lWhen your vehicle stops as the vehicle
in front stops.
l When ASC is turned off.
l When ABS, ASC or TCL is in operation.
l When the select position is in the “P”
(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE) or the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l When the parking brake is applied.
WARNINGlAlthough 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.
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:
l Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or
ice, adhere to the surface of the sensor.
l There are adverse weather conditions,
such as rain, snow or sand storms, etc.
l A vehicle in front or an oncoming vehi-
cle is splashing water, snow or dirt.
l Driving on a nonbusy road with a few
vehicles and obstacles in front.
l The brake system is overheating due to
continuous brake control on long down- hill road.
If the display keeps showing the message,
there is a possibility that the ACC has a mal-
function. Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
When the ACC system detects an abnormali-
ty in the system, the ACC system will be turned off, a buzzer will sound and a message
will be displayed in the multi information display.
If the message remains after the operation
mode has been turned to the “OFF” position
and then turned back to the “ON” position, contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.

NOTE
l
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. NOTE
l
The
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. NOTE
l
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 cruise control is activated. The information screen
of the multi-information display then changes to the cruise control screen and a buzzer
sounds at the same time.

Mitigation System (FCM)* E00635101171
The FCM uses a sensor (A) to determine thedistance and relative speed to a vehicle and apedestrian in front.
When your vehicle is approaching a vehicle
or a pedestrian straight-ahead in your path
and the FCM judges that there is the risk of a collision, the system gives audible and visualwarnings (forward collision warning func-
tion), 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.
When the risk of collision increases more, the
system 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 avoid
possible 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. (Vehicles equip-ped with the Ultrasonic misacceleration Miti-
gation System.)
Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM)*
7-64OGGE17E1Starting and driving7

WARNINGlA 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 frontduring 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 apply
the 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 system is activated or not.
l Never attempt to test the operation of the
FCM. Doing so could cause an accident,
resulting in serious injury or death.Forward collision warning
function
E00635401129
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function warns you of
the potential hazard 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.
The forward collision warning function oper- ates at the following vehicle speed:
l Against a vehicle: Approximately
15 km/h (9 mph) to 140 km/h (87 mph).
l Against a pedestrian: Approximately
7 km/h (5 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).
CAUTIONl 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.FCM brake prefill function
E00635201055
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function prefills the
brake line with additional brake fluid to make
the brakes more responsive to your brake pedal operation.
The FCM brake prefill function operates at
the following vehicle speed:
l Against a vehicle: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).
l Against a pedestrian: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).
FCM brake assist function
E00635301072
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function deploys the
brake assist sooner than the brake assist oper- ation.
Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM)*
7-65OGGE17E1Starting and driving7

The FCM brake assist function operates atthe following vehicle speed:
l Against a vehicle: Approximately
15 km/h (9 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).
l Against a pedestrian: Approximately
15 km/h (9 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).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
E00635501380
If the system judges that there is a high risk
of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a
pedestrian in front, the system applies the
brakes moderately 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 forwardcollision 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.
The FCM braking function operates at the
following vehicle speed:
l Against a vehicle: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).
l Against a pedestrian: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).
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.
• When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenly
cuts in front of your vehicle.
• When the distance from a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front is extremely short.
• To an oncoming vehicle.
• When the select position is in the “P”
(PARK) or the “R” (REVERSE) position.
• When the FCM has detected a problem in
the system.
l If the ASC is deactivated, the FCM braking
function will not operate. Refer to “Active
Stability Control (ASC)” on page 7-40.
l The FCM may or may not detect a motorcy-
cle, bicycle or wall depending on the situa-
tion. The FCM is not designed to detect these objects.
l The forward collision warning function
and/or the FCM braking function may not
activate in the following situations.
• When a vehicle suddenly appear 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.

CAUTIONlFactors 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.

This switch is used to turn on and off the
FCM and Ultrasonic misaccelration Mitiga-
tion System and also to select your desired collision alarm timing.
When the switch is held pressed, the ON/OFF state of the FCM and Ultrasonic misaccelration 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 timing.
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 misacceleration Mitigation System ON/OFF switch pressed when the operationmode is set to “ON”.
Once the system is turned on, the information
screen of the multi-information display shows the collision alarm timing currently se- lected, and the
indicator on the screen
goes out.
When you turn off the system, the following message appears on the screen and the
in-
dicator comes on.
Cycling the operation mode to ON will set
the FCM back ON.
NOTEl The indicator is combined with the “Ul-
trasonic misacceleration Mitigation System OFF” indicator.
To change alarm timing
