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

NOTE

NOTEzSet speed adjustment is impossible while the
accelerator pedal is in a depressed position.
To decrease the set speed
There are two ways to decrease the set speed.
By using the “SET -” switch:
The set speed decreases by 1 km/h (1 mph) every time you push down the “SET -”switch while the ACC control is working. If
you hold the switch pushed down, the set
speed decreases in increments of 5 km/h (3 mph).
CAUT,ONz The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.NOTEz There is some time lag between setting to a
new speed and actually decelerating to that
speed.
z If there is a vehicle in front and your vehicle
is following that vehicle at a speed lower
than the set speed, the set speed alone de- creases with no actual deceleration taking
place.
z When the switch is held pushed, a buzzer
sounds every time the set speed changes.
By using the brake pedal:
If you depress the brake pedal while the ACC
control is working, the control is cancelled,allowing you to decelerate the vehicle.
At the point where the vehicle slows down to
your desired speed, push down the “SET -” switch; the new speed is then set in the sys-tem.
NOTEz The ACC control is cancelled if you depress
the brake pedal and the ACC control does
not resume even when you release the pedal.
To temporarily accelerate the
vehicle
Simply depress the accelerator pedal to tem-
porarily accelerate the vehicle. Releasing the
pedal automatically slows down the vehicle to the set speed and ACC restarts its control.
CAUT,ONz The ACC braking control and proximity
alarm functions will not work while the ac- celerator pedal is depressed.
z The setting speed should be set up the suita-
ble speed according to a situation.

NOTEzThe set speed indication on the display turns
to “---” when the accelerator pedal is de- pressed. This indication remains as long as
the pedal is in a depressed position.
z In certain conditions, the braking control and
alarming functions of ACC may not work
for a short while after releasing the accelera- tor pedal.
z Set speed adjustment is impossible while the
accelerator pedal is in a depressed position.
To terminate ACC control
To cancel of ACC control
You can cancel the ACC control by using ei-
ther of the methods below.
When the control is cancelled, the system is placed in the ‘standby state’. You can makethe system restart the control by using the
“SET -” or “RES +” switch if the conditions
for activating the control are met.
z Press the “CANCEL” switch.
z Depress the brake pedal.NOTEzYou can also cancel the ACC control by
pressing the “ACC ON/OFF” switch. If thisswitch is pressed, ACC is turned off.
When the system shifts into the ‘standby
state’ as a result of cancellation of the ACC
control, the“ SET” indicator goes out. At the same time, the display of the following dis-
tance setting and running-ahead vehicle sym- bol (only when ACC is detecting a vehicle) is
placed in the standby state of display.
The ACC control is automatically cancelled
and the ACC is placed in the ‘standby’ state
in any of the situations listed below; you are
alerted to this condition by the sound of a
buzzer and a message on the display. You can make the system restart the control by using
the “SET -” or “RES +” switch if the condi-
tions for resuming the control are reestablish-
ed.
z When your vehicle stops as the vehicle
in front stops.
z When ASC is turned off.
z When ABS, ASC or TCL is in operation.
Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC)*

zWhen the select position is in the “P”
(PARK), the “R” (REVERSE) or the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
z When the parking brake is applied.:ARN,NGzAlthough the set speed driving will be de-
activated when shifting to the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position, never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position
while using regenerative braking as it
could cause a serious accident.
When the ACC system determines that its
performance has been degraded, a buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed in the multi information display.
This can occur when:
z Foreign objects, such as dirt, snow or
ice, adhere to the surface of the sensor.
z There are adverse weather conditions,
such as rain, snow or sand storms, etc.
z A vehicle in front or an oncoming vehi-
cle is splashing water, snow or dirt.
z Driving on a nonbusy road with a few
vehicles and obstacles in front.
z The brake system is overheating due to
continuous brake control on long down- hill road.
If the display keeps showing the message,
there is a possibility that the ACC has a mal- function. Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
When the ACC system detects an abnormali-
ty in the system, the ACC system will be turned off, a buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed in the multi information
display.
If the message remains after the operation mode has been turned to the “OFF” position and then turned back to the “ON” position,
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.To turn off ACC
Press the “ACC ON/OFF” switch when ACC
is in the ‘ON state’ to turn off ACC.
NOTEz Pressing the switch turns off the ACC even
if it is engaged.
z The set speed is cancelled when the ACC is
turned off or the operation mode is set to
“OFF”.
z If the ACC is in the ‘ON state’ when the op-
eration mode is set to “OFF”, the system is
set to the ‘OFF state’ when the operation mode is set to “ON” next time.

