ing on a running resistance. Be careful.

Adaptive Cruise Control
System (ACC)*

E00634601401

The ACC maintains a set speed with no need
for you to use the accelerator pedal. Using a
sensor (A), the system also measures the rela-
tive speed and distance between your vehicle
and a vehicle in front, and maintains a set fol-
lowing distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front by automatically decelerating
your vehicle if it becomes too close to the ve-
hicle in front.
The ACC is the driver assist system to make
comfortable on a freeway. Stop lamps are il-
luminated during automatic braking.

If you desire, a cruise control without inter-
vention of the following distance control is
also selectable.

WARNING

A driver is responsible for driving safely.
Even if the ACC is in use, always grasp
the surrounding circumstances and pro-
vide for safe driving.

Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is
the system to reduce load on the driver.
The ACC is not a collision avoidance sys-
tem  or  an  automatic  driving  system.  The
system  is  not  intended  to  compensate  for
driver’s loss of attention to the front dur-
ing driving due to distraction or careless-
ness or supplement a drop in visibility due
to the rain and fog.
It  is  never  a  substitute  for  your  safe  and
careful driving. Always be ready to apply
the brakes manually.

Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*

OGGE19E1

Starting and driving

WARNING

This  system  may  not  correctly  detect  the
actual  situation  depending  on  the  type  of
vehicle  in  front  and  its  conditions,  the
weather  conditions,  and  the  road  condi-
tions.
Additionally, the system may be unable to
decelerate  sufficiently  if  the  vehicle  in
front  applies  the  brakes  suddenly  or  an-
other vehicle cuts into your path, so your
vehicle approaches the front vehicle.
Improper  usage  of  this  system  or  loss  of
attention  to  the  front  by  the  over-rely  on
the ACC, may result in a serious accident.

CAUTION

In the following situations, the system may
become transiently unable to detect a vehicle
in front or triggers its control and alarm
functions by detecting something other than
a vehicle in front.

CAUTION

•

When  driving  in  curved  sections  of  road
including  their  entrance/outlet  or  running
beside  a  closed  lane  in  a  traffic  work  or
similar zone.

•

When your vehicle position in a lane is in-
stable, is frequently steered to right and
left, or running unstably due to a traffic
accident, trouble with some vehicles, etc.

•

When driving on the road that the vehicle
in front runs in offset position from your
vehicle.

Never use the ACC in any of the following
situations. Failure to follow this instruction
could lead to an accident.

•

On roads with heavy traffic or roads in-
cluding many windings or steep curves.

CAUTION

•

On roads with slippery surfaces, such as
frozen, snow-covered, and dirt roads.

•

Under adverse weather conditions (rain,
snow, sand storms, etc.).

•

On steep downslopes.

•

On roads including steep up and down
slopes or many changes in inclination.

•

In traffic requiring frequent acceleration
and deceleration.

•

When the proximity alarm sounds fre-
quently.

•

When your vehicle is towed or your vehi-
cle tows another vehicle.

•

When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna-
mometer or free rollers.

•

When the air pressure in the tyres is not
correct.

•

When snow traction device (tyre chains)
are attached.

Be sure to take the following precautions to
keep  the  system  in  good  operating  condi-
tions.
Improper  handling  of  the  system  compo-
nents  may  result  in  degraded  sensor  per-
formance.

•

Avoid application of strong shock loads to
the sensor and never tamper with or re-
move the sensor mounting screws.

CAUTION

•

Do not cover the sensor mounted area
(shaded area as shown in the illustration)
with a sticker, licence plate or anything
such as a grill guard, etc.

•

The sensor front cover should not be
modified or painted.

•

Avoid using different size tyres from
those specified and maintain even tyre

MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.

NOTE

You cannot operate the regenerative brake
controls while the ACC is operating. If do-
ing so, the buzzer sounds.

If you turn on the ACC when the select posi-
tion is in “B” (including B0 to B5) position,
the select position is changed to “D” posi-
tion.

When ACC detects no vehicle

in front within the set distance

Your vehicle runs at a speed to which you set.
It is possible to set the speed between ap-
proximately 40 km/h (25 mph) and 180 km/h
(112 mph).

NOTE

If the vehicle speed exceed the set speed on
down slope, the system automatically ap-
plies the brake to maintain the vehicle speed.

