allow air to cool the brakes between applica-tions.Furthermore, it might be able to reduce theload of the brakes by using the regenerativebrake force.Leave plenty of room between the front ofyour vehicle and the preceding vehicle.If the caravan begins to sway or becomes dif-ficult to handle, gently slow down or applythe independent trailer brakes (if fitted) NOTthe vehicle brakes. Stop the vehicle andtrailer in a safe location. Examine the tyres ofthe trailer closely for damage. If you find thedamage of tyre, it is recommended that tyresbe inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point or a tyre retailerbefore proceeding further. Note that treadseparation [separation of the tread band fromthe body of the tyre] of trailer tyres which areaged, and/or loaded near their load limit, canbe difficult to detect, especially on caravanswhere tyres are covered.One cause of swaying is poor trailer balanceand until this has been overcome the swayingwill recur. Relocate the load in your trailer orcaravan and re-assess the problem.If the wheels of your vehicle, the trailer orcaravan leave the road surface and enter the
unsealed edge of the road, resist the urge topull it back quickly. Wait for a section wherethe levels of the road and unsealed edge arecomparable and then ease back onto thesealed section of the road with as little swayas possible.Try to maximise the distance between yourcaravan and passing or overtaking semi-trail-ers or other heavy vehicles. This will reducethe suction forces between the two and mini-mise disturbance of the caravan.Do not apply the brakes severely, be alert andanticipate trouble far enough ahead to enableyou to apply the brakes smoothly and evenly.Do not make any manoeuvres before ensuringthat the road behind and in front of your vehi-cle is clear.This will normally occur as a result of somemechanical failure. If your vehicle shouldoverheat, stop and check for a loose or brokenwater pump drive belt/ oil pump/cooling oil, ablocked radiator air intake or a low coolantlevel. If these items are satisfactory the over-heating could be caused by a number of
mechanical causes that would have to bechecked at a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point.If your vehicle is in good mechanical condi-tion and it overheats due to heavy traffic con-ditions or high air temperatures, additionalcooling may be obtained by the followingmethods:zReduce your speed by 15 km/h if towingat high speeds.

CAUTIONzIf the engine overheats,
reference should be
made to “Engine overheating” section of“For emergencies” prior to taking any cor-rective action.

The settings described above are the factorysettings.The air selection and air conditioningswitches can be customised (function settingchanged), and the automatic switching of out-side air and the air conditioner according tooperating conditions can be changed asdesired.For further information, we recommend youto consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-ised Service Point.Refer to “Customising the air conditioningswitch” on page 8-8.Refer to “Customising the air selection” onpage 8-7.The driver’s side and the passenger’s sidetemperature can be controlled independently.At this time, the “DUAL” indicator will beshown in the display (A).
zSynchronized modeIf the driver’s side temperature controlswitch is pressed, the passenger’s sidetemperature will also be controlled to thesame setting temperature as the driver’sside.zDual modeIf the passenger’s side temperature con-trol switch is pressed under synchronizedmode, the system will switch to dualmode. In dual mode, the driver’s side andthe passenger’s side temperature can beset separately by using each temperaturecontrol switch.Press the AUTO switch to return to syn-chronized mode.

Refer to the separateowner’s manual for details.
CAUTIONzUse of the recirculation position for anextended time may cause the windows to fogup.
NOTE
zNormally, use the outside position to keepthe windscreen and side windows clear andquickly remove fog or frost from the wind-screen.If high cooling performance is desired, or ifthe outside air is dusty
or otherwise contami-
nated use the recirculation position. Switchto the outside position periodically toincrease ventilation so that the windows donot become fogged up.zWhen the engine coolant temperature rises toa certain level, the air selection is automati-cally switched to the recirculation positionand the indicator lamp (A) comes on. At thistime, the system will not switch to the out-side position even if the air selection switchis pushed.zWhen the outside air temperature is high, thesystem will not switch to the outside positioneven the air selection switch is pressed if theair conditioner is operating. This is to protectthe air conditioner compressor and is not afailure.

Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant willcause severe damage which will result in theneed to replace your vehicle’s entire air con-ditioning system. New regulations in supportof the Australian Government’s Ozone Pro-tection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Man-agement Act 1989 became effective inJanuary 2005. To ensure your vehicle servic-ing and repairs conform with requirements,the air conditioning system should beinspected and maintained by a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorised Service Point.The air conditioner should be operated for atleast five minutes each week, even in coldweather. This is to prevent poor lubrication ofthe compressor internal parts and to maintainthe air conditioner in the best operating con-dition.

When the engine is overheating, the informa-tion screen in the multi information displaywill be interrupted and the engine coolanttemperature warning display will appear.If this occurs, take the following correctivemeasures:1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from theengine compartment.[If steam does not come from the enginecompartment]Wi t h t h e Pl ug - i n H yb r i d E V s ys t em s t i l lstarting, raise the bonnet to ventilate theengine compartment.[If steam is coming from the engine com-partment]Stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV system, andwhen the steam stops, raise the bonnet toventilate the engine compartment. Restartthe Plug-in Hybrid EV system.
WA R N I N GzWhen connecting the jumper cables, donot connect the positive (+) cable to thenegative (-) terminal. Otherwise sparksmight cause explosion of the battery.CAUTIONzUse care not to get the jumper cable caughtin the cooling fan or other rotating part in theengine compartment.NOTE
zIf the jumper cable is
connected to the any
position other than a
ppointed position, it
may could cause damage to the vehicle.

The tools are stowed on the right side of theluggage area.The jack is stowed in the luggage floor box.The storage location of the tools and jackshould be remembered in case of an emer-gency.
WA R N I N GzMake sure that the engine and the Plug-inHybrid EV system
have cooled down
before removing the
radiator cap (D) and
the reserve tank cap (E), because hotsteam or boiling water otherwise will gushfrom the filler port and may scald you.CAUTIONzDo 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.
