2017 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV headlamp

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
for any damage or injury caused or liability
incurred by improper and negligent opera- tion of a vehicle by the operator. 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.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, switching to
“4WD LOCK” with the 4WD lock switch and temporarily turning off the Active Sta- bility Control (ASC) with the “ASC OFF”
switch will make it easier to move out your vehicle.
Refer to “Operation under adverse driving
conditions: If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow” on page 9-26.
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.

MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.
It may become harder to turn the steering wheel.Active stability control
(ASC) E00616701468
The Active Stability Control (ASC) takes
overall control of the anti-lock brake system, traction control function and stability control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s con-
trol and traction. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on the anti-lock
brake system, traction control function and stability control function.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 7-37
Traction control function ® p. 7-41
Stability control function ® p. 7-41CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle.
This system, like any other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstan- ces. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive care-
fully. This means taking into account the traffic, road and environmental conditions.
l Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not work properly.CAUTIONl Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.NOTEl An operation noise may be emitted from the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System compartment in
the following situations. The sound is asso- ciated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this time, you may feel a shock
from the brake pedal if you depress it. These
do not indicate a malfunction.
• When the operation mode is put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is
turned on.
l When the ASC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys- tem compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

system (TPMS) E00637100282
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
uses tyre inflation pressure sensors (A) on the wheels to monitor the tyre inflation pressures.
The system only indicates when a tyre is sig-
nificantly under-inflated.
The base tyre pressure can be set at desired value by the driver with the reset function ex-
ecution. (The low pressure warning threshold is set based on the reset.)
The tyre inflation pressure sensor IDs for two
sets of tyres can be registered by aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point, and the valid ID set can be switched by the Multi-information display switch (It’s
beneficial in case of seasonal tyre change be-
tween summer tyre and winter tyre.)NOTEl The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) is not a substitute for regularlychecking tyre inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tyre inflation pressures as described in “Tyres” on page 11-10.
l The tyre inflation pressure sensor (B) is in-
stalled in the illustrated location.
• On vehicles with the type 1 sensor which
has the metallic air valve (C), replace
grommet and washer (D) with the new ones when the tyre is replaced.

NOTElBecause the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between park-
ing spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
l In the following situations, the screen indi-
cation may be difficult to see. There is no abnormality.
• Low light (nighttime).
• When the light of the sun or the light from
a vehicle’s headlamps shines directly into
the lens.
l If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This
phenomenon does not indicate a malfunc- tion.
l It is not possible to fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes conta- minated by water droplets, snow, mud or oil,
wipe off the contamination, taking care not to scratch the lens.
l Please observe the following cautions. Ig-
noring them could lead to a camera malfunc-
tion.

Errors between the display and the actual road surface
The reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are based on a level, flat road surface. In the following cases, errors are produced between the display reference lines and the distance on the actual road surface.
When the rear of the vehicle is weighed
down with the weight of passengers and luggage in the vehicle
The reference lines are displayed closer than
the actual distance.
Therefore when there is an obstacle on the
upward slope, it appears farther than its ac- tual position.

To check the fluid level
The fluid level must be between the “MAX”
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.The fluid level is monitored by a float. When
the fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.

The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under thebonnet. The brake system should also be checked for leakage at the same time.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
