2018 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV Owner's Manual (in English)

The Speed Limiter will resume when the ve-hicle speed goes down to enough less than
the set speed.
Put on an accelerator pedal to the pedal
stroke end. (over a detent that makes pedal reaction force bigger before pedal stroke end)
CAUTIONl There is a possibility for the Speed Limiter
to allow abrupt acceleration corresponding
to accelerator pedal position. So be careful
of the abrupt acceleration.
If vehicle speed exceeds set speed about
+3 km/h (2 mph), alert messages are ap- peared in the combination meter.
CAUTIONl Be careful about over speed.NOTElA driver can change the set speed during this
emergency use.To deactivate

Use whichever following ways to deactivate.
l Press CANCEL switch
l Press the Speed Limiter ON/OFF switch
l If CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF switch
or ACC ON/OFF switch is pressed, the Speed Limiter will be cancelled.
CAUTIONl There is a possibility for the Speed Limiter
to allow abrupt acceleration corresponding
to accelerator pedal position when the Speed Limiter is deactivated. Be careful.NOTEl If the Speed Limiter is cancelled by other
states, it may be a system malfunction.
Stop using the Speed Limiter and turn off
the Speed Limiter. Have your vehicle in-
spected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Serv-
ice Point.To resume

The Speed Limiter memorizes the set speed
when system has been deactivated, the Speed
Limiter can resume by push up the RES +
switch (C).
However, the Speed Limiter immediately
starts controlling and the vehicle decreases as if an accelerator pedal is closed fully, whenthe vehicle speed is higher than the set speed.

CAUTIONlThere is a possibility to occur jerk, depend-
ing on a running resistance. Be careful.Adaptive Cruise Control
System (ACC)* E00634601300
The ACC maintains a set speed with no needfor you to use the accelerator pedal. Using a
sensor (A), the system also measures the rela- tive speed and distance between your vehicle
and a vehicle in front, and maintains a set fol- lowing distance between your vehicle and thevehicle in front by automatically decelerating
your vehicle if it becomes too close to the ve-
hicle in front.
The ACC is the driver assist system to make comfortable on a freeway. Stop lamps are il-luminated during automatic braking.
If you desire, a cruise control without inter-
vention of the following distance control is
also selectable.WARNINGl A driver is responsible for driving safely.
Even if the ACC is in use, always grasp the surrounding circumstances and pro- vide for safe driving.
l Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is
the system to reduce load on the driver.
The ACC is not a collision avoidance sys- tem or an automatic driving system. The
system is not intended to compensate for driver’s loss of attention to the front dur-
ing driving due to distraction or careless-
ness 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.WARNINGl This system may not correctly detect the
actual situation depending on the type of
vehicle in front and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road condi-
tions.
Additionally, the system may be unable to decelerate sufficiently if the vehicle infront applies the brakes suddenly or an-
other vehicle cuts into your path, so your vehicle approaches the front vehicle.
Improper usage of this system or loss of attention to the front by the over-rely on
the ACC, may result in a serious accident.CAUTIONl In the following situations, the system may
become transiently unable to detect a vehicle in front or triggers its control and alarm
functions by detecting something other than a vehicle in front.

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

CAUTIONlWhen the cover in front of the sensor or the
sensor is deformed by an accident, please do
not use the ACC and contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.NOTEl You cannot operate the regenerative brake
controls while the ACC is operating. If do-
ing so, the buzzer sounds.
l If you turn on the ACC when the select posi-
tion is in “B” (including B0 to B5) position,
the select position is changed to “D” posi- tion.
When ACC detects no vehicle
in front within the set distance
Your vehicle runs at a speed to which you set. It is possible to set the speed between ap-
proximately 40 and 180 km/h.
NOTEl If the vehicle speed exceed the set speed on
down slope, the system automatically ap-plies the brake to maintain the vehicle speed.
l When depressing the brake pedal while auto-
matic brake is applied, the brake pedal is felt solidly, but it is not abnormal. You can moredepress the pedal and it provides greater
braking force.NOTEl Sound is heard while automatic brake, but it
is operated a brake control and not abnor-
mal.
When ACC detects a vehicle in
front within the set distance
The ACC makes control to maintain a fol- lowing distance (time gap) matched with the vehicle speed between your vehicle and a ve-
hicle in front while also activating brakes as necessary.
If the vehicle in front stops, the ACC reacts
to it by stopping your vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal as soon as your vehi- cle comes to a stop.
CAUTIONl Never leave the vehicle when it is stopped
by automatic braking.NOTEl If you do not depress the brake pedal within
2 seconds after an automatic stop, you arealerted to automatic cancellation of the ACC
by a buzzer and display message and the
ACC shift into the ‘standby state’.
The vehicle will then start creeping as the
brakes are released.
When the ACC no longer detects any vehicle
in front, a buzzer sounds and the symbol of
vehicle running ahead disappears from the
screen. The vehicle is slowly accelerated to
resume the set speed and continues running at
that speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*
7-54OGGE18E1Starting and driving7

