2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV power steering

The power steering system has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-
son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-
cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your ve-hicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.WARNINGl Do not stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys-
tem while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the Plug-in Hybrid EV System would
make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.NOTEl During repeated full-lock turning of the
steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking space), a protection function may be activa-
ted to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering action will return to normal.NOTEl If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlamps on, the headlamps may become dim. This behaviour
is not abnormal. The headlamps will return to their original brightness after a shortwhile.

warning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning display will appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi information display.
CAUTIONl If the warning display appears while the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operating,
have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.
It may become harder to turn the steering wheel.Active stability control
(ASC) E00616701468
The Active Stability Control (ASC) takes
overall control of the anti-lock brake system, traction control function and stability control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s con-
trol and traction. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on the anti-lock
brake system, traction control function and stability control function.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 7-28
Traction control function ® p. 7-32
Stability control function ® p. 7-32CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle.
This system, like any other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstan- ces. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive care-
fully. This means taking into account the traffic, road and environmental conditions.
l Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not work properly.

If the vehicle breaks downE00800102381
If the vehicle breaks down on the road, move it to the shoulder and use the hazard warning
flashers and/or the warning triangle etc.
Refer to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on page 6-50.
When the vehicle is faulty and will not move,
get help from passengers or bystanders to
push the vehicle and move it to a safe place.
At this time, put the operation mode of the power switch in “ON” and put the select po-sition in “N” (NEUTRAL) position.WARNINGl If you are unable to safely assess the vehi-
cle due to vehicle damage, do not touch
the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact emergency services. Advise emergency
responders that this is a Plug-in Hybrid Electric vehicle.
If the ready indicator goes out
while driving
Vehicle operation and control are affected if
the ready indicator goes out while driving.
Before moving the vehicle to a safe area, be aware of the following:
l The brake booster may become inopera-
tive and the pedal effort will increase.
Press down the brake pedal harder than usual.
l The power steering system may not op-
erate, the steering wheel feels heavy when turning it.Emergency starting
E00800503920
If the Plug-in Hybrid EV system cannot be
started because the auxiliary battery is weak or dead, the battery from another vehicle can
be used with jumper cables to start the Plugin
Hybrid EV system.
WARNINGl To start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system us-
ing jumper cables from another vehicle
and perform the correct procedures ac-
cording to the instruction below. Incor- rect procedures could result in a fire, ex-
plosion, electric shock or damage to the
vehicles.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may
produce an explosion.CAUTIONl The Plug-in Hybrid EV system cannot be
started by pulling or pushing the vehicle.CAUTIONl Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt,shorting can damage both vehicles.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size to prevent overheating of the cables.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
l Do not attempt jump starting the auxiliary
battery while the drive battery is being charged. Doing so could damage the charg-
ing equipment or the vehicle.NOTEl If the auxiliary battery is disconnected, the
operation mode of the power switch is mem-
orized. When a booster battery is connected
by jumper cables, the operation mode re- turns to the state before the auxiliary battery
ran down.
Pay due attention if you do not know the op-
eration mode before the auxiliary battery
was fully discharged.
l If the auxiliary battery is fully discharged
with the select position in the “P” (PARK)
position, the select position cannot be changed to other position from the “P”
(PARK) position in some cases. In such a case, the front wheels have been locked.
Therefore, the vehicle cannot be moved.

If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicleWARNINGl Never tow your vehicle in this method ex-
cept in emergency situations such as run-
ning out of fuel. If the vehicle is towed in this method, a problem can occur in thevehicle damaging the motor, transaxle,
etc. indicated by illuminating warning lamps.
1. The front towing hooks are located as
shown in illustration. Secure the tow rope to the front towing hook.
NOTEl Using any part other than the designated
towing hook could result in damage to vehi-cle body.NOTEl Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
l Take care that the tow rope is kept as hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can
damage the vehicle body.
l Secure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
2. Start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system.
If the Plug-in Hybrid EV System cannotbe started, put the operation mode of the
power switch in “ON”.
WARNINGl If the vehicle is towed with the operation
mode in “ON” without starting the Plugin
Hybrid EV System, the auxiliary battery may be fully discharged during towing. In
this case, the brake performance becomes very poor and the steering wheel becomes
very heavy.CAUTIONl For vehicle equipped with the Adaptive
Cruise Control system (ACC) and Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM), stopthese systems to prevent an unexpected acci-
dent or unexpected operation during towing. Refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control system
(ACC)” on page 7-43 and “Forward Colli-
sion Mitigation system (FCM)” on page 7-55.
3. Put the select position in “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position.
4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-
quired by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations.)
5. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of
both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav-
el at low speed.
WARNINGl Avoid sudden braking, acceleration and
steering wheel movements; such driving
operation could cause damage to the tow- ing hook or tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.
l When going down a long slope, the brakes
may overheat, reducing effectiveness.
Have your vehicle transported by a tow truck.
