Starting and driving -> Cargo loads for Your Mitsubishi Outlander SUV 2020

Cargo loads  
CAUTION  
NOTE  
Cargo loads  
The bird’s eye-view is an simulated view  
processed by combining view captured by  
“Front-view camera”, “Side-view cameras  
(right and left)” and “Rear-view camera”.  
Because of this, in the Bird’s eye-view  
mode, objects will appear to be farther away  
than they actually are. In addition, there are  
blind spots in the vicinity of the actual vehi-  
cle which are not displayed on the screen.  
You may crash your vehicle even if there  
seems to be a little distance between your  
vehicle and an object, and there may be an  
object in the area where there seems to be  
nothing. Be sure to check the safety around  
the vehicle with your own eyes.  
The vehicle icon displayed in the Bird’s eye-  
view mode differs from the actual vehicle in  
colour and size. Because of this, an object  
near the vehicle may appear to be in contact  
with the vehicle, and the positional relation-  
ship between the vehicle and the object may  
differ from the actual one.  
In the Bird’s eye-view mode, since the views  
captured by the four cameras, “Front-view  
camera”, “Side-view cameras (right and  
left)” and “Rear-view camera” are processed  
based on a level flat road surface, an image  
may be displayed as follows:

top of the seatback. Be sure that your cargo  
or luggage cannot move once your vehicle is  
moving. Having the driver’s vision blocked,  
and your cargo being thrown inside the cabin  
if you suddenly have to brake can cause a  
serious accident or injury.  
An object having a height from the road  
surface may seem to appear from the joint  
of the view composition processing re-  
gions.

The brightness of the views from each cam-  
era may vary depending on the illuminance  
conditions.  
l
Load heavy cargo or luggage in the front of  
l
the vehicle. If the load in the back of the ve-  
hicle is too heavy, steering may become un-  
stable.  
An object above the camera is not displayed.

The object displayed in the Front-view mode  
or the Rear-view mode may not be displayed  
in the Bird’s eye-view mode.  
The view in the Bird’s eye-view mode may  
be displaced from its true position when the  
mounting location and angle of each camera  
are changed.  
Loading a roof carrier

CAUTION  
The view composition processing regions  
are present in the four corners of the Bird’s  
eye-view display, mainly at the boundary  
sections of views from each camera. Be-  
cause of this, in the vicinity of the boundary  
sections, the sharpness of the views may de-  
crease and an object may disappear and re-  
appear on the screen.  
Use a roof carrier that properly fits your ve-  
hicle. Do not load luggage directly onto the  
roof.  
l
The lines on the road may appear to be dis-  
placed or bent at the joint of the views.  
For installation, refer to the instruction man-  
ual accompanying the roof carrier.

Trailer towing  
NOTE  
CAUTION  
NOTE  
We recommend you to use a MITSUBISHI  
When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,  
please make sure to drive slowly and avoid  
excessive manoeuvres such as sudden brak-  
ing or quick turning.  
In addition, place the luggage on the carrier  
so that its weight is distributed evenly with  
the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not  
load items that are wider than the roof carri-  
er.  
The additional weight on the roof could raise  
the vehicle’s centre of gravity and affect ve-  
hicle handling characteristics.  
As a result, driving errors or emergency ma-  
noeuvres could lead to a loss of control and  
result in an accident.  
Be sure that adequate clearance is main-  
tained for raising the tailgate while loading  
luggage on the roof carrier.

MOTORS GENUINE roof carrier, since the  
brackets to be used have a special shape. For  
details, we recommend you to consult a  
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-  
ice Point.  
Trailer towing  
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,  
have a trailer towing device mounted that  
meets all relevant regulations in your area,  
consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-  
ized Service Point.  
The regulations concerning the towing of a  
trailer may differ from country to country.  
You are advised to obey the regulations in  
each area.  
Roof carrier precaution  
CAUTION  
Make sure that the weight of the luggage  
7
l
does not exceed the allowable roof load.  
If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this  
may cause damage to the vehicle.  
The roof load is the total allowable load on  
the roof (the weight of the roof carrier plus  
the weight of luggage placed on the roof car-  
rier).  
Before driving and after travelling a short  
distance, always check the load to make sure  
it is securely fastened to the roof carrier.  
Check periodically during your travel that  
the load remains secure.

CAUTION  
Danger of Accident!  
A towing bar should be fitted according to  
MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.  
For the specific value, refer to “Maximum  
roof load” on page 12-05.

NOTE  
To prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel  
economy, remove the roof carrier when not  
in use.  
Remove the roof carrier before using an au-  
tomatic car wash.  
Be sure that adequate clearance is main-  
tained for raising the sunroof (if so equip-  
ped) when installing a roof carrier.  
Maximum towable weight with  
brake and maximum trailer-  
nose weight

Never exceed the maximum towable weight  
with brake and the maximum trailer-nose
