N00576900023
While the ACC is activa
ted, if your vehicle is
approaching too closely to the vehicle in front, the ACC gives a warning by sounding abuzzer and displaying a message. Apply the brakes to maintain the appropriate distance to the vehicle in front.
WA R N I N G When your vehicle no longer follows the front vehicle, e.g.
at a freeway exit or
when your vehicle or the front vehiclechanges its lane, your
vehicle may acceler-
ate up to the set speed. Apply the brake, if necessary, to slow down.
Approach alarm
WA R N I N G When the ACC is not being used, turn off the system to avoid
unexpected
ACC acti-
vation. The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle and/or give the appr
oach alarm in the fol-
lowing cases.• When an object other than a vehicle,such as a pedestri
an, is in front.
• When a malfunction is detected in the system.
The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle in the following cases,
but will give the
approach alarm.• When the front vehicle is stationary ormoving at an extremely slow speed.• When your brake system has a problem,such as overheating.
The ACC may not be ab
le to maintain the
set speed or the dist
ance to a vehicle in
front and may not alert the driver, if thesystem cannot detect the front vehicle properly. Typical situations include:
• When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.• When a vehicle in front is not completely in your path.• When a vehicle in front is towing atrailer.• When a motorcycle or a bicycle is infront.• When a vehicle in fr
ont is a truck loaded
with freight that protrudes rearward from the cargo bed.• When the height of a vehicle in front isextremely low or the road clearance ofthe vehicle is extremely high.• When driving on a r
oad with alternating
up and down surfaces.• When driving on a curve.• When driving on a bumpy or rough road.• When driving in a tunnel.• When driving in construction zones.• When the rear of your vehicle is weigheddown with the weight of passengers andluggage• For up to two minute
s after starting driv-
ing.• When the surface of th
e sensor is covered
with dirt, snow, ice, etc.• When a front vehicl

This switch is used to turn on or off the FCM and also to select the distance which will trig- ger the forward collision warning function.
• When a vehicle ahead is moving at low speed.• When a vehicle ahead is not completely in your path.• When a vehicle ahead
is towing a trailer.
• When a motorcycle or a bicycle is in front.• When a vehicle ahea
d is a truck loaded
with freight that protrudes rearward from the cargo bed.• When the height of a vehicle ahead isextremely low or its road clearance is extremely high.• When driving on a r
oad with alternating
up and down steep slopes.• When driving on a curve.• When driving on a bumpy or rough road.• When driving in a tunnel.• When the system recognizes driver’ssteering, accelerati
ng, braking or gear
shifting actions as
evasive actions to
avoid collision.• When the rear of your vehicle is weigheddown with the weight of passengers and luggage• For up to two minute
s after starting driv-
ing.• When the surface of the sensor is coveredwith dirt, snow and ice, etc.• When a vehicle ahea
d or an oncoming
vehicle is splashing wa
ter, snow or dirt.
WA R N I N G
When the system recognizes driver’s steering or accelerati
ng actions as evasive
actions to avoid colli
sion, FCM control
and alarm functions
may be canceled.
In certain situations, though there is little or no risk of a collision, the FCM may activate. Examples include: • When overtaking a vehicle.• When driving on a curve.• When approaching
a gate, a railroad
crossing, an underpass, a narrow bridge,manhole lid or
a speed bump.
The FCM should be tuned off if any of fol- lowing situations occur:• When the tires are not properly inflated. • When the emergency spare tire is used.• When your vehicle is
towed or your vehi-
cle tows another vehicle.• When your vehicle is carried on a truck.• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna- mometer or free rollers.• When the area where the radar sensor isinstalled has been damaged or deformed.CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the FCM;• Always clean the surface of the radar sen- sor.• Avoid impacting the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.WA R N I N G
• Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor or its surrounding area.• Do not paint the radar sensor.• Do not install a grill guard.• Do not modify the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.• Always use tires of the same size, sametype and same brand,
and which have no
significant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspensions.

Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-13
6
Choose a proper hitch and ball, and make sure it is installed at a height that is compati- ble with the trailer.Use a good equalizing hitch which uniformly distributes the trailer tongue load throughout the frame. A safety chain must al
ways be used between
the towing vehicle and the trailer. Leave suf- ficient slack in the chain for turns. The chain
should cross under the trailer tongue to pre- vent the tongue from dropping to the groundin case it becomes damaged or separated. For correct safety chai
n procedures, consult
your authorized Mitsub
ishi Motors dealer.
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re towing a trailer. Refer to “WAR- RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MAN-UAL”. Especially important in trailer operation are manual transaxle oil, automatic transaxle fluid, engine oi
l, rear axle oil, belt,
cooling system and brake system. Each of these is covered in this manual. For details, please refer to the “Vehicle careand maintenance” section. Check periodically to se
e that all hitch nuts
and bolts are tight.
Mitsubishi Motors recommends that any trailer having a total we
ight of 1,250 lbs (567
kg) or more (2400 models), 1,400 lbs (635kg) or more (3000 mode
ls) be equipped with
its own electric or surge-type brakes. If you choose electric br
akes, be sure they are
electrically actuated. Do not attempt to tap into your vehicle’s hydraulic system. No mat- ter how successful it
may seem, any attempt
to attach trailer brakes to your vehicle’s hydraulic system will lower braking effec- tiveness and create a potential hazard. Trailer lights and equipment must comply with federal, state,
and local regulations.
Check with your local
recreational vehicle
dealer for the requirements in your area, and use only equipment designed for your vehi-cle. Since lighting and wiring vary by trailer type and brand, you should have a qualified tech- nician install a suitable
connector between the
vehicle and the trailer. Improper equipment or installation can cause
damage to your vehi-
Trailer hitches
WA R N I N GIf you make any holes in the body of your vehicle for installing
a trailer hitch, be
sure to seal the holes later when you remove the hitch. If
you don’t seal them,
deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from your exhaust can enter your vehicle. Refer to “Exhaust system” on page 9-24.NOTE
Mitsubishi Motors recommends that sway control be used whenever you are towing, to improve towing stability. For further informati
on, please contact your
authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer.
Safety chains
CAUTIONNever tow a trailer wi
thout using a safety
chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If the
coupling unit or hitch
ball experiences a probl
em, the trailer may
separate from
your vehicle.
