l
Put the selector lever to the “B” (BRAKE) or
“C” (COMFORT) position according to the
road condition. To charge the traction battery
with appropriate use of regenerative braking
can increase the cruising range. Installation of accessories
E00200301003
We
recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l The installation of accessories, optional
parts, etc., should only be carried out within
the limits prescribed by law in your country,
and in accordance with the guidelines and
warnings contained within the documents ac-
companying this vehicle.
l Installing electric components incorrectly
could lead to a fire. See the “Modification/al-
terations to the electrical systems” section
within this owner’s manual.
l Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the
vehicle without an external antenna may
cause electrical system interference, which
could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifi-
cations must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for in-
formation regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and replacement
parts of different manufactures available in the mar-
ket, it is not possible, not only for MITSUBISHI
MOTORS, but also for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point, to check whether the at-
tachment or installation of such parts affects the
overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially authorized, for
example
by a “general operators permit” (an ap-
praisal for the part) or through the execution of the
part in an officially approved manner of construc-
tion, or when a single operation permit following
the attachment or installation of such parts, it can-
not be deduced from that alone, that the driving safe-
ty of your vehicle has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists no liability
on the part of the appraiser or the official. Maxi-
mum safety can only be ensured with parts recom-
mended, sold and fitted or installed by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS authorized Service Point
(MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine replacement
parts and MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories).
The same also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the produc-
tion specifications. For safety reasons, do not at-
tempt any modifications other than those that fol-
low the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS authorized Service Point. General information

Cautions and actions to deal with intense heat
E00203000017
l When
the vehicle is driven in a high ambient temperature, its air-conditioner performance can be insufficient. Also, using the air conditioner can reduce the
vehicle’s cruising range.
l When the ambient temperature is approximately 40 °C or higher, the phenomena described below may occur. Please take the described corrective action. Approx. ambient tem-
perature Phenomena Corrective action
Approx. 40 °C to
45 °C Startup and driving During quick charging, repeated high-speed driving, or repeated uphill
driving, the power down warning lamp* comes on and the motor out-
put is restricted to protect the traction battery or motor (electric motor
unit).
Stop the vehicle for a while, avoid
quick charging, and wait for the power
down warning lamp* to go off.Approx. 45 °C to
60 °C Startup and driving
During continued high-speed driving or continued uphill driving, the
power down warning lamp* comes on and the motor output is restric-
ted to protect the traction battery or motor (electric motor unit).
If you continue driving after the power down warning lamp* has come
on, the vehicle may stop when you have driven a few kilometres. (The
vehicle stops when the traction battery temperature reaches

60 °C.)
Charging and battery Charging may become impossible. (When the traction battery tempera-
ture

is 60 °C or higher, charging is limited to protect the traction battery. Park in a well-ventilated, shady place.
The traction battery capacity decreases more quickly, and the cruising
range decreases more quickly. When you park, do so in a well-ventila-
ted, shady place.Approx. 60 °C or high-
er Startup and driving
The power down warning lamp* comes on, and the vehicle may stop.
(The vehicle stops when the traction battery temperature reaches
60 °C.) Park in a well-ventilated, shady place,
avoid quick charging, and wait for the
power down warning lamp* to go off.
Charging and battery Deterioration of the traction battery becomes extremely fast. Park in a well-ventilated, shady place. NOTE
l *: Refer to “Power down warning lamp” on page

4-11. Illumination of the power down warning lamp does not indicate a malfunction. General information

Cautions and actions to deal with intense cold
E00203100021
l When
the vehicle is driven in a low ambient temperature, its heater performance can be insufficient. Also, using the heater can reduce the vehicle’s cruising
range.
l When the ambient temperature is approximately -15 °C or lower, the phenomena described below may occur. Please take the described corrective action. Approx.
ambient tempera- ture Phenomena Corrective action
Approx. -15 °C or
lower Startup and driving
l
Motor
output is restricted, and the power down warning lamp* 1
may come on.
l If the traction battery’s remaining power is low (approximately
30%), driving performance decreases by approximately 20%. Continue driving. (As the traction battery
temperature rises, the output restriction
will gradually be removed.)
Charging and battery l
Charging times get longer.
• Regular
charge: Becomes approximately 2-3 hours longer at
-15 °C.
• Quick charge: Becomes approximately 2 hours longer at - 15 °C.
• Charging times get longer with further reductions in tempera- ture.
l Charging may complete with 16 bars of energy level gauge* 2
does not go on. Even if charging is completed with 16 bars of en-
ergy level gauge come on, the 16th bar may go off early. The light-
ing bars may decrease with further reductions in temperature. When you have finished driving, charge
the traction battery before its temperature
falls.General information

Approx.
ambient tempera- ture Phenomena Corrective action
Approx. -25 °C or
lower (including
the phenomena of approx. -15 °C or lower) Startup and driving
l
Driving performance decreases by approximately 50%. Continue driving. (As the traction battery
temperature rises, the output restriction
will gradually be removed.)
Charging and battery l
Charging
may become impossible. (When the traction battery tem-
perature is -25 °C or lower, charging is limited to protect the trac-
tion battery.) When you have finished driving, charge
the traction battery before its temperature
falls.Approx. -30 °C or
lower (including
the phenomena of approx. -15 °C or
lower and -25 °C or lower) Startup and driving l
The
ready indicator* 3
does not come on, and startup may not be
possible.
l In the worst-case scenario, the vehicle may become undrivable
(with the energy level gauge and cruising range indications still
shown). In the daytime, wait for the temperature
to
rise. When the temperature in the vicin-
ity of the traction battery has risen, start
up. (Once you start driving, the traction
battery temperature will rise. Provided
the traction battery has some power, the
vehicle will not stop.)
l Regenerative braking performance may decrease.
To decelerate, press the brake pedal.
(The deterioration in regenerative brak-
ing performance is like a deterioration in
engine braking in a petrol- or diesel-en-
gine version. If you press the brake ped-
al, the brakes will work.)NOTE
