WA R N I N G
• When driving on a winding road. Never use the ACC in the following situa- tions:• In heavy traffic.• On winding roads.• On slippery roads, such as icy, snow-cov- ered or dirt roads.• In adverse weather conditions, such asrain, snow or sand storms, etc.• On steep downslopes.• When the inclination of a road fre- quently changes.• When the approach alarm frequentlysounds.• When your vehicle is towed or is towinganother vehicle.• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna-mometer or free rollers.• When tire inflation pressures are notadequate.• When the temporary spare tire is beingused.• When the radar sensor and/or its sur-rounding area are damaged or deformed.WA R N I N G
CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the ACC:• Always clean the surface of the radar sen- sor.• Avoid impacting the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.• Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor orits surrounding area.• Do not paint the radar sensor.• Do not install a grill guard.• Do not modify the radar sensor or its sur- rounding area.• Always use tires of the same size, sametype, and same brand, and which have nosignificant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.

If a problem occurs with the system, a visual warning specific to the type of the problem is given together with an audible alarm. The warnings are combined with the RearCross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system.
N00592700045
When the warning display appears, the BSW does not operate normally because there are some malfunctions in the system or the sen-sor. Have the vehicle inspected at an autho-rized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer as soon as
possible.
N00592800046
When the warning display appears, the sensor is temporarily not available for some reasonsuch as the environmental condition orincrease of the sensor temperature. When the warning display does not disappear after waiting for a while, contact an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer.

Parking sensors (Front/Rear) (if so equipped) 5-124 Features and controls
5
“Normal mode” and “Towing hitch mode” for a vehicle equipped with a towing hitch can be selected.
The detection areas are within approximately 24 inches (60 cm) (A) from the front and cor- ner sensors and 49 inches (125 cm) (B) from the back sensors.
If your vehicle is equipped with a towing hitch and part of the towing hitch is close to the center sensors (e. g. European type towing hitch), the center sensor may detect the tow-ing hitch and the alarm beeps may sound though there is no obstacle behind the vehi- cle. To avoid this detection, the parking sen-sors can be switched to the towing hitch mode. The detection areas are within approximately24 inches (60 cm) (A) from the front and cor-ner sensors, and 49 inches (125 cm) (B) from the back sensors. The system will not detect the areas (C), within approximately 8 inches(20 cm) (D) from the rear bumper.
Detection areas

WA R N I N G The detection areas described below are for reference only. The actual detection areas may vary depending on the shape, size and position of the object beingdetected. Certain objects may not be detected, even if the object is within the detection area described below. Also falsealerts may sound depending on the sur- rounding environment.

When the engine switch is tuned on, the park- ing sensors will be automatically tuned onand the operation indi
cator light (A) will be
illuminated. To turn off the parking sensors, press the“SONAR” switch. The operation indicator light will go off. To turn back on the parking sensors, press the“SONAR” switch again.
When a sensor detects an object;  The system will alarm the driver by inter- mittent beeps. As the vehicle moves closer to the object, the alarm will switch to shorter beeps andthen to a continuous beep. When the vehicle is too close to an object, the alarm may no longer sound or it mayreturn to intermittent beeps from a contin-uous beep.  Also, in the multi-information display, an indicator corresponding to the sensordetecting the object will be blinking.
NOTE
 The ultrasonic sensors do not detect objects in areas directly below or very close to the bumpers. If the height of an object is lower than the sensors, the sensors may not con- tinue detecting it while the vehicle isapproaching the object,
even if the sensors
have initially detected it.

If your vehicle is equipped with a towinghitch and part of the towing hitch is close tothe center sensors (e. g. European type towing hitch), the center sensor may detect the tow- ing hitch and alarm beeps may sound thoughthere is no obstacle behind the vehicle. To avoid this detection, the parking sensors can be switched to the towing hitch mode. To switch to the towing hitch mode; While the selector lever is in the “R”(REVERSE) position, turn off the parking sensors by pressing the “SONAR” switch, then press and hold the “SONAR” switchapproximately 3 seconds or more and release it. A buzzer will sound twice to indicate the detection mode is switched to the towinghitch mode. To turn on the parking sensors, press the “SONAR” switch again. To return to the normal mode; While the selector lever is in the “R”(REVERSE) position, turn off the parking sensors by pressing the “SONAR” switch, then press and hold the “SONAR” switchapproximately 3 seconds or more and release it. A buzzer will sound once to indicate the detection mode is returned to the normalmode. To turn on the parking sensors, press the “SONAR” switch again.

Combination headlights and dimmer switch
Features and controls 5-193
5
The sensitivity of the sensor can be temporar- ily lowering in the following ways. 1. Park your vehicle in a safe place and the ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position or the operation mode is put inOFF.
NOTE
 The headlights may not be switched from high beam to low beam under the following circumstances. • A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is hindered by any object such as continuous bends, elevated median/island, traffic signs, roadside trees. • Your vehicle passes an oncoming vehicle suddenly on a bend with poor visibility. • Another vehicle crosses ahead of your vehi- cle.
 The headlights may remain at low beam (or be switched from high beam to low beam)when a reflective object
(e.g. street light,
traffic signal, noticeboard and signboard) reflects light.  Any of the following factors may influence the headlight beam switching timing: • How brightly the exteri
or lights of a vehicle
in front or oncoming vehicle illuminate. • Movement or direction of a vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle. • Only right or left exterior light of a vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is illuminat-ing. • A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is a motorcycle. • Road conditions (gradient, bends and road surface). • The number of occupants and luggage load.
 The AHB recognizes environmental condi- tions by sensing a light source ahead of your vehicle. Therefore, you may feel like some- thing is not quite right when the headlight beams are switched automatically.  The system may not detect a light vehicle such as a bicycle.  The system may not detect an ambient brightness precisely. This causes the trafficto be dazzled by high beam or the low beam to be maintained. In such cases, you should switch the headlight beams manually. • In bad weather (heavy rain, fog, snow or sandstorm). • The windshield is dirty or fogged up. • The windshield is cracked or broken. • The sensor is deformed or dirty.• A light, which is similar to the headlights or tail lights, is shining around your vehicle. • A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is driven without lights, the exterior lights aredirty or discolored, or the direction of the headlight beams is adjusted improperly. • It becomes dark and bright suddenly and continuously around your vehicle. • Your vehicle is driven on uneven surfaces. • Your vehicle is driven on a winding road.• A reflective object such as a noticeboard or a mirror reflects a light ahead of your vehi- cle.NOTE
• When lights of the vehicle in front or head-lights of an oncoming vehicle blend into the other lights. • The rear end of a vehicle in front (such as a container truck) reflect a strong light. • Your vehicle's headlight
is broken or dirty.
• Your vehicle is inclined due to a flat tire or towing. • The warning display appears. (Refer to “System problem warning” onpage 5-194.)
 Observe the precautions below to maintain good usage conditions: • Do not attempt to disassemble the sensor.• Do not affix a sticker or label on the wind- shield near the sensor. • Avoid overload. • Do not modify your vehicle. • When the windshield is replaced, use the Mitsubishi Motors genuine parts.
