Warning display
The  ABS  and  brake  force  distribution  func-tion  may  not  work,  so  hard  braking  could
make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid  hard  braking  and  high-speed  driving.
Stop  the  vehicle  in  a  safe  place  immediately
and  contact  a  MITSUBISHI MOTORS  Au-
thorized Service Point.
NOTEl The  ABS  warning  lamp  and  brake  warning
lamp  illuminate  at  the  same  time  and  the
warning  displays  appear  alternately  on  the information  screen  in  the  multi  informationdisplay.After driving on icy roads
E00618800219
After  driving  on  snowy  roads,  remove  any
snow  and  ice  which  may  have  become  ad-
hered to the wheel areas.
When  doing  this,  be  careful  not  to  damage the  wheel  speed  sensors  (A)  and  cables  loca-ted  at  each  wheel  on  vehicles  equipped  with an ABS.
Electric power steering
system (EPS) E00629201294
The power steering system operates while thePlug-in Hybrid EV System is operating.
It  helps  reduce  the  effort  needed  to  turn  the steering wheel.
The  power  steering  system  has  mechanical
steering  capability  in  case  the  power  assist  is lost.  If  the  power  assist  is  lost  for  some  rea-
son,  you  will  still  be  able  to  steer  your  vehi-
cle,  but  you  will  notice  it  takes  much  more
effort  to  steer.  If  this  happens,  have  your  ve- hicle  inspected  at  a  MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.WARNINGl Do  not  stop  the  Plug-in  Hybrid  EV  Sys-
tem  while  the  vehicle  is  moving.  Stopping the  Plug-in  Hybrid  EV  System  would
make  the  steering  wheel  extremely  hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.NOTEl During  repeated  full-lock  turning  of  the
steering  wheel  (for  example,  while  you  are manoeuvring  the  vehicle  into  a  parking space),  a  protection  function  may  be  activa-
ted  to  prevent  overheating  of  the  power steering  system.  This  function  will  make  the
steering  wheel  gradually  harder  to  turn.  In
this  event,  limit  your  turning  of  the  steering wheel  for  a  while.  When  the  system  has
cooled  down,  the  steering  action  will  return to normal.

CAUTIONlThere  is  a  possibility  for  the  Speed  Limiter
to  allow  abrupt  acceleration  corresponding
to accelerator pedal position when the Speed Limiter is deactivated. Be careful.To resume
E00634501048
The  Speed  Limiter  memorizes  the  set  speed
when system has been deactivated, the Speed
Limiter  can  resume  by  push  up  the  RES  +
switch (C).
However,  the  Speed  Limiter  immediately
starts controlling and the vehicle decreases as if  an  accelerator  pedal  is  closed  fully,  whenthe vehicle speed is higher than the set speed.
CAUTIONl There  is  a  possibility  to  occur  jerk,  depend-
ing on a running resistance. Be careful.Adaptive Cruise Control
System (ACC)* E00634601238
The ACC maintains a set speed with no needfor  you  to  use  the  accelerator  pedal.  Using  a
sensor (A), the system also measures the rela- tive  speed  and  distance  between  your  vehicle
and a vehicle in front, and maintains a set fol- lowing distance between your vehicle and thevehicle in front by automatically decelerating
your vehicle if it becomes too close to the ve-
hicle in front.
The  ACC  is  the  driver  assist  system  to  make comfortable  on  a  freeway.  Stop  lamps  are  il-luminated during automatic braking.
If  you  desire,  a  cruise  control  without  inter-
vention  of  the  following  distance  control  is
also selectable.NOTEl You  cannot  operate  the  regenerative  brake
controls  while  the  adaptive  cruise  control
system  (ACC)  is  operating.  If  doing  so,  the
buzzer sounds.
l If  you  turn  on  the  adaptive  cruise  control
(ACC) when the select position is in “B” (in-
cluding  B0  to  B5)  position,  the  select  posi-
tion is changed to “D” position.WARNINGl A driver is responsible for driving safely.
Even  if  the  ACC  is  in  use,  always  grasp the  surrounding  circumstances  and  pro- vide for safe driving.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*
7-52OGGE17E1Starting and driving7       
Page 272 of 548