To resume the control
After cancelling the ACC control (i.e. placingthe system in the ‘standby state’) by pressing
the “CANCEL” switch or depressing the brake pedal, you can resume the ACC control
at the originally set speed if you push up the
“RES -” switch.
NOTEz The conditions to be met before the ACC
control can be resumed are the same as those for starting the ACC control.To change the following dis-
tance setting
Every time you press the following distance
setting switch, the setting changes sequential- ly through three options “Long”, “Middle”
and “Short”, cycling back to “Long” after “Short”. The distance setting is reset when
the operation mode is set to “OFF” or when the ACC is set to “OFF,” and is automatically
set to “long” when you set the ACC to “ON”
next time.
NOTEz The following distance varies as a function
of the speed; the faster the set speed, the lon- ger the following distance.Following distance setting: “Long”Following distance setting: “Middle”Following distance setting: “Short”
To activate cruise control (auto-
matic speed control)
If you hold the “ACC ON/OFF” switch
pressed with the operation mode set to “ON” and the ACC in the ‘OFF state’, the cruisecontrol is activated. The information screen
of the multi-information display then changes to the cruise control screen and a buzzer
sounds at the same time.
Cruise control is turned off if you set the op-
eration mode to “OFF”.

CAUT,ONzCruise 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)*
The Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM) uses a sensor (A) to determine the
distance and relative speed to a vehicle and a pedestrian 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 visual warnings (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 avoidpossible 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):ARN,NGz 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.
z 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.
z Never attempt to test the operation of the
FCM. Doing so could cause an accident,
resulting in serious injury or death.
Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM)*

Forward collision warningfunction
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe- destrian in front, this function warns you of
the potential hazard with visual and audible
alarms.
When this function is triggered, a buzzer
sounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE!”
message appears on the information screen of the multi-information display.
The forward collision warning function oper-ates at the following vehicle speed:
z Against a vehicle: Approximately
15 km/h (9 mph) to 140 km/h (87 mph).
z Against a pedestrian: Approximately
7 km/h (5 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).
CAUT,ONz Under certain conditions, the audible alarm
may not work at all or may be scarcely audi- ble. Do not overly rely on the system; if your
vehicle is in danger of collision, take all nec- essary collision-evading actions, such as de-
pressing the brake pedal strongly regardless of whether the system is activated or not.FCM brake prefill function
If the system judges that there is a risk of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function prefills the
brake line with additional brake fluid to make
the brakes more responsive to your brake pedal operation.
The FCM brake prefill function operates at
the following vehicle speed:
z Against a vehicle: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).
z Against a pedestrian: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).
FCM brake assist function
If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front, this function deploys the brake assist sooner than the brake assist oper-ation.
The FCM brake assist function operates at
the following vehicle speed:
z Against a vehicle: Approximately
15 km/h (9 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).
z Against a pedestrian: Approximately
15 km/h (9 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).CAUT,ONz The brake assist function may not be trig-
gered when the brake pedal is operated in
certain ways.
Do not overly rely on the system; if your ve- hicle is in danger of collision, take all neces-
sary collision-evading actions, such as de-
pressing the brake pedal strongly regardless of whether the system is activated or not.FCM braking function
If the system judges that there is a high risk
of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian in front, the system applies the
brakes moderately to encourage you to apply the brakes.
If the system judges that a collision is un-
avoidable, it initiates emergency braking con- trol to mitigate collision-caused damages or,
if the situation permits, to avoid a collision. When the emergency braking control is trig- gered, you are warned of the hazard with vis- ual and audible alarms like with the forward
collision warning function.

Once the emergency braking has worked, youare alerted to this by a message on the infor-mation screen of the multi-information dis-
play.
The FCM braking function operates at the
following vehicle speed:
z Against a vehicle: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).
z Against a pedestrian: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).
CAUT,ONz Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.
z After your vehicle has stopped following the
activation of the FCM, automatic braking is released. As the vehicle will then start creep-
ing, be sure to depress the brake pedal to
hold the vehicle stationary.CAUT,ONz When applying the brake during the auto-
matic braking condition the pedal will feel firm.
This is not abnormal.
You can apply more pressure to the pedal to
assist in braking.
z In the following situations, the system pro-
vides neither control nor alarming.
