2020 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV Owner's Manual (in English)

Auxiliary battery charge warn-ing lamp
This warning lamp will illu- minate when there is a fault
with the charging system of
the auxiliary battery.
Normally, when the opera-
tion mode of the power
switch is put in ON, this warning lamp will illuminate. Then, when the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is started and the ready indicator
illuminates, the warning lamp will go out.
CAUT,ONz If the warning lamp stays on after the ready
indicator illuminates, there may be a prob- lem with the charging system for the auxili- ary battery.

CAUT,ONzIf a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated,
resulting in ineffective braking and possible brake failure.
If this warning is displayed, release the park-
ing brake.
When the operation mode of the power
switch is put in ON, if the brake fluid is low,
this warning is displayed.
The warning lamp in the instrument cluster also illuminates.
CAUT,ONz If this warning stays illuminated and does
not go out while driving, there is a danger of
ineffective braking. In this case, immediately
park your vehicle in a safe place and we rec-
ommend you to have it checked.CAUT,ONz If the brake warning display is displayed and
the brake warning lamp and the ABS warn-
ing lamp are illuminated at the same time,
the braking force distribution function will not operate, so the vehicle may be destabi-
lised during sudden braking. Avoid sudden
braking and high-speed driving, stop the ve- hicle in a safe place, and we recommend you
to have it checked.
z The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake perform-
ance has deteriorated.

NOTEzDo not leave the lights on for a long time
while the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is sta-tionary (not operating). A run-down auxili- ary battery could result.
z When it rains, or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy, but this does not indicate a
functional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will remove the fog. However, if water gathers
inside the lamp, we recommend you to have it checked.
Rotate the switch to turn on the lamps.

Dipper (High/Low beamchange)
When the lamp switch is in the “” posi-
tion, the beam changes from high to low (or
low to high) each time the lever is pulled
fully (1). While the high-beam is on, the
high-beam indication lamp in the instrument
cluster will also illuminate.
Headlamp flasher
The high-beams flash when the lever is
pulled slightly (2), and will go off when it is released.
When the high-beam is on, the high-beam in- dication lamp in the instrument cluster will il-
luminate.
NOTEz The high-beams can also flash when the
lamp switch is OFF.
z If you turn the lamps off with the headlamps
set to high-beam, the headlamps are auto- matically returned to their low-beam setting
when the lamp switch is next turned to the
“
” position.
Automatic High-Beam*
The Automatic High-Beam (AHB) switches
the headlamp beams (high/low) when the
sensor (A) senses a illuminant such as lights
of a vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle or a street lamp.
:ARN,NGz The headlamp beams (high/low) may not
be switched automatically under certain
circumstances. Do not overestimate the system. It is the responsibility of the driv-er to switch the headlamp beams (high/
low) manually to suit each driving condi- tion.
Refer to “Dipper (High/Low beam
change)” on page 6-61.How to use the AHB
1. Rotate the lamp switch to the “” posi-
tion or “AUTO” position when the Plug-
in Hybrid EV System is operating.
2. Press the AHB switch.
The AHB is activated and the indicator
will illuminate.

Automatic switching conditions
The high-beam headlamps illuminate when
all of the following conditions are met:
z Your vehicle speed exceeds approxi-
mately 40 km/h (25 mph).
z It is dark ahead of your vehicle.
z There are no vehicles in front or oncom-
ing vehicles, or none of their exterior
lamps are illuminated.
The low beam headlamps illuminate when any of the following conditions occur:
z Your vehicle speed does not exceed ap-
proximately 30 km/h (19 mph).
z It is bright ahead of your vehicle.
z An exterior lamp of a vehicle in front or
oncoming vehicle is illuminating.
NOTEz The headlamps may not be switched from
high-beam to low beam under the following circumstances.

NOTEzThe AHB recognises environmental condi-
tions by sensing a light source ahead of your
vehicle. Therefore, you may feel like some- thing is not quite right when the headlamp
beams are switched automatically.
z The system may not detect a light vehicle
such as a bicycle.
z The system may not detect an ambient
brightness precisely. This causes the trafficto be dazzled by high-beam or the low beam
to be maintained. In such cases, you should switch the headlamp beams manually.

Sensor is too hot or cold
If the system becomes temporarily unavaila-ble due to a high or low temperature of thesensor, the following warning display willappear.
After the temperature of the sensor has been
in range, the system will automatically return
to operation.
If the warning display does not disappear af- ter waiting for a while, there is a possibilitythat the AHB has a malfunction. Contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point for inspection of the system.
Windscreen is dirty
If the AHB determines that its performance
has been degraded, the warning display will appear.
This can occur when:
z Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or
ice, adhere to the windscreen of the sen-
sor portion.
z There are adverse weather conditions,
such as rain, snow, sand storms, etc.
z A vehicle in front or an oncoming vehi-
cle is splashing water, snow or dirt.
When the sensor performance returns, the
AHB will resume operation.
If the warning display does not disappear af- ter waiting for a while, there is a possibilitythat the sensor has a malfunction. Contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point for inspection of the sensor.Welcome light
