Mitsubishi Outlander: To operate

To operate the system, move the gearshift lever or selector lever to the “R” position while the ignition switch or the operation mode is in ON. To stop the operation, push the “SONAR” switch.

NOTE

• Only when the gearshift lever or selector lever is in the “R” position, the reversing sensor system can be operated or be stopped by using the “SONAR” switch.

The reversing sensor system operation indication lamp (A) will turn off when the system has stopped operating.

It will flash in case there is a malfunction in the system.

For details, refer to “Reversing sensor system operation indication lamp”.

To return the system to the operating state, push the “SONAR” switch again. When the system returns to the operating state, the buzzer sounds once and the indication lamp illuminates.

NOTE

• The reversing sensor system operation indication lamp blinks once when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON.

The warning buzzer sounds when the system detects an obstacle during operation.

NOTE

• After pushing the “SONAR” switch, reversing sensor system operation differs according to the detection area setting.

• Setting when towing bar is not equipped When the gearshift lever or selector lever is moved to the “R” position, the reversing sensor system will operate even if corner sensor operation was stopped by pushing the “SONAR” switch.

• Setting when towing bar is equipped When reversing sensor system operation was stopped by pushing the “SONAR” switch, the reversing sensor system will not operate until the engine has been stopped even if the gearshift lever or selector lever is moved to the “R” position.

To resume reversing sensor system operation, push the “SONAR” switch or stop and restart the engine, and then move the gearshift lever or selector lever to the “R” position.
