How to use ACC
E00635001213
To start up (place in ‘standby
state’) the system
With the operation mode set to “ON”, press
the “ACC ON/OFF” switch shortly to acti-
vate the ACC.
The display on the information screen of the multi-information display will switch to show
information on the ACC.
When the ACC is activated, it is placed in the
‘standby state’ at which any control function
is not started.
NOTEl Even if the ACC is in the activated state
when the operation mode is set to “OFF”,
the system does not automatically become
activated when the operation mode is set to “ON” next time.
To activate ACC control
With the ACC turned on (in the ‘standby
state’), push down the “SET -” switch whiledriving.
When your desired speed is reached, release
the “SET -” switch; then this speed is set and
the ACC initiates the speed control to the set speed.
The set speed is indicated on the informationscreen of the multi-information display.
The ACC can be selected between approxi-
mately 40 km/h (25 mph) to 180 km/h
(112 mph).
You can set and initiate the speed control when driving at approximately 10-40 km/h
while a vehicle in front is being detected. In this case, the target speed is set to 40 km/h
(25 mph).
Setting to any speed outside this range does
not cause the ACC to start the control.

When the ACC is initialized, a buzzer soundis heard and the “SET” indicator lights up on the screen. At the same time, the display showing the following distance setting and
the running-ahead vehicle symbol (only when
the ACC is detecting a vehicle in front) is switched to the in-control mode display.NOTEl The ACC cannot start the control when any
of the following conditions is present. You
are alerted to this state by a sounding buzzer.
• When the vehicle speed is lower than ap-
proximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or 180 km/h
(112 mph) or higher.
• When the vehicle is running at a speed be-
tween approximately 10 km/h (6 mph)
and 40 km/h (25 mph) and the ACC does
not detect a vehicle in front.
• When ASC is in the OFF state.
• When ABS, ASC or TCL is working.NOTE•When the select position is in the “P”
(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE) or the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
• While the brake pedal is being depressed.
• When the parking brake is engaged.
• When the system determines that its per-
formance has been degraded due to con-
taminants adhered to the sensor.
• When there is any abnormality in the sys-
tem.
To increase the set speed
There are two ways to increase the set speed.
By using the “RES +” switch:
The set speed increases by 1 km/h (1 mph) every time you push up the “RES +” switch
while the ACC control is working. If you hold the switch pushed up, the set speed in-creases in 5 km/h (3 mph) increments.
NOTEl There is some time lag between the setting
to a new speed and actually accelerating tothat speed.
l Speed setting operation is possible even in
presence of a vehicle in front. In this case, however, the set speed alone increases with-
out actual acceleration taking place.
l When the switch is held pushed, a buzzer
sounds every time the set speed changes.CAUTIONl The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.
By using the accelerator pedal:
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
while driving with the ACC control working,you can accelerate the vehicle temporarily
beyond the presently set speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*
7-50OGGE16E1Starting and driving7

At the point where the vehicle speed is raisedto your desired speed, push down and release
the “SET -” switch; the new speed is then set
in the system.CAUTIONl The ACC braking control and proximity
alarm functions will not work while the ac- celerator pedal is depressed.NOTEl The set speed indication on the display turns
to “---” when the accelerator pedal is de- pressed. This indication remains as long as
the pedal is in a depressed position.
l The ACC control at the original set speed re-
sumes as soon as you release the accelerator
pedal. Under certain conditions, however,
the braking control and alarming functions of ACC may not work for a short while afterreleasing the accelerator pedal.NOTEl Set speed adjustment is impossible while the
accelerator pedal is in a depressed position.
To decrease the set speed
There are two ways to decrease the set speed.
By using the “SET -” switch:
The set speed decreases by 1 km/h (1 mph) every time you push down the “SET -”switch while the ACC control is working. If
you hold the switch pushed down, the set
speed decreases in increments of 5 km/h (3 mph).
NOTEl There is some time lag between setting to a
new speed and actually decelerating to that
speed.NOTEl If there is a vehicle in front and your vehicle
is following that vehicle at a speed lower
than the set speed, the set speed alone de- creases with no actual deceleration taking
place.
l When the switch is held pushed, a buzzer
sounds every time the set speed changes.CAUTIONl The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.
By using the brake pedal:
If you depress the brake pedal while the ACC
control is working, the control is cancelled,allowing you to decelerate the vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*
7-51OGGE16E1Starting and driving7

