Every time the operation mode is turned to “ON”, the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitiga-tion System will automatically be turned on. In addition, on vehicles equipped with the Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM),the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System and the FCM are simultaneously turned off and on by operating the FCM andUltrasonic misaccelerat
ion Mitigation System
ON/OFF switch. Refer to “FCM and Ultrasonic misaccelera-tion Mitigation System ON/OFF switch” on page 5-122.

The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving aid system that alerts the driver when another vehicle which may not be visible through theoutside rearview mirror is traveling in the next lane behind your vehicle.
NOTE
 The ultrasonic sensors
do not detect objects
in areas directly below or very close to thebumpers. If the height of
an object is lower
than the sensors, the sensors may not con- tinue detecting it wh
ile the vehicle is
approaching the object,
even if the sensors
can initially detect it.

When a vehicle in the next lane is traveling at same speed or faster in the detection areas,the Blind Spot Warning light in the corre- sponding outside rearview
mirror will illumi-
nate. If the turn signal lever is operated to theside where the Blind Spot Warning light is illuminated, the Blind
Spot Warning light will
blink and the system will beep three times toalert the driver. Depending on the speed of your vehicle, the Blind Spot Warning system will detect up to approximately 230 feet (70 m) from your vehicle.
N00592300038
The BSW uses 2 sensors (A) located inside the rear bumper. The detection areas are
shown as illustrated.
WA R N I N GBefore using the BSW, read this entire sec- tion to fully understand the limitations ofthis system. Failure to follow instructions could result in an accident.
 Never rely solely on the BSW system when changing lanes. BSW is an aid only. It isnot a substitute for your safe and carefuldriving. Always check
visually behind and
all around your vehicl
e for other vehicles.
The performance of the BSW may varydepending on driving, traffic and/or road conditions.

foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or ice,adhere to the bumper surface around the sen- sor. Remove a dirt, freezing
or foreign material on
the bumper surface around the sensor. When the warning display does not disappear after having cleaned the bumper surfacearound the sensor, contact an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer.