NOTE

When depressing the brake pedal while auto-
matic brake is applied, the brake pedal is felt
solidly, but it is not abnormal. You can more
depress the pedal and it provides greater
braking force.

Sound is heard while automatic brake, but it
is operated a brake control and not abnor-
mal.

When ACC detects a vehicle in

front within the set distance

The ACC makes control to maintain a fol-
lowing distance (time gap) matched with the
vehicle speed between your vehicle and a ve-
hicle in front while also activating brakes as
necessary.

If the vehicle in front stops, the ACC reacts
to it by stopping your vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal as soon as your vehi-
cle comes to a stop.

OGGE19E1

Starting and driving

CAUTION

Never leave the vehicle when it is stopped
by automatic braking.

NOTE

If you do not depress the brake pedal within
2  seconds  after  an  automatic  stop,  you  are
alerted to automatic cancellation of the ACC
by  a  buzzer  and  display  message  and  the
ACC shift into the ‘standby state’.
The  vehicle  will  then  start  creeping  as  the
brakes are released.

When the ACC no longer detects any vehicle
in  front,  a  buzzer  sounds  and  the  symbol  of
vehicle  running  ahead  disappears  from  the
screen.  The  vehicle  is  slowly  accelerated  to
resume the set speed and continues running at
that speed.

WARNING

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
the vehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway ex-
it or when your vehicle or the vehicle in
front changes its lane.

WARNING

•

When driving on a curve.

If the vehicle in front turns off or changes
lane and another stationary vehicle is lo-
cated in front of that vehicle, the ACC will
not make deceleration control to the sta-
tionary vehicle.

Proximity alarm

E00634701079

While the ACC is active, if your vehicle ap-
proaches too closely to a vehicle in front be-
cause the ACC cannot allow for an adequate
deceleration  in  such  cases  as  rapid  decelera-
tion of the vehicle in front or apparition of a
vehicle  cutting  in  front  of  your  vehicle,  the
ACC  gives  a  warning  by  sounding  a  buzzer
and displaying a message.

How to use ACC

E00635001486

To start up (place in ‘standby

state’) the system

With the operation mode set to “ON”, press
the “ACC ON/OFF” switch shortly to acti-
vate the ACC.

The display on the information screen of the
multi-information display will switch to show
information on the ACC.
When the ACC is activated, it is placed in the
‘standby state’ at which any control function
is not started.

NOTE

Even  if  the  ACC  is  in  the  activated  state
when  the  operation  mode  is  set  to  “OFF”,
the  system  does  not  automatically  become
activated when the operation mode is set to
“ON” next time.

To activate ACC control

With the ACC turned on (in the ‘standby
state’), push down the “SET -” switch while
driving.

When your desired speed is reached, release
the “SET -” switch; then this speed is set and
the ACC initiates the speed control to the set
speed.

The set speed is indicated on the information
screen of the multi-information display.
The  ACC  can  be  selected  between  approxi-
mately  40  km/h  (25  mph)  to  180  km/h
(112 mph).
You  can  set  and  initiate  the  speed  control
when  driving  at  approximately  10  km/h
(6 mph) to 40 km/h (25 mph) while a vehicle
in front is being detected. In this case, the tar-
get speed is set to 40 km/h (25 mph).
Setting  to  any  speed  outside  this  range  does
not cause the ACC to start the control.

Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*

7-61

OGGE19E1

Starting and driving

When the ACC is initialized, a buzzer sound
is heard and the “SET” indicator lights up on
the  screen.  At  the  same  time,  the  display
showing  the  following  distance  setting  and
the running-ahead vehicle symbol (only when
the  ACC  is  detecting  a  vehicle  in  front)  is
switched to the in-control mode display.

NOTE

The ACC cannot start the control when any
of the following conditions is present. You
are alerted to this state by a sounding buzzer.

•

When the vehicle speed is lower than ap-
proximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or 180 km/h
(112 mph) or higher.

•

When the vehicle is running at a speed be-
tween approximately 10 km/h (6 mph)
and 40 km/h (25 mph) and the ACC does
not detect a vehicle in front.

•

When ASC is in the OFF state.

•

When ABS, ASC or TCL is working.

NOTE

•

When the select position is in the “P”
(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE) or the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.

•

While the brake pedal is being depressed.

