SAFETY
Forward Collision Mitigation system [FCM]
Built for maximum stability and traction, the rugged frame and aerodynamically contoured body contribute to solid handling and stable highway performance.
Helps prevent a frontal collision or reduce damage if the collision becomes unavoidable.
Responds to vehicles via radar.

Note:
FCM: The detection and control capabilities of the Forward Collision Mitigation system [FCM] are supplemental only and do not prevent collisions in every situation. Please drive safely and do not rely solely on this system while driving. FCM may not activate in some situations. Please read the owner's manual carefully and be aware of these limitations. Auto braking does not operate against stationary vehicles when the speed of your car is above approx. 30km/h. Since FCM has no function to maintain braking, the brake is released approximately 2 seconds after stopping. To prevent the vehicle from moving thereafter, the driver may have to hold the brake pedal down. In some cases, FCM may not function if the driver takes actions for accident avoidance through steering or acceleration operation.
Adaptive Cruise Control [ACC]
Maintains a selected distance between your vehicle and the car ahead via radar to lend driving assistance and enhance driving comfort. It especially reduces driver stress during slow traffic jams on highways.

Your selected speed is maintained even if you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.

Your selected distance between vehicles is maintained.

When the vehicle in front slows or stops, ACC slows or stops your vehicle.

Note:
ACC: The detection and control capabilities of ACC are supplemental only. Please drive safely and never rely solely on these functions while driving. ACC may not activate in
some situations. 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
conditions. Additionally, the system may be unable to decelerate sufficiently if the vehicle in front applies the brakes suddenly or another vehicle cuts into your path, so your
vehicle approaches the front vehicle. When the car stops, ACC finishes its control and the brake is released approximately 2 seconds after stopping. To prevent the vehiclefrom
moving thereafter, the driver may have to hold the brake pedal down. Please see the owner's manual for additional information.
Blind Spot Warning system [BSW] with Lane Change Assist [LCA]
This safety feature uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to detect vehicles in your rear blind spots, on the right and left sides. An indicator appears in the door mirror when the system is active and the turn signals are off. When a vehicle is detected while the turn signal is on, an indicator blinks in the corresponding door mirror and a buzzer sounds. To further enhance safety, the sensing range has been expanded to better detect the danger of collision with other vehicles during lane changes.
Note: BSW: The detection and control capabilities of Blind Spot Warning [BSW] with Lane Change Assist [LCA] are supplemental only and do not warn you of vehicles in blind spots in every situation. Please do not rely solely on this system while driving. BSW may not operate normally in some cases, depending on traffic, weather, road surface conditions and the presence of obstructions. Drivers are fully responsible for their own safe driving. The radar wave graphics are used for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the actual sensor application. Please see the owner's manual for additional information.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert [RCTA]
An indicator appears in the combination meter display when RCTA is active. If radar sensors in the rear bumper detect an approaching vehicle nearby while reverse gear is engaged, a warning message appears in the 8 inch color LCD meter, a buzzer sounds and an indicator blinks in both door mirrors.
Note: RCTA: Do not rely solely on this system, which may not detect all moving vehicles in certain conditions. Drivers are fully responsible for their own safe driving. The radar wave graphics are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the actual sensor application. Please see the owner's manual for additional information.

Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System [UMS]
To help prevent collisions while parking, a buzzer sounds and a warning displays if front or rear sensors detect a nearby obstacle. Engine output is also controlled if you suddenly accelerate by accident.
Engine output control activates:
- When driving at very low speeds (not in N or P position)
- When obstacle/vehicle is within a short distance
- When accelerator pedal is pushed hard or abruptly
- When driver is not turning to avoid obstacle/vehicle

Note:
UMS: The detection and control capabilities of the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System [UMS] are supplemental only and do not prevent misacceleration in every situation. Please drive safely and do not rely solely on this system while driving. To prevent the engine output control provided by UMS from causing an impediment during normal driving in rough-road driving conditions, the system automatically de-activates and indicates UMS OFF in the meter cluster when the 4LLc, R/D lock, or HDC setting is ON or the ASTC function is OFF. No function completely stops the vehicle via the automatic braking. The vehicle creeps forward even when engine output is regulated. The sensing system may not work for netlike and sharp-edged obstructions that do not sufficiently reflect ultrasonic sound. UMS does not include a function which keeps the vehicle stationary. The driver is responsible for stopping the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal as required by the driving conditions. The ultrasonic sensor wave graphics are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the actual sensor application.
Multi Around Monitor
The views from cameras mounted on the front, rear and sides of the vehicle (including a bird's-eye view) can be displayed in various combinations to reveal what is in blind spots and help you park more safely.

Electronic parking brake
The parking brake is easy to operate via stylish switch. Simply pull the switch up to apply the parking brake or push the switch down to release it. In addition, an auto parking brake function automatically locks or releases the parking brake according to the shift lever position.
Brake Auto Hold
Brake Auto Hold enhances driving comfort and reduces stress by keeping the vehicle stationary even if you release the brake pedal. Stepping on the accelerator will release the brakes. For safety, do not leave the vehicle when Brake Auto Hold is activated.

RISE body
Collision safety performance is significantly enhanced by Mitsubishi Motors' RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) body, which efficiently absorbs energy and maintains high cabin integrity in the event of a collision.Collision safety performance is significantly enhanced by Mitsubishi Motors' RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) body, which efficiently absorbs energy and maintains high cabin integrity in the event of a collision.

Rigid lightweight body
The body is extremely sturdy and lightweight, due to the generous use of high tensile strength steel plates that also contribute to a high level of collision safety.

7 SRS airbags*
In the event of a collision, seven SRS airbags help protect you and your passengers by absorbing the force of impact. The system includes front airbags, front side airbags, curtain airbags (including third-row curtain airbags in the 7-seater) and a driver's knee airbag.
* Front airbags are standard. Side, curtain and driver's knee airbags are optional.

Note:
Airbags are part of a Supplemental Restraint System [SRS]. To decrease the risk of injury from a deploying airbag, always wear your seatbelt, sit upright in the middle of the seat and do not lean against the door. Always place children 12 and under in the rear seat and use appropriate child restraints. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat. Please see the owner's manual and the instructions provided with your child restraint for additional information.
