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

CAUT,ONzIf the tyre pressure is lower than the mini-
mum permitted pressure (1.3 bar {130 kPa`), the tyre cannot successfully be re-
paired with the tyre sealant. Do not drive the vehicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist.
20. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km ,
check the tyre pressure using the air
pressure gauge on the compressor. If the tyre pressure has apparently not drop-ped, the emergency repair procedure is complete. You must still not exceed a
speed of 80 km/h. Observe local speed limits.
NOTEz If the tyre pressure has dropped below the
specified level when you check it at the end
of the repair procedure, do not drive the ve- hicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist.NOTEz In cold conditions (when the ambient tem-
perature is 0

3.Put the select position in “P” (PARK)
position and stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV
system.
4. Have all your passengers get out of the
vehicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when
jacking up the vehicle, place chocks or blocks (A) at the tyre that is diagonallyopposite from the tyre (B) you are changing.:ARN,NGz Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.NOTEz The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if needed.
z If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in position.
6. Get the jack, jack bar and wheel nut
wrench ready.
Refer to “Tools and jack” on page 9-06.
To change a tyre
1. Loosen the wheel nuts a quarter turn
with the wheel nut wrench. Do not re-move the wheel nuts yet.
2. Place the jack under one of the jacking
points (A) shown in the illustration. Use
the jacking point closest to the tyre you
wish to change.:ARN,NGz Set the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position, it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.
z Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face.
Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause
personal injury. Always use the jack on a flat, hard surface. Before setting the jack,
make sure there are no sand or pebbles under the jack base.

3.Rotate the jack by hand until the flange
portion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the
top of the jack.
4. Check that the flange portion at the jack-
ing point fits in the groove at the top of the jack.
Insert the jack bar (D) into the wheel nut
wrench (E). Then put the end of the jack
bar into the shaft’s jack end, as shown in
the illustration.
Slowly rotate the wheel nut wrench until
the tyre is raised slightly off the ground surface.:ARN,NGz Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
z Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
z Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both are very dangerous.
z Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
z The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
z No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
z Do not start the Plug-in Hybrid EV sys-
tem while your vehicle is on the jack.:ARN,NGz Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the jack.
5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel
nut wrench, then take the wheel off.
CAUT,ONz Handle the wheel carefully when changing
the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel sur- face.
6. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur-
face (F), hub bolts (G) or in the installa- tion holes (H) in the wheel, and then
mount the tyre.

:ARN,NGzMount the wheel with the valve stem (I)
facing outboard. If you cannot see the
valve stem (I), you have installed the wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the wheel in-
stalled backwards can cause vehicle dam- age and result in an accident.
7. Turn the wheel nuts clockwise by hand
to initially tighten them.
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by hand until the flange parts of the wheel
nuts make light contact with the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.CAUT,ONz Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts, or they will tighten too much.
8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the
wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground.
9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in
the illustration until each nut has been tightened to the torque listed here.

Tightening torque: 88 to 108 N

sures are shown on the driver’s door la-
bel. See the illustration.
12. After filling your tyres to the correct
pressure, reset the tyre pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS).
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem (TPMS): Reset of low tyre pressure warning threshold” on page 7-95.
CAUT,ONz After changing the tyre and driving the vehi-
cle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not come loose.
z If the steering wheel vibrates when driving
after changing the tyre, we recommend you
to have the tyres checked for balance.
z Do not mix one type of tyre with another or
use a different size from the one listed. This
would cause early wear and poor handling.To store the tools and jack

If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicle:ARN,NGz Never tow your vehicle in this method ex-
cept in emergency situations such as run-
ning out of fuel. If the vehicle is towed in this method, a problem can occur in the vehicle damaging the motor, transaxle,
etc. indicated by illuminating warning lamps.
1. The front towing hooks are located as
shown in illustration. Secure the tow rope to the front towing hook.
NOTEz Using any part other than the designated
towing hook could result in damage to vehi-cle body.NOTEz Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
z Take care that the tow rope is kept as hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can
damage the vehicle body.
z Secure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
2. Start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system.
If the Plug-in Hybrid EV System cannotbe started, put the operation mode of the
power switch in “ON”.
:ARN,NGz If the vehicle is towed with the operation
mode in “ON” without starting the Plugin
Hybrid EV System, the auxiliary battery may be fully discharged during towing. In
this case, the brake performance becomes very poor and the steering wheel becomes
very heavy.CAUT,ONz For vehicle equipped with the Adaptive
Cruise Control system (ACC) and Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM), stopthese systems to prevent an unexpected acci-
dent or unexpected operation during towing. Refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control system
(ACC)” on page 7-54 and “Forward Colli-
sion Mitigation system (FCM)” on page 7-66.

TRAL) position.
4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-
quired by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations.)
5. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav-
el at low speed.
:ARN,NGz Avoid sudden braking, acceleration and
steering wheel movements; such driving
operation could cause damage to the tow-
ing hook or tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.
z When going down a long slope, the brakes
may overheat, reducing effectiveness.
Have your vehicle transported by a tow truck.
