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
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.
zIf the sensor mounted area of the vehicle isdeformed due to an acci
dent or some other
causes, turn off the system and please con-tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS AuthorisedService Point.CAUTION
NOTE
zA sound will be heard during the activationof automatic braking, this is a function of thebrake control and is not abnormal.

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.

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).

Sea water contains salt, which generallyaccelerates corrosion of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Wind born spray from thesea can distribute salt for a distance of up to20 km from the shore line with prevailing on-shore winds, although the effect is generallyworse within 2 km of the shore. Salt spraycovers roads, and may be passed to your vehi-cle as dust, or as salt spray after rain. For thisreason it is important to wash all the vehicleincluding the underside (not forgetting theplug-in hybrid EV system bay and plug-inhybrid EV system bay components). See sec-tion entitled “Engine compartment” for rec-ommended cleaning practices.Ensure you request a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorised Service Point to con-duct the scheduled Preventative Maintenancecorrosion inspection if you live within 20 kmof the sea.

WA R N I N GzDo not wash the vehicle while charging thetraction battery.Doing so could cause a fire or an electricshock.
zBefore washing the vehicle, make surethat the charging lid
and the inner lid are
completely closed.If the lid is open, the charging unit isexposed to water, resulting in a fire or anelectric shock.CAUTIONzWhen washing the under
side of your vehicle
or wheel, be careful not to injure your hands.zIf your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, placethe wiper switch lever in the “OFF” positionto deactivate the rain sensor before washingthe vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will oper-ate in the presence of water spray on thewindscreen and may get damaged as a result.zRefrain from excessively using a car wash asits brushes may scratch the paint surface,causing it to lose its gloss. Scratches will beespecially visible on da
rker coloured vehi-
cles.zNever spray or splash
water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment.Doing so could have an adverse effect on theplug-in hybrid EV system startability.Exercise caution also when washing theunderbody; be careful not to spray water intothe engine compartment.WA R N I N G
zSome types of hot wa
ter washing equipment
apply high pressure and
heat to the vehicle.
They may cause heat distortion and damageto the vehicle resin parts and may result inflooding of the vehicle interior.Therefore;•Maintain a distance of approx. 70 cm ormore between the vehicle body and thewashing nozzle.•When washing around the door glass, holdthe nozzle at a distance of more than 70 cmand at right angles to the glass surface.
zAfter washing the vehicle, drive the vehicleslowly while lightly depressing the brakepedal several times in order to dry out thebrakes.Leaving the brakes wet could result inreduced braking performance. Also, there isa possibility that they could freeze up orbecome inoperative due
to rust, rendering the
vehicle unable to move.zUsing an automatic car wash, pay attentionto the following items, referring to the opera-tion manual or consulting a car wash opera-tor. If the following procedure is notfollowed, it could result in damage to yourvehicle.•The outside rear-view mirrors are retracted.•The antenna is removed.•The wiper arms are secured in place withtape.CAUTION

The salt and other chemicals spread on theroads in some areas in winter can have aharmful effect on the vehicle body. Youshould therefore wash the vehicle as often aspossible in accordance with our care-instruc-tions. It is recommended to have a preserva-tive applied and the underfloor protectionchecked before and after the cold weatherseason.After washing your vehicle, wipe off allwaterdrops from the rubber parts around thedoors to prevent the doors from freezing.

In order to prevent spots and corrosion ofchrome parts, wash with water, dry thor-oughly, and apply a special protective coat-ing. This should be done more frequently inwinter.

consult a car wash opera
tor before using the
