2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV brake

When this function is triggered, a buzzer
sounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE” message appears on the information screen of
the multi-information display.CAUTIONl This function does not work for a vehicle in
front which is moving extremely slower than
your vehicle.
l Under certain conditions, the audible alarm
may not work at all or may be scarcely audi-
ble. Do not overly rely on the system; if your
vehicle is in danger of collision, take all nec- essary collision-evading actions, such as de-
pressing the brake pedal strongly regardless of whether the system is activated or not.FCM brake prefill function
E00635200016
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function prefills the brake line with addi- tional brake fluid to make the brakes more re-
sponsive to your brake pedal operation.
FCM brake assist function
E00635301027
If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in front,
this function deploys the brake assist sooner than the brake assist operation.
CAUTIONl The brake assist function may not be trig-
gered when the brake pedal is operated in certain ways.
Do not overly rely on the system; if your ve-
hicle is in danger of collision, take all neces-
sary collision-evading actions, such as de-
pressing the brake pedal strongly regardless of whether the system is activated or not.FCM braking function
E00635501120
If the system judges that there is a high risk
of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle in
front, the system applies the brakes moder-
ately to encourage you to apply the brakes.
If the system judges that a collision is un-
avoidable, it initiates emergency braking con-trol to mitigate collision-caused damages or,
if the situation permits, to avoid a collision.
When the emergency braking control is trig- gered, you are warned of the hazard with vis-
ual and audible alarms like with the FCM
alarm function.
Once the emergency braking has worked, you
are alerted to this by a message on the infor- mation screen of the multi-information dis- play.CAUTIONl Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.
l After your vehicle has stopped following the
activation of the FCM, automatic braking is
released. As the vehicle will then start creep-
ing, be sure to depress the brake pedal to
hold the vehicle stationary.

CAUTIONlWhen applying the brake during the auto-
matic braking condition the pedal will feel firm.
This is not abnormal.
You can apply more pressure to the pedal to
assist in braking.
l In the following situations, the system pro-
vides neither control nor alarming.
• The vehicle in front of your vehicle is
moving at a speed much lower than your
vehicle’s speed.
• When a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of
your vehicle.
• When the distance from a vehicle in front
is extremely short.
• To an oncoming vehicle.
• When your vehicle’s speed is much low-
er.
• When the selector lever is other in the
“D” (DRIVE) position.CAUTION• When the system is faulty (if the system
self-detects any fault, the “FCM SERV- ICE REQUIRED” message is indicated
and the “FCM OFF” indicator lights up on the information screen of the multi-in- formation display).
If the message remains after the operation
mode has been turned to the “OFF” posi- tion and then turned back to the “ON” po-
sition, contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.

formance deterioration and the FCM can’t operate temporarily by these situations auto-
matically,“FCM TEMPORARILY NOT AVAILABLE” message is indicated, and a
“FCM OFF” indicator lights up.
Additionally, it may be indicated in the fol-
lowing situations.
• When the brake is overheating.
• When you are driving in light traffic with
few vehicles and obstacles in front.CAUTIONWhen the FCM will be in the state which can operate, indication is released automati-
cally. When the indication keeps going out,
there is an abnormality in the system. Please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
l Factors such as the positional relationship
between your vehicle and a vehicle in front,
driver’s own technique of steering the vehi-
cle and irregularly moving traffic due to ac-
cidents or vehicle trouble may deter the
FCM control and alarm from functioning.
l When the system recognizes the driver’s
steering or accelerating actions as evasive actions to avoid collision, FCM control and
alarm functions may be cancelled.
l The FCM control and alarm functions may
be triggered in the following situations.
CAUTION• When there is a structure (B) beside the
entrance of a curve and intersection.
• When running on a narrow iron bridge.

Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM)*
7-59OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

When the switch is held pressed, theON/OFF state of the FCM changes from ON
to OFF and vice versa. If you give the switch
a short press with FCM in the ON state, you can change the collision alarm timing.
To turn on/off the system
You can switch the system from OFF to ONor ON to OFF if you hold the FCM ON/OFF
switch pressed when the operation mode is set to “ON”.
Once the system is turned on, a buzzer sounds, the information screen of the multi-
information display shows the collision alarm
timing currently selected, and the “FCM OFF” indicator on the screen goes out.
When you turn off the system, a buzzer
sound and, at the same time, the “FCM OFF”message appears on the screen and the “FCM
OFF” indicator comes on.
Switching the operation mode to ON will set
the FCM back ON.
To change alarm timing
Give a short press to the FCM ON/OFFswitch to change the timing at which the
frontal collision alarm is triggered. Every time you press the switch, the alarm timingchanges alternately between “FAR” (earlier
alarming) and “NEAR” (later alarming).
As you make a selection, the selected alarm timing is displayed on the information screen
of the multi-information display. Even after turning off FCM or setting the operationmode to “OFF”, the system retains your last
selected alarm timing in memory.
When “NEAR” is selectedWhen “FAR” is selectedCAUTIONl For the FCM brake prefill, the FCM brake
assist and the FCM braking functions, the function triggering timing cannot be changed.

Standby state
In the standby mode, the system is capable of
recognizing the lane in which your vehicle is positioned and issuing audible warning whenyour vehicle goes out of the lane.
The system automatically shifts from the
‘ON state’ to the ‘standby state’ if all of the following conditions are simultaneously met.
The “LDW” indicator in the information dis-
play changes to
indicator (green).
l The vehicle speed is approximately
65 km/h (40 mph) or higher.
l The turn-signal lever is not operated.
l The hazard lamp is not activated.
l The brake pedal is not depressed.
lEnvironmental conditions are adequate
for the system to recognize the lane markings on both sides.
l The system has been placed in the ‘ON
state’.NOTEl The system stays in the “ON” state for about
7 seconds after the hazard lamp has stopped
flashing or the turn-signal lever has returned to the home position.
Lane departure warning
A buzzer sounds intermittently and indication
of “LANE DEPARTURE” appears in the in-
formation display,
indicator flashing in
amber when your vehicle is about to leave or has left the lane in the standby mode.
NOTEl If warning continues for about 3 seconds or
more, the system switches to the standby
mode before the warning stops.System problem warning

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.

Cargo loads precautions
CAUTIONlDo not load cargo or luggage higher than the
top of the seatback. Be sure that your cargo
or luggage cannot move once your vehicle is moving. Having the driver’s vision blocked,
and your cargo being thrown inside the cab- in if you suddenly have to brake can cause a
serious accident or injury.CAUTIONl Load heavy cargo or luggage in the front of
the vehicle. If the load in the back of the ve-
hicle is too heavy, steering may become un- stable.
Loading a roof carrier
CAUTIONl Use a roof carrier that properly fits your ve-
hicle. Do not load luggage directly onto the
roof.
For installation, refer to the instruction man-
ual accompanying the roof carrier.NOTEl We recommend you to use a
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE roof carrier, since the
brackets to be used have a special shape. For details, we recommend you to consult aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