At the point where the vehicle slows down toyour desired speed, push down the “SET -”
switch; the new speed is then set in the sys- tem.NOTEl The ACC control is cancelled if you depress
the brake pedal and the ACC control does
not resume even when you release the pedal.To temporarily accelerate the
vehicle
Simply depress the accelerator pedal to tem- porarily accelerate the vehicle. Releasing the
pedal automatically slows down the vehicle to the set speed and ACC restarts its control.
CAUTIONl The ACC braking control and proximity
alarm functions will not work while the ac- celerator pedal is depressed.
l The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.NOTEl The set speed indication on the display turns
to “---” when the accelerator pedal is de- pressed. This indication remains as long as
the pedal is in a depressed position.NOTEl In certain conditions, the braking control and
alarming functions of ACC may not workfor a short while after releasing the accelera-
tor pedal.
l Set speed adjustment is impossible while the
accelerator pedal is in a depressed position.
To terminate ACC control
To cancel of ACC control
You can cancel the ACC control by using ei-
ther of the methods below.

When the control is cancelled, the system is placed in the ‘standby state’. You can makethe system restart the control by using the
“SET -” or “RES +” switch if the conditions for activating the control are met.
l Press the “CANCEL” switch.

lDepress the brake pedal.NOTElYou can also cancel the ACC control by
pressing the “ACC ON/OFF” switch. If thisswitch is pressed, ACC is turned off.
When the system shifts into the ‘standby
state’ as a result of cancellation of the ACC
control, the“ SET” indicator goes out. At the same time, the display of the following dis-
tance setting and running-ahead vehicle sym- bol (only when ACC is detecting a vehicle) is
placed in the standby state of display.
The ACC control is automatically cancelled
and the ACC is placed in the ‘standby’ state
in any of the situations listed below; you are
alerted to this condition by the sound of a
buzzer and a message on the display. You can make the system restart the control by us-ing the “SET -” or “RES +” switch if the con-
ditions for resuming the control are reestab-
lished.
l When your vehicle stops as the vehicle
in front stops.
l When ASC is turned off.
l When ABS, ASC or TCL is in operation.
lWhen the select position is in the “P”
(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE) or the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.WARNINGl Although the set speed driving will be de-
activated when shifting to the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position, never move the selector
lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position
while using regenerative braking as it could cause a serious accident.
l When the parking brake is engaged.
l When the ACC is self-cancelled because
the system determines that its perform- ance has declined and it cannot operate
temporarily due to the following situa- tions, the driver is informed by a buzzer
and an indication on the screen. • Under adverse weather conditions
(rain, snow, sand storms, etc.).
• When the sensor is dirty or blocked by
snow and ice.
• When a preceding or oncoming vehi-
cle splashes water, snow or sand in front of the sensor.
• The brake pads are overheating.
• When you are driving in light traffic
with few vehicles and obstacles in front.
When the ACC returns to normal opera-
tion, the indicator is cancelled. If the in-
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*

dicator continues, there may be a fault in
the system. Please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
l When some problem occurs with the
system. (In this situation, the ACC con-
trol is automatically cancelled and the system is turned off. You are alerted to
this situation by the sound of a buzzer and a message on the display. If the mes-
sage remains displayed even after setting the operation mode to “ON”, please con-
tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.)
l When some other condition which cau-
ses the control to terminate occurs. (This situation may indicate a fault. Turn off
ACC and please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.)

