2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV display

CAUTIONlIf you operate the electrical parking switch
and the select lever repeatedly within a short
time, the shifting from the “P” position or to the “P” position is restrained for a certainperiod for the system protection. In such a
case, wait for a while and then perform the operation.
l If the parking lock mechanism is faulty, a
warning is displayed on the information
screen in the multi-information display.
When this warning is displayed, park on a flat place with the parking brake securely
applied. Have your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.CAUTIONl If you press the electrical parking switch be-
fore your vehicle stops completely, the vehi- cle makes a sudden stop, which may cause
injury to passengers. This also can be a cause of failure of the vehicle.
l Do not place an object around the electrical
parking switch. The electrical parking switch
may be pressed by the object when you place it there or when you somehow touch it.This will cause unintentional shifting to “P”
or “N” position, which may lead to an acci- dent.
l Be careful not to spill beverages, etc. around
the electrical parking switch. The electrical
parking switch may be stuck to the pressed
position when it is pressed.NOTEl When the selector lever is shifted from the
“P” position or to the “P” position, operatingnoise and vibration of the parking lock are felt, but this is normal.

S-AWC (Super All Wheel
Control) E00622601097
S-AWC is an integrated vehicle dynamics
control system that helps enhance driving
performance, cornering performance, and ve-
hicle stability over a wide range of driving conditions through integrated management of the twin motor 4WD, the AYC (Active Yaw
Control), the ABS and the ASC.
CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S-
AWC cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle. This sys- tem, like any other system, has limits and
cannot help you to maintain traction and
control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully.
This means taking into account the traffic,
road and environmental conditions.
Twin Motor 4WD
This system improves vehicle stability per-
formance and fuel economy performanceduring acceleration and deceleration by mo-
tors provided at front and rear wheels, re- spectively, controlling the distribution of a
drive force between the front and rear wheels optimal for the operation of the driver.
Active yaw control system
(AYC)
E00622801044
The AYC is a system, with a left-right differ- ential limiting function and yaw control func-
tion, that controls the left-right driving/brak-
ing force by managing the brake.
S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control)
7-17OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

CAUTIONlControl of the braking force does not en-
hance the stopping performance of the vehi-
cle, therefore, pay careful attention to the safety of your surroundings when driving.
Left-right differential limiting
function
The left-right differential limiting function is
a function that enhances driving performance and vehicle stability by preventing idle spin-
ning of a wheel when driving on a slippery road or when the road surfaces of left andright wheels are different.
Yaw control function
The yaw control function is a function thatenhances vehicle cornering performance and vehicle stability with management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controlling the brake force when the vehicle does not
turn in response to steering input, such as
when the steering wheel is turned quickly or when driving on a slippery road.
4WD lock switch
E00637000021
If the 4WD lock switch is pressed when the
power mode is “ON”, it will switch to “4WD LOCK.”
It can be used from a low-speed to high-
speed operation, and the driving stability im- proves on a wet road surface or a snowyroad, etc.
If the 4WD lock switch is pressed once again, it will return to “NORMAL.”.
When the 4WD LOCK mode is activated, the
above display appears on the information
screen in the multi-information display for some seconds.

4-wheel drive operation
E007606602083
Your vehicle has been designed primarily foruse on paved roads.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar lo-
cations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow- covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions.
It is particularly important to note that 4-
wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability with the regenerative brake on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driv- ing on steep slopes.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud and when driving through
water because sufficient traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through
areas where the tyres may get stuck in deep sand or mud.WARNINGl Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive ve-
hicles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have
limits to the system and ability to main- tain control and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Always drive care-
fully, taking account of the road condi-
tions.
l Improperly operating this vehicle on or
off-paved roads can cause an accident or
rollover in which you and your passengers
could be seriously injured or killed.
• Follow all instructions and guidelines in
the owner’s manual.
• Keep your speed low and do not drive
faster than conditions allow you to.
4-wheel drive operation
7-19OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

lCheck the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences. Using tyres of different size, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-
crease the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driving sys- tem. Further, the drive train will be subjec-
ted to excessive loading possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-ous faults.
Towing
CAUTIONl Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing. If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type
C or Type D equipment.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive ve-
hicle
WARNINGl Do not turn on the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System or turn a jacked-up wheel whenthe vehicle is jacked up. The tyre in con-
tact with the ground may turn and the ve- hicle may come off the jack, possibly lead-
ing to an accident. Besides, do not touch
the high-voltage area.Battery save switch
E00636800022
The remaining quantity of the drive battery
can be kept if you drive in the EV driving mode at a residential area or use electric
power at the destination.
Moreover, the electric power consumption of
the drive battery can also be held down by
pressing the battery save switch while high- speed driving.
If the battery save switch is pressed while the
READY indicator is on, the engine will start
to keep the remaining quantity of the drive battery, the vehicle operates in the series hy-
brid mode or the parallel hybrid mode.
It can be cancelled, if it is pressed once again.
If the battery save mode is activated, the fol-
lowing image is displayed on the information screen in the multi-information display.

