FCM brake prefill function
E00635200016
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function prefills the brake line with addi- tional brake fluid to make the brakes more re-
sponsive to your brake pedal operation.
FCM brake assist function
E00635301027
If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function deploys the brake assist sooner than the brake assist operation.
CAUTIONl The brake assist function may not be trig-
gered when the brake pedal is operated in certain ways.
Do not overly rely on the system; if your ve-
hicle is in danger of collision, take all neces-
sary collision-evading actions, such as de-
pressing the brake pedal strongly regardless of whether the system is activated or not.FCM braking function
E00635501289
If the system judges that there is a high risk
of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in
front, the system applies the brakes moder-
ately to encourage you to apply the brakes.
If the system judges that a collision is un-
avoidable, it initiates emergency braking con-trol to mitigate collision-caused damages or,
if the situation permits, to avoid a collision.
When the emergency braking control is trig- gered, you are warned of the hazard with vis-
ual and audible alarms like with the Forward collision warning function.
Once the emergency braking has worked, you
are alerted to this by a message on the infor- mation screen of the multi information dis- play.CAUTIONl Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.
l After your vehicle has stopped following the
activation of the FCM, automatic braking is
released. As the vehicle will then start creep-
ing, be sure to depress the brake pedal to
hold the vehicle stationary.CAUTIONl When applying the brake during the auto-
matic braking condition the pedal will feel firm.
This is not abnormal.
You can apply more pressure to the pedal to
assist in braking.
l In the following situations, the system pro-
vides neither control nor alarming.
• The vehicle in front of your vehicle is
moving at a speed much lower than your
vehicle’s speed.
• When a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of
your vehicle.
• When the distance from a vehicle in front
is extremely short.
• To an oncoming vehicle.
• When your vehicle’s speed is much low-
er.
• When the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE), or the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.

CAUTION•When the system is faulty (if the system
self-detects any fault, the “FCM SERV- ICE REQUIRED” message is indicated
and the “FCM OFF” indicator lights up on the information screen of the multi in- formation display).
If the message remains after the operation
mode has been turned to the “OFF” posi- tion and then turned back to the “ON” po-
sition, contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.

l Braking function will not work in the fol-
lowing situations.
• Your vehicle is driving at approximately
30 km/h (19 mph) or faster while the ve-
hicle in front is stationary or moving ex- tremely slowly.
• ASC is OFF.
l The forward collision warning function
and/or the FCM braking function may not
activate in the following situations.
CAUTION• When a motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian,
animal, fallen objects, or anything other
than a vehicle is present in front of your vehicle.
• When a vehicle suddenly appears just in
front of your vehicle.
• When a vehicle cuts in front of your vehi-
cle very closely.
• When the vehicle in front is offset to the
left or right.
• When the vehicle in front is towing a
trailer.
• A freight trailer that is not carrying a con-
tainer.
• The vehicle has a protruding load from
the carrier.
• The vehicle has a low vehicle height.

clearance.
• When there is a different object near the
vehicle.
• When driving on a road with many and
successive curves, including when pass-
ing their entrances and outlets.
• When accelerating and decelerating
quickly.
• When the system recognizes driver’s
steering, accelerating, braking or gear
shifting actions as evasive actions to
avoid collision.
• When you are driving on a road with
steep and alternating up and down slopes.CAUTION• When a road surface is surging, and there
is unevenness.
• When being driven in a tunnel.
• When your vehicle changed lanes, and
your vehicle approached immediately be- hind the vehicle in front.
• During a certain time after your vehicle
turns left or right.
• When you are carrying extremely heavy
loads in the rear seats or luggage area.
• After the engine has been running for an
extended period of time.
• Under adverse weather conditions (rain,
snow, sand storms, etc.)*
• When the cover part in front of the sensor
and the sensor become dirty or have snow
and ice adhering to it*.
• When water, snow or sand on the road are
extorted by the vehicle in front or an on- coming vehicle*.
*: When judging the state that detection per- formance deterioration and the FCM can’t operate temporarily by these situations auto-
matically, “FCM TEMPORARILY NOT
AVAILABLE” message is indicated, and a “FCM OFF” indicator lights up.
Additionally, it may be indicated in the fol- lowing situations.
• When the brake is over heating.
• When you are driving in light traffic with
few vehicles and obstacles in front.
When the FCM will be in the state which
can operate, indication is released automati-

CAUTIONcally. When the indication keeps going out,there is an abnormality in the system. Please
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
l Factors such as the positional relationship
between your vehicle and a vehicle in front,
driver’s own technique of steering the vehi-
cle and irregularly moving traffic due to ac-
cidents or vehicle trouble may deter the
FCM control and alarm from functioning.
l When the system recognizes driver’s steer-
ing or accelerating actions as evasive actions to avoid collision, the FCM control and
alarm functions may be cancelled.
l The FCM control and alarm functions may
be triggered in the following situations.
CAUTION• When there is a structure (B) beside the
entrance of a curve and intersection.
• When running on a narrow iron bridge.
• When passing through a gate with small
head or side clearances.
• When there are metallic objects, steps or
projections on the road surface.
• When quickly approaching a vehicle in
front to overtake it.
• When passing an electronic toll collection
gate.

