2018 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV instrument cluster

NOTE•When there is a malfunction in the sys-
tem.
l If you keep pressing the brake auto hold
switch after setting the brake auto hold toON (stand by), the brake auto hold will re-
turn to OFF as a protection function is oper- ated.
After returning to OFF, the brake auto hold will not be switched to ON (stand by) even
if the brake auto hold switch is pressed. To set the brake auto hold to ON, restart the
Plug-in hybrid EV system and press the
brake auto hold switch again.
To activate brake auto hold
When the vehicle is stopped by depressing
the brake pedal with the select position in any
position other than “P” (PARK) or “R” (RE-
VERSE), the brake auto hold activates and
the vehicle will be held stationary.
The brake auto hold indication lamp in the
instrument cluster will come on while the
system activates.CAUTIONl Release the brake pedal after the brake auto
hold indication lamp is illuminated.NOTEl If the following operation is performed, the
brake auto hold will be deactivated automat- ically and the brake auto hold indicationlamp in the instrument cluster goes off.
• When putting the select position to the
“P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while depressing the brake pedal.
• When the Electric parking brake is ap-
plied by using the Electric parking brake switch.
l While the vehicle is held stationary with the
brake auto hold system, the Electric parkingNOTEbrake will be automatically applied underthe following conditions, and a buzzer will sound and the message will appear on the in-
formation screen in the multi information
display.
• After approximately 10 minutes have
elapsed while applying the brake auto hold system.
• When the driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
• When the driver’s door is opened.
• When the operation mode of the power
switch is put in OFF.
• When the system detects the vehicle slid-
ing down a slope.
If the Electric parking brake cannot be applied au- tomatically due to the system malfunction, the
message will appear on the information screen in
the multi information display. Depress the brake pedal.

To start the vehicle
Depress the acceleration pedal with the select
position in any position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
The brakes are released, and the brake auto hold indication lamp in the instrument cluster
will go off.
To turn off brake auto hold
Press the brake auto hold switch to turn brake
auto hold off. The indication lamp on the switch goes off.
If you want to turn off the system while the brake auto hold indication lamp is illumina-
ted, press the switch while depressing the brake pedal.
NOTEl If the brake auto hold system is turned off
without the brake pedal being depressed, abuzzer will sound and the message will ap-
pear on the information screen in the multi
information display.Hill start assist
E00628001237
The hill start assist makes it easy to start off on a steep uphill slope by preventing the ve-
hicle from moving backwards. It keeps the
braking force for about 2 seconds when you move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.CAUTIONl Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to
prevent backwards movement of the vehicle. Under certain circumstances, even when hill
start assist is activated, the vehicle may
move backwards if the brake pedal is not sufficiently depressed, if the vehicle is heav-
ily loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery.
l The hill start assist is not designed to keep
the vehicle stopped in place on uphill slopes for more than 2 seconds.
l When facing uphill, do not rely on using the
hill start assist to maintain a stopped position as an alternative to depressing the brake ped-
al.
Doing so could result in an accident.
l Do not turn the operation mode in ACC or
OFF while the hill start assist is operating.
The hill start assist could stop operating, which could result in an accident.To operate
E00628101498
1. Stop the vehicle completely using the
brake pedal.
2. Put the select position to the “D” posi-
tion.
NOTEl When reversing on an uphill slope, put the
select position to the “R” position.
3. Release the brake pedal and the hill start
assist will maintain the braking force ap-
plied while stopped for approximately 2 seconds.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal and the
hill start assist will gradually decrease the braking force as the vehicle startsmoving.
NOTEl The hill start assist is activated when all of
the following conditions are met.
• The Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operat-
ing.
(The hill start assist will not be activated
while the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is
starting or immediately after the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System has started.)
• The select position is in any position other
than “P” or “N”.

Emergency stop signal
system E00626001259
This is a device that reduces the possibility of rear end collisions by the rapid and automatic blinking of the hazard warning lamps to alert
vehicles approaching from behind during sudden braking. When the emergency stop
signal system operates, the hazard warning indication lamp in the instrument cluster
blinks rapidly at the same time.CAUTIONl If the ABS warning or ASC warning is dis-
played, the emergency stop signal system may not operate. Refer to “ABS warning
lamp/display” on page 7-37.
Refer to “ASC warning lamp/display” on page 7-42.NOTEl [Activating condition for the emergency stop
signal system]
It activates when all of the following condi-
tions are met.
• The vehicle speed is approximately
55 km/h (34 mph) or higher.NOTE• The brake pedal has been depressed, and
the system judges that it was sudden brak- ing from the vehicle deceleration and theoperating condition of the anti-lock brake
system (ABS).
[Deactivating condition for the emergency
stop signal system]
It deactivates when one of the following conditions is met.
• The brake pedal is released.
• The hazard warning flasher switch is
pressed.
• The system judges that it was not sudden
braking from the vehicle deceleration and
the operating condition of the anti-lock
brake system (ABS).Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) E00607102489
Environmental conditions can have an effect
on braking. During sudden braking when there is snow, ice, oil, water etc. on the road
surface, a skid may occur. In this situation, steering control and braking effectiveness is
reduced and the stopping distance is in-
creased. The vehicle may also go into an un- controlled spin.
The ABS helps prevent the wheels from lock-
ing during braking, thus maintaining direc-
tional stability, ensuring controllability and
providing optimum braking force.
Operating hints
l Always maintain the same distance from
the vehicle in front of you as you would for a vehicle not equipped with ABS.
Compared with vehicles not fitted with ABS, your vehicle may require a longer
stopping distance in the following cases: • Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving with snow traction device
(tyre chains) installed.
• Driving on roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has other differences in surface height.
• Driving on bumpy roads or other poor
driving surfaces.
l Operation of ABS is not restricted to sit-
uations where brakes are applied sud-
denly. This system may also operate to
prevent wheel lock when you are driving over manholes, steel road-work plates,
or the vehicle is driven over steps or lev-
el differences in the road, road markings, or other surfaces which are difficult for
the wheels to grip.
