Operate the selector lever slowly and securelyin the following method.˙ (home position) to “D” or “R”: Simply shiftthe lever.˙ (home position) to “N”: Shift and hold at“N” position for a while.˙ (home position) to “B”: You can shift theselector lever to “B” only when the selectposition is in “D” position.When shifted from
˙ (home position) to “B”,
the regenerative brake force will increase byone step.When shifted to “B” once again, the regener-ative brake force will become the maximum.When you shift the selector lever to “D”, theselect position returns to “D”.
The selector lever always returns to its homeposition when it is released.

NOTE
zIf you operate the select lever to (B) twicetoo quickly, the regenerative brake force maynot become the maximum.WA R N I N GzDo not replace the selector lever knobother than MITSUBISHI MOTORS genu-ine part. In addition, do not hang anobject on the selector
lever as it may be a
cause of an accident.zWhen you shift the selector lever to “D” or“R” position, always
depress the brake
pedal with your right foot for your safety.Never shift the lever while depressing theaccelerator pedal. Doing so will start yourvehicle abruptly, which
may lead to a seri-
ous accident. It may also be a cause of fail-ure of vehicle.NOTE

When you park your vehicle, be sure to applythe parking brake and press the electricalparking switch to lock the wheels. The indi-cator on the switch illuminates in green andthe select position indicator displays “P” onthe information screen in the meter.
If the driver’s door is opened with the selectposition other than “P” when the vehicle is ata stop, the buzzer sounds to warn to press theelectrical parking switch.
WA R N I N GzSudden Regenerative brake may cause thetyres to skid.Select this position
according to the road
conditions and vehicle speed.
Electrical Parking switch
CAUTIONzIf you operate the electrical parking switchand the select lever repeatedly within a shorttime, the shifting from the “P” position or tothe “P” position is restrained for a certainperiod for the system protection. In such acase, wait for a while and then perform theoperation.zIf the parking lock mechanism is faulty, awarning is displayed on the informationscreen in the multi-information display.When this warning is displayed, park on aflat place with the parking brake securelyapplied. Have your ve
hicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized ServicePoint.
zIf you press the electrical parking switchbefore your vehicle stops completely, thevehicle makes a sudden stop, which maycause injury to passengers. This also can be acause of failure of the vehicle.zDo not place a object around the electricalparking switch. The electrical parking switchmay be pressed by the object when you placeit there or when you somehow touch it. Thiswill cause unintentional shifting to “P” or“N” position, which may lead to an accident.zBe careful not to spill beverages, etc. aroundthe electrical parking switch. The electricalparking switch may be stuck to the pressedposition when it is pressed.NOTE
zWhen the selector lever is shifted from the“P” position or to the “P” position, operatingnoise and vibration of the parking lock arefelt, but this is normal.

Regenerative braking level selector (paddle)can quickly change the regenerative brake force keeping your hand on the steeringwheel when you release your foot from theaccelerator pedal while driving.By pulling the regenerative braking levelselector, the brake force (amount of electricalenergy to charge the drive battery) can beadjusted according to the driving conditionsuch as before curve or a downhill.Regenerative braking level can be switched inthe 6 level from B0 (small regenerative brak-ing force) to B5 (large regenerative brakingforce).
Each time you pull the + (UP) paddle towardyou, the regenerative brake force lowers byone level.

S-AWC is an integrated vehicle dynamicscontrol system that helps enhance drivingperformance, cornering performance, andvehicle stability over a wide range of drivingconditions through integrated management ofthe twin motor 4WD, the AYC (Active YawControl), the ABS and the ASC.
This system improves vehicle stability perfor-mance and fuel economy performance duringacceleration and deceleration by motors pro-vided at front and rear wheels, respectively,controlling the distribution of a drive forcebetween the front and rear wheels optimal forthe operation of the driver.
E00622801044
The AYC is a system, with a left-right differ-ential limiting function and yaw control func-tion, that controls the left-rightdriving/braking force by managing the brake.

This sys-tem, like any other system, has limits andcannot help you to maintain traction and con-trol of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reck-less driving can lead to accidents. It is thedriver’s responsibility to drive carefully.This means taking into account the traffic,road and environmental conditions.

The left-right differential limiting function isa function that enhances driving performanceand vehicle stability by preventing idle spin-ning of a wheel when driving on slipperyroad or when the road surfaces of left andright wheels are different.The yaw control function is a function thatenhances vehicle cornering performance andvehicle stability with management of vehicleturning power (yaw moment) by controllingthe braking force when the vehicle does notturn in response to steering input, such aswhen the steering wheel is turned quickly orwhen driving on slippery road.
E00637000021
If the 4WD lock switch is pressed when thepower mode is “ON”, it will switch to “4WDLOCK.” It can use from a low-speed to high-speedoperation, and the driving stability improveson a wet road surface or a snowy road, etc. If the 4WD lock switch is pressed once again,it will return to “NORMAL.”. When the 4WD LOCK mode is activated, theabove display appears on the informationscreen in the multi-information display forsome seconds.

You should try to avoid drivingon steep slopes.Also, you must exercise caution when drivingon sand and mud and when driving throughwater because sufficient traction may not beavailable in certain circumstances.Please avoid driving the vehicle through areaswhere the tyres may get stuck in deep sand ormud.

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
your vehicle. Pay special attention to thecondition of the tyres, and check the tyrepressures.zMITSUBISHI MOTORS
is not responsible
to the operator for any damage or injurycaused or liability incurred by improper andnegligent operation of a vehicle. All tech-niques of vehicle operation depend on theskill and experience of the operator and otherparticipating parties.
Any deviation from the
recommended operating instructions aboveis at their own risk.
zNote that the stopping
distance required of
the 4-wheel drive vehicle differs very littlefrom that of the 2-wheel
drive vehicle. When
driving on a snow-covered
road or a slippery,
muddy surface, make sure that you keep asufficient distance between your vehicle andthe one ahead of you.zThe driving posture s
hould be more upright;
adjust the seat to a good position for easysteering and pedal operati
on. Be sure to wear
the seat belt.zAfter driving on rough roads, check eachpart of the vehicle and wash it thoroughlywith water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera-tion” section and “Maintenance” sections.
