The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SE Touring is equipped with a robust suite of safety and security features designed to protect passengers and enhance driver confidence. Here’s a breakdown of the key safety and security features in this plug-in hybrid SUV:

Key Safety Features:

1. Advanced Airbag System:

   • The Outlander PHEV comes with a comprehensive airbag system that includes front airbags, side-impact airbags, curtain-side airbags, and a driver's knee airbag, offering multi-layered protection for all occupants in the event of a collision.

2. Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM):

   • Forward Collision Mitigation uses a radar sensor and camera to detect potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians ahead. If a collision is imminent and the driver does not take action, the system will automatically apply the brakes to reduce impact or prevent a crash.

3. Lane Departure Warning (LDW):

   • The Lane Departure Warning system alerts the driver if the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. This is especially helpful for highway driving, where lane changes can be subtle and go unnoticed.

4. Lane Change Assist (LCA):

   • The Lane Change Assist feature monitors the vehicle’s blind spots when changing lanes and alerts the driver if there’s a vehicle in the way, improving the safety of lane-changing maneuvers.

5. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA):

   • When reversing out of parking spaces or driveways, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert uses sensors to detect vehicles approaching from the side and alerts the driver to prevent collisions in those situations when the driver’s view may be obstructed.

6. Blind Spot Warning (BSW):

   • Blind Spot Warning monitors the areas beside and behind the vehicle and provides a visual alert if a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, making lane changes safer and more predictable.

7. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC):

   • Adaptive Cruise Control maintains a set speed but can also adjust to maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. If traffic slows, the system will reduce speed accordingly, and it will accelerate back to the preset speed when traffic clears.

8. Hill Start Assist (HSA):

   • Hill Start Assist helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an incline by temporarily holding the brakes while you switch from the brake pedal to the gas pedal.

9. Active Stability Control (ASC):

   • Active Stability Control works in conjunction with the vehicle’s braking system to help maintain traction when the vehicle begins to lose control due to slippery conditions or sharp turns.

10. Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD):

    • The EBD system adjusts the braking force to each wheel based on weight distribution, helping ensure optimal braking performance and vehicle stability.

11. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS):

    • The ABS helps prevent wheel lockup during hard braking, allowing the driver to maintain control over steering and avoid skidding.

12. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS):

    • The TPMS continuously monitors the air pressure in each tire and alerts the driver if any tire is significantly underinflated, helping to prevent tire-related issues.

Security Features:

1. Security System:

   • The Outlander PHEV comes with an anti-theft alarm system that activates if unauthorized entry is detected, providing an added layer of security against theft.

2. Engine Immobilizer:

   • The engine immobilizer prevents the engine from starting without the proper key, reducing the risk of car theft.

3. Keyless Entry and Push-Button Start:

   • The keyless entry and push-button start system allows the driver to unlock the doors and start the vehicle without removing the key from their pocket or bag. This is both a convenience and a security feature.

4. Rearview Camera:

   • The rearview camera provides a clear view of the area behind the vehicle on the center display, aiding in parking and reversing while preventing collisions with objects or pedestrians.

5. Child Safety Locks:

   • The Outlander PHEV includes child safety locks on the rear doors to prevent them from being opened from the inside by young passengers.

Crash Safety Ratings:

• NHTSA: The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has earned high marks in crash safety, with a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
• IIHS: The vehicle also performed well in IIHS crash tests, earning Good ratings in several categories (such as frontal crash and side impact tests).

The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SE Touring offers several driver assistance features to improve safety and driving convenience. These technologies help reduce driver workload, enhance awareness, and increase overall safety. Here’s an overview of the key drive assistance features in the vehicle:

Key Drive Assistance Features:

1. Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM):

   • Forward Collision Mitigation uses radar and a camera to detect potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians ahead. If a collision is imminent and the driver does not react in time, the system will automatically apply the brakes to reduce the severity of the impact or avoid the collision entirely.

2. Lane Departure Warning (LDW):

   • Lane Departure Warning monitors lane markings on the road and alerts the driver if the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. This feature is designed to prevent accidents caused by distractions or drowsy driving, especially on highways.

3. Lane Change Assist (LCA):

   • Lane Change Assist works by monitoring the vehicle’s blind spots. If it detects another vehicle in the lane you are about to move into, the system will alert you, helping to avoid potential collisions when changing lanes.

4. Blind Spot Warning (BSW):

   • Blind Spot Warning helps you detect vehicles in your blind spots. If a vehicle is present and you signal to change lanes, the system provides a visual alert, warning you that it's not safe to make the maneuver.

5. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA):

   • Rear Cross-Traffic Alert monitors traffic approaching from the sides while you're reversing. If the system detects an approaching vehicle from either direction, it provides an alert, helping prevent collisions when backing out of parking spaces or driveways.

6. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC):

   • Adaptive Cruise Control maintains a set speed but can adjust the vehicle’s speed to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead. If the vehicle in front slows down, the system automatically reduces speed. Once the road clears, the Outlander PHEV accelerates back to the preset speed, making long-distance driving easier and safer.

7. Active Stability Control (ASC):

   • Active Stability Control helps maintain control during slippery or unstable driving conditions. If the system detects a loss of traction (such as on wet or icy roads), it applies brake force to individual wheels to help stabilize the vehicle.

8. Hill Start Assist (HSA):

   • Hill Start Assist prevents the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an incline. It temporarily holds the brakes while you switch from the brake pedal to the gas pedal, giving you more time to accelerate safely without the risk of rolling down the hill.

9. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS):

   • The Tire Pressure Monitoring System continuously checks the pressure of all four tires and provides alerts if any tire is significantly underinflated. Proper tire pressure ensures better handling, safety, and fuel efficiency.

10. Forward Collision Warning (FCW):

    • This system helps detect an impending collision with the vehicle in front and provides an early warning to the driver. It works in tandem with the Forward Collision Mitigation system, giving the driver extra time to respond and take action before the system intervenes.
