• If windshield wipers are not Mitsubishi Motors Genuine parts or equivalent. • When the sensor becomes extremely hot or cold.• If the battery becomes weak or runsdown.• When the sensor is affected by stronglight, such as direct sunlight or the head-lights of an oncoming vehicle.
 The FCM may not detect a pedestrian in certain situations. Some of these include:• If the pedestrian is shorter than approxi-mately 3.2 feet (1 m) or taller than approximately 6.5 feet (2 m).• If the pedestrian is wearing loose-fittingclothes.• 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 lieson the road.• When a pedestrian is pushing/pullingsomething, such as a stroller, bicycle orwheelchair.• When pedestrians gather in a group.• When a pedestrian clothing appears tobe nearly the same color or brightness as its surroundings.• When a pedestrian is very close to anobject, such as a vehicle.• When a pedestrian is in a dark area, suchas at night or in a tunnel.WA R N I N G
• When a pedestrian is walking fast orrunning.• When a pedestrian suddenly rushes in front of the vehicle.• When the position of a pedestrian is closeto the edge of the vehicle.
 When the system recognizes driver’s steering or accelerating actions as evasiveactions to avoid a collision, FCM control and alarm functions may be canceled. In certain situations, though there is little or no risk of a collision, the FCM may activate. Examples include: • When overtaking a vehicle.• When driving on a curve.• When there is a road side object (B) thatreflects the radar sensor signal, such as a road sign.• When approaching a gate, a railroad crossing, an underpass, a narrow bridge, manhole lid or a speed bump.• When driving under an overpass orpedestrian bridge.• When driving in a narrow tunnel.• When driving in a parking structure.WA R N I N G

• When approaching a slope where the incline changes significantly.• When trying to stop your vehicle very close to a vehicle or an object in front.• When passing a vehicle, a pedestrian oran object closely.• When a vehicle in the next lane becomes positioned directly in front of your vehi- cle due to winding road conditions.• When passing through an area where objects may contact the vehicle, such as thick grass, tree branches, or a banner.• When there are patterns on the road thatmay be mistaken for a vehicle or a pedes-trian.• When a vehicle cuts into your path in thedetecting range of the sensor.WA R N I N G
• When an oncoming vehicle is positioned straight ahead of your vehicle on a curved road.• When the FCM detects a long object car-ried on your vehicle, such as skis or a roof carrier.• When driving through fog, steam, smokeor dust.
 The FCM should be tuned off if any of the following situations occur:• When using an automatic car wash.• When the tires are not properly inflated. • When the emergency spare tire is used.• When your vehicle is towed or your vehi-cle tows another vehicle.• When your vehicle is carried on a truck.• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna- mometer or free rollers.• If the windshield on or surrounding thesensor is cracked or scratched.NOTE
 When depressing the brake pedal while auto- matic braking is applied, the brake pedal will feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to apply greater braking force.  During the automatic braking, operating sounds may be heard. This is normal. WA R N I N G

Every time the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, the FCM will automatically be turnedon. To turn off the FCM, press and hold the FCM ON/OFF switch. The following message willappear on the information screen of the multi- information display and the indicator will come on in the instrument cluster. To turn on the FCM again, press the FCM ON/OFF switch. The indicator on the instrument cluster will go off, and a current distance mode for the forward collision warn- ing will be shown in the information screenof the multi-information display.
The distance to the vehicle ahead which trig- gers the forward collision warnings can be selected from three levels (FAR, MIDDLE orNEAR). To change the distance mode, push the FCM ON/OFF switch. Every time the switch ispushed, the distance mode will be switched.The selected distance mode is shown on the information screen of the multi-information display. Distance mode: FAR Distance mode: MIDDLE

• Always keep clean the windshield and front
bumper.
If the inside of the windshield where the
sensor is installed becomes dirty or fogged,
contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.• Do not apply an impact or load on the sen-sor or its surrounding area.• Do not put anything including a sticker orfilm to the outer side of windshield in front
of 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 the
sensor 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. {Forward Collision Mitigation

ity (FCM-HSBC) only}CAUTION
• 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.• 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, same
type 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 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.CAUTION

Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (with Lane
Change Assist) (if so equipped) Features and controls 5-113

N00592200082
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 BSW light in the corresponding outside rearview mirror will illuminate. If the turn signal lever is operated to the side where theBSW light is illuminated, the BSW light will blink and the system will beep three times to alert the driver.Depending on the relative speed betweenyour vehicle and a vehicle in the next lane, the BSW will detect up to approximately 230 feet (70 m) from your vehicle (LaneChange Assist).
N00592300100
The BSW uses two sensors (A) located insidethe 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 understand 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.
