CAUTIONlNeither control nor a warning are performed
in the following situation.
• Something other than a vehicle ap-
proaches, such as a pedestrian.
• When there is an abnormality in the sys-
tem (When the ACC detectes an abnor-mality, “ACC SERVICE REQUIRED” is
indicated.)
l The ACC makes neither acceleration nor de-
celeration control and only issues warning inthe following situation.
• The vehicle in front is parked or moving
at an extremely slow speed.
l The ACC may not be able to maintain the
set speed or the distance to a vehicle in front
and may not alert the driver, if the system
cannot detect the vehicle in front properly, in
the following situations.
• When a vehicle cuts in front of your vehi-
cle very closely.
• When a vehicle in front is offset to the left
or right.
• When a vehicle in front is towing a trailer.
• The vehicle in front is moving at a speed
much lower than your vehicle’s.
• A motorcycle or a bicycle.
• A freight trailer that is not carrying a con-
tainer.
• The vehicle has a protruding load from
the carrier.
• When the vehicle has a low weight.
• When the vehicle has an extremely high
ground clearance.CAUTION• When there is repeated steep uphill and
downhill driving.
• When driving on an irregular or uneven
road surface.
• When being driven in a tunnel.
• When you are carrying extremely heavy
loads in the rear seats or luggage area.
• When the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is
starting.
• 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 the cover part in front of the sensor
and the sensor become dirty or have snow
and ice adhering to it*.
• When water, snow or sand on the road are
extorted by the vehicle in front or an on- coming vehicle*.
*: After the ACC control has been cancelled automatically due to detection of a state of
decline in performance, the ACC will not operate in the temporary condition and will
inform the driver by buzzer and indication.
When the ACC is in the state in which it can operate, indication is cancelled. Should indi-
cations not be cancelled, then there is a pos- sible abnormality in the system.

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.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*
7-59OGGE17E1Starting and driving7

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.

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.)
