Active stability control
(ASC) E00616701468
The Active Stability Control (ASC) takes
overall control of the anti-lock brake system, traction control function and stability control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s con-
trol and traction. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on the anti-lock
brake system, traction control function and stability control function.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 7-36
Traction control function ® p. 7-40
Stability control function ® p. 7-40CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle.
This system, like any other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstan- ces. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive care-
fully. This means taking into account the traffic, road and environmental conditions.
l Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not work properly.CAUTIONl Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.NOTEl An operation noise may be emitted from the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System compartment in
the following situations. The sound is asso- ciated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this time, you may feel a shock
from the brake pedal if you depress it. These
do not indicate a malfunction.
• When the operation mode is put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is
turned on.
l When the ASC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys- tem compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active.Traction control function
E00619000087
On slippery surfaces, the traction control
function prevents the drive wheels from ex-
cessive spinning, thus helping the vehicle to
start moving from a stopped condition. It also
provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle turns while press-
ing the acceleration pedal.
CAUTIONl When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy
road, be sure to install snow tyres and drive
the vehicle at moderate speeds.Stability control function
E00619101098
The stability control function is designed to
help the driver maintain control of the vehicle
on slippery roads or during rapid steering ma-
noeuvres. It works by controlling the Plugin
Hybrid EV System output and the brake on
each wheel.
NOTEl The stability control function operates at
speeds of about 15 km/h (9 mph) or higher.

The Speed Limiter will resume when the ve-hicle speed goes down to enough less than
the set speed.
Put on an accelerator pedal to the pedal
stroke end. (over a detent that makes pedal reaction force bigger before pedal stroke end)
CAUTIONl There is a possibility for the Speed Limiter
to allow abrupt acceleration corresponding
to accelerator pedal position. So be careful
of the abrupt acceleration.
If vehicle speed exceeds set speed about
+3 km/h (2 mph), alert messages are ap- peared in the combination meter.
CAUTIONl Be careful about over speed.NOTElA driver can change the set speed during this
emergency use.To deactivate
E00634401122
Use whichever following ways to deactivate.
l Press CANCEL switch
l Press the Speed Limiter ON/OFF switch
l If CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF switch
or ACC ON/OFF switch is pressed, the Speed Limiter will be cancelled.
CAUTIONl There is a possibility for the Speed Limiter
to allow abrupt acceleration corresponding
to accelerator pedal position when the Speed Limiter is deactivated. Be careful.NOTEl If the Speed Limiter is cancelled by other
states, it may be a system malfunction.
Stop using the Speed Limiter and turn off
the Speed Limiter. Have your vehicle in-
spected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Serv-
ice Point.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.

CAUTIONlThere is a possibility to occur jerk, depend-
ing on a running resistance. Be careful.Adaptive Cruise Control
System (ACC)* E00634601300
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.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.
l Never 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 apply
the brakes manually.WARNINGl This system may not correctly detect the
actual situation depending on the type of
vehicle in front and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road condi-
tions.
Additionally, the system may be unable to decelerate sufficiently if the vehicle infront applies the brakes suddenly or an-
other vehicle cuts into your path, so your vehicle 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.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*
7-52OGGE18E1Starting and driving7

CAUTIONlCruise 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)* E00635101243
The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) uses a sensor (A) to determine the distance 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 (UMS) al- so turns ON/OFF at the same time. (Vehicles
equipped with the UMS)WARNINGl A driver is responsible for driving safely.
The FCM is the system to mitigate colli- sion-caused damages or to avoid collisionsas much as possible.
The system is not intended to compensate for driver’s loss of attention to the frontduring driving due to distraction or care-
lessness 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 apply
the brakes manually.
l The FCM works to avoid frontal collisions
as much as possible. However, the effect
of its operation varies depending on situa- tions and conditions, such as driving con-ditions, road conditions, and steering, ac-
celeration and braking operations, so that
the performance the function can deliver
is not always the same.
If your vehicle is in danger of collision,
take all necessary collision-evading ac- tions, such as depressing the brake pedal
strongly regardless of whether the system is activated or not.
l Never attempt to test the operation of the
FCM. Doing so could cause an accident,
resulting in serious injury or death.
Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM)*
7-64OGGE18E1Starting and driving7