destrian overpass or a small tunnel.
• When running in Multi-storey car park.
• When the road gradiently and suddenly
changes while running.
• When stopping very close to a wall or a
vehicle in front.
CAUTION• When passing close to a vehicle or an ob-
ject.
• When driving on the road that the vehicle
in front runs in offset position from your
vehicle.
l Turn off the system beforehand when the ve-
hicle is placed in any of the following situa-
tions as the system can operate unexpected- ly.
• When your vehicle’s wheels are driven by
the engine on a lift.

This switch is used to turn on and off the
FCM/Ultrasonic misaccelration Mitigation System and also to select your desired colli-
sion alarm timing.
Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM)*
7-60OGGE16E1Starting and driving7

When the switch is held pressed, theON/OFF state of the FCM/Ultrasonic misac-
celration Mitigation System changes from ON to OFF and vice versa. If you give the switch a short press with the FCM in the ON
state, you can change the collision alarm tim- ing.NOTEl When the FCM and Ultrasonic misaccelera-
tion Mitigation System ON/OFF switch is
held pressed to change the ON/OFF state of the FCM, the ON/OFF state of the Ultrason- ic misacceleration Mitigation System is alsochanged at the same time.To turn on/off the system
You can switch the system from OFF to ON
or ON to OFF if you hold the FCM and Ul-
trasonic misaccelration Mitigation System ON/OFF switch pressed when the operationmode is set to “ON”.
Once the system is turned on, a buzzer
sounds, the information screen of the multi- information display shows the collision alarm
timing currently selected, and the “FCM OFF” indicator on the screen goes out.
When you turn off the system, a buzzer sound and, at the same time, the “FCM OFF”message appears on the screen and the “FCM
OFF” indicator comes on.
The “FCM OFF” indicator is combined with the “Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation-System OFF” indicator.
Cycling the operation mode to ON will set
the FCM back ON.
To change alarm timing
Give a short press to the FCM and Ultrasonic
misaccelration Mitigation System ON/OFF switch to change the timing at which the
frontal collision alarm is triggered. Every time you press the switch, the alarm timingchanges alternately between “FAR” (earlier
alarming) and “NEAR” (later alarming).
As you make selection, the selected alarm timing is displayed on the information screenof the multi-information display. Even after
turning off the FCM or setting the operation mode to “OFF”, the system retains your last
selected alarm timing in memory.

Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System*E00643400033
The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System operates to prevent sudden starts and mitigate collision-caused damages by suppressing the motor output for up to approximately 5 seconds when the system judges that the system has detected a vehicle or obstacles within approximately4 m in front and behind your vehicle and judges that accelerator pedal was depressed promptly and too strongly such as misoperation of it. This system operates when the vehicle is at stop or moving forward or backward at speed of about 10 km/h (6 mph).
When the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System operates, the warning display appears on the information screen of the multi information
display, and the buzzer sounds intermittently. Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System ON/OFF is switched in conjunction with the ON/OFF state of the Forward Collision Mitigation. (Vehicles equipped with Forward Collision Mitigation System)SituationOperation displayBuzzerWhen an obstacle is detected in front of your
vehicle with the select position in the “D”, if
the accelerator pedal is depressed promptly and too strongly, the motor output is sup-
pressed for up to approximately 5 seconds.

Intermittent beeping soundWARNINGlDo not overly rely on the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System. It is never a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always be careful
to operate the accelerator pedal perceiving the environmental conditions. Misoperation can lead to a serious accident.
l As the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System is not a function to keep the stop condition of the vehicle, depress the brake pedal according to
the environmental condition.
l Depending on the situation, the system does not operate even if the vehicle or the obstacle in front and behind your vehicle and this may cause the
vehicle to start suddenly and lead to a serious accident.
l If the vehicle is trapped in the railway crossing because the system is activated as the crossing barrier is misrecognised as an obstacle, escape from
the railway crossing without any panic by one of the following methods.
• Release the foot from the accelerator pedal and lightly depress the pedal again.
• Turn the system OFF. (Continuously press the Forward collision mitigation system (FCM) and Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System
ON/OFF switch for more than 3 seconds.)
• Continuously depress the accelerator pedal for more than 5 seconds.
• Repeat to press the accelerator pedal quickly to its full stroke more than 3 times.
l Do not perform inspection of the system operation on your own. Depending on the situation, this may cause the system to not operate properly and
lead to a serious accident.