WARNINGlYour vehicle may accelerate up to the set
speed in the following situations. Apply the brake, if necessary, to slow down.
• When your vehicle no longer follows
the vehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway ex-it or when your vehicle or the vehicle in
front changes its lane.WARNING• When driving on a curve.
l If the vehicle in front turns off or changes
lane and another stationary vehicle is lo- cated in front of that vehicle, the ACCwill not make deceleration control to the
stationary vehicle.
Proximity alarm
E00634701079
While the ACC is active, if your vehicle ap-
proaches too closely to a vehicle in front be-cause the ACC cannot allow for an adequate
deceleration in such cases as rapid decelera-
tion of the vehicle in front or apparition of a vehicle cutting in front of your vehicle, the
ACC gives a warning by sounding a buzzer and displaying a message.
If this happens, increase the following dis-
tance by depressing the brake pedal or mak- ing other decelerating control.
CAUTIONl When the ACC is not in use, turn off the
system to prevent it from operating by mis-take and an unexpected accident.
l Never operate the ACC from outside the ve-
hicle.
l Neither control nor a warning are performed
in the following situation.
• Something other than a vehicle ap-
proaches, such as a pedestrian.
• When there is an abnormality in the sys-
tem (When the ACC detectes an abnor-mality, “ACC SERVICE REQUIRED” is
indicated.)
l The ACC makes neither acceleration nor de-
celeration control and only issues warning inthe following situation.
• The vehicle in front is parked or moving
at an extremely slow speed.
l The ACC may not be able to maintain the
set speed or the distance to a vehicle in front
and may not alert the driver, if the system

CAUTIONcannot detect the vehicle in front properly, in
the following situations.
• When a vehicle cuts in front of your vehi-
cle very closely.
• When a vehicle in front is offset to the left
or right.
• When a vehicle in front is towing a trailer.
• The vehicle in front is moving at a speed
much lower than your vehicle’s.
• A motorcycle or a bicycle.
• A freight trailer that is not carrying a con-
tainer.
• The vehicle has a protruding load from
the carrier.
• When the vehicle has a low weight.
• When the vehicle has an extremely high
ground clearance.
• When there is repeated steep uphill and
downhill driving.
• When driving on an irregular or uneven
road surface.
• When being driven in a tunnel.
• When you are carrying extremely heavy
loads in the rear seats or luggage area.
• When the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is
starting.
• 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 the cover part in front of the sensor
and the sensor become dirty or have snowand ice adhering to it*.CAUTION• When water, snow or sand on the road are
extorted by the vehicle in front or an on- coming vehicle*.
*: After the ACC control has been cancelled
automatically due to detection of a state of decline in performance, the ACC will notoperate in the temporary condition and will
inform the driver by buzzer and indication.
When the ACC is in the state in which it can
operate, indication is cancelled. Should indi- cations not be cancelled, then there is a pos- sible abnormality in the system.

NOTElEven if the ACC is in the activated state
when the operation mode is set to “OFF”,
the system does not automatically become
activated when the operation mode is set to “ON” next time.
To activate ACC control
With the ACC turned on (in the ‘standby
state’), push down the “SET -” switch whiledriving.
When your desired speed is reached, release
the “SET -” switch; then this speed is set and
the ACC initiates the speed control to the set speed.
The set speed is indicated on the informationscreen of the multi-information display.
The ACC can be selected between approxi-
mately 40 km/h (25 mph) to 180 km/h
(112 mph).
You can set and initiate the speed control when driving at approximately 10-40 km/h
while a vehicle in front is being detected. In this case, the target speed is set to 40 km/h
(25 mph).
Setting to any speed outside this range does
not cause the ACC to start the control.
When the ACC is initialized, a buzzer sound
is heard and the “SET” indicator lights up on the screen. At the same time, the display showing the following distance setting and
the running-ahead vehicle symbol (only when
the ACC is detecting a vehicle in front) is switched to the in-control mode display.NOTEl The ACC cannot start the control when any
of the following conditions is present. You
are alerted to this state by a sounding buzzer.
• When the vehicle speed is lower than ap-
proximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or 180 km/h
(112 mph) or higher.
• When the vehicle is running at a speed be-
tween approximately 10 km/h (6 mph)
and 40 km/h (25 mph) and the ACC does
not detect a vehicle in front.
• When ASC is in the OFF state.
• When ABS, ASC or TCL is working.
