2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV brake

CAUTION•Do not cover the sensor mounted area of
the vehicle or the sensor cover with a
sticker or anything such as a grill guard
etc.
• The sensor front cover should not be
modified or painted.
• Avoid using different size tyres from
those specified and maintain even tyre wear.
• Do not modify the suspension of your ve-
hicle.
l When the cover in front of the sensor or the
sensor is deformed by an accident, please do
not use the ACC and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
When ACC detects no vehicle
in front within the set distance
Your vehicle runs at a speed to which you set. It is possible to set the speed between ap-
proximately 40 and 180 km/h.
NOTEl If the vehicle speed exceed the set speed on
down slope, the system automatically ap-plies the brake to maintain the vehicle speed.NOTEl When depressing the brake pedal while auto-
matic brake is applied, the brake pedal is felt solidly, but it is not abnormal. You can moredepress the pedal and it provides greater
braking force.
l Sound is heard while automatic brake, but it
is operated a brake control and not abnor-
mal.
When ACC detects a vehicle in
front within the set distance
The ACC makes control to maintain a fol- lowing distance (time gap) matched with the vehicle speed between your vehicle and a ve-
hicle in front while also activating brakes as necessary.
If the vehicle in front stops, the ACC reacts
to it by stopping your vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal as soon as your vehi- cle comes to a stop.
NOTEl If you do not depress the brake pedal within
2 seconds after an automatic stop, you arealerted to automatic cancellation of the ACC
by a buzzer and display message and the
ACC shifts into the ‘standby state’.
The vehicle will then start creeping as the
brakes are released.CAUTIONl Never leave the vehicle when it is stopped
by automatic braking.
When the ACC no longer detects any vehicle
in front, a buzzer sounds and the symbol of
vehicle running ahead disappears from the
screen. The vehicle is slowly accelerated to
resume the set speed and continues running at
that speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*

WARNINGlYour vehicle may accelerate up to the set
speed in the following situations. Apply the brake, if necessary, to slow down.
• When your vehicle no longer follows
the vehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway ex-it or when your vehicle or the vehicle in
front changes its lane.WARNING• When driving on a curve.
l If the vehicle in front turns off or changes
lane and another stationary vehicle is lo- cated in front of that vehicle, the ACCwill not make deceleration control to the
stationary vehicle.
Proximity alarm
E00634701079
While the ACC is active, if your vehicle ap-
proaches too closely to a vehicle in front be-cause the ACC cannot allow for an adequate
deceleration in such cases as rapid decelera-
tion of the vehicle in front or apparition of a vehicle cutting in front of your vehicle, the
ACC gives a warning by sounding a buzzer and displaying a message.
If this happens, increase the following dis-
tance by depressing the brake pedal or mak- ing other decelerating control.
CAUTIONl When the ACC is not in use, turn off the
system to prevent it from operating by mis-take and an unexpected accident.
l Never operate the ACC from outside the ve-
hicle.
l Neither control nor a warning are performed
in the following situation.
• Something other than a vehicle ap-
proaches, such as a pedestrian.
• When there is an abnormality in the sys-
tem (When the ACC detectes an abnor-mality, “ACC SERVICE REQUIRED” is
indicated.)
l The ACC makes neither acceleration nor de-
celeration control and only issues warning inthe following situation.
• The vehicle in front is parked or moving
at an extremely slow speed.
l The ACC may not be able to maintain the
set speed or the distance to a vehicle in front
and may not alert the driver, if the system

NOTE•While the brake pedal is being depressed.
• When the parking brake is engaged.
• When the system determines that its per-
formance has been degraded due to con- taminants adhered to the sensor.
• When there is any abnormality in the sys-
tem.
To increase the set speed
There are two ways to increase the set speed.
By using the “RES +” switch:
The set speed increases by 1 km/h (1 mph) every time you push up the “RES +” switch
while the ACC control is working. If you hold the switch pushed up, the set speed in-creases in 5 km/h (3 mph) increments.
NOTEl There is some time lag between the setting
to a new speed and actually accelerating tothat speed.
l Speed setting operation is possible even in
presence of a vehicle in front. In this case, however, the set speed alone increases with-
out actual acceleration taking place.
l When the switch is held pushed, a buzzer
sounds every time the set speed changes.CAUTIONl The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.
By using the accelerator pedal:
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
while driving with the ACC control working,you can accelerate the vehicle temporarily
beyond the presently set speed.
At the point where the vehicle speed is raised
to your desired speed, push down and release
the “SET -” switch; the new speed is then set in the system.CAUTIONl The ACC braking control and proximity
alarm functions will not work while the ac- celerator pedal is depressed.NOTEl The 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 The ACC control at the original set speed re-
sumes as soon as you release the accelerator
pedal. Under certain conditions, however,
the braking control and alarming functions of ACC may not work for a short while afterreleasing the accelerator pedal.

