To start up (place in ‘standby state’) the system
With the operation mode set to “ON”, pressthe “ACC ON/OFF” switch shortly to acti-
vate the ACC.
The display on the information screen of the multi-information display will switch to show
information on the ACC.
When the ACC is activated, it is placed in the
‘standby state’ at which any control function
is not started.

NOTElEven if the ACC is in the activated state
when the operation mode is set to “OFF”,
the system does not automatically become
activated when the operation mode is set to “ON” next time.
To activate ACC control
With the ACC turned on (in the ‘standby
state’), push down the “SET -” switch whiledriving.
When your desired speed is reached, release
the “SET -” switch; then this speed is set and
the ACC initiates the speed control to the set speed.
The set speed is indicated on the informationscreen of the multi-information display.
The ACC can be selected between approxi-
mately 40 km/h (25 mph) to 180 km/h
(112 mph).
You can set and initiate the speed control when driving at approximately 10-40 km/h
while a vehicle in front is being detected. In this case, the target speed is set to 40 km/h
(25 mph).
Setting to any speed outside this range does
not cause the ACC to start the control.
When the ACC is initialized, a buzzer sound
is heard and the “SET” indicator lights up on the screen. At the same time, the display showing the following distance setting and
the running-ahead vehicle symbol (only when
the ACC is detecting a vehicle in front) is switched to the in-control mode display.NOTEl The ACC cannot start the control when any
of the following conditions is present. You
are alerted to this state by a sounding buzzer.
• When the vehicle speed is lower than ap-
proximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or 180 km/h
(112 mph) or higher.
• When the vehicle is running at a speed be-
tween approximately 10 km/h (6 mph)
and 40 km/h (25 mph) and the ACC does
not detect a vehicle in front.
• When ASC is in the OFF state.
• When ABS, ASC or TCL is working.
• When the selector lever is in a position
other than “D” (DRIVE).

NOTE•While the brake pedal is being depressed.
• When the parking brake is engaged.
• 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.

To terminate ACC control
To cancel of ACC control
You can cancel the ACC control by using ei-
ther of the methods below.
When the control is cancelled, the system is placed in the ‘standby state’. You can makethe system restart the control by using the
“SET -” or “RES +” switch if the conditions for activating the control are met.
l Press the “CANCEL” switch.
l Depress the brake pedal.NOTElYou can also cancel the ACC control by
pressing the “ACC ON/OFF” switch. If thisswitch is pressed, ACC is turned off.
When the system shifts into the ‘standby
state’ as a result of cancellation of the ACC
control, the“ SET” indicator goes out. At the same time, the display of the following dis-
tance setting and running-ahead vehicle sym- bol (only when ACC is detecting a vehicle) is
placed in the standby state of display.
The ACC control is automatically cancelled
and the ACC is placed in the ‘standby’ state
in any of the situations listed below; you are
alerted to this condition by the sound of a
buzzer and a message on the display. You can make the system restart the control by us-ing the “SET -” or “RES +” switch if the con-
ditions for resuming the control are reestab-
lished.
l When your vehicle stops as the vehicle
in front stops.
l When ASC is turned off.
l When ABS, ASC or TCL is in operation.

lWhen the select position is other than
“D”.WARNINGl Although 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.
l When the parking brake is engaged.
l When the ACC is self-cancelled because
the system determines that its perform- ance has declined and it cannot operate
temporarily due to the following situa- tions, the driver is informed by a buzzer
and an indication on the screen. • Under adverse weather conditions
(rain, snow, sand storms, etc.)
• When the sensor is dirty or blocked by
snow and ice.
• When a preceding or oncoming vehi-
cle splashes water, snow or sand in front of the sensor.
• The brake pads are overheating.
• When you are driving in light traffic
with few vehicles and obstacles in front.
When the ACC returns to normal opera-
tion, the indicator is cancelled. If the in- dicator continues, there may be a fault in
the system. Please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
l When some problem occurs with the
system. (In this situation, the ACC con-
trol is automatically cancelled and the system is turned off. You are alerted to
this situation by the sound of a buzzer and a message on the display. If the mes-
sage remains displayed even after setting the operation mode to “ON”, please con-
tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.)
l When some other condition which cau-
ses the control to terminate occurs. (This situation may indicate a fault. Turn off
ACC and please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.)
To turn off ACC
Press the “ACC ON/OFF” switch when ACC is in the ‘ON state’ to turn off ACC.

NOTElPressing the switch turns off the ACC even
if it is engaged.
l The set speed is cancelled when the ACC is
turned off or the operation mode is set to
“OFF”.
l If the ACC is in the ‘ON state’ when the op-
eration mode is set to “OFF”, the system is set to the ‘OFF state’ when the operation
mode is set to “ON” next time.
To resume the control
After cancelling the ACC control (i.e. placing
the system in the ‘standby state’) by pressing the “CANCEL” switch or depressing the
brake pedal, you can resume the ACC control
at the originally set speed if you push up the “RES +” switch.
NOTEl The conditions to be met before the ACC
control can be resumed are the same as those for starting the ACC control.
To change the following dis-
tance setting
Every time you press the following distance
setting switch, the setting changes sequential- ly through three options “Long”, “Middle”
and “Short”, cycling back to “Long” after “Short”. The distance setting is reset when
the operation mode is set to “OFF” or when the ACC is set to “OFF,” and is automatically
set to “long” when you set the ACC to “ON”
next time.
NOTEl The following distance varies as a function
of the speed; the faster the set speed, the lon- ger the following distance.Following distance setting: “Long”Following distance setting: “Middle”Following distance setting: “Short”
To activate cruise control (auto-
matic speed control)
If you hold the “ACC ON/OFF” switch
pressed with the operation mode set to “ON” and the ACC in the ‘OFF state’, the cruisecontrol is activated. The information screen
of the multi-information display then changes to the cruise control screen and a buzzersounds at the same time.

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.CAUTIONl This function does not work for a vehicle in
front which is moving extremely slower than
your vehicle.
l 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
E00635200016
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function prefills the brake line with addi- tional brake fluid to make the brakes more re-
sponsive to your brake pedal operation.
FCM brake assist function
E00635301027
If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function deploys the brake assist sooner than the brake assist operation.
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
E00635501120
If the system judges that there is a high risk
of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in
front, the system applies the brakes moder-
ately 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 FCM
alarm function.
Once the emergency braking has worked, you
are alerted to this by a message on the infor- mation screen of the multi-information dis- play.CAUTIONl Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.
l After your vehicle has stopped following the
activation of the FCM, automatic braking is
released. As the vehicle will then start creep-
ing, be sure to depress the brake pedal to
hold the vehicle stationary.

CAUTIONlWhen applying the brake during the auto-
matic braking condition the pedal will feel firm.
This is not abnormal.
You can apply more pressure to the pedal to
assist in braking.
l In the following situations, the system pro-
vides neither control nor alarming.
• The vehicle in front of your vehicle is
moving at a speed much lower than your
vehicle’s speed.
• When a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of
your vehicle.
• When the distance from a vehicle in front
is extremely short.
• To an oncoming vehicle.
• When your vehicle’s speed is much low-
er.
• When the selector lever is other in the
“D” (DRIVE) position.CAUTION• When the system is faulty (if the system
self-detects any fault, the “FCM SERV- ICE REQUIRED” message is indicated
and the “FCM OFF” indicator lights up on the information screen of the multi-in- formation display).
If the message remains after the operation
mode has been turned to the “OFF” posi- tion and then turned back to the “ON” po-
sition, contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
