Mitsubishi Motors Australia confirms Triton DMS upgrade

Robert Barry · 0 comments

Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) says feedback from dealers, media, and customers has led to an enhancement to the Driver Monitoring System that will benefit the user experience in the new Triton. 

The latest DMS calibration will be applied to all new Tritons sold with immediate effect. MMAL has initiated a service campaign to support the updated DMS software rollout to existing customer vehicles. 

The software will be installed at the next service. Servicing dealers can also update the software outside the regular service schedule should the customer request it.

“Since the Triton’s launch in February this year, MMAL has been actively seeking feedback across key stakeholders,” MMAL chief executive Shaun Westcott says.

“In collating that feedback, we have leveraged our core market relationship with Mitsubishi Motors Corporation to identify areas of potential future improvement that we believe can maximise our customers’ ownership experience.

“The updated Driver Monitoring System software is evidence of our agility in responding quickly to feedback. The new DMS software supports the driver’s safety while reducing operational sensitivity to specific natural movements. The minimum speed threshold has also been raised.

“MMAL prioritises safety and is proud of the Triton’s five-star ANCAP safety rating – the first Pickup in Australia to meet the latest 2023 ANCAP protocols.

“The calibration of DMS requires a delicate balance, ensuring adherence to strict ANCAP safety protocols while not overly impacting the user experience.

 “We’re confident the updated software further enhances the drive while remaining five-star ANCAP safe,” he says
