If the system judges that a collision is un-
avoidable, it initiates emergency braking con-
trol to mitigate collision-caused damages or,
if the situation permits, to avoid a collision.
When the emergency braking control is trig-
gered, you are warned of the hazard with vis-
ual and audible alarms like with the Forward
collision warning function.
Once the emergency braking has worked, you
are alerted to this by a message on the infor-
mation screen of the multi information dis-
play.
CAUTION
l
Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.
l
After your vehicle has stopped following the
activation of the FCM, automatic braking is
released. As the vehicle will then start creep-
ing, be sure to depress the brake pedal to
hold the vehicle stationary.
CAUTION
l
When applying the brake during the auto-
matic braking condition the pedal will feel
firm.
This is not abnormal.
You can apply more pressure to the pedal to
assist in braking.
l
In the following situations, the system pro-
vides neither control nor alarming.
•
The vehicle in front of your vehicle is
moving at a speed much lower than your
vehicle’s speed.
•
When a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of
your vehicle.
•
When the distance from a vehicle in front
is extremely short.
•
To an oncoming vehicle.
•
When your vehicle’s speed is much low-
er.
•
When the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE), or the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
CAUTION
•
When the system is faulty (if the system
self-detects any fault, the “FCM SERV-
ICE REQUIRED” message is indicated
and the “FCM OFF” indicator lights up
on the information screen of the multi in-
formation display).
If the message remains after the operation
mode has been turned to the “OFF” posi-
tion and then turned back to the “ON” po-
sition, contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
l
Braking function will not work in the fol-
lowing situations.
•
Your vehicle is driving at approximately
30 km/h (19 mph) or faster while the ve-
hicle in front is stationary or moving ex-
tremely slowly.
•
ASC is OFF.
l
The forward collision warning function
and/or the FCM braking function may not
activate in the following situations.
