2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV ABS

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.
Electric power steering system
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.
Active stability control (ASC)
7-31OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

NOTElEven if the ACC is in the activated state
when the operation mode is set to “OFF”,
the system does not automatically become
activated when the operation mode is set to “ON” next time.
To activate ACC control
With the ACC turned on (in the ‘standby
state’), push down the “SET -” switch whiledriving.
When your desired speed is reached, release
the “SET -” switch; then this speed is set and
the ACC initiates the speed control to the set speed.
The set speed is indicated on the informationscreen of the multi-information display.
The ACC can be selected between approxi-
mately 40 km/h (25 mph) to 180 km/h
(112 mph).
You can set and initiate the speed control when driving at approximately 10-40 km/h
while a vehicle in front is being detected. In this case, the target speed is set to 40 km/h
(25 mph).
Setting to any speed outside this range does
not cause the ACC to start the control.
When the ACC is initialized, a buzzer sound
is heard and the “SET” indicator lights up on the screen. At the same time, the display showing the following distance setting and
the running-ahead vehicle symbol (only when
the ACC is detecting a vehicle in front) is switched to the in-control mode display.NOTEl The ACC cannot start the control when any
of the following conditions is present. You
are alerted to this state by a sounding buzzer.
• When the vehicle speed is lower than ap-
proximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or 180 km/h
(112 mph) or higher.
• When the vehicle is running at a speed be-
tween approximately 10 km/h (6 mph)
and 40 km/h (25 mph) and the ACC does
not detect a vehicle in front.
• When ASC is in the OFF state.
• When ABS, ASC or TCL is working.
• When the selector lever is in a position
other than “D” (DRIVE).

NOTElThe set speed indication on the display turns
to “---” when the accelerator pedal is de- pressed. This indication remains as long as
the pedal is in a depressed position.
l In certain conditions, the braking control and
alarming functions of ACC may not work
for a short while after releasing the accelera- tor pedal.
l Set speed adjustment is impossible while the
accelerator pedal is in a depressed position.
To terminate ACC control
To cancel of ACC control
You can cancel the ACC control by using ei-
ther of the methods below.

When the control is cancelled, the system is placed in the ‘standby state’. You can makethe system restart the control by using the
“SET -” or “RES +” switch if the conditions for activating the control are met.
l Press the “CANCEL” switch.
l Depress the brake pedal.NOTElYou can also cancel the ACC control by
pressing the “ACC ON/OFF” switch. If thisswitch is pressed, ACC is turned off.
When the system shifts into the ‘standby
state’ as a result of cancellation of the ACC
control, the“ SET” indicator goes out. At the same time, the display of the following dis-
tance setting and running-ahead vehicle sym- bol (only when ACC is detecting a vehicle) is
placed in the standby state of display.
The ACC control is automatically cancelled
and the ACC is placed in the ‘standby’ state
in any of the situations listed below; you are
alerted to this condition by the sound of a
buzzer and a message on the display. You can make the system restart the control by us-ing the “SET -” or “RES +” switch if the con-
ditions for resuming the control are reestab-
lished.
l When your vehicle stops as the vehicle
in front stops.
l When ASC is turned off.
l When ABS, ASC or TCL is in operation.

