WARNING•Do not get in the vehicle (including the
luggage compartment) to take out something or for other purposes.
• Do not open the rear hatch, for exam-
ple to remove or place an item in the cargo area.
Charging may affect the operation of elec-
tric medical devices and result in serious personal injury or death.
l Do not charge when the EV charging ca-
ble is coiled up.
Doing so the cable may be heated and this might result in fire.
l Before charging, make sure that there is
no foreign matter such as dust at the nor- mal charge port and the normal charge
connector.
At this time, do not touch the normal
charge port.
l When the normal charge connector is
connected to the charge port, prevent for-
eign matter such as water or dust from
entering in the connection.
Connection with foreign matter such as
water or dust may cause fire or an electric shock. Do not perform charging if theremight be strong exposure to water at the
connection.
l Never pull the cable to remove the plug.
And never submerge the EV charging
connector, control box or plug in water.
l Please observe the following in order to
prevent accidents during charging such as
electrocution.WARNING• Only use the EV charging cable that is
supplied with the vehicle.
• Do not charge another vehicle by the
EV charging cable. The cable may overheat and this may result in a fire.
• When charging outdoors, make sure to
use an outlet that is protected from wa-
ter entering.
• Do not perform charging with the car
cover.
• Do not connect or disconnect the plug
and connector with wet hands.
l While it is normal for the connector and
charging cable to become warm during charging, discontinue use immediately if
the connector or charging cable becomes hot to the touch.
l While it is normal for the control box to
become warm during charging, discontin-
ue use immediately if the control box be- comes hot to the touch.
l If abnormal smells are detected or the ve-
hicle produces smoke, quickly stop charg-
ing.
l Do not perform charging in a poorly ven-
tilated area or in an enclosed area. Keep
sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from
the auxiliary battery.
Flammable gas generated from the auxili- ary battery during charging may be trap- ped, resulting in explosion.
If charging is inevitably required, venti-
late the area well.WARNINGl Grasp the normal charge connector when
connecting or disconnecting the EVcharging cable.
Grasping the cable may damage the cable
and could cause an electric shock, short circuit, and/or fire.CAUTIONl During charging, the cooling fans inside the
engine room may automatically be operated even if the operation mode of the powerswitch in OFF.
Keep your hands away from the cooling fan during charging.
l Do not perform charging from other power
source like a generator. Doing so could cause a malfunction.NOTEl If the charge connector is not easily connec-
ted to the charge port due to foreign materialentering, never force the connection. Doing so could damage the charging equipment or
the vehicle. Please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l The on board charger is only for rated AC
220-240V outlets.

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.

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.

[If the cooling fans are turning]
After the high coolant temperature warn-
ing has gone off, stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV system.
[If the cooling fans are not turning]
Stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV system im-
mediately and contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point for
assistance.*: Front of the vehicleWARNINGl Be careful not to get your hands or clothes
caught in the cooling fan.
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.