WARNINGlNever rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is
the system to reduce load on the driver.
The  ACC  is  not  a  collision  avoidance  sys-
tem  or  an  automatic  driving  system.  The system  is  not  intended  to  compensate  for
driver’s  loss  of  attention  to  the  front  dur-
ing  driving  due  to  distraction  or  careless-
ness or supplement a drop in visibility due
to the rain and fog.
It  is  never  a  substitute  for  your  safe  and careful  driving.  Always  be  ready  to  applythe brakes manually.
l This  system  may  not  correctly  detect  the
actual  situation  depending  on  the  type  of vehicle  in  front  and  its  conditions,  theweather  conditions,  and  the  road  condi-
tions.
Additionally, the system may be unable to
decelerate  sufficiently  if  the  vehicle  in front  applies  the  brakes  suddenly  or  an- other  vehicle  cuts  into  your  path,  so  yourvehicle approaches the front vehicle.Improper  usage  of  this  system  or  loss  of
attention  to  the  front  by  the  over-rely  on the ACC, may result in a serious accident.CAUTIONl In  the  following  situations,  the  system  may
become transiently unable to detect a vehicle in  front  or  triggers  its  control  and  alarm
functions  by  detecting  something  other  than a vehicle in front.CAUTION• When  driving  in  curved  sections  of  road
including  their  entrance/outlet  or  running beside  a  closed  lane  in  a  traffic  work  or
similar zone.
• When your vehicle position in a lane is in-
stable,  is  frequently  steered  to  right  and left,  or  running  unstably  due  to  a  trafficaccident, trouble with some vehicles, etc.
• When  driving  on  the  road  that  the  vehicle
in  front  runs  in  offset  position  from  your
vehicle.
l Never  use  the  ACC  in  any  of  the  following
situations.  Failure  to  follow  this  instructioncould lead to an accident.
• On  roads  with  heavy  traffic  or  roads  in-
cluding many windings or steep curves.
CAUTION• On  roads  with  slippery  surfaces,  such  as
frozen, snow-covered, and dirt roads.
• Under  adverse  weather  conditions  (rain,
snow, sand storms, etc.).
• On steep downslopes.
• On  roads  including  steep  up  and  down
slopes or many changes in inclination.
• In  traffic  requiring  frequent  acceleration
and deceleration.
• When  the  proximity  alarm  sounds  fre-
quently.
• When your vehicle is towed or your vehi-
cle tows another vehicle.
• When  your  vehicle  is  on  a  chassis  dyna-
mometer or free rollers.
• When  the  air  pressure  in  the  tyres  is  not
correct.
• When  snow  traction  device  (tyre  chains)
are attached.
l Be  sure  to  take  the  following  precautions  to
keep  the  system  in  good  operating  condi-
tions.
Improper  handling  of  the  system  compo-
nents  may  result  in  degraded  sensor  per- formance.
• Avoid application of strong shock loads to
the  sensor  and  never  tamper  with  or  re- move the sensor mounting screws.
• The  cover  in  front  of  the  sensor  and  the
sensor should be kept clean.

CAUTION•Do  not  cover  the  sensor  mounted  area
(shaded  area  as  shown  in  the  illustration)
with  a  sticker,  licence  plate  or  anything
such as a grill guard, etc.
• The  sensor  front  cover  should  not  be
modified or painted.
• Avoid  using  different  size  tyres  from
those  specified  and  maintain  even  tyre
wear.
• Do not modify the suspension of your ve-
hicle.
CAUTIONl When  the  cover  in  front  of  the  sensor  or  the
sensor is deformed by an accident, please do
not  use  the  ACC  and  contact  a
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS   Authorized  Serv-
ice Point.
When ACC detects no vehicle
in front within the set distance
Your  vehicle  runs  at  a  speed  to  which  you set. It is possible to set the speed between ap-
proximately 40 and 180 km/h.
NOTEl If  the  vehicle  speed  exceed  the  set  speed  on
down  slope,  the  system  automatically  ap-plies the brake to maintain the vehicle speed.
l When depressing the brake pedal while auto-
matic brake is applied, the brake pedal is felt solidly, but it is not abnormal. You can moredepress  the  pedal  and  it  provides  greater
braking force.
l Sound  is  heard  while  automatic  brake,  but  it
is  operated  a  brake  control  and  not  abnor-
mal.When ACC detects a vehicle in
front within the set distance
The  ACC  makes  control  to  maintain  a  fol- lowing  distance  (time  gap)  matched  with  the vehicle speed between your vehicle and a ve-
hicle  in  front  while  also  activating  brakes  as necessary.
If  the  vehicle  in  front  stops,  the  ACC  reacts
to it by stopping your vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal as soon as your vehi- cle comes to a stop.

