2018 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV traction control

CAUTION•When driving in curved sections of road
including their entrance/outlet or running beside a closed lane in a traffic work or
similar zone.
• When your vehicle position in a lane is in-
stable, is frequently steered to right and left, or running unstably due to a trafficaccident, trouble with some vehicles, etc.
• When driving on the road that the vehicle
in front runs in offset position from your
vehicle.
l Never use the ACC in any of the following
situations. Failure to follow this instructioncould lead to an accident.
• On roads with heavy traffic or roads in-
cluding many windings or steep curves.
CAUTION• On roads with slippery surfaces, such as
frozen, snow-covered, and dirt roads.
• Under adverse weather conditions (rain,
snow, sand storms, etc.).
• On steep downslopes.
• On roads including steep up and down
slopes or many changes in inclination.
• In traffic requiring frequent acceleration
and deceleration.
• When the proximity alarm sounds fre-
quently.
• When your vehicle is towed or your vehi-
cle tows another vehicle.
• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna-
mometer or free rollers.
• When the air pressure in the tyres is not
correct.
• When snow traction device (tyre chains)
are attached.
l Be sure to take the following precautions to
keep the system in good operating condi-
tions.
Improper handling of the system compo-
nents may result in degraded sensor per- formance.
• Avoid application of strong shock loads to
the sensor and never tamper with or re- move the sensor mounting screws.
• The cover in front of the sensor and the
sensor should be kept clean.CAUTION• Do not cover the sensor mounted area
(shaded area as shown in the illustration)
with a sticker, licence plate or anything
such as a grill guard, etc.
• The sensor front cover should not be
modified or painted.
• Avoid using different size tyres from
those specified and maintain even tyre
wear.
• Do not modify the suspension of your ve-
hicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*
7-53OGGE18E1Starting and driving7

CAUTIONlCruise control (automatic vehicle speed con-
trol system) does not alert by proximity
alarm and control distance between vehicles to the vehicle in front.Forward Collision
Mitigation System (FCM)* E00635101243
The Forward Collision Mitigation System(FCM) uses a sensor (A) to determine the distance and relative speed to a vehicle and apedestrian in front.
When your vehicle is approaching a vehicle
or a pedestrian straight-ahead in your path
and the FCM judges that there is the risk of a collision, the system gives audible and visualwarnings (forward collision warning func-
tion), increases the brake fluid pressure (FCM brake prefill function), and also pro-vides braking force assistance when you de-press the brake pedal (FCM brake assist func-
tion) to avoid frontal collision.
When the risk of collision increases more, the system 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 avoid possible collision (FCM braking function).
Stop lamps are illuminated during automatic
braking.
If you turn the FCM ON/OFF, the Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS) al- so turns ON/OFF at the same time. (Vehicles
equipped with the UMS)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 frontduring 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 apply
the 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 system is activated or not.
l Never attempt to test the operation of the
FCM. Doing so could cause an accident,
resulting in serious injury or death.

CAUTION•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.
• When passing close to a vehicle, pedes-
trian or object.
• When driving on the road that the vehicle
in front runs in offset position from your
vehicle.
• When passing through an area where ob-
jects may contact the vehicle, such as
thick grass, tree branches, or a banner.
• When there are patterns on the road that
may be mistaken for a vehicle or a pedes- trian.
CAUTION• When a vehicle cuts into your path in the
detecting range of the sensor.
• When an oncoming vehicle is positioned
straight ahead of your vehicle on a curvedroad.
• When passing through a plastic curtain
etc.
• When the FCM detects a long object car-
ried on your vehicle, such as skies or a roof carrier.
• When driving through fog, steam, smoke
or dust.
• When the windscreen of the sensor por-
tion is covered with dirt, water droplets,
snow and ice, etc.
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 using an automatic car wash.
• When your vehicle’s wheels are driven by
the Plug-in Hybrid EV System 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.
• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna-
mometer or free rollers.
• When the tyre pressure is not correct.
• When snow traction device (tyre chains)
are attached.
• If the windscreen on or surrounding the
sensor is cracked or scratched.NOTEl A sound will be heard during the activation
of automatic braking, this is a function of the brake control and is not abnormal.FCM and UMS ON/OFF
switch
E00635601323
This switch is used to turn on and off the FCM and UMS and also to select your de-
sired collision alarm timing.
When the switch is held pressed, the ON/OFF state of the FCM and UMS changes from ON to OFF and vice versa. If you give
the switch a short press with the FCM in the
ON state, you can change the collision alarm timing.

CAUTIONlThe UMS does not operate in the following conditions:
• The operation mode is other than ON.
• The UMS is set to OFF by operating the FCM and UMS ON/OFF switch.
• The select position is in the “P” or “N” position.
• The Active stability control (ASC) is set to OFF by operating the “ASC OFF switch” on page 7-41.
l It sometimes happens that a motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian are detected as obstacles, but these are not the object of the UMS operation.
l The UMS may not operate in the following conditions.
• The sensors or surroundings have been wiped by hand.
• The stickers or accessories have been attached to the sensors or surroundings.
• When driving in the place which the outside temperature changes suddenly (tunnel or garage etc.).
• Under adverse weather conditions (rain, strong winds, snow, sand storms, etc.).
• When approaching an obstacle too closely.
• When a vehicle cuts in front or behind your vehicle very closely.
• When your vehicle changed the course and approached immediately behind an obstacle.
• When only a part of the obstacle is within the detection areas of the sensor.
• When the rain, snow, water or dirt adheres to the sensor.
• When the sensor is extremely hot or cold (while the vehicle is parked for a long period of time under a blazing sun or in cold weather).
• Immediately after Plug-in Hybrid EV System starting.
• When driving on a road with many and successive curves, including when passing their entrances and outlets.
• When you are driving on a road with steep and alternating up and down slopes.
• When a road surface is surging, and there is unevenness.
• When the system judges driver’s steering or gear shifting actions as evasive actions to avoid collision.
• For a short period after the system judges the repeated depression of the accelerator pedal at a few seconds interval as a release operation.
• When the vehicle body is extremely inclined by carrying heavy loads or improper adjustment of the tyre pressure.
• When the driving is unstable due to an accident or trouble.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from other sources (the horns of other vehicles, motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pouring rain, splashing water,
snow traction device (tyre chains), etc.).
• Obstacle is not vertical to the ground, the obstacle is not at right angles to vehicle traveling direction, or when there is uneven walls and wavy walls.
