After operating the vehicle in rough road con-ditions, be sure to perform the followinginspection and maintenance procedures:zCheck that the vehicle has not been dam-aged by rocks, gravel, etc.zCarefully wash the vehicle with water.Drive the vehicle slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal in order to dryout the brakes. If the brakes still do notfunction properly, we recommend you tohave the brakes checked as soon as possi-ble.zRemove the insects, dried grass, etc. clog-ging the radiator core.zCheck the inside of the vehicle. If waterentry is found, dry the carpet etc.zInspect the headlamps, If the headlampbulb is flooded with water, we recom-mend you to have it drained.
WA R N I N GzDo not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive vehi-cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim-its to the system and ability to maintaincontrol and traction.
Reckless driving may
lead to accidents. Always drive carefully,taking account of the road conditions.zImproperly operating this vehicle on oroff-pavement can cause an accident orrollover in which you and your passengerscould be seriously injured or killed.•Follow all instructions and guidelines inthe owner’s manual.•Keep your speed low and do not drivefaster than conditions.NOTE
zDriving on rough roads can be hard on avehicle. Before you leave the pavement, besure all scheduled maintenance and servicehas been done, and that
you have inspected

The brake assist system
is a device assisting
drivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly such as in emergency stop situationsand provides greater braking force.If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, thebrakes will be applied with more force thanusual.
NOTE
zThe hill start assist is activated when all ofthe following conditions are met.•The Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operat-ing.(The hill start assist will not be activatedwhile the Plug-in Hybrid EV System isstarting or immediately after the Plug-inHybrid EV System is started.)• The select position is in any position otherthan “P” or “N”.•The vehicle is completely stationary, withthe brake pedal depressed.• The parking brake is released.zThe hill start assist will not operate if theaccelerator pedal is depressed before thebrake pedal is released.zThe hill start assist also operates whenreversing on an uphill slope.
Warn in g di s p lay
CAUTIONzIf the warning is displayed, the hill startassist will not operate. Start off carefully.zPark your vehicle in a safe place and stop thePlug-in Hybrid EV System.Restart the Plug-in Hybrid EV System andcheck whether the disp
lay/indicator goes out,
in which case the hill start assist is againworking normally.If they remain displayed or reappear fre-quently, it is not necessa
ry to stop the vehicle
immediately, but the vehicle should beinspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Poin
t as soon as possible.
Brake assist system
CAUTIONzThe brake assist system is not a devicedesigned to exercise braking force greaterthan its capacity. Make sure to always keep asufficient distance be
tween vehicles in front
of you without relying too much on the brakeassist system.NOTE
zOnce the brake assist system is operational,it maintains great braking force even if thebrake pedal is lightly released.To s t o p i t s o p e r a t i o n , c o m p l e t e l y r e m o v eyour foot from the brake pedal.zWhen the brake assist system is in use whiledriving, you may feel as if the depressedbrake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in smallmotions in conjunction
with the operation
noise, or the vehicle body and the steeringwheel vibrate. This occurs when the brakeassist system is ope
rating normally and does
not indicate faulty operation. Continue todepress the brake pedal.zYo u m a y h e a r a n o p e r a t i o n n o i s e w h e n t h ebrake pedal is depressed suddenly while sta-tionary.

E00626001073
This is a device that reduces the possibility ofrear end collisions by the rapid and automaticblinking of the hazard warning lamps to alertvehicles approaching from behind duringsudden braking. When the emergency stopsignal system operates, the hazard warningindicator lamp in the instrument clusterblinks rapidly at the same time.

Environmental conditions can have an effecton braking. During sudden braking whenthere is snow, ice, oil, water etc. on the roadsurface, a skid may occur. In this situation,steering control and braking effectiveness isreduced and the stopping distance isincreased. The vehicle may also go into anuncontrolled spin.The ABS helps prevent the wheels from lock-ing during braking, thus maintaining direc-
tional stability, ensuring controllability andproviding optimum braking force.zAlways maintain the same distance fromthe vehicle in front of you as you wouldfor a vehicle not equipped with ABS.Compared with vehicles not fitted withABS, your vehicle may require a longerstopping distance in the following cases:•Driving on gravel or snow-coveredroads.• Driving with snow traction device (tyrechains) installed.•Driving on roads where the road surfaceis pitted or has other differences in sur-face height.• Driving on bumpy roads or other poordriving surfaces.
zOperation of ABS is not restricted to situ-ations where brakes are applied suddenly.This system may also operate to preventwheel lock when you are driving overmanholes, steel road-work plates, or thevehicle is driven over steps or level differ-ences in the road, road markings, or othersurfaces which are difficult for the wheelsto grip.
