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

Traction control function
On slippery surfaces, the traction control
function prevents the drive wheels from ex- cessive spinning, thus helping the vehicle to
start moving from a stopped condition. It also
provides sufficient driving force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while press-
ing the acceleration pedal.
CAUT,ONz When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy
road, be sure to install snow tyres and drive
the vehicle at moderate speeds.Stability control function
The stability control function is designed to
help the driver maintain control of the vehicle
on slippery roads or during rapid steering ma-
noeuvres. It works by controlling the Plugin
Hybrid EV System output and the brake on
each wheel.
NOTEz The stability control function operates at
speeds of about 15 km/h (9 mph) or higher.ASC OFF switch
The ASC is automatically activated when the
operation mode is put in ON. You can deacti-
vate the system by pressing down the ASC OFF switch for 3 seconds or longer.
When the ASC is deactivated, the
display/
indicator will turn on. To reactivate the ASC, momentarily press the ASC OFF switch; the
indicator is turned off.
CAUT,ONz For safety reasons, the ASC OFF switch
should be operated when your vehicle is stopped.
z Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in
normal circumstances.
z In case you turn off the ASC to move out
from mud or sand etc., press the ASC OFF
switch to activate the ASC quickly after moving out, and do not turn off the ASC un-less it is necessary.CAUT,ONz If you continue to race the tyre by depress-
ing the accelerator pedal too much while
ASC is turned off, parts such as the transaxle may be damaged and this could lead to an accident.NOTEz When moving out of mud, sand or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not
allow the Plug-in Hybrid EV System output to increase. In such situations, switching to
“LOCK” with the Drive mode switch and temporarily turning off the Active Stability
Control (ASC) with the ASC OFF switch
will make it easier to move out your vehicle.
Refer to “Operation under adverse driving
conditions: If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow” on page 9-20.
z By pressing the “ASC OFF” switch, both the
stability control function and the traction
control function are turned OFF.
z If you continue to press the ASC OFF switch
after the ASC is turned off, the “mistaken
operation protection function” will activate and the ASC will turn back on.ASC operation indicator or

-ASC OFF indicator
This indicator will turn on
when the ASC is turned off with the ASC OFF switch.CAUT,ONz When indicator blinks, ASC is operating,
which means that the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels are beginning to slip.If this happens, drive slower with less accel- erator input.
z If the temperature in the braking system con-
tinues to increase due to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the
in-
dicator will blink. To prevent the brake sys- tem from overheating, the brake control of the traction control function will be tempora-
rily suspended.
The Plug-in Hybrid EV System control of the traction control function and normal
brake operation will not be affected. Park your vehicle in a safe place. When the tem-
perature in the braking system has come
down, the
indicator will be turned off and
the traction control function will start operat-
ing again.
NOTEz The indicator may turn on when you start
the Plug-in Hybrid EV System. This means that the battery voltage momentarily drop- ped when the Plug-in Hybrid EV System
was started. It does not indicate a malfunc- tion, provided that the indicator goes out im-
mediately.ASC warning lamp/display
If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys-
tem, the following warning lamp/warning
display will turn on.
Warning lamp-ASC operation indicator-ASC OFF indicatorWarning displayCAUT,ONz The system may be malfunctioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
Restart the Plug-in Hybrid EV System and check whether the display/indicator goes out. If they go out, there is no abnormal con-
dition. If they do not go out or appear fre-
quently, it is not necessary to stop the vehi- cle immediately, but we recommend you to
have your vehicle inspected.Cruise control*
Cruise control is an automatic speed control
system that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or
more.
CAUT,ONz When you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
z Do not use cruise control when driving con-
ditions will not allow you to stay at the same speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roadsthat are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet,
slippery, on a steep downhill slope.
Cruise control*
7-442**(20(1Starting and driving7

NOTEzCruise control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.
z Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.
z Your speed may increase to more than the
set speed on a steep downhill. You must use the brake to control your speed. As a result,
the set speed driving is deactivated.
z The regenerative level B0 or B1 cannot be
selected under the cruise control. The buzzer sounds if you try to select these levels.

malfunction.
Press the CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF switch to turn off the cruise control and have your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.NOTEz You cannot operate the regenerative brake
while the adaptive cruise control system
(ACC) is operating.
z If you perform the following operation, the
buzzer may sound and the select positionmay automatically shift to “N” position.

zThe operation mode is put in OFF.
z The indicator display goes off.Speed Limiter*
The Speed Limiter is a driver assist function
to prevent from exceeding the speed set by
driver while Plug-in Hybrid EV System pow- er control.
CAUT,ONz Because the system does not use service
brake (hydraulic brake), the vehicle speed
may exceed the set speed on the downhill.
If a driver wants to keep the vehicle speed in such a situation, he/she must put on a servicebrake.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed
(about 3 km/h (2 mph)), the indicator will
brink in the combination meter.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed about +3 km/h (2 mph) more than about 5
seconds after indicated alert message, beep
alert is sounded for about 10 seconds at the most.
While running without alert message, if you
decrease the set speed and vehicle speed is more than set speed about +3 km/h (2 mph) ,
alert message is displayed but beep alert is delayed.
In this case, when vehicle speed keeps ex-
ceeding set speed about +3 km/h (2 mph) for
about 30 seconds after the alert message is appeared, beep alert is sounded for about 10
seconds at the most.
If the vehicle speeds decreases less than set
speeds after the alert message is appeared, the message is disappeared. When beep alert is sounding, the beep alert also goes off.NOTEz However, this gives priority to audio and
visual signal of safety reasons or driver’s de-mand.Speed Limiter control switches
