle behind the vehi- cle. To avoid this dete
ction, the parking sen-
sors can be switched to the towing hitchmode. The detection areas ar
e within approximately
24 inches (60 cm) (A) from the front and cor- ner sensors, and 49 inches (125 cm) (B) from the back sensors. The
system will not detect
the areas (C), within approximately 8 inches (20 cm) (D) from the rear bumper.
To switch to the towing hitch mode and return to the normal mode, refer to “Changing thedetection mode” on page 5-150.
N00590000031
When the engine switch is tuned on, the park- ing sensors will be
automatically tuned on
and the operation indica
tor light (A) will be
illuminated. To turn off the parking sensors, press the “SONAR” switch. The operation indicatorlight will go off. To turn back on the parking sensors, press the “SONAR” switch again.

NOTE
 The ultrasonic sensors
do not dete
