Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (2019 year). Instruction - part 19

The FCM brake assist function operates at
the following vehicle speed:

Against a vehicle: Approximately
15 km/h (9 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).

Against a pedestrian: Approximately
15 km/h (9 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).

CAUTION

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

E00635501380

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, you
are 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:

Against a vehicle: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).

Against a pedestrian: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).

CAUTION

Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.

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.

CAUTION

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.

In the following situations, the system pro-
vides neither control nor alarming.

•

When a vehicle or a pedestrian suddenly
cuts in front of your vehicle.

•

When the distance from a vehicle or a pe-
destrian in front is extremely short.

•

To an oncoming vehicle.

•

When the select position is in the “P”
(PARK) or the “R” (REVERSE) position.

•

When the FCM has detected a problem in
the system.

If the ASC is deactivated, the FCM braking
function will not operate. Refer to “Active
Stability Control (ASC)” on page 7-43.

The FCM may or may not detect a motorcy-
cle, bicycle or wall depending on the situa-
tion. The FCM is not designed to detect
these objects.

The forward collision warning function
and/or the FCM braking function may not
activate in the following situations.

•

When a vehicle suddenly appear just in
front of your vehicle.

•

When a vehicle cuts in front of your vehi-
cle very closely.

•

When the vehicle in front is offset to the
left or right.

of automatic braking, this is a function of the
brake control and is not abnormal.

FCM and UMS ON/OFF

switch

E00635601323

This  switch  is  used  to  turn  on  and  off  the
FCM  and  UMS  and  also  to  select  your  de-
sired collision alarm timing.
When  the  switch  is  held  pressed,  the
ON/OFF state of the FCM and UMS changes
from ON to OFF and vice versa. If you give
the switch a short press with the FCM in the
ON state, you can change the collision alarm
timing.

NOTE

When the FCM and UMS ON/OFF switch is
held pressed to change the ON/OFF state of
the FCM, the ON/OFF state of the UMS is
also changed at the same time.

To turn on/off the system

You can switch the system from OFF to ON
or ON to OFF if you hold the FCM and UMS
ON/OFF  switch  pressed  when  the  operation
mode is set to “ON”.
Once the system is turned on, the information
screen  of  the  multi-information  display
shows the collision alarm timing currently se-
lected,  and  the

indicator on the screen

goes out.

When you turn off the system, the following
message appears on the screen and the

in-

dicator comes on.

Cycling the operation mode to ON will set
the FCM back ON.

NOTE

“UMS OFF” indicator.

To change alarm timing

Give  a  short  press  to  the  FCM  and  UMS
ON/OFF  switch  to  change  the  timing  at
which the frontal collision alarm is triggered.
Every  time  you  press  the  switch,  the  alarm
timing  changes  between  three  levels:  “FAR”
(earlier  alarming),  “MIDDLE”  (normally
alarming) or “NEAR” (later alarming).
As  you  make  selection,  the  selected  alarm
timing is displayed on the information screen
of  the  multi-information  display.  Even  after
turning off the FCM or setting the operation
mode to “OFF”, the system retains your last
selected alarm timing in memory.

Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS)*

E00643400280

The Ultrasonic misacceleration Mitigation System (UMS) operates to prevent sudden starts and mitigate collision-caused damages by suppress-
ing the motor output for up to approximately 5 seconds when the system judges that the system is detected the vehicle or obstacles within ap-
proximately 4 m in front and behind your vehicle and judges that accelerator pedal was depressed promptly and too strongly such as misopera-
tion of it. This system operates when the vehicle is at stop or is moving forward or backward at less than approximately 10 km/h.
When the UMS operates, the warning display appears on the information screen of the multi information display, and the buzzer sounds intermit-
tently.
The UMS ON/OFF is switched in conjunction with the ON/OFF state of the Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM). (Vehicles equipped with
FCM)

WARNING

Do not overly rely on the UMS. It is never a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always be careful to operate the accelerator pedal perceiv-
ing the environmental conditions. Misoperation can lead to a serious accident.

As the UMS is not a function to keep the stop condition of the vehicle, depress the brake pedal according to the environmental condition.

Depending on the situation, the system does not operate even if the vehicle or the obstacle in front and behind your vehicle and this may cause the
vehicle to start suddenly and lead to a serious accident.

If the vehicle is trapped in the railway crossing because the system is activated as the crossing barrier is misrecognised as an obstacle, escape from
the railway crossing without any panic by one of the following methods.

•

Release the foot from the accelerator pedal and lightly depress the pedal again.

•

Turn the system OFF. (Continuously press the FCM and UMS ON/OFF switch for more than 3 seconds.)

•

Continuously depress the accelerator pedal for more than 5 seconds.

•

Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
(with Lane Change Assist)*

E00644300156

The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving
aid system that alerts the driver when another
vehicle, which may not be visible through the
outside  rear-view  mirror,  is  travelling  in  the
next lane behind your vehicle.
When a vehicle in the next lane is travelling
at  the  same  speed  or  faster  in  the  detection
areas,  the  Blind  Spot  Warning  lamp  in  the
corresponding  outside  rear-view  mirror  will
illuminate. If the turn-signal lever is operated
to  the  side  where  the  Blind  Spot  Warning
lamp  is  illuminated,  the  Blind  Spot  Warning
lamp  will  blink  and  the  system  will  beep
three times to alert the driver.

WARNING

Before using the BSW, read this entire
section to fully understand the limitations
of this system. Failure to follow instruc-
tions could result in an accident.

Never  rely  solely  on  the  BSW  system
when  changing  lanes.  The  BSW  is  an  aid
only.  It  is  not  a  substitute  for  your  safe
and careful driving. Always check visually
behind  and  all  around  your  vehicle  for
other  vehicles.  The  performance  of  the
BSW  may  vary  depending  on  driving,
traffic and/or road conditions.

Detection areas
