Operating hints
l Be  sure  that  the  driving  speed  does  not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration.  It  is  also  recommended  that  you obey the local regulations in case driving speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l To  prevent  shocks  from  the  overrun
brake,  depress  the  brake  pedal  lightly  at first and then more strongly.
Overheating
This  will  normally  occur  as  a  result  of  some
mechanical  failure.  If  your  vehicle  should overheat,  stop  and  check  for  a  loose  or  bro-ken  water  pump/alternator  drive  belt,  a
blocked  radiator  air  intake  or  a  low  coolant level.  If  these  items  are  satisfactory  the  over-
heating  could  be  caused  by  a  number  of  me-
chanical  causes  that  would  have  to  be
checked at a competent service centre.
CAUTIONl If  the  engine  overheats,  reference  should  be
made  to  “Engine  overheating”  section  of
“For  emergencies”  prior  to  taking  any  cor- rective action.Parking
It  is  not  recommended  to  park  on  a  steep
slope while towing trailer.
If parking on a steep slope cannot be avoided,
the  road  grade  should  be  less  than  12% and
the following procedure performed. 1. Apply  the  parking  brake  firmly  on  the
vehicle and the trailer (if fitted).
2. Put the select position in “P”.
3. Place  chocks  or  blocks  at  the  tyres  on
both vehicle and trailer.
4. Turn  the  front  wheels  into  the  shoulder
of  the  road  to  prevent  the  vehicle  from moving.
Driving on long up hills while towing trailer
When the remaining quantity of the drive bat-tery  is  low,  or  high-speed  driving  on  long  up
hills  at  high  temperature,  the  drive  battery
output is restricted and the vehicle speed may be decreased.
The  vehicle  speed  may  be  recovered  if  the
drive battery quantity is recovered.

l While the engine coolant temperature is low,
the  temperature  of  the  air  from  the  heaterwill  not  change  instantly,  even  if  you  have selected warm air with the switch.
To  prevent  the  windscreen  and  windows from fogging up, the ventilator mode will be
changed to “

When  heating,  the  engine  starts  running  be-
cause  the  heating  system  uses  the  heat  of  en-
gine coolant.
On  vehicles  with  electric  heater,  it  can  de-
crease  the  number  of  times  engine  starting because  electrical  power  stored  in  the  drive battery is also used when heating.LW/MW/FM radio/CD

in  Hybrid  EV  system  is  not  operating,  put the  operation  mode  of  the  power  switch  in
ACC.
If the operation mode of the power switch is
left  in  ACC,  the  accessory  power  will  auto- matically  turn  off  after  a  certain  period  oftime  and  you  will  no  longer  be  able  to  use

it  may  create  noise  from  the  audio  equip-
ment.  This  does  not  mean  that  anything  is wrong with your audio equipment. In such acase,  use  the  cellular  phone  at  a  place  as  far
away as possible from the audio equipment.
l If foreign objects or water get into the audio
equipment,  or  if  smoke  or  a  strange  odour comes  from  it,  immediately  turn  off  the  au-

1.Get  the  vehicles  close  enough  so  the
jumper  cables  can  reach,  but  be  sure  the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each ve-
hicle.  Set  the  gear  of  another  vehicle  in
“P”  (PARK)  position  (with  A/T)  or  in
“N”  (Neutral)  position  (with  M/T)  and
stop the engine.WARNINGl When  connecting  the  jumper  cable,  stop
the engine in the other vehicle. Otherwise, the  cables  or  your  clothes  may  be  caught by  the  fan  or  drive  belt  and  personal  in-
jury could result.
l The  cooling  fan  turns  on  and  off  depend-
ing  on  the  coolant  temperature.  Do  not bring  your  hands  close  to  the  fan  while
the  engine  is  running  or  the  Plug-in  Hy-
brid EV System is operating.
4. Open  the  bonnet,  remove  the  fuse  cover
of the main fuse block.
Refer  to  “Bonnet”  on  page  11-04 and
“Fuses:  Engine  compartment”  on  page
11-17.
5. Open  the  cover  of  the  jumper  cable  ter-
minal in the main fuse block.
NOTEl You  cannot  rescue  another  vehicle’s  dis-
charged battery by connecting jumper cables
while using this jumper cable terminal.
6. Connect one end of one jumper cable 
to  the  jumper  cable  terminal  (A)  of  your
vehicle, and the other end 
  to the posi-
tive  (+)  terminal  of  the  booster  battery (B).
Connect one end of the other jumper ca- ble 
  to  the  negative  (-)  terminal  of  the
booster  battery,  and  the  other  end 
  to
the  designated  ground  location  of  your
vehicle.WARNINGl When  connecting  the  jumper  cables,  do
not  connect  the  positive  (+)  cable  to  the
negative  (-)  terminal.  Otherwise  sparks
might cause explosion of the battery.

