this operation of the wipers does not take
place even if the lever is put in the “AUTO” position when the vehicle is stationary and
the ambient temperature is about 0 °C or
lower.
l Do not cover the sensor by affixing a sticker
or label to the windscreen. Also, do not put any water-repellent coating on the wind-screen. The rain sensor would not be able to
detect the extent of rain, and the wipers
might stop working normally.
l In the following cases, the rain sensor may
be malfunctioning.
For further information, we recommend you
to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
• When the wipers operate at a constant in-
terval despite changes in the extent of
rain.NOTE• When the wipers do not operate even
though it is raining.
l The wipers may automatically operate when
things such as insects or foreign objects are affixed to the windscreen on top of the rainsensor or when the windscreen is frozen.
Objects affixed to the windscreen will stop
the wipers when the wipers cannot remove them. To operate the wipers again, move the
lever in the “LO” or “HI” position.
Also, the wipers may operate automatically due to strong direct sunlight or electromag-
netic wave. To stop the wipers, place the lever in the “OFF” position.

If the ABS warning lamp/display and brake warning
lamp/display illuminate at the same timeWarning lampWarning display type 1Warning display type 2
The ABS and brake force distribution func- tion may not work, so hard braking could
make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we rec-
ommend you to have it checked.
NOTEl The ABS warning lamp and brake warning
lamp illuminate at the same time and the
warning displays appear alternately on the information screen in the multi-informationdisplay.After driving on icy roads
E00618800150
After driving on snow or icy roads, remove
any snow and ice which may have accumula-
ted around the wheels. On vehicles that have
an ABS, be careful not to damage the wheel
speed sensors (A) or the cables located at each wheel.

Electric power steering
system (EPS) E00629200226
The power steering system operates while theengine is running. It helps reduce the effort
needed to turn the steering wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-
son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-
cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your ve-hicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.

Mitigation system (FCM)* E00635101315
The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) uses a sensor (A) to determine the
distance and relative speed to a vehicle and a pedestrian in front. When your vehicle is ap-
proaching 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 visual warnings (forward
collision warning function), increases the
brake fluid pressure (FCM brake prefill func- tion), and also provides braking force assis-
tance when you depress the brake pedal (FCM brake assist function) 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.WARNINGl A driver is responsible for driving safely.
The FCM is the system to mitigate colli-sion- caused damages or to avoid colli-
sions as 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 Do not try to confirm the operation of the
FCM. In certain situations, this can cause an accident resulting in serious injury or
death.

parts or equivalent.
• When the sensor becomes extremely hot
or cold.
• If the battery becomes weak or runs
down.
• When the sensor is affected by strong
light, such as direct sunlight or the head-lamps of an oncoming vehicle.
• Under adverse weather conditions (rain,
snow, sand storms, etc.)
• When the windscreen of the sensor por-
tion is covered with dirt, water droplets,
snow and ice, etc.
• When water, snow or sand on the road are
extorted by the vehicle in front or an on- coming vehicle.
l The FCM may not detect a pedestrian in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:
• It the pedestrian is shorter than approxi-
mately 1 m or taller than approximately 2 m.CAUTION• If the pedestrian is wearing loose-fitting
clothes.
• If part of a pedestrian’s body is hidden,
such as when holding an umbrella, large
bag, etc.
• If a pedestrian bends forward, sits or lies
on the road.
• When a pedestrian is pushing/pulling
something, such as a stroller, bicycle or
wheelchair.
• When pedestrians gather in a group.
• When a pedestrian’s clothing appears to
be nearly the same colour or brightness as
its surroundings.
• When a pedestrian is very close to an ob-
ject, such as a vehicle.
• When a pedestrian is in a dark area, such
as at night or in a tunnel.
• When the pedestrian is walking fast or
running.
• When a pedestrian suddenly rushes in
front of the vehicle.
• When the position of a pedestrian is close
to the edge of the vehicle.
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 a collision, the FCM control and
alarm functions may be cancelled.CAUTIONl The FCM control and alarm functions may
be triggered in the following situations.
• 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.
• When running under an overpass, an pe-
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.
