2017 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV cruise control

By pulling the regenerative braking level se-
lector, the brake force (amount of electrical energy to charge the drive battery) can be ad- justed according to the driving condition suchas 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.
l 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 When stronger regenerative braking is gen-
erated, the stop lamps will illuminate even when the brake pedal is not depressed.
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
Each time you pull the + (UP) paddle to-
wards you, the regenerative brake force low- ers by one level.Regenerative braking level selector (paddle)*

NOTE•When the protecting device of the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System is working.
l When the battery charge mode switch or the
battery save mode switch is turned on while
driving in the EV priority mode, the mode changes to the selected mode.
If the EV switch is pressed, the mode is re- turned to the EV priority mode.
However, the mode may not return to the
EV priority mode depending on the remain- ing power in the drive battery.
l In any of the situations listed below, the EV
priority mode continues even if the engine is automatically started.
• When the accelerator pedal is fully de-
pressed.
• When the vehicle speed is over 120 km/h
(74 mph).
• When the cruise control or Adaptive
Cruise Control System (ACC) is operat-
ing.
• When the demister switch is pressed.
NOTEl If the ambient temperature is low, the engine
may start for heating when the air condition- er is operated.
If you want to stop the engine running for heating, select the EV priority mode before
operating the air conditioner.
l In the EV priority mode, the accelerator ped-
al response may be negative even if the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed or released.
l The motor output in the EV priority mode
may decrease due to the deteriorated drive
battery or the ambient temperature falls. In such a case, start the engine by cancelling
the EV priority mode to secure the motor output.Battery save mode switch
E00636800064
The remaining quantity of the drive battery
can be kept if you drive in the EV driving mode at a residential area or use electric
power at the destination.
Moreover, the electric power consumption of
the drive battery can also be held down by
pressing the battery save mode switch while high-speed driving.
If the battery save mode switch is pressed
while the ready indicator is on, the engine will start to keep the remaining quantity of
the drive battery, the vehicle operates in the series hybrid mode or the parallel hybrid mode.
It can be cancelled, if it is pressed once again.
If the battery save mode is activated, the fol-
lowing image is displayed on the information
screen in the multi-information display.

ASC operation indicator orASC OFF indicator
E00619301771
-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.CAUTIONl 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.
NOTEl The 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*

CAUTIONlWhen 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.
l 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.

If the set speed driving is deactivated by the
condition described in “To deactivate” on
page 7-46, you can resume the previously set
speed by push up the RES + switch (C) while
driving at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph)
or higher. The “SET” indicator appears on
the information display in the meter cluster.
Under either of the following conditions, however, using the switch does not allow you
to resume the previously set speed. In these
situations, repeat the speed setting procedure:
l The CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF
switch is pressed.
l The operation mode is put in OFF.
l The indicator display goes off.Speed Limiter*
E00633201093
The Speed Limiter is a driver assist functionto prevent from exceeding the speed set by
driver while Plug-in Hybrid EV System pow- er control.
CAUTIONl Because the system does not use service
brake (hydraulic brake), the vehicle speed
may exceed the set speed on the downhill.
If a driver wants to keep the vehicle speed in such a situation, he/she must put on a servicebrake.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed
(about 3 km/h (2 mph)), the indicator will
brink in the combination meter.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed about +3 km/h (2 mph) more than about 5
seconds after indicated alert message, beep
alert is sounded for about 10 seconds at the most.
While running without alert message, if you
decrease the set speed and vehicle speed is more than set speed about +3 km/h (2 mph) ,
alert message is displayed but beep alert is delayed.
In this case, when vehicle speed keeps ex-
ceeding set speed about +3 km/h (2 mph) for
about 30 seconds after the alert message is appeared, beep alert is sounded for about 10
seconds at the most.
If the vehicle speeds decreases less than set
speeds after the alert message is appeared, the message is disappeared. When beep alert is sounding, the beep alert also goes off.NOTEl However, this gives priority to audio and
visual signal of safety reasons or driver’s de-mand.Speed Limiter control switches
