Last time we talked about the safety ratings of the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander, and a lot of those ratings are thanks to the incredible top-of-the-line safety features found in the Outlander. Safety features of a vehicle should be one of the most important factors you look at when buying a car, especially if you’re going to trust one with transporting your family. Mitsubishi packs the 2018 Outlander with features that will ensure you can have peace of mind when you take it out on the road.

Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Mitigation

Mitsubishi’s Adaptive Cruise Control system uses radar technology to judge distances between you and the vehicle ahead, helping you maintain a safe driving distance. If the car in front of you moves out of your lane or goes beyond your set speed, the intuitive system will adapt and readjust to whatever speed you have set. It’s a great feature that means less breaking and less wear and tear on your vehicle.

Using similar technology, the Forward Collision Mitigation system uses laser radar and cameras to determine if a frontal collision is imminent. If so, it warns you with audio and visual signals and automatically provides braking to try to reduce the severity of the collision or avoid it altogether if possible.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

When you’re backing up, sometimes it can be difficult to see an approaching vehicle coming from the side behind you. The Rear Cross Traffic Alert system will show warning lights on both side mirrors, play a buzzer sound to alert you and send a warning message to the information screen of the color multi-information display.

Blind Spot Warning and Lane Change Assist

These two features work together to alert you when a vehicle is in or approaching your blind spot. When a vehicle is in the lane next to you and traveling at the same speed or faster, a warning light will illuminate on the corresponding side mirror. If your turn signal is on, the system will also beep three times to alert you that it’s unsafe to change lanes.

We’ve outlined just some of the most important safety features in the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander, but there are many more. Mitsubishi is committed to keeping you and your family safe when you take your vehicle out for a ride and the features of the 2018 Outlander reflect that.
