is not sufficient, the voltage is low
or the temperature of the motor
(electric motor unit) or traction bat-
tery is high or low
NOTE l When the power down warning
lamp illuminates, avoid sudden ac-
celeration and sudden starting.
When the remaining power in the
traction battery is low, recharge
the traction battery as soon as pos-
sible.

CAUTION
l
If the ready indicator goes out while driv-
ing, the brake servomechanism will cease
to function and braking efficiency will de-
teriorate. Also, the power steering system
may not operate, the steering wheel feels
heavy when turning it.
l When the ready indicator has turned off,
turn the electric motor switch to the
“LOCK” position.
Leaving the electric motor switch in the
“ON” or “ACC” position and using elec-
trical devices such as the audio system for
a long time could cause the auxiliary bat-
tery to go flat and prevent the electric mo-
tor unit from being started. Steering wheel lock
E00601500692
To lock
Remove the key at the “LOCK” position.
Turn the steering wheel until it is locked.
To unlock
Turn

the key to the “ACC” position while moving
the steering wheel slightly right and left. CAUTION
l
Remove the key when leaving the vehicle.
In some countries, it is prohibited to leave
the key in the vehicle when parked. Starting the electric motor unit
E00629300012 CAUTION
l
Never
attempt to start the electric motor
unit by pushing or pulling the vehicle.
The starting procedure is as follows: 1. Insert
the key in the electric motor switch
and fasten the seat belt.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
4. Make sure the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. NOTE
l The

electric motor unit will not start unless
the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion. Starting and driving

If the ABS warning lamp and brake warning
lamp illuminate at the same time
The
ABS and brake force distribution function may
not work, so hard braking could make the vehicle
unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop
the vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you
to have it checked.
NOTE
l The warning lamp may be illuminated when
the electric motor unit is started while the aux-
iliary battery voltage is low, but this is not an
ABS malfunction.
When the traction battery is charged, the aux-
iliary battery is charged at the same time, and
the warning lamp will go out.
If the warning lamp does not go out or illumi-
nates from time to time even after the battery
is charged, have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. After driving on icy roads
E00618800176
After
driving on snowy or icy roads, remove any
snow and ice which may have be left around the
wheels. Be careful not to damage the wheel speed
sensors (A) or the cables located at each wheel.
Front
Rear Electric power steering system
(EPS) E00629200079
The

electric power steering system (EPS) uses an
electric motor to assist the turning of the steering
wheel.
NOTE
l During repeated full-lock turning of the steer-
ing wheel (for example, while you are ma-
noeuvring the vehicle into a parking space),
a protection function may be activated to pre-
vent overheating of the power steering sys-
tem. This function will make the steering
wheel gradually harder to turn. In this event,
limit your turning of the steering wheel for a
while. When the system has cooled down,
the steering action will return to normal.
l If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlamps on, the
headlamps may become dim. This behaviour
is not abnormal. The headlamps will return
to their original brightness after a short while. Starting and driving

If the vehicle breaks down
E00800101296
If
the vehicle breaks down on the road, move it to
the shoulder and use the hazard warning flashers and/
or the warning triangle etc. Refer to “Hazard warn-
ing flasher switch” on page 4-15.
If the ready indicator goes out while
driving
Vehicle operation and control are affected if the
ready indicator goes out while driving. Before mov-
ing the vehicle to a safe area, be aware of the fol-
lowing:

and the pedal effort will increase. Press
down the brake pedal harder than usual.
l The power steering system may not operate,
the steering wheel feels heavy when turning it. Emergency starting
E00800502659
If
the electric motor unit cannot be started because
the auxiliary battery is weak or dead, the battery
from another vehicle can be used with jumper ca-
bles to start the electric motor unit. WARNING
l To
start the electric motor unit by using
jumper cables from another vehicle, per-
form the correct procedures according to
the instruction below. Incorrect proce-
dures could result in a fire or explosion
or damage to the vehicles. CAUTION
l
The
electric motor unit cannot be started
by pulling or pushing the vehicle.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of chil-
dren.
1. Get
the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles
aren’t touching each other. CAUTION
l
Check
the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting
can damage both vehicles. 2. Turn
off all lamps, heater and other electrical
loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on your vehicle and move the selector lever into the “P” posi-
tion.
4. Set the parking brake firmly on another vehi- cle. Put an A/T in “P” (PARK) or a M/T in
“N” (Neutral).
5. Turn the ignition switch or the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position. WARNING
l Perform
step 5 on both vehicles before-
hand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes
cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.
6. Remove
the battery cover, and then make sure auxiliary battery electrolyte is at the prop-
er level.
Refer to “Auxiliary battery” on page 8-12. WARNING
l If
electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the
temperature is below the freezing point
or if it is not filled to the proper level.
7. Connect
one end of one jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the discharged bat-
tery (A), and the other end to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery (B). For emergencies

Connect one end of the other jumper cable to
the
negative (-) terminal of the booster bat-
tery, and the other end to the designated loca-
tion of the vehicle with the discharged bat-
tery at the point farthest from the battery. WARNING
l Make
sure you observe the following or-
der when connecting the cables: → →
→
l
Make sure you make connection to the
correct

designated location (as shown in
the illustration). If the connection is made
directly to the negative (-) side of the dis-
charged battery, flammable gases gener-
ated from the battery might catch fire
and explode. WARNING
l When
connecting the jumper cables, do
not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (-) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery. CAUTION
l
Take
care not to get the jumper cable
caught in the cooling fan or other rotat-
ing part in the bonnet room or engine com-
partment.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the bat-
tery size to prevent overheating of the ca-
bles.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
8. Start
the engine in the vehicle which has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few mi-
nutes, then start the electric motor unit in the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
9. Check that the ready indicator illuminates.

[When the ready indicator illuminates]
Stop

the engine of another vehicle, discon-
nect the cables in the reverse order and
charge the auxiliary battery for more than 30
minutes.
After the auxiliary battery is charged, contin-
ue the process from step 16.

[When the ready indicator does not illuminate]
Both the auxiliary battery and the traction bat-
tery have gone flat at the same time.
Charge the auxiliary battery and the traction
battery by the following procedures (from
steps 10 to 14).

10. Keep connecting the jumper cable to each ve- hicle, turn the electric motor switch of your
vehicle to the “LOCK” position.
NOTE l The jumper cable needs to be connected to
the auxiliary battery when you start charging
the traction battery because the on board
charger etc. operate with a power source of
auxiliary battery.
11. Charge the traction battery by regular charg- ing. (Refer to “Regular charging” on page
1-04.)
12. When the charging indicator on the instru- ment cluster is illuminated, stop the engine
of another vehicle, disconnect the cables in
the reverse order. For emergencies
