Brake Assist System - Mitsubishi 2016 Outlander Manual

Brake assist system

CAUTION
 Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to
prevent backwards movement of the vehicle.
Under certain circumstances, even when hill
start assist is activated, the vehicle may
move backwards if the brake pedal is not suf-
ficiently depressed, if the vehicle is heavily
5
loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip-
pery.
 The hill start assist is not designed to keep
the vehicle stopped in place on uphill slopes
for more than 2 seconds.
 When facing uphill, do not rely on using the
hill start assist to maintain a stopped position
as an alternative to depressing the brake
pedal.
Doing so could cause an accident.
 Do not turn the ignition switch to the "OFF",
"LOCK" or "ACC" position while the hill
start assist is operating. The hill start assist
could stop operating, which could result in
an accident.
To operate
1. Stop the vehicle completely using the
brake pedal.
2. Release the brake pedal and the hill start
assist will maintain the braking force
applied while stopping for approximately
2 seconds.
