This switch is used to turn on or off the FCM and Ultrasonic misacc
eleration Mitigation
System, and also to select the distance which will trigger the forward collision warningfunction.
Every time the opera
tion mode is put in
“ON”, the FCM and Ultrasonic misaccelera- tion Mitigation System will automatically beturned on. To turn off the FCM and Ultrasonic misaccel- eration Mitigation System
, press and hold the
FCM and Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitiga- tion System switch.
The following message
and indicator will appear in the multi- information display.
To turn on the FCM and Ultrasonic misaccel- eration Mitigation Syst
em again, press and
hold the FCM and Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System switch. The indicator will go off, and a curre
nt distance mode for
the forward collision warning will be shownin the multi-information display. The distance to the vehicle ahead which trig- gers the forward collision warnings can be selected from three levels, “FAR”, “MID- DLE” or “NEAR”.

When the FCM system determines that its performance has been degraded, the FCMwill become inoperative. This can occur when  Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow, ice, mist or dew condensation adhere to thewindshield of the sensor portion.  In adverse weather
conditions, such as
rain, snow, sand storms, etc. A front vehicle or an oncoming vehicle is splashing water, snow or dirt.
“DRIVER ASSISTANCE CAMERA BLOCKED” message will appear and the indicator will appear
on the information
screen of the multi-information display. When the sensor performance returns, the FCM functions will resume operation.If the message continue
s showing, there is a
possibility that the sensor has a malfunction. Contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer for inspection of the sensor.
NOTE
 Actual distance which
triggers the forward
collision warnings will vary depending onyour vehicle speed a
nd the front vehicle
speed. The distance
will become longer
when the vehicle speeds are higher.  The distance which will trigger the FCM braking function cannot be adjusted.
When a problem is detected

NOTE
 The “DRIVER ASSISTANCE CAMERA BLOCKED” message
may temporarily
appear on the information screen when the sensor cannot detect a
vehicle, a pedestrian
or an object within range. This is not a mal- function. When a vehicle or an object comes within range, the FCM function will resumeand the message will go off.

The sensor (A) is located inside the wind- shield as shown in the illustration. The sensor is shared in the following sys-tems:  FCM  Lane Departure Warning (LDW)  Automatic high beam system
NOTE
If the sensor or its surrounding area becomes extremely high temperature when parkingthe vehicle under a blazing sun, the “FCMSERVICE REQUIRED” message may appear. After the temperature of the sensor or its sur-rounding area has been in range, if the mes- sage remains even afte
r restarting the engine,
please contact an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
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 on the windshield in front of or sur-rounding the area of 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 9-44.When replacing the wi
per blades, use only
Mitsubishi Motors Genui
ne parts or equiva-
lent.• Do not dirty or da
mage the sensor.
• Do not spray glass cleaner on the sensor. Also, do not spill liqui
d, such as a bever-
age, to the sensor.• Do not install an electronic device, such asantenna, or a device th
at emits strong elec-
tric waves, near the sensor.• Always use tires of the same size, sametype and same brand,
and which have no
significant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspensions.CAUTION

The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System operates to prev
ent sudden starts and mitigate
collision-caused damage by supp
ressing the
engine output for up to approxima
tely 5 seconds when the system
detects a vehicle or
obstacle up to approxima
tely 157 inches (4
m) in front of
and behind your vehicle and the accelerator pe
dal has been depressed too a
ggressively for safe operati
on. This system will only
operate when the
vehicle is at a stop or is moving forward
or backward at less than 6 mph (10 km/h).
The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System incorporat
es 8 ultrasonic sensors (A) on
the front and rear bumpers.
When the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System operates, th
e warning display will appear
on the information screen of th
e multi informa-
tion display, and a buzze
r will sound intermittently.

Example: When the front and/or rear sensors are temporarily not available This display will appear if more than one sen- sor is temporarily not available for some rea- son such as an environmental condition. This can typically occur when
the sensor is heated.
When the radar sensor performance returns, the message will disappear and the system will resume operation.If the message is continuously displayed, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving aid system that alerts the driver when another vehicle which may not be visible through theoutside rearview mirror is traveling in the next lane behind your vehicle.
NOTE
 The ultrasonic sensors
do not detect objects
in areas directly below or very close to thebumpers. If the height of
an object is lower
than the sensors, the sensors may not con- tinue detecting it wh
ile the vehicle is
approaching the object,
even if the sensors
can initially detect it.

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 theside 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 speed of your vehicle, the Blind Spot Warning system will detect up to approximately 230 feet (70 m) from your vehicle.
N00592300038
The BSW uses 2 sensors (A) located inside the rear bumper. The detection areas are
shown as illustrated.
WA R N I N GBefore using the BSW, read this entire sec- tion to fully understand the limitations ofthis system. Failure to follow instructions could result in an accident.
 Never rely solely on the BSW system when changing 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 varydepending on driving, traffic and/or road conditions.

the same speed for
prolonged periods of time.