7-21OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

NOTElThe engine may stop when the vehicle stops
or is running.
l Even if the battery save switch is pressed,
the battery save mode may not be activated
depending on the remaining drive battery ca- pacity or the remaining fuel quantity.
When the Battery charge
switch is ON
When the battery charge switch is turned on
while running in the battery save mode, the mode changes to the battery charge mode.
If the battery save switch is pressed, the mode is returned to the battery save mode.
Battery charge switch
E00636900023
It can be used when increasing the remainingquantity of the drive battery.
Use the battery charge switch before driving
at long up hills, such as mountains with a steep slope.
By charging the drive battery before driving,
it becomes possible to continue hill-climbing
performance (driving force).
If the battery charge switch is pressed while
the READY indicator is on, the engine will start and it can charge the drive battery to
near the full charge during the vehicle is run and stopped.
It can be cancelled, if it is pressed once again.
If the battery charge mode is activated, the
following image is displayed on the informa-
tion screen in the multi-information display.
WARNINGl When you leave the vehicle, be sure that
you have stopped the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System. Refer to “Parking” on page 7-04
l Since the engine will also start if the vehi-
cle stops with the battery charge switch pressed, do not use it around the garage
or the vehicle in situations when there's snow etc. while stopping and parking.
Doing so, the exhaust gas enters into the vehicle and there is a possibility of being
poisoned by carbon monoxide.
Be sure to use at the well-ventilated place.
l Do not use the battery charge switch near
flammable objects such as dried grass or
a paper etc.
This might cause a fire because the ex- haust pipe has a high temperature.CAUTIONl If something is left too close to the front of
the vehicle, do not operate the battery charg- er switch.NOTEl Use the battery charge switch before the up-
hill climb.
l Even if the battery charge switch is pressed,
the battery charge mode may not be activa- ted depending on the remaining drive battery
capacity or the remaining fuel quantity and the control.

WARNINGlDo not turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System while your vehicle is in motion. If
you turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys- tem while driving, the power assistancefor the braking system will stop working
and your brakes will not work effectively.
l If the power assist is lost or if either brake
hydraulic system stops working properly,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
Warning display
The brake warning lamp illuminates to indi-
cate a fault in the braking system. A warning
is also displayed on the multi information display. Refer to “Brake warning lamp and Brake warning display” on pages 6-42, 6-44.
When brakes are wet
Check the brake system while driving at a
low speed immediately after starting, espe- cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake
discs and prevent normal braking after driv-
ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal.
When driving downhillWARNINGl Do not leave any objects near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; do- ing so could prevent the full pedal stroke
that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times. Make sure that thefloor mat is securely held in place.CAUTIONl Put the selector lever to “B” position accord-
ing to the grade of a slope or the speed in along downward slope, and use the regenera-
tive brake together.
If you depress the brake pedal and slowing down is repeated frequently, the foot brake
may be overheated and effectiveness may worsen.CAUTIONl Effectiveness of the regenerative brake be-
comes weak when the drive battery is close
to full charge and loses its effect at the full
charge.
In this case, since the foot brake is effective,
use the foot brake and slow down your vehi-
cle speed beforehand.
The energy usage indicator stops swaying in the charge zone closer to full charge.
Refer to “Energy usage indicator” on page 6-02
In such case, drive at low speed in advance.
And if needed use the foot brake to slow
down the vehicle speed before the vehicle speed increases.
The regenerative brake comes to be effective if the drive battery remaining power is con-
sumed.
Brake pad
l Avoid hard braking situations.
New brakes need to be broken-in by
moderate use for the first 200 km
(124 miles).
l The disc brakes are provided with a
warning device which emits a shrieking
metallic sound while braking if the brake pads have reached their wear limit. Ifyou hear this sound, have the brake padsreplaced immediately.

WARNINGlDriving with worn brake pads will make
it harder to stop, and can cause an acci-
dent.Hill start assist
E00628001237
The hill start assist makes it easy to start offon a steep uphill slope by preventing the ve-
hicle from moving backwards. It keeps the
braking force for about 2 seconds when you move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
CAUTIONl Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to
prevent backwards movement of the vehicle. Under certain circumstances, even when hill
start assist is activated, the vehicle may
move backwards if the brake pedal is not sufficiently depressed, if the vehicle is heav-
ily loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery.
l The hill start assist is not designed to keep
the vehicle stopped in place on uphill slopes for more than 2 seconds.
l When facing uphill, do not rely on using the
hill start assist to maintain a stopped position as an alternative to depressing the brake ped-
al.
Doing so could result in an accident.CAUTIONl Do not turn the operation mode in ACC or
OFF while the hill start assist is operating.
The hill start assist could stop operating, which could result in an accident.To operate
E00628101368
1. Stop the vehicle completely using the
brake pedal.
2. Move the selector lever to the “D” posi-
tion.
NOTEl When reversing on an uphill slope, move the
selector lever to the “R” position.
3. Release the brake pedal and the hill start
assist will maintain the braking force ap-
plied while stopping for approximately 2 seconds.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal and the
hill start assist gradually will decrease the braking force as the vehicle startsmoving.
NOTEl The hill start assist is activated when all of
the following conditions are met.NOTE• The Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operat-
ing.
(The hill start assist will not be activated
while the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is
starting or immediately after the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System has started.)
• The select position is in any position other
than “P” or “N”.
• The vehicle is completely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed.
• The parking brake is released.
l The hill start assist will not operate if the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed before the brake pedal is released.
l The hill start assist also operates when re-
versing on an uphill slope.Warning display
