E00615500055
This system operates

when you are backing the ve-
hicle. It uses corner and back sensors to detect an
obstacle and sounds a buzzer to inform you of the
approximate distance to the obstacle. CAUTION
l
The reversing sensor system assists you in
determining the approximate distance be-
tween the
vehicle

and an obstacle located
behind the vehicle. It has limitations in
terms of detectable areas and objects,
and may not properly detect some ob-
jects. Therefore, do not place excessive
confidence in the reversing sensor system
and operate the vehicle as carefully as
you would do with a vehicle not equipped
with this system.
l Make sure to check the surroundings
with your own eyes to ensure safety. Do
not operate the vehicle by relying on the
reversing sensor system alone. Corner and back sensor locations
E00618500014
There are two

corner sensors (A) at the corners of
the rear bumper, and two back sensors (B) in the
spare wheel garnish. Obstacle detection areas
E00615600261
The detection areas of the corner and back sensors
are limited to

those shown in the illustration. Be-
cause the back sensors are built in the overhanging
area of the vehicle (spare wheel garnish), the sen-
sors are unable to detect low or thin obstacles, or
obstacles on the bottom of the spare wheel garnish
or the bottom of the centre of the rear bumper.
Thus, make sure to check the surroundings as you
operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Reversing sensor system detection areas
Depending on whether the vehicle is equipped with
a towing bar, you can change the reversing sensor
system between the standard mode and the towing
bar mode. The towing bar mode changes the sys-
tem to exclude the area in which the towing bar is
mounted from the detection areas. Starting and driving
4-49 4

OBKE12E1

Vehicles without a towing bar
The detection areas
are within approximately
50 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm (B)
from the back sensors. Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection
areas

are within approximately
50 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm (B)
from the back sensors. The non-detection areas (C)
are within approximately 20 cm (D) from the bump-
er. NOTE
l If
the rear

bumper or the spare wheel garnish
has been exposed to an impact, the corner or
back sensors may fail and prevent the system
from functioning properly. We recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.
l The sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper. If
the height of an object is lower than the moun-
ted position of the corner or back sensors,
the sensors may not continue detecting it
even if they detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detection
areas, please refer to “Changing the detection
areas” on page 4-52. CAUTION
l
The reversing
sensor
system may not op-
erate properly under the following condi-
tions: • The sensors or surroundings are cov-ered with ice, snow, or mud.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from other sources (the horns of other
vehicles, motorcycle engines, brakes,
radios, pouring rain, splashing water,
tyre chains, etc.).
• The sensors are extremely hot or cold (while the vehicle is parked for a long
period of time under a blazing sun or
in cold weather).
• The vehicle tilts significantly.
• The vehicle is driven on a rough road (with a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy
surface). CAUTION
• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.
• The sensors
or

surroundings have
been wiped by hand, or stickers or ac-
cessories have been attached.
l The reversing sensor system may not prop-
erly detect the following:
• Objects that are thin, such as wirenets or ropes.
• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as snow.
• Objects that are shaped with a sharp angle.
• Objects with a smooth surface, such as glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerb- stones.
NOTE l The
buzzer may

sound lower than the normal
warning sound when the reversing sensor sys-
tem is receiving ultrasonic noise from other
sources, but this is not a malfunction. The buz-
zer will stop sounding and the system will re-
turn to normal operation after the noise is no
longer received. Starting and driving

tects an obstacle during operation.
NOTE l After pushing the “SONAR” switch, revers-
ing sensor system operation differs accord-
ing to the detection area setting. • Setting when towing bar is not equipped
When the gearshift

lever is moved to the
“R” (Reverse) position (with M/T) or the
selector lever is moved to the “R” (RE-
VERSE) position (with A/T), the revers-
ing sensor system will operate even if cor-
ner sensor operation was stopped by push-
ing the “SONAR” switch.
• Setting when towing bar is equipped When reversing sensor system operation
was stopped by pushing the “SONAR”
switch, the reversing sensor system will
not operate until the engine has been stop-
ped even if the gearshift lever is moved
to the “R” (Reverse) position (with M/T)
or the selector lever is moved to the “R”
(REVERSE) position (with A/T).
To resume reversing sensor system opera-
tion, push the “SONAR” switch or stop
and restart the engine, and then move the
gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse) posi-
tion (with M/T) or the selector lever to

