2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV stop start

“ASC OFF” switch
E00619201581
The ASC is automatically activated when the
operation mode is put in ON. You can deacti-
vate the system by pressing down the “ASC
OFF” switch for 3 seconds or longer.
When the ASC is deactivated, the
display/
indicator will turn on. To reactivate the ASC, momentarily press the “ASC OFF” switch;
the
indicator is turned off.
CAUTIONl For safety reasons, the “ASC OFF” switch
should be operated when your vehicle is stopped.
l Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in
normal circumstances.
l In case you turn off the ASC to move out
from mud or sand etc., press the “ASC OFF” switch to activate the ASC quickly aftermoving out, and do not turn off the ASC un-
less it is necessary.CAUTIONl If it continues racing the tyre by depressing
the accelerator pedal too much while ASC is turned off, parts such as the transaxle may
be damaged and this could lead to an unex- pected accident.NOTEl When moving out of mud, sand or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not
allow the Plug-in Hybrid EV System output to increase. In such situations, if you turn off the ASC by pressing the “ASC OFF” switch,
it becomes easy to rotate the driving wheel
and it may effective to move away.
Refer to “If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow” on page 9-21.
l Using the “ASC OFF” switch turns off both
the stability control function and the traction control function.
l If you continue to press the “ASC OFF”
switch after the ASC is turned off, the “mis- taken operation protection function” will ac-tivate and the ASC will turn back on.ASC operation indicator or

-ASC operation indicator
The indicator will blink when the ASC is operating. -ASC OFF indicator
This indicator will turn on
when the ASC is turned off with the “ASC OFF” switch.CAUTIONl When indicator blinks, ASC is operating,
which means that the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels are beginning to slip.
If this happens, drive slower with less accel- erator input.
l If the temperature in the braking system con-
tinues to increase due to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the
in-
dicator will blink. To prevent the brake sys- tem from overheating, the brake control of the traction control function will be tempora-
rily suspended.
The Plug-in Hybrid EV System control of the traction control function and normal
brake operation will not be affected. Park your vehicle in a safe place. When the tem-
perature in the braking system has come
down, the
indicator will be turned off and
the traction control function will start operat-
ing again.

NOTElThe indicator may turn on when you start
the Plug-in Hybrid EV System. This means that the battery voltage momentarily drop- ped when the Plug-in Hybrid EV System
was started. It does not indicate a malfunc- tion, provided that the indicator goes out im-
mediately.ASC warning lamp/display

Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
Restart the Plug-in Hybrid EV System and check whether the display/indicator goes out. If they go out, there is no abnormal con-
dition. If they do not go out or appear fre-
quently, it is not necessary to stop the vehi- cle immediately, but we recommend you tohave your vehicle inspected.Cruise control*
E00609102281
Cruise control is an automatic speed controlsystem that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.
CAUTIONl When you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
l Do not use cruise control when driving con-
ditions will not allow you to stay at the same
speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet, slippery, on a steep downhill slope.NOTEl Cruise control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.NOTEl Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.
l Your speed may increase to more than the
set speed on a steep downhill. You must use the brake to control your speed. As a result, the set speed driving is deactivated.
l The regenerative level B0 or B1 cannot be
selected under the cruise control. The buzzer
sounds if you try to select these levels.

Stop using the Speed Limiter and turn off
the Speed Limiter. Have your vehicle in-
spected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Serv-
ice Point.CAUTIONl There is a possibility for the Speed Limiter
to allow abrupt acceleration corresponding
to accelerator pedal position when the Speed Limiter is deactivated. Be careful.To resume
E00634501048
The Speed Limiter memorizes the set speed
when system has been deactivated, the Speed
Limiter can resume by push up the RES +
switch (C).
However, the Speed Limiter immediately
starts controlling and the vehicle decreases as if an accelerator pedal is closed fully, whenthe vehicle speed is higher than the set speed.CAUTIONl There is a possibility to occur jerk, depend-
ing on a running resistance. Be careful.Adaptive Cruise Control
System (ACC)* E00634601166
The ACC maintains a set speed with no needfor you to use the accelerator pedal. Using a
sensor (A), the system also measures the rela- tive speed and distance between your vehicle
and a vehicle in front, and maintains a set fol- lowing distance between your vehicle and thevehicle in front by automatically decelerating
your vehicle if it becomes too close to the ve-
hicle in front.
The ACC is the driver assist system to make comfortable on a freeway. Stop lamps are il-luminated during automatic braking.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*
7-43OGGE16E1Starting and driving7

When ACC detects a vehicle infront 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.
WARNINGl Your 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.
• 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.

lDepress 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 in the “P”
(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE) or the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.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-

When the risk of collision increases more, thesystem 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.
If you turn the FCM ON/OFF, the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System also turns
ON/OFF at the same time. (Vehicle is equip- ped with the Ultrasonic misacceleration Miti-
gation System.)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.
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
E00635501289
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 Forward collision warning 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.CAUTIONl When 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 in the “P”
(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE), or the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.

CAUTIONcally. 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 driver’s steer-
ing or accelerating actions as evasive actions to avoid collision, the 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.
• When passing through a gate with small
head or side clearances.
• When there are metallic objects, steps or
projections on the road surface.
• When quickly approaching a vehicle in
front to overtake it.
• When passing an electronic toll collection
gate.
• When running under an overpass, a pe-
destrian overpass or a small tunnel.
• When running in Multi-storey car park.
• When the road gradiently and suddenly
changes while running.
• When stopping very close to a wall or a
vehicle in front.
CAUTION• When passing close to a vehicle or an ob-
ject.
• When driving on the road that the vehicle
in front runs in offset position from your
vehicle.
l Turn off the system beforehand when the ve-
hicle is placed in any of the following situa-
tions as the system can operate unexpected- ly.
• When your vehicle’s wheels are driven by
the engine on a lift.
• When your vehicle is towed or your vehi-
cle tows another vehicle.
• When your vehicle is carried on a truck.
• When enjoying sports driving on a circuit.
