User manual MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER BROCHURE

[. . . ] From the front it is chunky and purposeful, clearly inspired by the 2002 Pajero Evolution concept car. From the side the combination of a rising waistline, downward sloping roof whose curves are echoed in the rear spoiler, and slash-back rear windows give an illusion of perpetual forward motion. From the rear its solid stance is softened by wrap-around lights and tailgate glass, a distinctive design unhampered by an external spare wheel. The Outlander has no need for window-dressing for it has nothing to prove ­ with seventy years expertise in manufacturing 4x4 vehicles Mitsubishi are simply doing what comes naturally. Driving performance SIGNATURE STYLE Dynamic and athletic the Outlander's bold, signature `Mount Fuji' grille is flanked by piercing headlamps ­ a clear visual link with Mitsubishi's stable of 4x4s, the Shogun and the L200 pick up. 67 AN ATHLETE ON ASPHALT The Independent newspaper really likes the Outlander: "agile, natural and car-like"; Auto Express magazine agrees: "a compact SUV that's not only good to drive, but should prove great to live with". [. . . ] A digital signal processor enables you to create the optimum acoustic characteristics to match your sound source and personal preference, choosing from four acoustic fields ­ normal, stage, live and hall ­ and five sound types ­ classic, jazz, pop, rock and hip-hop. A total of 9 speakers, including a 25cm dual voice coil subwoofer, are housed in seven locations, and the doors are specially stiffened to avoid vibration and packed with sound absorbing material to turn them into huge speaker boxes. The system is also speed-sensitive, compensating its volume automatically for road and wind noise. SATELLITE NAVIGATION AND MORE Elegance and Diamond models also feature a 30-gigabyte, hard disk drive satellite navigation system. Complete with colour, touch-screen display it is particularly quick and particularly intelligent, with ultra-fast search and route finding capabilities. Selecting reverse gear engages the Outlander's rear view camera, the image taking priority on the screen for greater safety and easier parking. The system's head unit also delivers the in-car entertainment, with an AM/FM receiver, MP3 compatibility and a DVD player which supports CD, CD-R, CD-RW and DVD-video (when stationary) formats. It also includes a CDDB (CD Database) which relays information about the CD being played to the screen and a hard disk-driven music catcher which can download and store up to 2000 music tracks. 16 17 THE CLEVER QUICK CHANGE ARTIST The Outlander is a real SUV so expect to enjoy a panoramic view, but not at the expense of easy access ­ the semi-bucket front seats are set at hip height to make sliding in and out a simple matter; the further back you sit the higher the squab cushions so that all passengers enjoy a real sense of space. First and second row seats are covered in a non-slip suede knit fabric with mesh fabric providing better air circulation on the side and thigh bolsters. Leather is available on the Warrior and standard on both the Elegance and Diamond. But one of the Outlander's most appealing aspects is its incredible versatility ­ providing up to seven seats for the school run on all but the base model. This third row features Mitsubishi's clever Fold 2 Hide system so they can be folded flat into the floor in seconds. But equally as clever are the second row seats, which can recline for comfort, slide backwards and forwards for practicality, split 60:40 and foldand-tumble forward in a one-step operation at the touch of a button. Even the front row can recline fully to make up a spacious and comfortable bed. In fact, cleverness is an Outlander hallmark: the windscreen is moisture sensitive* and automatically engages the wipers when needed, the wipers themselves automatically adjust for your speed, and the glove compartment uses air from the air conditioning to stay cool in the summer and warm ­ if you want ­ in the winter. Then, of course, there are numerous bottle holders, cup holders, trays and compartments so you've a place for everything no matter how unruly your tribe! Not Equippe. Finally, crumple zones separating the body from solid internal structures like the engine, together with bumpers made from a special energy-absorbing polyurethane foam help to protect pedestrians. Other passive safety measures include a cross frame under the front seat squabs to restrict forward movement, an energyabsorbing floor pad and footrest and seats designed to reduce whiplash in the event of a rear shunt. Of course, all seats, including the occasional third row ones, are fitted with 3-point seatbelts and front seatbelts are fitted with pretensioners. M-ASTC Mitsubishi's Active Stability and Traction Control operates in both twoand four-wheel drive and plays an active roll in the Outlander's safety by improving handling on slippery surfaces. Onboard sensors identify and correct oversteer and understeer to ensure improved stability and grip. AIRBAGS The Outlander Equippe is fitted with dual front SRS airbags whilst Warrior, Elegance and Diamond models provide maximum protection with the addition of side and curtain airbags. Of course, the Outlander's impact energy absorbing rib construction in the pillars and roof panel also helps to reduce head injuries. PROTECTIVE RIBS Regardless of the direction of impact a reinforced girdle of energy impactabsorbing `ribs' play a major part in the Outlander's outstanding passive safety measures. 22 23 PERSONAL EXCELLENCE Economical, versatile and a pleasure to drive, the Outlander is an exceptional everyday vehicle which is also more than capable of taking you on some off-road adventures. Specifications are high but there are always ways to personalise your vehicle ­ to make it fit your own particular needs more precisely. To that end there are more than 80 approved accessories available for the Outlander, all of which benefit from the same excellent warranty as the vehicle itself if fitted when new.