NOTElThe warning message can be cleared tempo-
rarily by setting the LDW switch to “OFF.”
LDW deactivation due to fault
The alarm shown below is displayed if LDW
becomes to a non-initialized state due to a
fault.
If this happens, please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point for inspection of the system.
CAUTIONl LDW has its performance limitations. Do
not over-rely on the system.
l LDW is not designed to lessen risks associ-
ated with not looking ahead carefully (atten-
tion drawn to something on the side, absent-
mindedness, etc.) or poor visibility caused
by bad weather etc. Keep steering your vehi-
cle correctly and drive safely.
l The system may not be able to detect the
lane correctly in the following conditions. If required, set the LDW switch to “OFF.”
• When driving on a road whose lane mark-
ings (white or yellow) are worn out or
smeared with dirt to an extent not recog- nizable by the system.
• When lane markings are vague, typically
during a drive in the rain, snow or fog, or when running against the sun.
• When the vehicle is moving in a place
where lane markings are interrupted, such
as a toll booth entrance and motorway junction.
• When running on a road portion with in-
completely removed old lane markings,
shadows, lingering snow, truck-like pud- dles mistakable for lane markings (espe-cially after the rain when road surface is
reflecting light) or similar confusing fac- tors.
• When running in a lane other than the
cruising lane and passing lane.
• When running beside a closed lane sec-
tion or in a provisional lane in a traffic
work zone.CAUTION• When running in an extremely narrow
lane.
• When the following distance between
your vehicle and a vehicle in front be-
comes extremely reduced (especially when a marking is hidden by a vehicle in
front this is running too close to the mark- ing).
• When entering a junction or other point of
road where lanes are laid out complicated-ly.
• When passing a road section where the
number of lanes increases/decreases or
multiple lanes are crossing each other.
• When the lane is marked by double or
otherwise special lines.
• When driving on a winding or rough road.
• When driving on a slippery road covered
by rain water, snow, ice, etc.
• When passing through a place where the
brightness suddenly changes, like the inlet or outlet of a tunnel.
• When turning steep curves.
• When the road surface is reflecting the
light shining from the direction opposite
to the running direction.
• Vehicle largely lurches when it is running
over steps or other irregularities of the
road surface.
• When the headlamp illumination is inade-
quate because of contaminated or deterio-
rated lenses or improperly aimed head- lamps.
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
7-63OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) or less from the ground surface, excluding the
area approximately 10 cm (D) from the
ground surface. The non-detection areas (E) are within approximately 20 cm (F) from thebumper.
NOTEl If the rear bumper has been exposed to an
impact, the corner or back sensors may failand prevent the system from functioning
properly. Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.NOTEl The sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper. If the height of an object is lower than the
mounted position of the corner or back sen-
sors, the sensors may not continue detecting it even if they detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detec-
tion areas, please refer to “Changing the de- tection areas” on page 7-72.
CAUTIONl The reversing sensor system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
• The sensors or surroundings are covered
with ice, snow, or mud.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from
other sources (the horns of other vehicles, motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pour-
ing rain, splashing water, snow traction device (tyre chains), etc.).
• The sensors are extremely hot or cold
(while the vehicle is parked for a long pe- riod of time under a blazing sun or in coldweather).
• The vehicle tilts significantly.
• The vehicle is driven on a rough road
(with a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy
surface).
• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.CAUTION•The sensors or surroundings have been
wiped by hand, or stickers or accessorieshave been attached.
l The reversing sensor system may not proper-
ly detect the following:
• Objects that are thin, such as wire nets or
ropes.
• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as
snow.
• Objects that are shaped with a sharp an-
gle.
• Objects with a smooth surface, such as
glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerbstones.NOTEl The buzzer may sound lower than the nor-
mal warning sound when the reversing sen-sor system is receiving ultrasonic noise from
other sources, but this is not a malfunction.
The buzzer will stop sounding and the sys- tem will return to normal operation after thenoise is no longer received.

Wheel covers*
E00801300735
To remove
Wrap the tip of the jack bar with a cloth, in- sert it into the notch provided in the wheel
cover, and pry the cover away from the wheel. Using the same procedure at the other
wheel cover notches, work the wheel cover away from the wheel to remove it complete-
ly.
CAUTIONl Removing the cover with your hands may
cause injury to the fingers.NOTEl The wheel cover is made of plastic. Pry it
loose carefully.To install
1. Make sure the tabs (A) of the back of the
wheel cover are not broken and correctly fitted on the rings (B). If in doubt, do not install the wheel cover and consult your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
2. Align the air valve (C) of the tyre with
the notch (D) in the wheel cover.

WARNINGlWhen trying to rock your vehicle out of a
stuck position, make sure that there are
no people nearby. The rocking motion can make your vehicle suddenly lurch for-
ward or backward, and injure any by- standers.
On a flooded road
l Do not drive on a flooded road. If you
drive on a flooded road, not only does the Plugin Hybrid EV System stop but
there may be a failure like electric leak- age or short circuit.
If you inevitably had to run on a flooded
road and the vehicle was exposed to wa- ter, be sure to have your vehicle inspec-
ted by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
l If there is water on the brakes after driv-
ing through puddles or washing the vehi- cle, resulting in temporarily ineffective
brakes. In such cases, lightly depress the brake pedal to see if the brakes operate
properly. If they do not, lightly depress the pedal several times while driving in
order to dry the brake pads.
l When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance
on the road, resulting in loss of steering stability and braking capability.

To cope with this, observe the following
items: A- Drive your vehicle at slow speed.B- Do not drive on worn tyres.
C- Always maintain the specified tyre
inflation pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen road
l When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you use snow tyres or snow traction device (tyre chains).
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Snow
traction device (tyre chains)” sections.
l Avoid high-speed operation, sudden ac-
celeration, abrupt brake application and
sharp cornering.
l Depressing the brake pedal during travel
on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre
slippage and skidding. When traction be-
tween the tyres and the road is reduced the wheels may skid and the vehicle can-
not readily be brought to a stop by con- ventional braking techniques. Brakingwill differ, depending upon whether you
have anti-lock brake system (ABS). As your vehicle is equipped with ABS,brake by pressing the brake pedal hard,
and keeping it pressed.
l Allow extra distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.
l Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-
tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pullaway from a standstill slowly after con-
firming safety around the vehicle.CAUTIONl Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If
the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle
could suddenly start moving and possibly cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
Drive as slow as possible when driving on
bumpy or rutted roads.
