2018 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV brake

CAUTIONlAs your vehicle is equipped with the rain
sensor, place the wiper switch lever in the“OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor
before washing the vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will operate in the presence of waterspray on the windscreen and may get dam-
aged as a result.
l Refrain from excessively using a car wash as
its brushes may scratch the paint surface,
causing it to lose its gloss. Scratches will be
especially visible on darker coloured vehi-
cles.
l Never spray or splash water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment. Do- ing so could have an adverse effect on the
Plug-in Hybrid EV system startability.
Exercise caution also when washing the un-
derbody; be careful not to spray water into the engine compartment.
l Some types of hot water washing equipment
apply high pressure and heat to the vehicle. They may cause heat distortion and damage
to the vehicle resin parts and may result in flooding of the vehicle interior.
Therefore:
• Maintain a distance of approx. 70 cm or
more between the vehicle body and the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass,
hold the nozzle at a distance of more than
70 cm and at right angles to the glass sur- face.CAUTIONl After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times in order to dry out the
brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in re- duced braking performance. Also, there is a possibility that they could freeze up or be-
come inoperative due to rust, rendering the vehicle unable to move.
l When using an automatic car wash, pay at-
tention to the following items, referring to the operation manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the following procedure is not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• The wiper arms are secured in place with
tape.
• As your vehicle is equipped with roof
rails, consult a car wash operator before using a car wash.
• As your vehicle is equipped with the rain
sensor, place the wiper switch lever in the“OFF” position to deactivate the rain sen-
sor.
• Make sure that the charging lid and the
fuel lid are completely closed.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the Ultra-
sonic misacceleration Mitigation System
(UMS), turn the system off by using “FCM and UMS ON/OFF switch” on page 7-68.During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals spread on the roads
in some areas in winter can have a harmful effect on the vehicle body. You should there-
fore wash the vehicle as often as possible in accordance with our care-instructions. It is
recommended to have a preservative applied
and the underfloor protection checked before and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all wa- terdrops from the rubber parts around the
doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
NOTEl To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone spray.Waxing
E00901000919
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the ad-
herence of dust and road chemicals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after wash- ing the vehicle, or at least once every three
months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.
You should wax after the surfaces have
cooled.
For information on how to use wax refer to the instruction manual of the wax.

CAUTIONlWaxes containing high abrasive compounds
should not be used.
l On vehicles with a sunroof, be careful when
waxing the area around the sunroof opening, not to put any wax on the weatherstrip
(black rubber). If stained with wax, the
weatherstrip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal with the sunroof.Polishing
E00901100066
The vehicle should only be polished if the
paintwork has become stained or lost its lus- tre. Do not polish parts with a mat coating
and the plastic bumpers. Doing so could cause stains or damage the finish.
Cleaning plastic parts
E00901300808
Use a sponge or chamois leather.
If a car wax adheres on a grey or black rough surface of the bumper, moulding or lamps,
the surface becomes white. In such a case,
wipe it off using lukewarm water and soft cloth or chamois leather.
CAUTIONl Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard
tools as they may damage the plastic part surface.CAUTIONl Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine
oils, greases, paint thinners, and sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack,stain or discolour the plastic parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them off
with soft cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent thenimmediately rinse the affected parts with
water.Chrome parts
E00901400098
In order to prevent spots and corrosion of
chrome parts, wash with water, dry thorough-
ly, and apply a special protective coating.
This should be done more frequently in win- ter.
Aluminium wheels
E00901501676
1. Remove dirt using a sponge while sprin-
kling water on the wheels.
2. Use neutral detergent on any dirt that
cannot be removed easily with water.
Rinse off the neutral detergent after
washing the wheels.
3. Dry the wheels thoroughly using a cha-
mois leather or a soft cloth.
CAUTIONl Do not use a brush or other hard implement
on the wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels.
l Do not use any cleaner that contains an abra-
sive substance or is acidic or alkaline. Doing
so could cause the coating on the wheels to peel or become discoloured or stained.
l Do not directly apply hot water using a
steam cleaner or by any other means.
l Contact with seawater and road deicer can
cause corrosion. Rinse off such substances as soon as possible.Window glass
E00901600117
The window glass can normally be cleaned
using only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease, insect carcasses, etc. After washing
the glass, wipe it dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Never use a cloth that is used for clean-ing a painted surface to clean a window. Waxfrom the painted surface could get on the
glass and lower glass transparency and visi-
bility.

The concentration should be checked beforethe start of cold weather and anti-freeze add-
ed to the system if necessary.Washer fluid
E01000702214
Open the washer fluid reservoir cap andcheck the level of washer fluid with the dip- stick.
If the level is low, replenish the container with washer fluid.
NOTEl The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen, rear window and headlamps.During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid
E01000801827
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.

Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in
the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake system, reducing the performance.
WARNINGl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your
skin and will damage painted surfaces. Wipe up any spills immediately.
If brake fluid gets on your hand or in
your eyes, flush immediately with clean water. Follow up with a doctor as necessa-
ry.CAUTIONl Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
l Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex- cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.Auxiliary battery
E01001203705
The condition of the auxiliary battery is very
important for quick starting of the plug-in hy-
brid EV system and proper functioning of the vehicle’s electrical system. Regular inspec- tion is especially important in cold weather.
Be sure to have a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point check the auxiliary battery.WARNINGl Be sure to have a
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point

1- Location of the tread wear indicator
2- Tread wear indicator
Check the tyres for cuts, cracks and other damage. Replace the tyres if there are deep
cuts or cracks. Also check each tyre for pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous
because of the greater chance of skidding or
hydroplaning. The tread depth of the tyres
must exceed 1.6 mm in order for the tyres to meet the minimum requirement for use.
Tread wear indicators will appear on the sur-
face of the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby in-
dicating that the tyre no longer meets the
minimum requirement for use. When these wear indicators appear, the tyres must be re-
placed with new ones.
When replacement of any of the tyres is nec-
essary, replace all of them.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres of differentsize, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-
crease the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driving sys-
tem. Further, the drive train will be subjec- ted to excessive loading, possibly leading tooil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.Replacing tyres and wheels
E01007201820
CAUTIONl Avoid using different size tyres from the one
listed and the combined use of different
types of tyres, as this can affect driving safe- ty.
Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page
12-08.
l Even if a wheel has the same rim size and
offset as the specified type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor- rectly. We recommend you to consult a spe-
cialist before using wheels that you have.CAUTIONl As your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE wheels should be
used. Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sensor damage, as it will not be
possible to install the tyre pressure sensor properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)” on page 7-89.NOTEl A steel wheel with diameter of 16 inches
cannot be used on your vehicle because it in- terferes with brake parts.
Additionally, an aluminium wheel with di- ameter of 16 inches may not be used on your
vehicle depending on its type, even if a MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE wheel.
Consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point before using wheels that you have.Tyre rotation
E01001902516
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,
road surface conditions and individual driv- er’s driving habits. To equalize the wear andhelp extend tyre life, it is recommended to ro-
tate the tyres immediately after discovery of
abnormal wear, or whenever the wear differ- ence between the front and rear tyres is rec-
ognizable.
