Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System (if so equipped)
WARNING
• When a vehicle ahead or behind is a
truck loaded with freight that protrudes
rearward from the cargo bed.
• If the height of an object is low.
• If the ground clearance of an object is
extremely high.
5
• When an object is covered by snow.
• When the shape of an object is rounded,
such as a pole.
• When ultrasonic waves are absorbed by
an object, such as snow or a spongy
material.
• When an obstacle is a chain fence.
• When an object is moving.
• If an aftermarket electrical device, such
as a radio antenna, is installed near the
sensor
 The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation
System operation may be cancelled when
the system recognizes evasive actions by
the driver to avoid a collision or when the
obstacle moves out of the detection range
of the sensor.
 In certain situations, though there is little
or no risk of a collision, the Ultrasonic
misacceleration Mitigation System may
activate. Examples include:
• When a vehicle ahead or an oncoming
vehicle is splashing water, snow or dirt.
• When a bump or step is ahead of the
vehicle.
5-130 Features and controls
WARNING
• When a parking gate or crossing gate is
not fully opened.
• When the vehicle is in smoke, fog or
steam.
• When attempting to park the vehicle
very close to another vehicle or an object.
• When the vehicle is exiting from parallel
parking.
• When the system detects ultrasonic
noise, such as the noise from motorcycle
engines, brakes, radios, pouring rain,
splashing water, tire chains or a ultra-
sonic wave from a sonar sensor on
another vehicle.
• If an aftermarket electrical device, such
as a radio antenna, is installed near the
sensor.
• When the vehicle is on a gravel road.
• When the vehicle is in a tall grass area.
 The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation
System should be tuned off if any of fol-
lowing situations occur:
• When attempting to get out of a road
groove or a mud.
• When using an automatic car wash.
• When the vehicle is entering or exiting a
car elevator.

mometer or free rollers.
• When your vehicle is towed or your vehi-
cle tows another vehicle.
• When your vehicle is carried on a truck.
WARNING
• When driving on a circuit.
• When the tires are not properly inflated.
• When the ultrasonic sensor and its sur-
rounding area is damaged or deformed.
CAUTION
 To maintain proper performance of the Ultra-
sonic misacceleration Mitigation System,
follow the instructions below.
• Do not hit or apply load to the sensors.
• Wipe the sensors and surrounding areas if
an object, such as dirt, adheres.
• Do not cover the sensors.
• Do not modify the suspension of your vehi-
cle.
 If the bumper has experienced an impact, the
sensor area may have been damaged and the
Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation Sys-
tem may not function properly. Have the
vehicle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
