The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of acollision with a vehicle or a pedestrianstraight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM usesa sensor (A) to determine the distance andrelative speed to a vehi
cle 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 vehicleor a pedestrian strai
ght-ahead in your path
and the FCM judges that there is the risk of acollision, the system
will give audible and
visual warnings.When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the system will automaticallyapply moderate braking to warn you to applythe brakes immediately. When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
highly unavoidable, th
e 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.

Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (with Lane Change Assist) (if so equipped)
5-126 Features and controls

N00592200040
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving
aid system that alerts the driver when another
vehicle which may not be visible through the
outside rearview mirror is traveling in the
next lane behind your vehicle.
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 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.
• Do not put anything including a sticker or
film to the outer side of the windshield in
front of or surrounding area of the sensor.
Also, do not put anything including a
sticker or film to the inner side of the wind-
shield under the sensor.• Do not attempt to deta ch or disassemble the
sensor.• If the windshield is misted, remove the mist from the windshield by using the defogger
switch.• Maintain the wiper blades in good condi- tion. Refer to “Wiper blades” on page 9-44.
When replacing the wiper blades, use only
Mitsubishi Motors Genuine parts or equiva-
lent.• Do not dirty or damage the sensor.• Do not spray glass cleaner on the sensor.Also, do not spill liquid, such as a bever-
age, to the sensor.• Do not install an elec tronic device, such as
antenna, or a device that emits strong elec-
tric waves, near the sensor.CAUTION
• Always use tires of the same size, same
type and same brand, and which have no
significant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspensions. If the windshield on the sensor or in the sur-
rounding area of the sensor is cracked or
scratched, the sensor may not detect an
object properly. This could cause a serious
accident. Turn off the FCM and have your
vehicle inspected as soon as possible at an
authorized 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 into
the sensor by using optical goods such as a
magnifying glass. The infrared ray might
injure your eyes.Laser radar specifications
