Mitsubishi MOTORS Outlander PHEV 2016, Owner'S Manual, Page: 282 / 490

Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately
60 cm (A) from the front and corner sensors
and 150 cm (B) from the back sensors. The
non-detection areas (C) are within approxi-
mately 20 cm (D) from the bumper.
NOTE
l The sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper.
If the height of an object is lower than the
mounted position of the sensors, the sensors
may not continue detecting it even if they
detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detec-
tion areas, please refer to “Changing the de-
tection areas” on page 7-80.
CAUTION
l The sensor system may not operate properly
under the following conditions:
• The sensors or surroundings are covered
with ice, snow, or mud.
• When the temperature difference is too
large.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from
other sources (the horns of other vehicles,
motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pour-
ing rain, splashing water, snow traction
device (tyre chains), etc.).
• The sensors are extremely hot or cold
(while the vehicle is parked for a long pe-
riod of time under a blazing sun or in cold
weather).
• The vehicle tilts significantly.
• The vehicle is driven on a rough road
(with a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy
surface).
• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.
• The sensors or surroundings have been
wiped by hand, or stickers or accessories
have been attached.
•
Immediately after Plug-in Hybrid EV
System starting.
l The sensor system may not properly detect
the followings:
•
Objects that are thin, such as wire nets or
ropes.
• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as
snow.
•
Objects that are shaped with a sharp an-
gle.
CAUTION
• Objects with a smooth surface, such as
glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerbstones.
l If the bumper has been exposed to an im-
pact, the sensors may fail and prevent the
system from functioning properly. Have the
vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
NOTE
l When the sensor is received ultrasonic noise
from outside, the sensor of the correspond-
ing portion will blink at a constant frequen-
cy. When they are not received the noise and
return to normal operation.
