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.

WA R N I N G When the ACC is not being used, turn off the system to avoid unexpected ACC acti- vation. Never operate the ACC from outside the vehicle. The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle and/or give the approach alarm in the fol- lowing cases.• When an object other than a vehicle,such as a pedestrian, is in front. • When a malfunction is detected in thesystem.
 The ACC will not decelerate your vehicle in the following cases, but will give the approach alarm.• When the front vehicle is stationary ormoving at an extremely slow speed.• When your brake system has a problem,such as overheating.
 The ACC may not be able to maintain the set speed or the distance to a vehicle infront and may not alert the driver, if the system cannot detect the front vehicle properly. Typical situations include: • When a vehicle cuts into your path at aclose distance.• When a vehicle in front is not completelyin your path.• When a vehicle in front is towing atrailer.• When a motorcycle or a bicycle is infront.
• When a vehicle in front is a truck loaded with freight that protrudes rearward from the cargo bed.• When the height of a vehicle in front isextremely low or the road clearance of the vehicle is extremely high.• When driving on a road with alternatingup and down surfaces.• When driving on a curve.• When driving on a bumpy or rough road.• When driving in a tunnel.• When driving in construction zones.• When the rear of your vehicle is weighed down with the weight of passengers and luggage• For up to 2 minutes after starting driv-ing.• When driving in curved sections of roadincluding their entrance/outlet or run- ning beside a closed lane in a traffic workor similar zone.• When the surface of the sensor is coveredwith dirt, snow, ice, etc.• When a front vehicle or an oncomingvehicle is splashing water, snow or dirt. 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

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. When the accelerator pedal is released, the ACCbraking control and approach alarm func- tions may not immediately work.

 When the system detects the vehicle mov- ing down a slope while the vehicle is in the stationary vehicle hold state.
If the ACC system judges that the stationary vehicle hold state can no longer be main-tained on a steep slope after your vehicle stops when the vehicle in front stops, the sta- tionary vehicle hold state is cancelled and awarning appears on the information screen of the multi-information display. Depress the brake pedal. If the detection performance of the ACC sys- tem has degraded, such as in the following situations, or if the ACC system judges that it can temporarily not operate, the ACC systemoperation will be cancelled automatically, and then a buzzer will sound and a message will appear to inform the driver.
This can occur when  The brake system is overheating due to continuous brake control on long down- hill slope.
This can occur when  In adverse weather
conditions, such as
rain, snow or sand storms, etc. Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or ice, adhere to the surface of the sensor.  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.
If the display keeps showing the message, there is a possibility
that the ACC has a mal-
function. Contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. When the ACC system detects an abnormal- ity in the system, the ACC system will beturned off, a buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed in the multi-information display.
If the message remains after the operation mode is put in OFF, and then turned back to ON, contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

N00577300125
The Forward Collision Mitigation system
(FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of a
collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian
straight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM uses
a sensor (A) to determine the distance and
relative 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 path
and 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 automatically
apply 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 of
the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col-
lision. Stop lights are illuminated during automatic
braking.Forward Collision Mitiga-
tion system (FCM)

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

 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