To turn off ACC
Press the “ACC ON/OFF” switch when ACC is in the ‘ON state’ to turn off ACC.
NOTEl Pressing the switch turns off the ACC even
if it is engaged.
l The set speed is cancelled when the ACC is
turned off or the operation mode is set to
“OFF”.
l If the ACC is in the ‘ON state’ when the op-
eration mode is set to “OFF”, the system is set to the ‘OFF state’ when the operation
mode is set to “ON” next time.
To resume the control
After cancelling the ACC control (i.e. placing
the system in the ‘standby state’) by pressing the “CANCEL” switch or depressing the
brake pedal, you can resume the ACC control
at the originally set speed if you push up the “RES -” switch.

NOTElThe conditions to be met before the ACC
control can be resumed are the same as those for starting the ACC control.
To change the following dis-
tance setting
Every time you press the following distance
setting switch, the setting changes sequential- ly through three options “Long”, “Middle”
and “Short”, cycling back to “Long” after “Short”. The distance setting is reset when
the operation mode is set to “OFF” or when the ACC is set to “OFF,” and is automatically
set to “long” when you set the ACC to “ON”
next time.
NOTEl The following distance varies as a function
of the speed; the faster the set speed, the lon- ger the following distance.Following distance setting: “Long”Following distance setting: “Middle”Following distance setting: “Short”
To activate cruise control (auto-
matic speed control)
If you hold the “ACC ON/OFF” switch
pressed with the operation mode set to “ON” and the ACC in the ‘OFF state’, the cruisecontrol is activated. The information screen
of the multi-information display then changes to the cruise control screen and a buzzersounds at the same time.
Cruise control is turned off if you set the op-
eration mode to “OFF”.

system)” on page 7-34CAUTIONl Cruise control (automatic vehicle speed con-
trol system) does not alert by proximity
alarm and control distance between vehicles to the vehicle in front.Forward Collision
Mitigation System (FCM)* E00635101126
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 in
danger of colliding against the vehicle almost
straight from behind, it gives you visual and
audible alarms (Forward collision warning function), increases the brake fluid pressure
(FCM brake prefill function), and also pro- vides braking force assistance when you de-press the brake pedal (FCM brake assist func-
tion) to avoid frontal collision.
Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM)*
7-55OGGE16E1Starting and driving7

When the risk of collision increases more, thesystem causes the brakes to work moderately to encourage you to apply brakes. If the sys-
tem judges that a potential collision is immi- nent, it initiates emergency braking to miti-gate collision-caused damages or to avoidpossible collision (FCM braking function).
Stop lamps are illuminated during automatic
braking.
If you turn the FCM ON/OFF, the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System also turns
ON/OFF at the same time. (Vehicle is equip- ped with the Ultrasonic misacceleration Miti-
gation System.)WARNINGl A driver is responsible for driving safely.
The FCM is the system to mitigate colli-sion-caused damages or to avoid collisionsas much as possible.
The system is not intended to compensate
for driver’s loss of attention to the front during driving due to distraction or care-
lessness or supplement a drop in visibility
due to the rain and fog.
It is never a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always be ready to applythe brakes manually.
l The FCM works to avoid 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, ac-
celeration and braking operations, so that
the performance the function can deliver
is not always the same.
If your vehicle is in danger of collision,
take all necessary collision-evading ac- tions, such as depressing the brake pedal strongly regardless of whether the systemis activated or not.Forward collision warning
function
E00635401031
If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function warns you of the potential haz-
ard with visual and audible alarms.
When this function is triggered, a buzzer
sounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE” message appears on the information screen of
the multi-information display.CAUTIONl This function does not work for a vehicle in
front which is moving extremely slower than
your vehicle.
l Under certain conditions, the audible alarm
may not work at all or may be scarcely audi-
ble. Do not overly rely on the system; if your
vehicle is in danger of collision, take all nec- essary collision-evading actions, such as de-
pressing the brake pedal strongly regardless of whether the system is activated or not.
