Overuse of the brake can cause weakening, resulting in poor brake response and prema- ture wear of the brake pads.When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by downshifting.
N00517600364
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking force with less brake pedaleffort. Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power
assist is not being
used. If the power assist is not being used, the effort needed to press the brake pedal is greater.If you should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit
or either of the two
brake hydraulic systems stops working prop- erly, the rest of the br
ake system will still
work, but the vehicle will not slow down asquickly. You will know this has happened if you find you need to press the brake down farther, orharder when slowing down or stopping, or if the brake warning light and the warning dis- play in the multi-information display comeon.

The disc brakes have an alarm that makes ametallic squeal when the brake pads haveworn down enough to need service. If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WA R N I N G Do not crank the engine while jacking up the vehicle.The tire on the ground may turn and the vehicle may roll off the jack.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke that would be necessary in anemergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place.
CAUTION It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required. This practice can result in very high brake temperatures, pre- mature lining wear, and possible damage tothe brakes.
Power brakes
WA R N I N G Never coast downhill with the engine OFF. Keep the engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the engine while driving, the power brake booster will stop working and your brakeswill not work as well. If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic system stops working properly, take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice immediately.
Brake pad wear alarm
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.

When the ACC no longer detects a vehicle in front, the buzzer will sound, the vehicle sym- bol in the display will disappear and your vehicle will slowly accelerate to the setspeed.
N00576900052
While the ACC is activated, if your vehicle isapproaching too closely to the vehicle infront, the ACC gives a warning by sounding a buzzer and displaying a message. Apply the brakes to maintain the appropriate distance tothe vehicle in front.
WA R N I N G Never leave your vehicle while the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state. When leaving the vehicle, apply the parking brake and move the selector leverto the “P” (PARK) position.NOTE
 When the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state, the stop lights will illumi-nate.  While the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state, the vehicle will not start moving again unless you press the “RES+” switch or depress the accelerator pedal.  When depressing the brake pedal while the automatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to apply greater braking force.  During the automatic braking, operation sounds may be heard. This is normal.  If the turn-signal lever is operated while the ACC is active, the system may accelerate the vehicle to assist you in passing a vehicle in front.
 If the vehicle in front starts moving within 2 seconds after stopping, your vehicle will start moving.WA R N I N G Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set speed in the following situations. Apply the brake, if necessary, to slow down.• When your vehicle no longer follows thevehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit or when your vehicle or the vehicle in frontchanges its lane.NOTE
• When driving on a curve. When the vehicle in front has changed its course or lane, if a stationary vehicle appears in front your vehicle, the ACC will not decelerate your vehicle.

There are two ways to increase the set speed. The set speed will increase by 1 mph (1.6 km/h) every time you push up the“RES +” switch while the ACC is activated. If you hold the switch pushed up, the set speed increases in 5 mph (8 km/h) incre-ments.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed while driving with the ACC control working,you can accelerate the vehicle beyond the presently set speed.
When the vehicle speed reaches your desired speed, push down and release the “SET -” switch and release the accelerator pedal; the new speed is then set in the system.
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.
To increase the set speed

By using the “RES +” switch:

NOTE
 There is some time lag until the vehicle begins accelerating to the new set speed after the set speed has been changed.  The set speed can be changed even while your vehicle is following a vehicle in frontusing the ACC. In this case, however, although the set speed itself is increased, your vehicle will not accelerate.  While the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state, the vehicle speed cannotbe set.
By using the accelerator pedal:

WA R N I N G The ACC braking control and approach alarm functions will not work while the accelerator pedal is depressed.NOTE
 The set speed indicator in the multi-informa- tion display will show “---” while the accel- erator pedal is depressed.  If the “SET -” button is not pushed down while depressing the accelerator pedal, yourvehicle speed will return to the set speed, after the accelerator pedal is released.

There are two ways to cancel the ACC con- trol.  By pressing the “CANCEL” switch.  By depressing the brake pedal.
When the ACC is canceled, the “SET” indi- cator goes off and the following distance indi-cator turns to the standby display. The front vehicle indicator also turns to the standby dis- play when a front vehicle is detected.
In any of the situations listed below, the ACC control is automatically canceled, a buzzer sounds and a message is shown in informa- tion screen of the multi-information display. If the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state, it will also be automatically can- celed and the Electric parking brake will operate.  When the ASC is turned off.  While ABS, ASC or TCL is activated.  When the selector lever is in a position other than “D” (DRIVE).  When the parking brake is applied.  When the driver’s seat belt is unfastened.  When the driver’s door is opened.  When the ACC no longer detects any vehicle in front while it is in the stationaryvehicle hold state.  When the vehicle is in the stationary vehi- cle hold state for 10 minutes or more.
NOTE
 The set speed indication on the display turns to “---” when the accelerator pedal is depressed. This indication remains as long as the pedal is in a depressed position.  In certain conditions, the braking control and alarming functions of ACC may not work for a short while after releasing the acceleratorpedal.
To cancel ACC control

NOTE
 You can also cancel the ACC control by pressing the ACC ON/OFF switch. If this switch is pressed while the ACC is ON, the ACC will be turned off.  If you press the “CANCEL” switch or ACC ON/OFF switch to cancel the stationary vehicle hold state, the vehicle will startcreeping.

Forward Collision Mitigation sy
stem (FCM) (if so equipped) Features and controls 5-105

N00577400083
If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or the pedestrian in front, this function warns you of the potential hazard with visual and audiblealarms. When this function is triggered, a buzzer sounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE”message appears on the information screen ofthe multi-information display. The FCM will also prepare to provide quick brake response and greater brake force whenyou apply the brakes. The forward collision warning function oper- ates at the following vehicle speeds:  Against a vehicle: Approximately 10 to 87 mph (15 to 140 km/h). Against a pedestrian: Approximately 5 to 40 mph (7 to 65 km/h).
 Against a vehicle: Approximately 10 to 112 mph (15 to 180 km/h). Against a pedestrian: Approximately 5 to 40 mph (7 to 65 km/h).
 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 systemmay 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 ofwhether 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.WA R N I N G
