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 buzzersounds 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” When the parking brake is applied.
When the ACC system determines that its performance has been degraded, a buzzer willsound and a message will
be displayed in the
multi information display. 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 or 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 system is overheating due to continuous brake control on long down-hill slope.
NOTE
 You can also cancel the ACC control by pressing the “ACC ON/OFF” switch. If thisswitch is pressed while the ACC is “ON”,the ACC will be turned off.

The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of a collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian straight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM usesa sensor (A) to determine the distance and relative speed to a vehicle and a pedestrian in front. The FCM is not designed as an auto-matic driving system or as a collision avoid- ance system. When your vehicle is approaching a vehicleor a pedestrian strai
ght-ahead in your path
To activate conventional cruise control

NOTE
 The conventional crui
se control does not
sound or display the approach alarm, will notadjust your vehicle sp
eed, and does not con-
trol the distance betw
een your vehicle and a
vehicle in front.

When the FCM system determines that its performance has been degraded, the FCMwill become inoperative. This can occur when  Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow, ice, mist or dew condensation adhere to thewindshield of the sensor portion.  In adverse weather
conditions, such as
rain, snow, sand storms, etc. A front vehicle or an oncoming vehicle is splashing water, snow or dirt.
“DRIVER ASSISTANCE CAMERA BLOCKED” message will appear and the indicator will appear
on the information
screen of the multi-information display. When the sensor performance returns, the FCM functions will resume operation.If the message continue
s showing, there is a
possibility that the sensor has a malfunction. Contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer for inspection of the sensor.
NOTE
 Actual distance which
triggers the forward
collision warnings will vary depending onyour vehicle speed a
nd the front vehicle
speed. The distance
will become longer
when the vehicle speeds are higher.  The distance which will trigger the FCM braking function cannot be adjusted.
When a problem is detected

NOTE
 The “DRIVER ASSISTANCE CAMERA BLOCKED” message
may temporarily
appear on the information screen when the sensor cannot detect a
vehicle, a pedestrian
or an object within range. This is not a mal- function. When a vehicle or an object comes within range, the FCM function will resumeand the message will go off.

The sensor (A) is located inside the wind- shield as shown in the illustration. The sensor is shared in the following sys-tems:  FCM  Lane Departure Warning (LDW)  Automatic high beam system
NOTE
If the sensor or its surrounding area becomes extremely high temperature when parkingthe vehicle under a blazing sun, the “FCMSERVICE REQUIRED” message may appear. After the temperature of the sensor or its sur-rounding area has been in range, if the mes- sage remains even afte
r restarting the engine,
please contact an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
Handling of the sensor

CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the FCM, LDW and Automatic high beam system;• Always keep clea
n the windshield.
If the inside of the windshield where the sensor is installed be
comes dirty or fogged,
contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.• Do not apply an impact or load on the sen-sor or its surrounding area.
• Do not put anything including a sticker or film on the windshield in front of or sur-rounding the area of the sensor.• Do not attempt to deta
ch or disassemble the
sensor.• If the windshield is misted, remove the mistfrom the windshield by using the defogger switch.• Maintain the wiper blades in good condi-tion. Refer to “Wiper blades” on page 9-44.When replacing the wi
per blades, use only
Mitsubishi Motors Genui
ne parts or equiva-
lent.• Do not dirty or da
mage the sensor.
• Do not spray glass cleaner on the sensor. Also, do not spill liqui
d, such as a bever-
age, to the sensor.• Do not install an electronic device, such asantenna, or a device th
at emits strong elec-
tric waves, near the sensor.• Always use tires of the same size, sametype and same brand,
and which have no
significant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspensions.CAUTION

 If the windshield on the sensor or in the sur- rounding area of the sensor is cracked orscratched, the sensor
may not detect an
object properly. This
could cause a serious
accident. Turn off the FCM and have your vehicle inspected as
soon as possible at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you need to replace
the windshield, con-
tact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. The sensor emits infrared rays when the operation mode is in ON. Do not look intothe sensor by using op
tical goods such as a
magnifying glass. The infrared ray might injure your eyes.
