The Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of acollision with a vehicle or a pedestrian straight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM uses a sensor (A) to determine the distance andrelative 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 vehicle or a pedestrian straight-ahead in your pathand the FCM judges that there is the risk of a collision, the system will give audible and visual warnings.When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is imminent, the system will automaticallyapply moderate braking to warn you to apply the brakes immediately.
When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is highly unavoidable, the system will apply emergency braking to reduce the severity ofthe collision and, if possible, to avoid the col- lision. Stop lights are illuminated during automaticbraking.
CAUTION Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for com- pliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitations of this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident. The FCM is designed to help avoid certain frontal collisions or reduce the crash speed in such collisions. It is not a substi-tute for your safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, the system may not operate or may not detect cor-rectly a vehicle or a pedestrian in front. When your vehicle is approaching a vehi- cle or a pedestrian too closely, take all nec-essary actions to avoid a collision, such as braking and steering, regardless of whether the FCM is activated or not.Never rely on the FCM to prevent a colli- sion. Never attempt to test the operation of the FCM. Doing so could cause an accident, resulting in serious injury or death.

If there is a malfunction in the system, a warning will appear on the information screen of the multi-information displaydepending on the situation.
N00594900025
When the FCM system determines that it can-not detect objects properly, the FCM willbecome inoperative. This can occur when:
 Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow, ice, mist or dew condensation adhere to the windshield 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. Driving on a nonbusy road with a few vehicles and obstacles in front.
The following message will appear on the information screen of the multi-information display and the indicator will come on in the instrument cluster. or When the sensor performance returns, the FCM functions will resume operation. If the message continues showing, there is a possibility that the sensor has a malfunction.Contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer for inspection of the sensor.
N00595100024
If the system becomes temporarily unavail-able for some reason, the following messagewill appear on the information screen of the multi-information display, the indicator will come on in the instrument cluster, and the FCM will automatically be turned off. If the message continues showing, there is a possibility that the FCM has a malfunction. Contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer for inspection of the system.
NOTE
 Actual distance which triggers the forward collision warnings will vary depending on your vehicle speed and the front vehiclespeed. The distance will become longer when the vehicle speeds are higher.  The distance which will trigger the FCM braking function cannot be adjusted.

When the camera and radar can- not detect accurately

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 resume and the message will go off.

CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the FCM, LDW and AHB;• Always keep clean the windshield and frontbumper.If the inside of the windshield where the sensor is installed becomes dirty or fogged, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer.
• Do not apply an impact or load on the sen- sor or its surrounding area.• Do not put anything including a sticker or film to the outer side of windshield in frontof or surrounding the area of the sensor. Also, do not put anything including a sticker of film to inner side of the wind-shield under the sensor.• Do not attempt to detach or disassemble thesensor and sensor mounting screw.• The sensor front cover should not be modi-fied or painted.• Do not cover the sensor mounted area witha license plate or anything such as a grill guard, etc.• 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 9-39. When replacing the wiper blades, use only Mitsubishi Motors Genuine parts or equiva-lent.• Do not dirty or damage the sensor.CAUTION
• Do not spray glass cleaner on the sensor. Also, do not spill liquid, such as a bever- age, on the sensor.• Do not install an electronic device, such asan antenna, or a device that emits strong electric 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. If the windshield in front of the sensor or in the surrounding area of the sensor is cracked or scratched, the sensor may not detect anobject properly. This could cause a serious accident. Turn off the FCM and have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible at anauthorized 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 opt
ical goods such as a
magnifying glass. The infrared ray might injure your eyes.

Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (with Lane
Change Assist) (if so equipped)
5-108 Features and controls
5
N00592200053
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. When a vehicle in the next lane is traveling atsame 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 the
side where the Blind Spot Warning light is illuminated, the Blind Spot Warning light will blink and the system will beep three times to alert the driver.Depending on the relative speed between your vehicle and a vehicle in the next lane, the BSW will detect up to approximately230 feet (70 m) from your vehicle (Lane Change Assist).
N00592300054
The BSW uses two 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 understa
nd the limitations of
this system. Failure to follow instructionscould result in an accident.
 Never rely solely on the BSW system when changing lanes. BSW is an aid only. It is not a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always check visually behind and all around your vehicle for other vehicles.The performance of the BSW may vary depending on driving, traffic and/or road conditions.

• When a bicycle carrier or accessory is installed to the rear of the vehicle.• When the sensor is extremely hot or cold (while the vehicle is parked for a longperiod of time under a blazing sun or in cold weather).CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the BSW, follow the instructions below.• Always clean the bumper surface aroundthe sensor.• Avoid impacting the sensor or its surround-ing area.• Do not put a sticker on the sensor or its sur-rounding bumper surface.• Do not paint the sensor or its surroundingbumper surface.• Do not modify the sensor or its surroundingarea.
 If the bumper has experienced an impact, the sensor may have been damaged and the BSWmay not function properly. Have the vehicle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
