Reversing sensor system detection areasDepending 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 system to exclude th
e area in which the towing bar
is mounted from the detection areas. Vehicles without towing bar The detection areas are within
approximately 50
cm (A) from
the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors.
Vehicles with 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 bumper.NOTE●
If the rear bumper or the
spare wheel garnish has been
exposed to an impact, the corn
er or back sensors may fail
and prevent the system from functioning properly. We rec- ommend you to have your vehicle inspection.
●
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 mounted position of the corner or back sensors, the sensors may not continue detecting iteven if they detected it initially.

For information on how to chan
ge the detection areas, please
refer to “Changing the detection areas” on page 4-83.
NOTE●
The buzzer may sound lower
than the normal warning
sound when the corner sensor
system is receiving ultra-
sonic noise from other sources, but this is not a malfunc- tion. The buzzer will stop sounding and the system willreturn to normal operation after the noise is no longer received.
CAUTION
!●
The reversing sensor system may not operate prop- erly under the following conditions:• The sensors or surroundings are covered with ice,snow, or mud.• The sensors are frozen.• The system receives ultrasonic noise from othersources (the horns of ot
her 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 lo
ng period of time under a
blazing sun or in cold weather).• The vehicle tilts significantly.• The vehicle is driven on a rough road (with abumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy surface).• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.• The sensors or surroundings have been wiped byhand, or stickers or accessories have been attached.
●
The reversing sensor system may not properly detect the following:• Objects that are thin, such as wire nets or ropes.• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as snow.• Objects that are shaped
with a sharp angle.
• Objects with a smooth su
rface, such as glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerbstones.

After pushing the “SONAR” switch, reversing sensor sys- tem operation differs accordi
ng to the detection area set-
ting. • 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” (REVERSE) position (with A/T), the reversing sen- sor system will operate even
if corner sensor operation
was stopped by pushing the “SONAR” switch. • Setting when towing bar is equipped When reversing sensor system operation was stopped bypushing the “SONAR” switch, the reversing sensor sys- tem will not operate until the engine has been stopped 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 operation, push the“SONAR” switch or stop and restart the engine, and then move the gearshift lever is moved to the “R” (Reverse) position (with M/T) or the selector lever to the“R” (REVERSE) position (with A/T).

Rear-view camera
*
E00618400013
The rear-view camera is a system
that shows the view behind
the vehicle on a screen in the centre panel.Range of view of rear-view cameraThe range of view of the rear-v
iew camera is limited to the area
shown in the illustrations. Becau
se 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 rightbehind the vehicle (rear bumper and backdoor). When reversing, be sure to visually confirm safety around the vehicle. When reversing, be sure to visually confirm safetyaround the vehicle.
CAUTION
!●
The rear-view camera is
an assistance system that
enables the driver to check
for obstacles behind the
vehicle. Its range of view is limited, so you shouldnot overly depend on it. Plea
se drive just as carefully
as you would do with a vehicle not equipped with a rear-view camera.
●
Be sure to visually confirm safety around the vehicle with your own eyes. Do not depend entirely on the rear-view camera.

How to use the rear-view cameraWhen you place the shift lever
in the “R” (Reverse) 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” position, th
e view behind the vehicle will
automatically appear on the sc
reen of the Mitsubishi Multi
Communication System (MMCS). When you move the shift lever or selector lever to any other position, the screen will return to its original indication.NOTE●
The buzzer that sounds while th
e vehicle is reversing indi-
cates that the selector lever is in the “R” (REVERSE) position. It does not warn of an obstacle behind the vehi-cle (on vehicles with A/T).
●
If you press any of the buttons on the MMCS control panel while the screen is showing the view from the rear-view camera, the screen indi
cation will change to the one
for that button.
Example of rear-view ca
mera screen indication
The lines (F and G) in the view from the rear-view camera have the meanings shown below. Please use them as guides. ●
Red: The point approximately 50 cm behind the vehicle
●
Green: The point approximatel
y 20 cm beyond the width
of the vehicle on either side

NOTE●
It is possible to set the display language of the screen to English, Spanish, French,
German, Italia
n, Swedish,
Dutch, Danish or Portuguese. For details, please refer to the separated owner’s manualfor “Mitsubishi Multi Communication System (MMCS)”.
●
When the vehicle is tilting b
ecause of the number of peo-
ple 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 accurately positioned relative to the actual road.
●
The lines in the view from the rear-view camera are based on a level, flat road surface. Do not use them as a guide for distances to solid objects.
●
Because the rear-view camera has a special lens, the lines on the ground between parking spaces may not look paral- lel on the screen.
●
In the following situations, the screen indication may be difficult to see. There is no abnormality. • Low light (nighttime)• When the light of the sun or the light from a vehicle’s headlamps shines directly into the lens → When an extremely bright spot is shown on the screen, colour smearing* (a
characteristic of CCD cam-
eras) can occur.
●
Colour smearing: When an
extremely bright spot (for
example, sunlight that has
reflected off the bumper) is
shown on the screen, it appear
s to leave a vertical trail.
●
If the camera is hot and is th
en cooled by rain or a car
wash, the lens can mist up. This phenomenon does not indicate a malfunction.
A: Rear extremity of the rear bumper B: Spare wheel garnishC: Approx. 20 cm D: Approx. 50 cm E: Approx. 1 mF: Line (red) G: Line (green)
CAUTION
!●
The rear-view camera has a special lens that can make objects shown on the screen appear to be closer or further away th
an they actually are.
●
The line (red) shows the point approximately 50 cm behind the rear extremity of the rear bumper. Be careful because the spare wheel garnish over- hangs for approximately 30 cm behind the rearextremity of the rear bumper.
