Regenerative braking
Motion energy is converted into electric ener-
gy using the motor as a power generator.
Then a braking force generates and converted electric  energy  will  be  charged  to  the  drive
battery.
l If  you  lift  your  foot  off  the  accelerator
pedal during driving, a braking force that
is equivalent to engine braking of a com- bustion engine vehicle will be generated.
Also,  if  you  shift  the  select  position  into “B”  (BRAKE)  from  “D”  (DRIVE),  ef-
fectiveness of the regenerative braking is getting  stronger.  Shift  the  selector  lever into “B” (BRAKE) position according to
the driving condition.
l Regenerative  brake  force  increases  with
the foot brake force when the brake ped-
al is depressed.
l If a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid
EV  system,  or  if  the  ABS  and/or  the ASC  have  been  activated,  the  regenera-
tive  braking  will  be  restricted.  The  foot brake will still operate.Operation of gasoline engine

l Even  when  the  vehicle  is  driving  in  EV
drive  mode,  it  may  be  automatically
changed  to  series  hybrid  mode  or  paral-
lel hybrid mode in the following cases: • The  plug-in  hybrid  EV  system  is  too
hot or too cold.
• Quick acceleration is applied.
• The air conditioner is operating.
• The  accelerator  pedal  is  depressed
hard on an uphill road or expressway.
• In cold weather
• The  vehicle  has  not  been  refueled  for
a long time.
• The drive battery level is low.
In  addition  to  the  above,  there  are  more
cases  where  EV  drive  mode  is  automati-
cally changed to series or parallel hybrid mode.
l Even  while  the  vehicle  is  stopped,  the
engine  may  automatically  be  started  in the following cases: • The drive battery level is low.
• The  plug-in  hybrid  EV  system  is  too
hot or too cold.
• The air conditioner is used.
• The  vehicle  has  not  been  used  for  a
long time.
• The engine has not been operated for a long time.Refueling (gasoline)

l If  the  warning  display  appears,  refuel  as
soon as possible.
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the engine will  not  start  even  in  a  situation  need  to be  generated  electricity,  the  following
conditions will occur. • The  driving  performance  falls  (since
only  the  electrical  power  stored  in  the drive  battery  can  be  used  for  the  driv-
ing).
• The  heating  performance  cannot  be
available  (except  vehicles  with  elec-
tric heater).
• The  effectiveness  of  the  heater  is  in-
sufficient  (vehicles  with  electric  heat-er).
• The  catalytic  converter  may  be  dam-
aged  due  to  excessive  high  tempera- ture.

E00204300033
When  performing  inspection  and  mainte-
nance, be careful in the following points.
WARNINGl Before  performing  inspection  or  mainte-
nance,  be  sure  to  disconnect  the  charge connector  from  the  vehicle  and  confirmthat  put  the  operation  mode  of  the  power
switch in “OFF”.WARNINGl Never  touch,  disassemble,  remove  or  re-
place highvoltage parts, exposed electrical
components, cables or connectors. Failure
to  follow  this  instruction  can  result  in  se- vere  burns  or  electric  shock  causing  seri-ous  injury  or  death.  High-voltage  cables are  colored  orange.  The  vehicle  high  volt-
age  system  has  no  user  serviceable  parts. Take  your  vehicle  to  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS   Authorized  Service  Point  for
any necessary maintenance.
l Never  touch  the  service  plug  under  the
rear seat. Improper handling of this could
cause  an  electric  shock  which  result  in  a
serious  injury  or  death.  The  service  plug
is  used  to  shut  off  the  high  voltage  from the drive battery when repairing the vehi-
cle  at  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Author-
ized Service Point.