E00618400198
The rear-view camera

is a system that shows the
view behind the vehicle on a screen of the
MITSUBISHI Multi Communication System
(MMCS) or the inside rear-view mirror. CAUTION
l
The rear-view
camera
is an assistance sys-
tem that enables the driver to check for
obstacles behind the vehicle. Its range of
view is limited, so you should not overly
depend on it. Please drive just as careful-
ly as you would if the vehicle did not have
the rear-view camera.
l Be sure to visually confirm safety around
the vehicle with your own eyes. Do not de-
pend entirely on the rear-view camera.
Range of view of rear-view camera
The range of

view of the rear-view camera is limi-
ted to the area shown in the illustrations. Because
the camera is built in the overhanging area of the
vehicle (spare wheel garnish), it cannot show the
bottom of the spare wheel garnish and the right be-
hind the vehicle (rear bumper and backdoor).
When reversing, be sure to visually confirm safety
around the vehicle. Starting and driving

verse) position (on vehicles with M/T) or selector
lever in the “R” (REVERSE) position (on vehicles
with A/T) with the ignition switch in the “ON” po-
sition, the view behind the vehicle will automatical-
ly appear on the screen of the MITSUBISHI Multi
Communication System (MMCS) or the inside rear-
view mirror. When you move the shift lever or se-
lector lever to any other position, the screen will re-
turn to its original indication. CAUTION
l
The rear-view
camera
has a special lens
that can make objects shown on the
screen appear to be closer or further
away than they actually are. CAUTION
l
The line (red)
shows the point approxi-
mately 50 cm behind the rear extremity
of the rear bumper.
Be careful because the spare wheel gar-
nish overhangs for approximately 30 cm
behind the rear extremity of the rear
bumper.
NOTE l If
you press

any of the buttons on the
MITSUBISHI Multi Communication System
(MMCS) control panel while the screen is
showing the view from the rear-view camera,
the screen indication will change to the one
for that button.
l Because the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between parking
spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
l In the following situations, the screen indica-
tion may be difficult to see. There is no ab-
normality.
• Low light (night time)
• When the light of the sun or the lightfrom a vehicle’s headlamps shines direct-
ly into the lens
l If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This
phenomenon does not indicate a malfunction.
l It is not possible to fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes contami-
nated by water droplets, snow, mud or oil,
wipe off the contamination, taking care not
to scratch the lens.
l Please observe the following cautions. Ignor-
ing them could lead to a camera malfunction. Starting and driving

shock.
• Do not apply wax to the camera.
•
Do not splash the camera with boiling wa-ter.
• Do not disassemble the camera.
Reference lines on the screen
Reference lines and upper surface of the rear bump-
er (A) are displayed on the screen. l Red line (B) indicates approximately 50 cm
behind the rear bumper.
l Two Green lines (C) indicate approximately
20 cm outside of the vehicle body.
l Short transverse lines (1 to 3) indicate dis-
tance from the rear bumper.
Check surroundings for safety. 1- Approximately at
the
rear edge of the rear
bumper
2- Approximately 100 cm
3- Approximately 200 cm NOTE
l When
the vehicle

is tilting because of the num-
ber of people in the vehicle, the weight and
positioning of luggage, and/or the condition
of the road surface, the lines in the view
from the rear-view camera may not be accu-
rately positioned relative to the actual road.
l The reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are based on a level, flat road surface.
In the following cases, objects shown on the
screen will appear to be farther off than they
actually are.
• When the rear of the vehicle is weigheddown with the weight of passengers and
luggage in the vehicle. A- Actual objects
B- Objects shown on the screen •
When there
is an upward slope at the back. A- Actual objects
B- Objects shown on the screen
l 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 ac-
tual distance to the projecting object. Do not
use them as a guide for distances to solid ob-
jects.
Example: On the screen the point B appears
the nearest, then the point C and A in order
of distance. The point A and B actually are
the same distances from the vehicle, and the
point C is farther off than the point A and B. Starting and driving