CAUTIONlTake care not to get the jumper cable caught
in  the  cooling  fan  or  other  rotating  part  in
the engine compartment.NOTEl If the jumper cable is connected to any posi-
tion  other  than  the  appointed  position,  it
could cause damage to the vehicle.
7. Start the engine in the vehicle which has
the  booster  battery,  let  the  engine  idle  a
few  minutes,  then  start  the  Plug-in  Hy- brid EV system in your vehicle.
8. Check  that  the  ready  indicator  illumi-
nates.  If  the  ready  indicator  does  not  il- luminate,  contact  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
9. When  the  ready  indicator  illuminates,
disconnect  the  jumper  cables  in  the  re-
verse order of connection.
10. Check  that  the  select  position  can  be
shifted to all positions other than the “P”(PARK) position.
11. Have  the  auxiliary  battery  inspected  by
your  nearest  MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
CAUTIONl Your  vehicle  is  equipped  with  an  exclusive
auxiliary  battery.  Even  if  the  battery  type  is the  same,  the  battery  may  not  be  correctly
installed in your vehicle. When replacing the auxiliary  battery,  request  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS   Authorized  Service  Point  to  do
so.Engine overheating
E00800603745
When the engine is overheating, the informa-tion  screen  in  the  multi  information  display
will  be  interrupted  and  the  engine  coolant
temperature warning display will appear.
If  this  occurs,  take  the  following  corrective measures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the
engine compartment.
 
[If steam does not come from the engine
compartment]
With  the  Plug-in  Hybrid  EV  system  still starting,  raise  the  bonnet  to  ventilate  the
engine compartment.
 
[If  steam  is  coming  from  the  engine
compartment]
Stop  the  Plug-in  Hybrid  EV  system,  and
when the steam stops, raise the bonnet to
ventilate  the  engine  compartment.  Re-
start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system.WARNINGl Do  not  open  the  bonnet  while  steam  is
coming  from  the  engine  compartment.  It could  cause  steam  or  hot  water  to  spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt out  even  when  there  is  no  steam  coming
out,  and  some  parts  will  be  very  hot.  Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be  careful  of  hot  steam,  which  could  be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
l Do  not  attempt  to  remove  the  radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
3. Confirm  that  the  cooling  fans  (A)  are
turning.

4. Check  the  coolant  level  in  the  reserve
tank (B and C).
B: Reserve tank for engine cooling
C: Reserve tank for EV cooling system
5. Add  coolant  to  the  radiator  and/or  re-
serve  tank  if  necessary.  (Refer  to  the
“Maintenance” section.)WARNINGl Make sure that the engine and the Plug-in
Hybrid  EV  system  have  cooled  down  be-
fore  removing  the  radiator  cap  (D)  and the  reserve  tank  cap  (E),  because  hotsteam or boiling water will otherwise gush
from the filler port and may scald you.CAUTIONl Do  not  add  coolant  while  the  engine  is  hot.
Suddenly  adding  cold  coolant  could  damage the  engine.  Wait  for  the  engine  to  cool
down, then add coolant a little at a time.
6. Examine  the  radiator  hoses  for  coolant
leakage  and  the  drive  belt  for  looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing  system  or  drive  belt,  we  recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.