WARNINGlIf the POWER or CHARGING indicator does not illuminates or the FAULT indicator blinks or illuminates during normal charging, please contact
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l Do not charge when the EV charging cable is coiled up.
The cable may be heated and resulting in fire.
l Do not alter or disassemble the EV charging cable. Doing so could cause fire, an electric shock or injury.
l Be sure to install the cap to the normal charge connector and store the EV charging cable in a place where the cable is not exposed to water or dust.
Entry  of  foreign  matter  such  as  water  or  dust  in  the  metal  terminal  of  the  normal  charge  connector  or  charging  cable  plug  may  cause  a  fire  or malfunction. Contact with metal such as wire or tool may cause fire, an electric shock or malfunction.
l Never  force  the  connection  if  the  EV  charging  cable  or  connector  shows  damage  or  is  not  easily  connected  due  to  foreign  material  entering  the
connector or the outlet. And never use an outlet that is worn, damaged, or will not hold the plug firmly. Doing so could cause fire, an electric shock,
or short circuit.
l Pay attention to the following for handling the EV charging cable.
Damage to the cable could cause fire, an electric shock, or short circuit.
• Do not drop the cable or do not give strong impact to it.
• Do not pull with undue force.
• Do not twist.
• Do not drag.
• Do not put an object on top.
• Do not put the cable close to a heating unit including heater.CAUTIONl Do not connect the normal charge cable to an outlet that has a lower rating than the current value described on the control box.NOTElAll indicators are illuminated momentarily for confirming operation when the charging cable plug is inserted into an outlet. After that the POWER indicator
and the CHARGING indicator is continuously illuminated.
l The  CHARGING  indicator  will  start  to  blink  when  the  charging  is  completed.  The  POWER  indicator  is  continuously  illuminated  while  the  charging  cable
plug is inserted into an outlet.

temperature  may  be  felt  while  using  the heated seats. This is caused by the operation
of  the  heater’s  internal  thermostat  and  does not indicate a malfunction.

stick  pins,  needles,  or  other  pointed  objects into it.
l Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other mate-
rial  with  high  heat  insulation  properties  on
the  seat  while  using  the  heater;  this  might
cause the heater element to overheat
l Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol, alcohol

Rear window demisterswitch E00507902297
The  rear  window  demister  switch  can  be  op- erated when the operation mode of the power
switch is in ON.
Push  the  switch  to  turn  on  the  rear  window
demister.  It  will  be  turned  off  automatically
in  about  15  to  20  minutes  depending  on  the outside  temperature.  To  turn  off  the  demister
while it is operating, push the switch again. The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the demister is on.NOTEl Do  not  use  this  switch  when  the  ready  indi-
cation lamp is not illuminated. The auxiliary battery could go flat, making it impossible to
start the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.NOTEl Since  the  demister  requires  a  significant
amount  of  power,  stop  the  demister  as  soonas  the  window  is  demisted.  Using  it  for  along  time  may  reduce  the  auxiliary  battery
voltage,  making  it  impossible  to  start  the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
l When  the  rear  window  demister  switch  is
pressed,  the  outside  rear-view  mirrors  are defogged or defrosted. Refer to  “Heated mir-
ror” on page 7-08.
l On vehicles equipped with the wiper de-icer,
when  the  rear  window  demister  switch  is pushed,  the  window  glass  becomes  warm and  the  wipers  become  operable.  Refer  to
“Wiper de-icer switch” on page 6-58.NOTEl It  is  possible  to  change  the  setting  to  make
the  rear  window  demister  operate  automati-
cally  when  ambient  temperature  becomes
low  while  the  ready  indication  lamp  is  illu- minated,  even  if  you  do  not  push  the  rear
window demister switch.
It operates automatically only once after put-
ting the operation mode in ON.
If you choose this setting, the heated mirrors (if  so  equipped)  and  wiper  de-icer  (if  so
equipped)  will  also  operate  automatically  at the same time.

l The  demister  switch  is  not  to  melt  snow  but
to  clear  mist.  Remove  snow  before  use  of
the demister switch.
l When  cleaning  the  inside  of  the  rear  win-
dow,  use  a  soft  cloth  and  wipe  gently  along the heater wires, being careful not to damage
the wires.
l Do  not  allow  objects  to  touch  the  inside  of
the  rear  window  glass,  damaged  or  broken wires may result.
