N00577800032
This switch is used to turn on or off the FCM and also to select the distance which will trig-ger the forward collision warning function.
• When a vehicle ahea
d or an oncoming
vehicle is splashing wa
ter, snow or dirt.
When the system recognizes driver’s steering or accelerati
ng actions as evasive
actions to avoid collision, FCM controland alarm functions
may be canceled.
In certain situations,
though there is little
or no risk of a collision, the FCM may activate. Examples include: • When overtaking a vehicle.• When driving on a curve.• When there is a road
side object (B) that
reflects the radar sensor signal, such as aroad sign.• When approaching a gate, a railroadcrossing, an underpa
ss, a narrow bridge,
manhole lid or
a speed bump.
• When driving unde
r an overpass or
pedestrian bridge.• When driving in
a narrow tunnel.
• When driving in a parking structure.• When approaching a slope where the incline changes
significantly.
• When trying to stop your vehicle very close to a vehicle or
an object in front.

• When passing a vehicle or an object closely.• When a vehicle in the next lane becomespositioned directly in
front of your vehi-
cle due to winding road conditions.
 The FCM should be tuned off if any of fol- lowing situations occur:• When the tires are not properly inflated. • When the emergency spare tire is used.• When your vehicle is
towed or your vehi-
cle tows another vehicle.• When your vehicle is carried on a truck.• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna- mometer or free rollers.• When the area where the radar sensor isinstalled has been damaged or deformed.WA R N I N G

The tire pressure moni
toring system uses tire
inflation pressure sensors (A) on the wheels to monitor the tire inflation pressures. Thesystem only indicates wh
en a tire is signifi-
cantly under-inflated.

When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the ope
ration mode is put in
ON, the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light normally
illuminates and goes
off a few seconds later. If one or more of the vehicle tires (except for the spare tire) is significantly under-inflated, the warning light will remain illuminated while the ignition switch is in the “ON” posi-tion or the operation mode is put in ON. Refer to “If the warning light / display illumi- nates while driving” on page 5-117 and takethe necessary measures.
NOTE
 The tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for regularly
checking tire infla-
tion pressures.Be sure to check the tire inflation pressures as described in “Tires” on page 9-14.  The tire inflation pressure sensor (A) is installed in the illustrated location. • On vehicles with Type
1 sensor which has
the metallic air valve (B), replace grommet and washer (C) with a new one when thetire is replaced. • On vehicles with Type
2 sensor which has
the rubber air valve (D), replace rubber valve (D) with new one when the tire is replaced.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire in
flation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different sizethan the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres
sure label, you should
determine the proper ti
re inflation pressure
for those tires.) As an added safety fe
ature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a ti
re pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significan
tly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell- tale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig- nificantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, a
nd may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’sresponsibility to mainta
in correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inf
lation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMSlow tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indica
tor to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one min- ute and then remain continuously illuminated.This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction
exists.When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not
be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on thevehicle that prevent the TPMS from function- ing properly. Always check the TPMS mal- function telltale after
replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels
CAUTION If the tire pressure monitoring system warn- ing light does not illumi
nate when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position orthe operation mode is put in ON, it means that the tire pressure monitoring system is not working properly. Have the systeminspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. In such situations,
a malfunctioning of the
system may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pressure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and high-speed driving. If a malfunction is detected in the tire pres- sure monitoring system, the tire pressuremonitoring system warn
ing light will blink
for approximately 1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated. The warning lightwill issue further warnings each time the engine is restarted as
long as the malfunction
exists.Check to see whether
the warning light goes
off after few minutes driving. If it then goes off during driving, there is noproblem. However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it blinks again when the engine isrestarted, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. In such situations,
a malfunctioning of the
system may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pressure. For safety reasons, when the warning light appears while driving,avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and high-speed driving.
