The ASC is automatically activated when theignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion. You can deactivate
the system by press-
ing down the “ASC OFF” switch for 3seconds or longer. When the ASC is deactivated, the indica- tor will turn on. To reactivate the ASC, momentarily press the “ASC OFF” switch; the indicator is turned off.

NOTE
 The skid control func
tion operates
at speeds
of about 9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.
ASC OFF switch
CAUTION For safety reasons, the “ASC OFF” switch should be operated when your vehicle isstopped.  Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in normal circumstances.NOTE
 Using the “ASC OFF” switch turns off both the stability control f
unction and the traction
control function.  When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not allow the engine speed to increase. In suchsituations, temporarily turning off ASC with the “ASC OFF” switch will make it easier to move out your vehicle.  If you continue to press the “ASC OFF” switch after the ASC is turned off, the “mis-taken operation
protection function” will
activate and
the ASC will turn back on.

y/ASC indicator
The display/indicator will blink when the ASC is operating.
-
ASC OFF indicator This indicator will turn on when the ASC is turned off with the “ASCOFF” switch.
CAUTION When display/indicator blinks, ASC is operating, which means th
at the road is slip-
pery or that your vehicle’s wheels are begin- ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower. If the temperature in the braking system con- tinues to increase due
to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the indicator will blink. To prevent the brake system from overheating, the brake control of the traction control
function will be tem-
porarily suspended. Th
e engine control of
the traction control
function and normal
brake operation will not be affected. Park your vehicle in a safe place. When thetemperature in the braking system has come down, the indicator will be turned off and the traction control function will start operat- ing again.

N00576900036
While the ACC is activated, if your vehicle is approaching too closely to the vehicle in front, the ACC gives a warning by sounding abuzzer and displaying
a message. Apply the
brakes to maintain the appropriate distance to the vehicle in front.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set speed in the following situations. Applythe brake, if necessary, to slow down.• When your vehicle no longer follows thevehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit or when your vehicle or
the vehicle in front
changes its lane.
• When driving on a curve. When the vehicle in
front has changed its
course or lane, if
a stationary vehicle
appears in front you
r vehicle, the ACC
will not decelerate your vehicle.
Approach alarm

WA R N I N G
WA R N I N G When the ACC is not being used, turn off the system to avoid unexpected ACC acti-vation. Never operate the AC
C from outside the
vehicle. The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle and/or give the approach alarm in the fol-lowing cases.• When an object other than a vehicle,such as a pedestrian, is in front. • When a malfunction is detected in thesystem.
 The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle in the following cases, but will give the approach alarm.• When the front vehicle is stationary ormoving at an extremely slow speed.• When your brake system has a problem,such as overheating.
 The ACC may not be able to maintain the set speed or the dist
ance to a vehicle in
front and may not alert the driver, if thesystem cannot detect the front vehicle properly. Typical situations include: • When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.• When a vehicle in front is not completelyin your path.• When a vehicle in front is towing atrailer.• When a motorcycle or a bicycle is infront.

When the ACC is canceled, the “SET” indi- cator goes off and the following distance indi-cator turns to the ‘standby’ display. The front vehicle indicator also turns to the ‘standby’ display when a front vehicle is detected. In any of the situations listed below, the ACC control is automatically canceled, a buzzer sounds and a message is shown in the multi-information display.
 When your vehicle stops.  When the ASC is turned off.  While ABS, ASC or TCL is activated.  When the selector lever is in a position other than “D” (DRIVE) and “Ds” (DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING).  When the parking brake is engaged.
When the ACC system determines that its performance has been degraded, a buzzer will sound and a message will
be displayed in the
multi information display.
This can occur when  In adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow or sand storms, etc. Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or ice, adhere to the surface
of the radar sensor.
 A front vehicle or an oncoming vehicle is splashing water, snow or dirt.  Driving on a nonbusy road with a few vehicles and obsta
cles in front.
 The brake pads are overheating.
If the display keeps showing the message, there is a possibility that the ACC has a mal-function. Contact your
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. When the ACC system detects an abnormal- ity in the system, th
e ACC system will be
turned off, a buzzer w
ill sound and a message
will be displayed in the multi information dis- play. If the message remains after the opera-tion mode has been turned to the “OFF” position and then turned back to the “ON” position, contact your
authorized Mitsubishi

Every time the switch is pushed, the distance mode will be switched. The selected distance mode is shown on the information screen of the multi-information display. When “NEAR” is selected When “FAR” is selected
When the FCM system determines that its performance has been degraded, the forward collision warning function and the FCM brak-ing function will become inoperative. This can occur when  Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or ice, adhere to the surface
of the radar sensor.
 In adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow, sand storms, etc.  A front vehicle or an oncoming vehicle is splashing water, snow or dirt.  Driving on a nonbusy road with a few vehicles and obsta
cles in front.
 The brake pads are overheating.
“FCM TEMPORARILY NOT AVAILABLE” message will appear and the “FCM OFF” indicator will be lit on the information screenof the multi-information display. When the radar sensor performance returns, the FCM functions will resume operation.
