E00635901023
If a problem occurs with the system, a visualwarning specific to the type of the problem isgiven together with an audible alarm.The alarm shown below is displayed if thesystem becomes temporarily unable due totoo high a temperature of the LDW camera.If the camera cools down below the predeter-mined temperature, the system automaticallyrecovers the normal state.
The alarm shown below is displayed if LDWbecomes to a non-initialized state due to afault.If this happens, please contact a MITSUBI-SHI MOTORS Authorised Service Point forinspection of the system.
NOTE
zIf warning continues
for about 10 seconds or
more, the system switches to the standbymode before the warning stops.

zThe warning message can be cleared tempo-rarily by setting the LDW switch to “OFF.”
LDW deactivation due to fault

CAUTIONzLDW has its performance limitations. Do notover-rely on the system.zLDW is not designed to
lessen risks associ-
ated with not looking ah
ead carefully (atten-
tion drawn to something on the side,absentmindedness, etc.) or poor visibilitycaused by bad weather etc. Keep steeringyour vehicle correctly and drive safely.
zThe system may not be able to detect the lanecorrectly in the following conditions. Ifrequired, set the LDW switch to “OFF.”•When driving on a road whose lane mark-ings (white or yellow) are worn out orsmeared with dirt to an extent not recogniz-able by the system.•When lane markings are vague, typicallyduring a drive in the rain, snow or fog, orwhen running against the sun.•When the vehicle is moving in a placewhere lane markings are interrupted, suchas a toll booth entrance and motorway junc-tion.•When running on a road portion withincompletely removed old lane markings,shadows, lingering snow, truck-like puddlesmistakable for lane markings (especiallyafter the rain when road surface is reflect-ing light) or simila
r confusing factors.
•When running in a lane other than the cruis-ing lane and
passing lane.
•When running beside a closed lane sectionor in a provisional lane in a traffic workzone.•When running in an extremely narrow lane.•When the following distance between yourvehicle and a vehicle in front becomesextremely reduced (especially when amarking is hidden by a vehicle in front thisis running too close to the marking).•When entering a juncti
on or other point of
road where lanes are laid out complicatedly.CAUTION

E00615500374
This system operates when you are backingthe vehicle. It uses corner and back sensors todetect an obstacle and the information screenin the multi information display and thebuzzer to inform you of the approximate dis-tance to the obstacle.
E00615601473
The detection areas of the corner and backsensors are limited to those shown in theillustration. Moreover, the sensors are unableto detect low or thin objects or objects nearthe rear bumper. Thus, make sure to check thesurroundings as you operate the vehicle in asafe manner.There are two corner sensors (A) at the cor-ners of the rear bumper, and two back sensors(B) in the centre of the rear bumper.
•When passing a road section where thenumber of lanes increases/decreases ormultiple lanes are crossing each other.•When the lane is marked by double or oth-erwise special lines.•When driving on a winding or rough road.•When driving on a sli
ppery road covered by
rain water, snow, ice, etc.•When passing through a place where thebrightness suddenly ch
anges, like the inlet
or outlet of a tunnel.•When turning steep curves.•When the road surface is reflecting the lightshining from the direction opposite to therunning direction.•Vehicle largely lurches when it is runningover steps or other irregularities of the roadsurface.•When the headlamp illumination is inade-quate because of contaminated or deterio-rated lenses or improperly aimedheadlamps.•When the vehicle is leaning much to oneside due to heavy l
uggage on it or improp-
erly adjusted tyre pressures.•When oncoming vehicl
es’ headlamps shine
the LDW camera.•When the vehicle is equipped with non-standard tyres (incl
uding excessively worn
tyres), uses snow tr
action device (tyre
chains), or has non-specified componentssuch as a modified suspension.CAUTION
•When the windscreen is covered with rainwater, snow, dust, etc.
zFollow the instructions given below to keepyour LDW in good operating conditions. •Always keep the windscreen clean.•Avoid applying a str
ong shock or pressure
to the LDW camera. Do not attempt to dis-assemble it.•Disturbing the installation of the LDWcamera or its removal is under no circum-stances permitted. The camera has beenprecisely oriented at the factory.• Do not put anything like a sticker on thearea in front of the LDW camera lens of thewindscreen.•Use only MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENU-INE Parts when replacing the windscreenwipers.

CAUTION
CAUTIONzThe reversing sensor system assists you indetermining the approximate distancebetween the vehicle and an obstacle locatedbehind the vehicle. It has limitations in termsof detectable areas and objects, and may notproperly detect some objects. Therefore, donot place excessive confidence in the revers-ing sensor system, and operate the vehicle ascarefully as you would
a vehicle without this
system.zMake sure to check the surroundings withyour own eyes to ensure safety. Do not oper-ate the vehicle by relying on the reversingsensor system alone.

Depending on whether the vehicle isequipped with a towbar, you can change thereversing sensor system between the standardmode and the towbar mode. The towbar modechanges the system to exclude the area inwhich the towbar is mounted from the detec-tion areas.The detection areas are within approximately60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm(B) from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) orless from the ground surface, excluding thearea approximately 10 cm (D) from theground surface.
The detection areas are within approximately60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm(B) from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) orless from the ground surface, excluding thearea approximately 10 cm (D) from theground surface. The non-detection areas (E)are within approximately 20 cm (F) from thebumper.

NOTE
zIf the rear bumper has been exposed to animpact, the corner or back sensors may failand prevent the system from functioningproperly. Have the vehicle inspected at aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorised ServicePoint.zThe sensors do not detect objects located inthe area directly below or near the bumper. Ifthe height of an object is lower than themounted position of the corner or back sen-sors, the sensors may not continue detectingit even if they detected it initially.CAUTIONzThe reversing sensor
system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:•The sensors or surroundings are coveredwith ice, snow, or mud.•The sensors are frozen.•The system receives ultrasonic noise fromother sources (the horns
of other vehicles,
motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pouringrain, splashing water,
snow traction device
(tyre chains), etc.).•The sensors are extremely hot or cold(while the vehicle is parked for a longperiod of time under a blazing sun or incold weather).

CAUTIONzThe rear-view camera is an assistance systemthat enables the driver
to check for obstacles
behind the vehicle. Its
range of view is lim-
ited, so you should not overly depend on it.Please drive just as car
efully as you would if
the vehicle did not have the rear-view cam-era.zBe sure to visually confirm safety around thevehicle with your own
eyes. Do not depend
entirely on the rear-view camera.

How to use the rear-view cam-era
CAUTIONzThe rear-view camera has a special lens thatcan make objects show
n on the screen appear
to be closer or further away than they actu-ally are.
NOTE
zBecause the rear-view camera has a speciallens, the lines on the
ground between parking
spaces may not look parallel on the screen.zIn the following situations, the screen indica-tion may be difficult to see. There is noabnormality.•Low light (nighttime)•When the light of the sun or the light from avehicle’s headlamps shin
es directly into the
lens
zIf the camera is hot and is then cooled byrain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. Thisphenomenon does not i
ndicate a malfunc-
tion.zIt 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 notto scratch the lens.zPlease observe the following cautions. Ignor-ing them could lead to a camera malfunction.•Do not subject the camera to physicalshock.•Do not apply wax to the camera.•Do not splash the camera with boilingwater.•Do not disassemble the camera.
