2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV brake

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.

If the driver’s door is opened with the select
position other than “P” when the vehicle is at a stop, the buzzer sounds to warn to press the
electrical parking switch.
Regenerative braking level
selector (paddle)* E00636700021
Regenerative braking level selector (paddle)
can quickly change the regenerative brake force while keeping your hand on the steering
wheel when you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal while driving.
By pulling the regenerative braking level se- lector, the brake force (amount of electricalenergy to charge the drive battery) can be ad-
justed according to the driving condition such as before a curve or a downhill.

The regenerative braking level can be switch-
ed in 6 levels from B0 (small regenerative braking force) to B5 (large regenerative brak-ing force).CAUTIONl If a large regenerative brake force is applied
on a slippery road, tyres may skid. Always
drive safely in accordance with the prevail- ing road condition.CAUTIONl If you operate the right and left paddles si-
multaneously, the regenerative brake force
level may not change.NOTEl Repeated continuous operation of a paddle
will continuously change the brake forcelevels.
l If you turn on the cruise control when the
level B0 or B1 (smaller regenerative brake
force) is selected, the level is returned to the
normal level B2 automatically.
l Under the cruise control, the level B0 or B1
cannot be selected. The buzzer sounds if you
try to select these levels.
l On vehicles with the adaptive cruise control
system (ACC), you cannot control the regen- erative brake force level while the adaptive
cruise control system (ACC) is operating. The buzzer sounds if you operate the pad-
dles.To decrease generative force

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.
CAUTIONl Use tyres of the same specified size, same
type, same brand and with no wear differ- ence. If tyres of a different size, type, brandor degree of wear are used, a warning of EVsystem abnormality may be displayed.S-AWC operation display

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

NOTElDriving on rough roads can be hard on a ve-
hicle. Before you leave paved roads, be sure all scheduled maintenance and service has
been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to the condi- tion of the tyres, and check the tyre pres-
sures.
l MITSUBISHI
MOTORS is not responsible
to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and
negligent operation of a vehicle. All techni- ques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other par-
ticipating parties. Any deviation from the recommended operating instructions above
is at their own risk.
l Note that the stopping distance required of a
4-wheel drive vehicle differs very little from
that of a 2-wheel drive vehicle. When driv-
ing on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that you keep a
sufficient distance between your vehicle and the one ahead of you.
l The driving posture should be more upright;
adjust the seat to a good position for easy
steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wear
the seat belt.
l After driving on rough roads, check each
part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughlywith water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera-
tion” section and “Maintenance” section.Climbing/descending sharp
grades
Your vehicle may not provide sufficient hill
climbing ability and regenerative brake on steep slope. Avoid driving on steep slopes
even though the vehicle is a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Inspection and maintenance
following rough roadoperation E00606701407
After operating the vehicle in rough road
conditions, be sure to perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures:
l Check that the vehicle has not been dam-
aged by rocks, gravel, etc.
l Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal in order to dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do
not function properly, we recommend you to have the brakes checked as soon
as possible.
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core.
l Check the inside of the vehicle. If water
entry is found, dry the carpet etc.
l Inspect the headlamps. If the headlamp
bulb is flooded with water, we recom-
mend you to have it drained.Cautions on handling of 4-
wheel drive vehicles E00606801844
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the driving performance of the ve- hicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install only the specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 12-08.
l Be sure all 4 tyres and wheels are the
same size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of
the tyres or wheels, replace all 4 tyres.
l All tyres should be rotated before the
wear difference between the front and
rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expec- ted if there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page 11-11.
Inspection and maintenance following rough road operation
7-20OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

NOTElIt is recommended to use the battery charg-
ing switch at least 20 minutes before you
climb towards the speed of more than
100 km/h (62 mph) or when a long slope
(gradient of more than 4 %) is expected.
(According to a towing weight, it may not be able to continue the speed.)
l When using the battery charge switch with a
vehicle that has been parked in the heath a
long time, it may not charge.
l The charging time close to the full charging
of the drive battery becomes longer depend- ing on the condition of the drive battery, a
driving condition or an environment.
l The engine may stop near full charge.
l If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity while using gaso-
line, the fuel consumption will suffer. We recommend you to consider the environ- ment.
l When the engine is started while parking,
there is a risk of receiving a penalty due to
idling stop ordinances.
You should use the battery charge switch that conforms to the relevant municipality.
If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity using gasoline, the fuel consumption will suffer.When the Battery save switch
is ON
When the battery save switch is turned on while driving in the battery charge mode, the
mode changes to the battery save mode.
If the battery charge switch is pressed, the
mode is returned to the battery charge mode.
Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System (AVAS) E00631601051
The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System(AVAS) is a device that uses sound to alert
pedestrians of the presence of the vehicle. The system operates when the vehicle speed
is about 35 km/h (22 mph) or less and the en-
gine is not running.
The sound starts when the AVAS is operated
in the following conditions.
l When the vehicle speed is about 3 km/h
(2 mph) or less with engine not runningand the brake pedal is not depressed.
l When the vehicle speed is about 3 km/h
(2 mph) to 35 km/h (22 mph) and engine
is not running.
The sound does not start in the following ca-
ses.
l When the vehicle speed is about 3 km/h
(2 mph) or less and the brake pedal is depressed.
l When the vehicle speed is about 35 km/h
(22 mph) or more.
l When the select position is in “P”
(PARK) position.
l When the AVAS OFF indicator in the
meter is illuminating.
l When the engine is running.
When the operation mode is set to “ON”, the
AVAS OFF indicator comes on and goes out after a few seconds.

WARNINGlEven if the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys-
tem (AVAS) sounds, pay special attention
to pedestrians.
Pedestrians may not notice the oncoming vehicle, which may cause an accident re-
sulting in serious personal injury or death.CAUTIONl Always confirm the indication lamp goes off
before driving.
If the indication lamp blinks, the operation
mode is put in OFF, and the operation mode is put in OFF once again. It is normal if the
indication lamp goes off. If the indication
lamp blinks again, have the vehicle inspec-
ted at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point as soon as possible.AVAS OFF switch
E00631701049
If the operation mode is put in ON, the
AVAS is automatically turned on.
The AVAS should be turned on while normal
driving.
When driving on the freeway etc., it is possi- ble to turn off the AVAS by pressing the
AVAS OFF switch.
If pressing the AVAS OFF switch, the audi- ble alarm does not sound and the indicationlamp illuminates.
If pressing the AVAS OFF switch once
again, the AVAS is activated and the indica- tion lamp goes off.WARNINGl Never turn the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System (AVAS) off if there is a possibility
that pedestrians pass by.NOTEl If the operation mode is put in OFF, while
the AVAS has been turned off, and the oper-
ation mode is put in ON once again, the
AVAS is activated.
l If the AVAS OFF switch is continuously
pressed after the AVAS is turned off, the in-
correct operation prevention function works
and the system turns on again.Braking
E00607002967
All the parts of the brake system are critical
to safety. We recommend you to have the ve- hicle checked at regular intervals according
to the service booklet.CAUTIONl Avoid driving habits that cause heavy brak-
ing and never “ride” the brakes by resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.
Brake system
The service brake is divided into two brake
circuits. And your vehicle is equipped with
power brakes. If one brake circuit fails, the other is available to stop the vehicle. If you
should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. In these situations,
even if the brake pedal moves down to the very end of its possible stroke or resists being
depressed, keep depressing the brake pedal
down harder and further than usual; stop
driving as soon as possible and have the brake system repaired.