NOTElSet speed adjustment is impossible while the
accelerator pedal is in a depressed position.
To decrease the set speed
There are two ways to decrease the set speed.
By using the “SET -” switch:
The set speed decreases by 1 km/h (1 mph) every time you push down the “SET -”switch while the ACC control is working. If
you hold the switch pushed down, the set
speed decreases in increments of 5 km/h (3 mph).
NOTEl There is some time lag between setting to a
new speed and actually decelerating to that
speed.NOTEl If there is a vehicle in front and your vehicle
is following that vehicle at a speed lower
than the set speed, the set speed alone de- creases with no actual deceleration taking
place.
l When the switch is held pushed, a buzzer
sounds every time the set speed changes.CAUTIONl The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.
By using the brake pedal:
If you depress the brake pedal while the ACC
control is working, the control is cancelled,allowing you to decelerate the vehicle.
At the point where the vehicle slows down to
your desired speed, push down the “SET -” switch; the new speed is then set in the sys-tem.
NOTEl The ACC control is cancelled if you depress
the brake pedal and the ACC control does
not resume even when you release the pedal.
To temporarily accelerate the
vehicle
Simply depress the accelerator pedal to tem- porarily accelerate the vehicle. Releasing the
pedal automatically slows down the vehicle to the set speed and ACC restarts its control.
CAUTIONl The ACC braking control and proximity
alarm functions will not work while the ac- celerator pedal is depressed.
l The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.

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.

lWhen the select position is other than
“D”.WARNINGl Although the set speed driving will be de-
activated when shifting to the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position, never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position
while using regenerative braking as it
could cause a serious accident.
l When the parking brake is engaged.
l When the ACC is self-cancelled because
the system determines that its perform- ance has declined and it cannot operate
temporarily due to the following situa- tions, the driver is informed by a buzzer
and an indication on the screen. • Under adverse weather conditions
(rain, snow, sand storms, etc.)
• When the sensor is dirty or blocked by
snow and ice.
• When a preceding or oncoming vehi-
cle splashes water, snow or sand in front of the sensor.
• The brake pads are overheating.
• When you are driving in light traffic
with few vehicles and obstacles in front.
When the ACC returns to normal opera-
tion, the indicator is cancelled. If the in- dicator continues, there may be a fault in
the system. Please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
l When some problem occurs with the
system. (In this situation, the ACC con-
trol is automatically cancelled and the system is turned off. You are alerted to
this situation by the sound of a buzzer and a message on the display. If the mes-
sage remains displayed even after setting the operation mode to “ON”, please con-
tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.)
l When some other condition which cau-
ses the control to terminate occurs. (This situation may indicate a fault. Turn off
ACC and please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.)

To turn off ACC
Press the “ACC ON/OFF” switch when ACC is in the ‘ON state’ to turn off ACC.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*
7-53OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

NOTElPressing the switch turns off the ACC even
if it is engaged.
l The set speed is cancelled when the ACC is
turned off or the operation mode is set to
“OFF”.
l If the ACC is in the ‘ON state’ when the op-
eration mode is set to “OFF”, the system is set to the ‘OFF state’ when the operation
mode is set to “ON” next time.
To resume the control
After cancelling the ACC control (i.e. placing
the system in the ‘standby state’) by pressing the “CANCEL” switch or depressing the
brake pedal, you can resume the ACC control
at the originally set speed if you push up the “RES +” switch.
NOTEl The conditions to be met before the ACC
control can be resumed are the same as those for starting the ACC control.
To change the following dis-
tance setting
Every time you press the following distance
setting switch, the setting changes sequential- ly through three options “Long”, “Middle”
and “Short”, cycling back to “Long” after “Short”. The distance setting is reset when
the operation mode is set to “OFF” or when the ACC is set to “OFF,” and is automatically
set to “long” when you set the ACC to “ON”
next time.
NOTEl The following distance varies as a function
of the speed; the faster the set speed, the lon- ger the following distance.Following distance setting: “Long”Following distance setting: “Middle”Following distance setting: “Short”
To activate cruise control (auto-
matic speed control)
If you hold the “ACC ON/OFF” switch
pressed with the operation mode set to “ON” and the ACC in the ‘OFF state’, the cruisecontrol is activated. The information screen
of the multi-information display then changes to the cruise control screen and a buzzersounds at the same time.
Cruise control is turned off if you set the op-
eration mode to “OFF”.

→ “Cruise control (automatic speed controlsystem)” on page 7-34CAUTIONl Cruise control (automatic vehicle speed con-
trol system) does not alert by proximity
alarm and control distance between vehicles to the vehicle in front.Forward Collision
Mitigation System (FCM)* E00635101041
The FCM uses a sensor (A) to determine thedistance to a vehicle in front in the same laneand its speed relative to your vehicle’s speed. If the system judges that your vehicle is in
danger of colliding against the vehicle almost
straight from behind, it gives you visual and
audible alarms (Forward collision warning function), increases the brake fluid pressure
(FCM brake prefill function), and also pro- vides braking force assistance when you de-press the brake pedal (FCM brake assist func-
tion) to avoid frontal collision.
When the risk of collision increases more, the
system causes the brakes to work moderately to encourage you to apply brakes. If the sys-tem judges that a potential collision is immi-
nent, it initiates emergency braking to miti- gate collision-caused damages or to avoidpossible collision (FCM braking function).Stop lamps are illuminated during automatic
braking.WARNINGl A driver is responsible for driving safely.
The FCM is the system to mitigate colli-sion-caused damages or to avoid collisionsas much as possible.
The system is not intended to compensate
for driver’s loss of attention to the front during driving due to distraction or care-
lessness or supplement a drop in visibility
due to the rain and fog.
It is never a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always be ready to applythe brakes manually.
l The FCM works to avoid frontal collisions
as much as possible. However, the effect of its operation varies depending on situa-
tions and conditions, such as driving con- ditions, road conditions, and steering, ac-
celeration and braking operations, so that
the performance the function can deliver
is not always the same.
If your vehicle is in danger of collision,
take all necessary collision-evading ac- tions, such as depressing the brake pedal strongly regardless of whether the systemis activated or not.Forward collision warning
function
E00635401031
If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function warns you of the potential haz-
ard with visual and audible alarms.
