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 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 straight-ahead in your path
To activate conventional cruise control

NOTE
 The conventional cruise control does not sound or display the appr
oach alarm, will not
adjust your vehicle sp
eed, and does not con-
trol the distance betw
een your vehicle and a
vehicle in front.
General information

CAUTION Changes or modifica
tions not expressly
approved by the party responsible for com- pliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

and the FCM judges that th
ere 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 pedest
rian 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 pedest
rian 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.
WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident.
 The FCM is desi
gned 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 seriou
s injury or death.

If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or thepedestrian in front, this function warns you of the potential hazard wi
th visual and audible
alarms.When this function is triggered, a buzzer sounds and, at the sa
me time, a “BRAKE”
message appears on the
information screen of
the multi-information display. The FCM will also prepare to provide quickbrake response and greater brake force when you apply the brakes. The forward collision warning function oper- ates when the following vehicle speed:  Against a vehicle: Approximately 10 mph (15 km/h) to 87 mph (140 km/h).  Against a pedestrian: Approximately 5 mph (7 km/h) to 40 mph (65 km/h).

When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedest
rian straight-ahead is
imminent, the FCM will automatically applymoderate braking to warn the driver to apply the brakes immediately. If the FCM judges that
the collision is highly
unavoidable, it will automatically apply emergency braking to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col- lision. When the FCM applies emergency braking, abuzzer sounds and a wa
rning message is dis-
played in the information screen of the multi- information display. The FCM braking function operates when the following vehicle speed:  Against a vehicle:
Approximately 3 mph
(5 km/h) to 50 mph (80 km/h) Against a pedestrian: Approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) to 40 mph (65 km/h)

FCM braking function

WA R N I N G If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking function will not operate. Refer to “Activestability control” on page 5-100. If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has beenstopped by the FCM,
a warning buzzer
will sound and the brakes activated by the FCM will automatically be released.Apply the brakes as necessary to keep your vehicle stationary. The FCM will not activate and will not provide either warnin
g or braking in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:• When the selector le
ver is in the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position.• When an object other
than a vehicle or a
pedestrian is in front.• When the FCM has detected a problemin the system.• When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenlycuts in front
of your vehicle.
The FCM may or may not detect a motor- cycle, bicycle or wall depending on the sit-uation. The FCM is not designed to detect these objects. The forward collision warning function and/or the FCM brakin
g function may not
activate in certain situations. Some ofthese include:• When a vehicle sudden
ly appears just in
front of your vehicle.• When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.

This switch is used to turn on or off the FCM, and also to select the distance which will trig- ger the forward collision warning function.
Every time the operation mode is put in “ON”, the FCM will automatically be turned on. To turn off the FCM, press and hold the FCMON/OFF switch. The following message will appear in the multi-information display and the indicator will come on in the instru- ment cluster. To turn on the FCM again, press and hold the FCM ON/OFF switch. The indicator on the instrument cluster will go off, and a cur- rent distance mode for the forward collisionwarning will be shown
in the multi-informa-
tion display.
The distance to the vehicle ahead which trig- gers the forward collision warnings can be selected from three levels, “FAR”, “MID- DLE” or “NEAR”.To change the distance mode, press the FCM ON/OFF switch. Every time the switch is pressed, the distance
mode will be switched.
The selected distance

When the FCM system determines that its performance has been degraded, the FCM will become inoperative.This can occur when
 Foreign objects, such
as dirt, snow, ice,
mist or dew condensat
ion 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.
The following message will appear on the information screen of
the multi-information
display and the indicator will come on in the instrument cluster. When the sensor performance returns, the FCM functions will resume operation. If the message continues showing, there is apossibility that the se
nsor has a malfunction.
Contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for inspection of the sensor.
NOTE
 Actual distance which
triggers the forward
collision warnings wi
ll vary depending on
your vehicle speed a
nd the front vehicle
speed. 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 sensor cannot detect accurately

NOTE
 The “DRIVER ASSISTANCE CAMERA BLOCKED” message may temporarilyappear on the information screen when thesensor cannot detect a
vehicle, a pedestrian
or an object within ra
nge. This is not a mal-
function. When a vehicle or an object comeswithin range, the FCM function will resume and the message will go off.  The “DRIVER ASSISTANCE CAMERA BLOCKED” message
may appear on the
information screen when driving on a non-busy road with a few vehicles and obstacles in front.
