2023 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL Black Edition, FWDFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

System Description

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION 

  • The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is designed to maintain a selected distance from the vehicle in front of own vehicle and can reduce the speed to match a slower vehicle ahead.
  • The driver can select the distance from the vehicle ahead (Long/Middle/Short).
  • If the status is the set wait condition and the vehicle speed is between approximately 30 and 144 km/h (20 and 90 MPH), when the SET- switch is pressed, the system records the vehicle speed and starts the control. If the vehicle speed is approximately 30 km/h (20 MPH) or less and a vehicle ahead is detected when the SET switch is pressed, a vehicle speed of 30 km/h (20 MPH) is set.
  • The system decelerates the vehicle as necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill. However, the system can only apply up to 40% of the vehicle's total braking power.
  • The system cancels and a warning chime sounds if the speed is below approximately 25 km/h (15 MPH) and a vehicle is not detected ahead. For MI-PILOT Assist with Navi-link equipped vehicles on a limited access freeway as identified in the navigation map data, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode cancels and a warning chime sounds if your vehicle is at a standstill for more than approximately 3 seconds and a vehicle is not detected ahead.
  • The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode operates as follows:
    • When there are no vehicles traveling ahead, the system maintains the speed set by the driver. The set vehicle speed range is between approximately 30 and 144 km/h (20 and 90 MPH).
    • When there is a vehicle traveling ahead, the system adjusts the speed to maintain the distance, selected by the driver, from the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead comes to a stop, the vehicle decelerates to a standstill. Once own vehicle stops, the system keeps the vehicle stopped.
    • When own vehicle is stopped for less than 3 seconds (30 seconds for vehicles equipped with MI-PILOT Assist with Navi-link on a limited access roadway) and the vehicle ahead begins to move, owner vehicle starts moving again automatically.
    • When own vehicle is at a standstill for more than 3 seconds (30 seconds for vehicles equipped with MI-PILOT Assist with Navi-link on a limited access roadway) and the vehicle ahead begins to accelerate, push up the RES+ switch or lightly depress the accelerator pedal. The system starts to follow the vehicle ahead.
    • When the vehicle traveling ahead moves to a different traveling lane, the system accelerates and maintains vehicle speed up to the set speed.

CAUTION:
  • This system should only be used when traffic conditions allow vehicle speeds to remain fairly constant or when vehicle speeds change gradually.
  • If a vehicle moves into the traveling lane ahead or if a vehicle traveling ahead rapidly decelerates, the distance between vehicles may become closer because the system cannot decelerate the vehicle quickly enough. If this occurs, the system sounds a warning chime and blinks the system display to notify the driver to take necessary action.
  • The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode does not control vehicle speed or warn the driver when the driver approaches stationary and slow moving vehicles. The driver must pay attention to vehicle operation to maintain proper distance from vehicles ahead when approaching toll gates or traffic congestion.
  • The vehicle may not maintain the set speed on winding or hilly roads.
  • To prevent the vehicle from moving, the driver must depress the brake pedal.