NOTE•When  the  select  position  is  in  the  “P”
(PARK),  the  “R”  (REVERSE)  or  the  “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
• While the brake pedal is being depressed.
• When the parking brake is applied.
• When  the  system  determines  that  its  per-
formance  has  been  degraded  due  to  con-
taminants adhered to the sensor.
• When there is any abnormality in the sys-
tem.
To increase the set speed
There are two ways to increase the set speed.
By using the “RES +” switch:
The  set  speed  increases  by  1  km/h  (1  mph) every  time  you  push  up  the  “RES  +”  switch
while  the  ACC  control  is  working.  If  you hold  the  switch  pushed  up,  the  set  speed  in-creases in 5 km/h (3 mph) increments.
NOTEl There  is  some  time  lag  between  the  setting
to  a  new  speed  and  actually  accelerating  tothat speed.
l Speed  setting  operation  is  possible  even  in
presence  of  a  vehicle  in  front.  In  this  case, however,  the  set  speed  alone  increases  with-
out actual acceleration taking place.
l When  the  switch  is  held  pushed,  a  buzzer
sounds every time the set speed changes.CAUTIONl The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.
By using the accelerator pedal:
When  the  accelerator  pedal  is  depressed
while driving with the ACC control working,you  can  accelerate  the  vehicle  temporarily
beyond the presently set speed.
At the point where the vehicle speed is raised
to your desired speed, push down and release
the “SET -” switch; the new speed is then set in the system.CAUTIONl The  ACC  braking  control  and  proximity
alarm  functions  will  not  work  while  the  ac- celerator pedal is depressed.NOTEl The set speed indication on the display turns
to  “---”  when  the  accelerator  pedal  is  de- pressed.  This  indication  remains  as  long  as
the pedal is in a depressed position.
l The ACC control at the original set speed re-
sumes  as  soon  as  you  release  the  accelerator
pedal.  Under  certain  conditions,  however,
the  braking  control  and  alarming  functions of ACC may not work for a short while afterreleasing the accelerator pedal.

lWhen  your  vehicle  stops  as  the  vehicle
in front stops.
l When ASC is turned off.
l When ABS, ASC or TCL is in operation.
l When  the  select  position  is  in  the  “P”
(PARK),  the  “R”  (REVERSE)  or  the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l When the parking brake is applied.
WARNINGlAlthough  the  set  speed  driving  will  be  de-
activated  when  shifting  to  the  “N”  (NEU- TRAL)  position,  never  move  the  selector lever  to  the  “N”  (NEUTRAL)  position
while  using  regenerative  braking  as  it
could cause a serious accident.
When  the  ACC  system  determines  that  its
performance has been degraded, a buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed in the multi information display.
This can occur when:
l Foreign  objects,  such  as  dirt,  snow  or
ice, adhere to the surface of the sensor.
l There  are  adverse  weather  conditions,
such as rain, snow or sand storms, etc.
l A  vehicle  in  front  or  an  oncoming  vehi-
cle is splashing water, snow or dirt.
l Driving  on  a  nonbusy  road  with  a  few
vehicles and obstacles in front.
l The  brake  system  is  overheating  due  to
continuous  brake  control  on  long  down- hill road.
If  the  display  keeps  showing  the  message,
there  is  a  possibility  that  the  ACC  has  a  mal-
function.  Contact  a  MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
When  the  ACC  system  detects  an  abnormali-
ty  in  the  system,  the  ACC  system  will  be turned off, a buzzer will sound and a message
will  be  displayed  in  the  multi  information display.
If  the  message  remains  after  the  operation
mode  has  been  turned  to  the  “OFF”  position
and  then  turned  back  to  the  “ON”  position, contact  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Author-
ized Service Point.
To turn off ACC
Press the “ACC ON/OFF” switch when ACC is in the ‘ON state’ to turn off ACC.