•

When the parking brake is applied.

•

When the system determines that its per-
formance has been degraded due to con-
taminants adhered to the sensor.

•

When there is any abnormality in the sys-
tem.

To increase the set speed

There are two ways to increase the set speed.

By using the “RES +” switch:
The  set  speed  increases  by  1  km/h  (1  mph)
every time you push up the “RES +” switch
while  the  ACC  control  is  working.  If  you
hold  the  switch  pushed  up,  the  set  speed  in-
creases in 5 km/h (3 mph) increments.

CAUTION

The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.

NOTE

There is some time lag between the setting
to a new speed and actually accelerating to
that speed.

Speed setting operation is possible even in
presence of a vehicle in front. In this case,
however, the set speed alone increases with-
out actual acceleration taking place.

When the switch is held pushed, a buzzer
sounds every time the set speed changes.

By using the accelerator pedal:
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
while driving with the ACC control working,
you can accelerate the vehicle temporarily
beyond the presently set speed.

Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*

7-62

OGGE19E1

Starting and driving

At the point where the vehicle speed is raised
to your desired speed, push down and release
the “SET -” switch; the new speed is then set
in the system.

CAUTION

The ACC braking control and proximity
alarm functions will not work while the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed.

NOTE

The set speed indication on the display turns
to “---” when the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed. This indication remains as long as
the pedal is in a depressed position.

The ACC control at the original set speed re-
sumes as soon as you release the accelerator
pedal. Under certain conditions, however,
the braking control and alarming functions
of ACC may not work for a short while after
releasing the accelerator pedal.

NOTE

Set speed adjustment is impossible while the
accelerator pedal is in a depressed position.

To decrease the set speed

There are two ways to decrease the set speed.

By using the “SET -” switch:
The  set  speed  decreases  by  1  km/h  (1  mph)
every  time  you  push  down  the  “SET  -”
switch while the ACC control is working. If
you  hold  the  switch  pushed  down,  the  set
speed  decreases  in  increments  of  5  km/h
(3 mph).

CAUTION

The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.

NOTE

There is some time lag between setting to a
new speed and actually decelerating to that
speed.

If there is a vehicle in front and your vehicle
is  following  that  vehicle  at  a  speed  lower
than  the  set  speed,  the  set  speed  alone  de-
creases  with  no  actual  deceleration  taking
place.

When the switch is held pushed, a buzzer
sounds every time the set speed changes.

By using the brake pedal:
If you depress the brake pedal while the ACC
control is working, the control is cancelled,
allowing you to decelerate the vehicle.
At the point where the vehicle slows down to
your desired speed, push down the “SET -”
switch; the new speed is then set in the sys-
tem.

Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*

7-63

OGGE19E1

Starting and driving

NOTE

The ACC control is cancelled if you depress
the brake pedal and the ACC control does
not resume even when you release the pedal.

To temporarily accelerate the

vehicle

Simply depress the accelerator pedal to tem-
porarily accelerate the vehicle. Releasing the
pedal automatically slows down the vehicle
to the set speed and ACC restarts its control.

CAUTION

The ACC braking control and proximity
alarm functions will not work while the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed.

The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.

NOTE

The set speed indication on the display turns
to “---” when the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed. 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 accelera-
tor pedal.

Set speed adjustment is impossible while the
accelerator pedal is in a depressed position.

To terminate ACC control

To cancel of ACC control
You can cancel the ACC control by using ei-
ther of the methods below.
When  the  control  is  cancelled,  the  system  is
placed  in  the  ‘standby  state’.  You  can  make
the  system  restart  the  control  by  using  the
“SET -” or “RES +” switch if the conditions
for activating the control are met.

Press the “CANCEL” switch.

Depress the brake pedal.

NOTE

You can also cancel the ACC control by
pressing the “ACC ON/OFF” switch. If this
switch is pressed, ACC is turned off.

When  the  system  shifts  into  the  ‘standby
state’  as  a  result  of  cancellation  of  the  ACC
control, the“ SET” indicator goes out. At the
same  time,  the  display  of  the  following  dis-
tance setting and running-ahead vehicle sym-
bol (only when ACC is detecting a vehicle) is
placed in the standby state of display.

When ABS, ASC or TCL is in operation.

When the select position is in the “P”
(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE) or the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position.

When the parking brake is applied.

