After cancelling the ACC control (i.e. placingthe system in the ‘standby state’) by pressingthe “CANCEL” switch or depressing thebrake pedal, you can resume the ACC controlat the originally set speed if you push up the“RES -” switch.
Every time you press the following distancesetting switch, the setting changes sequen-tially through three options “Long”, “Middle”and “Short”, cycling back to “Long” after“Short”. The distance setting is reset whenthe operation mode is set to “OFF” or whenthe ACC is set to “OFF,” and is automaticallyset to “long” when you set the ACC to “ON”next time.
Following distance setting: “Long”Following distance setting: “Middle”Following distance setting: “Short”If you hold the “ACC ON/OFF” switchpressed with the operation mode set to “ON”and the ACC in the ‘OFF state’, the cruisecontrol is activated. The information screenof the multi-information display then changesto the cruise control screen and a buzzersounds at the same time.Cruise control is turned off if you set theoperation mode to “OFF”.
NOTE
zPressing the switch turns off the ACC even ifit is engaged.zThe set speed is cancelled when the ACC isturned off or the operation mode is set to“OFF”.zIf the ACC is in the ‘ON state’ when theoperation mode is set to “OFF”, the system isset to the ‘OFF state’ when the operationmode is set to
“ON” ne

The FCM uses a sensor (A) to determine thedistance to a vehicle in front in the same laneand its speed relative to your vehicle’s speed.If the system judges that your vehicle is indanger of colliding against the vehicle almoststraight from behind, it gives you visual andaudible alarms (Forward collision warningfunction), increases the brake fluid pressure(FCM brake prefill function), and also pro-vides braking force assistance when you
depress the brake pedal (FCM brake assistfunction) to avoid frontal collision.When the risk of collision increases more, thesystem causes the brakes to work moderatelyto encourage you to apply brakes. If the sys-tem judges that a potential collision is immi-nent, it initiates emergency braking tomitigate collision-caused damages or to avoidpossible collision (FCM braking function).Stop lamps are illuminated during automaticbraking.

If the system judges that there is a risk ofyour vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
CAUTIONzCruise control (automa

Forward Collision Mitiga-tion System (FCM)
*
WA R N I N GzA driver is responsible for driving safely.The FCM is the system to mitigate colli-sion-caused da
mages or to avoid collisions
as much as possible.The system is not intended to compensatefor driver’s loss of attention to the frontduring driving due to distraction or care-lessness or supplement a drop in visibilitydue to the rain and fog.It is never a substitute for your safe andcareful driving. Always be ready to applythe brakes manually.zThe FCM works to avoi
d 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,acceleration and braking operations, sothat the performanc
e the function can
deliver is not always the same.If your vehicle is in danger of collision,take all necessary
collision-evading
actions, such as de
pressing the brake
pedal strongly regardless of whether thesystem is activated or not.

this function warns you of the potential haz-ard with visual and audible alarms.When this function is triggered, a buzzersounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE!”message appears on the information screen ofthe multi-information display.

If the system judges that there is a risk ofyour vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function prefills the brake line with addi-tional brake fluid to make the brakes moreresponsive to your brake pedal operation.

If the system judges that there is a risk ofyour vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,this function deploys the brake assist soonerthe brake assist operation.
E00635501104
If the system judges that there is a high risk ofyour vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,the system applies the brakes moderately toencourage you to apply the brakes. If the system judges that a collision is una-voidable, 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 FCMalarm function.Once the emergency braking has worked, youare alerted to this by a message on the infor-mation screen of the multi-information dis-play.
CAUTIONzThis function does not work for a vehicle infront which is moving extremely slower thanyour vehicle.zUnder certain conditions, the audible alarmmay not work at all or may be scarcely audi-ble. Do not overly rely on the system; if yourvehicle is in danger of collision, take all nec-essary collision-evading actions, such asdepressing the brake pedal strongly regard-less of whether the system is activated or not.

FCM braking function

CAUTIONzDo not use the FCM as a normal braking.zAfter your vehicle has stopped following theactivation of the FCM, automatic braking isreleased. As the vehicle will then start creep-ing, be sure to depress the brake pedal tohold the vehicle stationary.zWhen applying the brake during the auto-matic braking condition the pedal will feelfirm.This is not abnormal.Yo u c a n a p p l y m o r e p r e s s u r e t o t h e p e d a l t oassist in braking.

This switch is used to turn on and off theFCM and also to select your desired collisionalarm timing.When the switch is held pressed, the ON/OFFstate of the FCM changes from ON to OFFand vice versa. If you give the switch a shortpress with the FCM in the ON state, you canchange the collision alarm timing.
Yo u c a n s w i t c h t h e s y s t e m f r o m O F F t o O Nor ON to OFF if you hold the FCM ON/OFFswitch pressed when the operation mode isset to “ON”.Once the system is turned on, a buzzersounds, the information screen of the multi-information display shows the collision alarmtiming currently selected, and the “FCMOFF” indicator on the screen goes out.When you turn off the system, a buzzer soundand, at the same time, the “FCM OFF” mes-sage appears on the screen and the “FCMOFF” indicator comes on.Cycling the operation mode to ON will setthe FCM back ON.
•When installing the spare tyre for emer-gency.•When tyre chains are attached.zImproperly handling the system componentsmay result in such problems as degraded sen-sor performance and ultimately in an acci-dent. Be sure to take the followingprecautions to keep the system in good oper-ating conditions.•Avoid application of
strong shock loads to
the sensor and never tamper with or removethe sensor mounting screws.• The cover in front of the sensor and the sen-sor should be kept clean.•Do not cover the sensor mounted area ofthe vehicle or the sensor cover with asticker or anything such as a grill guardetc..•The sensor front cove

fied or painted.•Avoid using different
size tyres from those
specified and maintain even tyre wear.•Do not modify the suspension of your vehi-cle.

dent or some other
causes, turn off the system and please con-tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS AuthorisedService Point.CAUTION

Give a short press to the FCM ON/OFFswitch to change the timing at which the fron-tal collision alarm is triggered. Every timeyou press the switch, the alarm timingchanges alternately between “FAR” (earlieralarming) and “NEAR” (later alarming).As you make selection, the selected alarmtiming is displayed on the information screenof the multi-information display. Even afterturning off the FCM or setting the operationmode to “OFF”, the sy
stem retains your last
selected alarm timing in memory.When “NEAR” is selectedWhen “FAR” is selected
