Braking; Brake System - Mitsubishi Outlander 2015 Owner's Manual

Braking

CAUTION
l Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences. Using tyres of different
size, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-
crease the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driving sys-
tem. Further, the drive train will be subjec-
ted to excessive loading possibly leading to
6 oil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.
Towing
6-60 Starting and driving
CAUTION
l Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type A
or Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.
If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type
C or Type D equipment.
l Even in "4WD ECO" (Electronically con-
trolled 4WD) or "AWC ECO" (S-AWC)
drive mode, the vehicle cannot be towed
with the front or the rear wheels on the
ground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive ve-
hicle
WARNING
l Do not crank the engine while jacking up
the vehicle.
The tyre on the ground may turn and the
vehicle may roll off the jack.
Clutch operation
Quick or slight clutch engagement made
while the engine is running at high speed will
cause damage to the clutch and transmission
because the tractive force is very great.
Operate the pedal slowly and positively.

Braking
All the parts of the brake system are critical
to safety. We recommend you to have the ve-
hicle checked at regular intervals according
to the service booklet.
CAUTION
l Avoid driving habits that cause heavy brak-
ing and never "ride" the brakes by resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.

Brake system

The service brake is divided into two brake
circuits. And your vehicle is equipped with
power brakes. If one brake circuit fails, the
other is available to stop the vehicle. If you
should lose the power assist for some reason,
the brakes will still work. In these situations,
even if the brake pedal moves down to the
very end of its possible stroke or resists being
depressed, keep depressing the brake pedal
down harder and further than usual; stop
driving as soon as possible and have the
brake system repaired.
