Sport Mode Switch - Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV 2019 Manual

NOTE
l When the engine is started while parking,
there is a risk of receiving a penalty due to
idling stop ordinances.
You should use the battery charge mode that
conforms to the relevant municipality.
Also, if the engine is started, ensure there is
sufficient fuel in the fuel tank so that the en-
gine does not run out of fuel.
l When the EV switch or the SPORT mode
switch is pressed while driving in the battery
charge mode, the mode changes to the selec-
ted mode.
Refer to "EV switch" on page 7-25 or
"SPORT mode switch" on page 7-31.
If the SAVE/CHARGE mode switch is
pressed twice, the mode is returned to the
battery charge mode.

SPORT mode switch

The SPORT mode switch is used when doing
powerful sporty driving on mountain roads
and uphill slopes.
Quick acceleration in response to the opera-
tion of the accelerator pedal and quick decel-
eration by strong regenerative braking force
are possible.
The SPORT mode can be used when the
SPORT mode switch is pressed while the
READY indicator light is on.
To cancel, press the switch again or turn off
the power mode.
If the SPORT mode is activated, the follow-
ing display appears on the information screen
in the multi-information display.
WARNING
l If a large regenerative braking force is ap-
plied, the stop lamps will be automatically
illuminated.

NOTE
l Selecting the SPORT mode makes the en-
gine easier to start. Also, since the response
to the operation of the accelerator pedal be-
comes better, there may be a shock when
stepping on the accelerator pedal.
l When SPORT mode is selected, the regener-
ative braking force automatically switches to
B5. After switching, you can change to your
favorite regenerative braking force with the
Regenerative braking level selector. Regen-

l
When you select the SPORT mode in situa-
tions such as the following, a large regenera-
tive braking force may not work.
• When the driving battery temperature is
high or low.
When the driving battery is close to fully
•
charged, or when it is fully charged.
l If you select the cruise control or the Adap-
tive Cruise Control System (ACC), the re-
generative braking level will be D while
driving in the SPORT mode.
The regenerative brake force becomes B5
when the SPORT mode is returned by can-
celling the cruise control or the Adaptive
Cruise Control System (ACC).
