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

The sensor (A) is lo
cated inside the wind-
shield as shown in the illustration. The sensor is shared in the following sys-tems:  FCM  Lane Departure Warning (LDW)  Automatic high beam system
NOTE
If the sensor or its surrounding area becomes extremely high temperature when parkingthe vehicle under a blazing sun, the “FCMSERVICE REQUIRED” message may appear. After the temperature of the sensor or its sur-rounding area has been in range, if the mes- sage remains even afte
r restarting the engine,
please contact an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
Handling of the sensor

CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the FCM, LDW and Automatic high beam system;• Always keep clea
n the windshield.
If the inside of the windshield where the sensor is installed be
comes 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 or film to the outer side of the windshield infront 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 mistfrom the windshield by
using the defogger
switch.• Maintain the wiper blades in good condi-tion. Refer to “Wiper blades” on page 9-46.When replacing the wiper blades, use only Mitsubishi Motors Genui
ne 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

FDA Assertion number: 1520863-000
For vehicles sold in U.S.A. For vehicles sold in Canada
N00592200040
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving aid system that alerts the driver when anothervehicle 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 le
ver 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 toalert the driver. Depending on the relative speed between your vehicle and a vehi
cle in the next lane,
the Blind Spot Warning system will detect up to approximately 230 feet (70 m) from your vehicle. (Lane Change Assist)
• Always use tires of the same size, same type and same brand, and which have nosignificant 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 Mitsubish
i 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.

The BSW uses two sensors (A) located inside the 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 ofthis system. Failure to follow instructions could 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 carefuldriving. Always check
visually behind and
all around your vehicl
e for other vehicles.
The performance of
the BSW may vary
depending on driving,
traffic and/or road
conditions.
Detection areas

WA R N I N G In certain situations, the BSW may not detect a vehicle in the detection areas or the detection may be delayed. Some ofthese include;• When a small motorcycle or a bicycle isbehind your vehicle.• When a vehicle is
traveling alongside of
your vehicle at nearly
the same speed for
prolonged periods of time.

When the BSW switch is pressed while the operation mode is ON, the BSW indicator light in the instrument cluster comes on andthe BSW becomes in stand by state. When the BSW switch is pressed again, the BSW indi- cator light in the instrument cluster goes offand the BSW turns off. Indicator light If you turn the BSW ON/OFF, the Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) also turns ON/OFF atthe same time.
• When the heights of the next lane and your lane are different.• Immediately after the BSW has been turned on.• Immediately after the engine switch isturned on.• Under adverse weather conditions, suchas rain, snow, strong winds or sand storms.• When your vehicle becomes too close toanother vehicle.• While multiple ve
hicle are overtaking
your vehicle.• When driving near a pot hole and tram-line.• When a surroundin
g vehicle or an
oncoming vehicle is splashing water,snow or dirt.• When driving on a
curve including the
beginning and the end of the curve.• When driving on a r
oad with alternating
up and down steep slopes.• When driving on a bumpy or rough road.• When the rear of your vehicle is weigheddown or your vehicle
is leaning to the
right or left due to the weight of passen- gers and luggage or th
e improper adjust-
ment of tire pressure. • When the bumper su
rface around the
radar sensor is covered with dirt, snowand ice, etc.WA R N I N G
• When the sensor is extremely hot or cold(while the vehicle is parked for a longperiod of time unde
r a blazing sun or in
cold weather).• When a bicycle carrier or accessory isinstalled to the rear of the vehicle.CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the BSW, follow the instructions below.• Always keep the bumper surface around thesensor clean.• Avoid impacting the sensor or its surround-ing area.• Do not put a sticker on the sensor or its sur-rounding bumper surface.• Do not paint the sensor or its surroundingbumper surface.• Do not modify the sensor or its surroundingarea.
 If the bumper has experienced an impact, the sensor may have been