WARNING

Although the set speed driving will be de-
activated when shifting to the “N” (NEU-
TRAL)  position,  never  move  the  selector
lever  to  the  “N”  (NEUTRAL)  position
while  using  regenerative  braking  as  it
could cause a serious accident.

When the ACC system determines that its
performance has been degraded, a buzzer will
sound and a message will be displayed in the
multi information display.

This can occur when:

Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or
ice, adhere to the surface of the sensor.

There are adverse weather conditions,
such as rain, snow or sand storms, etc.

A vehicle in front or an oncoming vehi-
cle is splashing water, snow or dirt.

Driving on a nonbusy road with a few
vehicles and obstacles in front.

The brake system is overheating due to
continuous brake control on long down-
hill road.

If  the  display  keeps  showing  the  message,
there is a possibility that the ACC has a mal-
function. Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
When the ACC system detects an abnormali-
ty  in  the  system,  the  ACC  system  will  be
turned off, a buzzer will sound and a message
will  be  displayed  in  the  multi  information
display.

distance and relative speed to a vehicle and a
pedestrian in front.
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 gives audible and visual
warnings  (forward  collision  warning  func-
tion),  increases  the  brake  fluid  pressure
(FCM  brake  prefill  function),  and  also  pro-
vides  braking  force  assistance  when  you  de-
press the brake pedal (FCM brake assist func-
tion) to avoid frontal collision.
When the risk of collision increases more, the
system causes the brakes to work moderately
to encourage you to apply brakes. If the sys-
tem judges that a potential collision is immi-
nent,  it  initiates  emergency  braking  to  miti-
gate  collision-caused  damages  or  to  avoid
possible collision (FCM braking function).

Stop lamps are illuminated during automatic
braking.
If you turn the FCM ON/OFF, the Ultrasonic
misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS) al-
so turns ON/OFF at the same time. (Vehicles
equipped with the UMS)

WARNING

A driver is responsible for driving safely.
The  FCM  is  the  system  to  mitigate  colli-
sion-caused damages or to avoid collisions
as much as possible.
The system is not intended to compensate
for  driver’s  loss  of  attention  to  the  front
during driving due to distraction or care-
lessness or supplement a drop in visibility
due to the rain and fog.
It  is  never  a  substitute  for  your  safe  and
careful driving. Always be ready to apply
the brakes manually.

The FCM works to avoid frontal collisions
as much as possible. However, the effect of
its  operation  varies  depending  on  situa-
tions and conditions, such as driving con-
ditions, road conditions, and steering, ac-
celeration and braking operations, so that
the  performance  the  function  can  deliver
is not always the same.
If  your  vehicle  is  in  danger  of  collision,
take  all  necessary  collision-evading  ac-
tions,  such  as  depressing  the  brake  pedal
strongly regardless of whether the system
is activated or not.

Never attempt to test the operation of the
FCM. Doing so could cause an accident,
resulting in serious injury or death.

Forward collision warning

function

E00635401129

If  the  system  judges  that  there  is  a  risk  of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian  in  front,  this  function  warns  you  of
the  potential  hazard  with  visual  and  audible
alarms.
When  this  function  is  triggered,  a  buzzer
sounds  and,  at  the  same  time,  a  “BRAKE!”
message appears on the information screen of
the multi-information display.

The forward collision warning function oper-
ates at the following vehicle speed:

Against a vehicle: Approximately
15 km/h (9 mph) to 140 km/h (87 mph).

Against a pedestrian: Approximately
7 km/h (5 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).

CAUTION

Under certain conditions, the audible alarm
may not work at all or may be scarcely audi-
ble. Do not overly rely on the system; if your
vehicle is in danger of collision, take all nec-
essary collision-evading actions, such as de-
pressing the brake pedal strongly regardless
of whether the system is activated or not.

FCM brake prefill function

E00635201055

If  the  system  judges  that  there  is  a  risk  of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian  in  front,  this  function  prefills  the
brake line with additional brake fluid to make
the  brakes  more  responsive  to  your  brake
pedal operation.
The  FCM  brake  prefill  function  operates  at
the following vehicle speed:

Against a vehicle: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).

Against a pedestrian: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).

FCM brake assist function

E00635301072

If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function deploys the
brake assist sooner than the brake assist oper-
ation.
