BLIND SPOT WARNING WITH LANE CHANGE ASSIST (BSW) (IF EQUIPPED)
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
rearview mirror is traveling in the next lane behind your vehicle. When
a vehicle in the next lane is traveling at same speed or faster in the
detection areas, the Blind Spot Warning light in the corresponding outside
rearview mirror will illuminate. If the turn signal lever is operated to the
side where the Blind Spot Warning light is illuminated, the Blind Spot
Warning light will blink and a buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
Depending on the speed of your vehicle, the Blind Spot Warning will detect
up to approximately 230 feet from your vehicle.
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA) (IF EQUIPPED)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) is an aid system for backing up. When
the RCTA detects vehicles approaching from sides while your vehicle is
reversing, the Blind Spot Warning lights in the outside rearview mirrors on
both sides will blink and a buzzer will sound to alert the driver. A warning
message will also appear on the information screen of the
Multi-information Display.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert will be activated from 0 MPH when the vehicle is
shifted into Reverse and will detect on-coming vehicles that are passing
behind you. (Note: Minimum speed required for passing vehicles. See
Owner’s Manual for details). Rear radar transceivers will detect on-coming
rear traffic and will light up in the mirror and in the Multi-information
Display as well as sound a warning alert.
The Blind Spot Warning, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert systems are driver aids only
and are not substitutes for safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, these systems may
not detect other vehicles correctly.

be secured when it returns to the original position.
UNFOLDING THE SECOND ROW SEATS
1. Raise the seatback until it locks securely into place.
2. While lifting the seat belt buckle (A), gently lower the seat
cushion. Make sure that there is a hook (B) at the position
shown in the illustration.
3. Push down the seat cushion until it locks securely
into place.
4. Make sure that all seat belt buckles are properly
positioned on the seat cushion.
5. If the center seat belt is stored:

FAQ’S
Q: Is my phone compatible with the factory Mitsubishi Bluetooth® System?
®
A: Check the list of compatible phones, www.mitsubishicars.com/owners to see if the phone is Bluetooth
Q: How do I use Bluetooth
®
Audio?
supported.
A: Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for instructions.
Q: My Outlander has three 12V accessory outlets. What devices can be plugged into these outlets?
A: These outlets are protected with 15 amp fuses. Always check the current draw rating of any device prior to use in the vehicle. If the device is rated
above 12 amps, this could lead to circuit overload and the electrical fuse opening (no current flow).
Q: Why does the Audio System take so long to upload my music from my audio music device?
A: The Mitsubishi system can read multiple device structures in order to catalog the music files for easy playing and listening. Depending on the amount
of music you have on your device, this may take a few minutes.
Q: What are the different ways of playing music from my portable music player through the stereo system in my vehicle, when equipped with the
Bluetooth wireless technology?
A: There are two ways of playing music through your vehicle’s sound system.
• USB port - The system will find the songs in your device and categorize them according to Artist, Album, and Genre. Then you can have the audio
system find and play the song in your device that you prefer without physically searching your device. This is done via voice commands.
®
• Bluetooth
Streaming - Once your device is paired to the system, you can stream music from your device through the audio system to your vehicles
sound system. No wires or cords. Your music stops and restarts at the same song when you exit and when you re-enter the vehicle. Voice commands
are not available.
Q: Why can’t I control the music track selection via voice commands while Bluetooth® streaming?
A: The Mitsubishi system uses AVRCP 1.3 (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) which does support song information (title, artist, track, etc.). However,
you must have a device that also supports AVRCP 1.3 to supply that information to the Mitsubishi system.
Q: My Outlander is equipped with “Micron Air Filtration.” Where is the filter located and does it need servicing?
A: The micron air filter is a small filter element which is located in the HVAC box just behind the lower glove box. The filter should be inspected frequently for
debris. The filter works well at filtering incoming air however the filter will clog and lead to reduced outlet air volume if not serviced on a regular basis.

FAQ'S
Q: I am having trouble with my Power Liftgate working properly. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Am I doing something wrong?
A: First check the ACTIVE/OFF button located below the climate control unit and check to see that this button is set to ACTIVE. If so, then you will find that
the system needs to have ALL the doors unlocked for the unit to work properly. If only the driver’s door is unlocked, the power liftgate button will not work.
Q: Why does my Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) make a noise?
A: Each time your vehicle is started and driven a short distance, you will hear the sound of the ABS motor operating from the right front engine
compartment. This is the normal sound the Anti-Lock Braking System makes when performing a self check.
Q: How can I get the MPG stated on the window sticker?
A: Vehicle driving styles will greatly affect MPG.
• Avoid sudden starts from a stop and let the vehicle coast to a traffic light. Both of these styles will increase mileage and reduce brake lining wear.
• Vehicles are designed to achieve the best fuel mileage when they are driven at the speed limits on the freeway. Avoid driving over 65 mph.
• Under inflated tires will increase rolling resistance and will reduce fuel mileage. Check tire pressure frequently to increase miles per gallon. Proper
tire pressure also ensures optimum tire performance (including tire wear.)
Q: Why do my Rain Sensing Windshield Wipers operate on their own when it’s not raining?
A: • When the lever is in the AUTO position, the rain sensor detects rain or snow and automatically turns on the wipers.
• The wipers may automatically operate when things such as insects or foreign objects are affixed to the windshield on top of the rain sensor or when
the windshield is frosted over.
• To stop the wipers, place the lever in the OFF position.
Q: Why does my check engine light come on after I put gas in my car?
A: There are many reasons why your check engine light may illuminate. Before calling your dealership, make sure the fuel cap is fully engaged and you
have heard three clicks when tightening it. After checking and hearing three clicks and the light is still on, contact your dealership.

Q: How do I use the emergency key when the FAST-key battery or vehicle battery is run down?
A: If your Outlander is equipped with a Start/Stop Engine Switch and the door does not unlock, take the key out from the fob and unlock the door
manually. Put the key back into the fob and insert it into the slot provided below the Climate Control Switches. Starting the engine and changing the
operation mode should now be possible. Remove the FAST-key from the key slot after starting the engine or changing the operation mode.
