The Speed Limiter memorizes the set speedwhen system has been deactivated, the SpeedLimiter can resume by push up the RES +switch (C).However, the Speed Limiter immediatelystarts controlling and the vehicle decreases asif an accelerator pedal is closed fully, whenthe vehicle speed is higher than the set speed.
E00634601078
The ACC maintains a set speed with no needfor you to use the accelerator pedal. Using asensor (A), the system also measures the rela-tive speed and distance between your vehicleand a vehicle in front, and maintains a set fol-lowing distance between your vehicle and thevehicle in front by automatically deceleratingyour vehicle if it becomes too close to thevehicle in front.The ACC is the driver assist system to makecomfortable on a freeway. Stop lamps areilluminated during automatic braking.If you desire, a cruise control without inter-vention of the following distance control isalso selectable.
NOTE
zA driver can change th
e set speed during this
emergency use.

NOTE
zIf the Speed Limiter is cancelled by otherstates, it may be a system malfunction.Stop using the Speed Limiter and turn off theSpeed Limiter. Have your vehicle inspectedby a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Service Point.CAUTIONzThere is a possibility for the Speed Limiterto allow abrupt acceleration corresponding toaccelerator pedal position when the SpeedLimiter is deactivated. Be careful.

Yo u r v e h i c l e r u n s a t a s p e e d t o w h i c h y o u s e t .It is possible to set the speed between approx-imately 40 and 180 km/h.The ACC makes control to maintain a follow-ing distance (time gap) matched with thevehicle speed between your vehicle and avehicle in front while also activating brakesas necessary.
If the vehicle in front stops, the ACC reacts toit by stopping your vehicle.Depress the brake pedal as soon as your vehi-cle comes to a stop.
•When your vehicle is on a chassisdynamometer or free rollers.•When the air pressure in the tyres is notcorrect.•When installing the spare tyre for emer-gency.•When tyre chains are attached.zBe sure to take the following precautions tokeep the system in proper operating condi-tions.Improper handling of the system componentsmay result in degraded sensor performance.•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
r should not be modi-
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.
zWhen the cover in front of the sensor or thesensor is deformed for an accident, please donot use the ACC and
contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorised Service Point.CAUTION
When ACC detects no vehicle in front within the set distance

NOTE
zIf the vehicle speed exceed the set speed ondown slope, the system automatically appliesthe brake to maintain the vehicle speed.zWhen depressing the brake pedal while auto-matic brake is applied, the brake pedal is feltsolidly, but it is not abnormal. You can moredepress the pedal and it provides greaterbraking force.zSound is heard while automatic brake, but itis operated a brake control and not abnormal.
When ACC detects a vehicle in front within the set distance

NOTE
zIf you do not depress the brake pedal within2 seconds after an automatic stop, you arealerted to automatic cancellation of the ACCby a buzzer and display message and theACC shift into the ‘standby state’.The vehicle will then start creeping as thebrakes are released.

The set speed is indicated on the informationscreen of the multi-information display.The ACC can be selected between approxi-mately 40 km/h to 180 km/h.Yo u c a n s e t a n d i n i t i a t e t h e s p e e d c o n t r o lwhen driving at approximately 10-40 km/hwhile a vehicle in front is being detected. Inthis case, the target speed is set to 40 km/h.Setting to any speed outside this range doesnot cause the ACC to start the control.When the ACC is initialized, a buzzer soundis heard and the “SET” indicator lights up onthe screen. At the same time, the displayshowing the following distance setting andthe running-ahead vehicle symbol (only whenthe ACC is detecting a vehicle in front) isswitched to the in-control mode display.

E00635101041
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.

*
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.
