Official NHTSA Active Safety & Driver Assistance Evaluations

NHTSA-verified advanced crash avoidance and driver assistance technology equipment status for 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage

Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Not Equipped

Sensors monitor traffic ahead and warn drivers of impending front-end collisions to allow immediate braking or steering intervention.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Not Equipped

Tracks painted road lane markings and provides audible, visual, or tactile alerts if the vehicle begins drifting unintentionally without a turn signal.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

Standard

Applies individual wheel brakes and regulates engine torque to prevent loss of control and skidding during sudden avoidance maneuvers (FMVSS 126).

NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings Methodology: Government 5-Star Safety Ratings are evaluated under strict NHTSA New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) standards. 5 stars is the highest safety rating achievable. Frontal crash ratings compare vehicles of similar weight classes (within 250 lbs). Side crash ratings compare all vehicles regardless of weight class. Rollover ratings measure vehicle resistance to rolling over during a single-vehicle loss-of-control scenario based on the Static Stability Factor (SSF).