Forward collision warningfunction
E00635401129
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function warns you of
the potential hazard with visual and audible
alarms.
When this function is triggered, a buzzer
sounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE!”
message appears on the information screen of
the multi-information display.
The forward collision warning function oper- ates at the following vehicle speed:
l Against a vehicle: Approximately
15 km/h (9 mph) to 140 km/h (87 mph).
l Against a pedestrian: Approximately
7 km/h (5 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).
CAUTIONl Under certain conditions, the audible alarm
may not work at all or may be scarcely audi- ble. Do not overly rely on the system; if your
vehicle is in danger of collision, take all nec- essary collision-evading actions, such as de-
pressing the brake pedal strongly regardless of whether the system is activated or not.FCM brake prefill function
E00635201055
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function prefills the
brake line with additional brake fluid to make
the brakes more responsive to your brake pedal operation.
The FCM brake prefill function operates at
the following vehicle speed:
l Against a vehicle: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).
l Against a pedestrian: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).
FCM brake assist function
E00635301072
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function deploys the
brake assist sooner than the brake assist oper- ation.
The FCM brake assist function operates at
the following vehicle speed:
l Against a vehicle: Approximately
15 km/h (9 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).
l Against a pedestrian: Approximately
15 km/h (9 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).CAUTIONl The brake assist function may not be trig-
gered when the brake pedal is operated in certain ways.
Do not overly rely on the system; if your ve- hicle is in danger of collision, take all neces-
sary collision-evading actions, such as de-
pressing the brake pedal strongly regardless of whether the system is activated or not.FCM braking function
E00635501380
If the system judges that there is a high risk
of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a
pedestrian in front, the system applies the
brakes moderately to encourage you to apply the brakes.
If the system judges that a collision is un-
avoidable, it initiates emergency braking con- trol to mitigate collision-caused damages or, if the situation permits, to avoid a collision.When the emergency braking control is trig-
gered, you are warned of the hazard with vis- ual and audible alarms like with the forwardcollision warning function.

SERVICE REQUIRED” message may ap-
pear.
If the message remains even after the tem- perature of the sensor or its surrounding areahas been in range, please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.CAUTIONl LDW has its performance limitations. Do
not over-rely on the system.
l LDW is not designed to lessen risks associ-
ated with not looking ahead carefully (atten-
tion drawn to something on the side, absent-
mindedness, etc.) or poor visibility caused
by bad weather etc. Keep steering your vehi-
cle correctly and drive safely.
l The system may not operate correctly in the
following conditions. If required, set the LDW switch to “OFF.”
• When driving on a road whose lane mark-
ings (white or yellow) are worn out or smeared with dirt to an extent not recog-
nizable by the system.
• When lane markings are vague, typically
during a drive in the rain, snow, fog or dark area, or when running against the sun.CAUTION• When the vehicle is moving in a place
where lane markings are interrupted, such
as a toll booth entrance and motorway junction.
• When running on a road portion with in-
completely removed old lane markings, shadows, lingering snow, truck-like pud-
dles mistakable for lane markings (espe- cially after the rain when road surface is reflecting light) or similar confusing fac-
tors.
• When running in a lane other than the
cruising lane and passing lane.
• When running beside a closed lane sec-
tion or in a provisional lane in a traffic work zone.
• When running in an extremely narrow
lane.
• When the following distance between
your vehicle and a vehicle in front be- comes extremely reduced (especially
when a marking is hidden by a vehicle in front this is running too close to the mark- ing).
• When entering a junction or other point of
road where lanes are laid out complicated-
ly.
• When passing a road section where the
number of lanes increases/decreases or multiple lanes are crossing each other.
• When the lane is marked by double or
otherwise special lines.
• When driving on a winding or rough road.

When approaching to solid objects
The reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are intended to indicate the distance to a flat object such as a level, flat road surface. This may make the distance to a projecting
object shown on the screen differ from the
actual distance to the projecting object. Do not use them as a guide for distances to solid
objects.
Example: On the screen the point B appears the nearest, then the point C and A in order of
distance. The points A and B actually are the same distances from the vehicle, and the
point C is farther off than the points A and B.
Multi Around Monitor*
E00645000147
The Multi Around Monitor is a system that shows the view combined with four cameras,i.e., “Front-view camera”, “Side-view cam- eras (right and left)” and “Rear-view camera”
on a screen of the inside rear-view mirror, the DISPLAY AUDIO, the Smartphone Link
Display Audio or the MITSUBISHI Multi-
Communication System (MMCS). It assists drivers to park their vehicles in parking
spaces and to parallel park their vehicles.CAUTIONl The Multi Around Monitor is an assistance
system that enables the driver to check the
safety around the vehicle. The range where the image can be displayed is limited. Do
not place too much confidence in the Multi
Around Monitor and try to drive carefully in the same way as for the vehicle not equipped
with the Multi Around Monitor.
Its range of view is limited, so you should not overly depend on it. Please drive just as
carefully as you would if the vehicle did not have the Multi Around Monitor.
l Be sure to visually confirm safety around the
vehicle with your own eyes. Especially, the four corners of the vehicle become blind
spots where an object is not displayed on the Multi Around Monitor. Do not depend en-
tirely on the Multi Around Monitor.CAUTIONl Do not use the Multi Around Monitor with
the door mirrors folded in and/or with the doors and/or the tailgate open. It will prevent
the Multi Around Monitor from displaying
the appropriate range.