→  “Cruise  control  (automatic  speed  controlsystem)” on page 7-42CAUTIONl Cruise control (automatic vehicle speed con-
trol  system)  does  not  alert  by  proximity
alarm  and  control  distance  between  vehicles to the vehicle in front.Forward Collision
Mitigation System (FCM)* E00635101171
The  FCM  uses  a  sensor  (A)  to  determine  thedistance and relative speed to a vehicle and apedestrian in front.
When  your  vehicle  is  approaching  a  vehicle
or  a  pedestrian  straight-ahead  in  your  path
and the FCM judges that there is the risk of a collision, the system gives audible and visualwarnings  (forward  collision  warning  func-
tion),  increases  the  brake  fluid  pressure (FCM  brake  prefill  function),  and  also  pro-vides  braking  force  assistance  when  you  de-press the brake pedal (FCM brake assist func-
tion) to avoid frontal collision.
When the risk of collision increases more, the
system  causes  the  brakes  to  work  moderately
to  encourage  you  to  apply  brakes.  If  the  sys- tem  judges  that  a  potential  collision  is  immi- nent,  it  initiates  emergency  braking  to  miti-gate  collision-caused  damages  or  to  avoid
possible collision (FCM braking function).
Stop  lamps  are  illuminated  during  automatic braking.If you turn the FCM ON/OFF, the Ultrasonic
misacceleration  Mitigation  System  also  turns ON/OFF  at  the  same  time.  (Vehicles  equip-ped with the Ultrasonic misacceleration Miti-
gation System.)
Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM)*

As  you  make  selection,  the  selected  alarmtiming is displayed on the information screen
of  the  multi-information  display.  Even  after turning  off  the  FCM  or  setting  the  operation
mode  to  “OFF”,  the  system  retains  your  last selected alarm timing in memory.

When “MIDDLE” is selected
When “NEAR” is selected
CAUTIONl For  the  FCM  brake  prefill,  the  FCM  brake
assist  and  the  FCM  braking  functions,  the function  triggering  timing  cannot  be changed.When a problem is detected
E00652100023
When  the  FCM  system  determines  that  its
performance  has  been  degraded,  the  FCM
will become inoperative.
This can occur when:
l Foreign  objects,  such  as  dirt,  snow  or
ice,  adhere  to  the  windscreen  of  the  sen-
sor portion.
l There  are  adverse  weather  conditions,
such as rain, snow, sand storms, etc.
l A  vehicle  in  front  or  an  oncoming  vehi-
cle is splashing water, snow or dirt.
The  “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  display  keeps  showing  the  message,
there  is  a  possibility  that  the  sensor  has  a malfunction.  Contact  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS   Authorized  Service  Point  for  in-
spection of the sensor.
NOTEl The  “DRIVER  ASSISTANCE  CAMERA
BLOCKED”  message  may  temporarily  ap-
pear on the information screen when the sen-
sor  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  resume
and the message will go off.
l The  “DRIVER  ASSISTANCE  CAMERA
BLOCKED” message may appear on the in- formation  screen  when  driving  on  a  non-busy  road  with  a  few  vehicles  and  obstacles
in front.
If  the  system  becomes  temporarily  unavaila-
ble  for  some  reason,  the  following  message
may appear.

• When the sensor is extremely hot or cold (while the vehicle is parked for a long period of time under a blazing sun or in cold weather).
• Immediately after Plug-in Hybrid EV System starting.
• When driving on a road with many and successive curves, including when passing their entrances and outlets.
• When you are driving on a road with steep and alternating up and down slopes.
• When a road surface is surging, and there is unevenness.
• When the system judges driver’s steering or gear shifting actions as evasive actions to avoid collision.
• For a short period after the system judges the repeated depression of the accelerator pedal at a few seconds interval as a release operation.
• When the vehicle body is extremely inclined by carrying heavy loads or improper adjustment of the tyre pressure.
• When the driving is unstable due to an accident or trouble.
• The  system  receives  ultrasonic  noise  from  other  sources  (the  horns  of  other  vehicles,  motorcycle  engines,  brakes,  radios,  pouring  rain,  splashing  water,
