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.

All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. We recommend you to have thevehicle checked at regular intervals accordingto the service booklet.The service brake is divided into two brakecircuits. And your vehicle is equipped withpower brakes. If one brake circuit fails, theother is available to stop the vehicle. If yourvehicle should lose the power assist for somereason, the brakes will still work. In these sit-uations, even if the brake pedal moves downto the very end of its possible stroke or resists
being depressed, keep depressing the brakepedal down harder and further than usual;stop driving as soon as possible and have thebrake system repaired.The brake warning lamp illuminates to indi-cate a fault in the braking system. A warningis also displayed on the multi information dis-play. Refer to “Brake warning lamp” and“Brake warning display” on page 6-37, 6-39.Check the brake system while driving at alow speed immediately after starting, espe-cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv-ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, orafter the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, drythe brakes out by driving slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal.
zIf the AVAS OFF switch is continuouslypressed after the AVAS is turned off, theincorrect operation prevention functionworks and then the system returns to turningon.
Braking
CAUTIONzAv o i d d r i v i n g h a b i t s t h a t c a u s e h e a v y b r a k -ing and never “ride” the brakes by restingyour foot on the brake pedal while driving.It causes brake overheating and fade.
Brake system
NOTE
WA R N I N GzDo not turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EVSystem while your vehicle is in motion. Ifyou turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys-tem while driving, the power assistancefor the braking system will stop workingand your brakes will not work effectively.zIf the power assist is lost or if either brakehydraulic system stops working properly,have your vehicle checked immediately.
Warn i ng d is p l a y When brakes are wet
When driving downhill
WA R N I N GzDo not leave any obje
cts near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it;doing so could prevent the full pedalstroke that would be necessary in anemergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe operated freely at all times. Make surethe floor mat is securely held in place.CAUTIONzPut the selector lever to “B” position accord-ing to the grade of a slope or the speed in along downward slope, and use the regenera-tive brake together. If you depress the brake pedal and slowingdown is repeated frequently, the foot brakemay be overheated and effectiveness mayworsen.

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.

zWhen the ABS is activated, you may feelthe brake pedal pulsation and the vibra-tions of the vehicle body and steeringwheel. You may also hear a characteristicnoise. At this time, you may feel as if thepedal attempts to resist being depressed.This is a normal result of the ABS opera-tion, and does not indicate a problem.If this situation occurs, depress thebrake pedal more firmly in order tooperate the ABS. Do not pump thebrake. This will result in reduced brak-ing performance.zYo u w i l l h e a r t h e o p e r a t i o n s o u n d o f t h emotor coming from the Plug-in HybridEV System compartment immediatelyfollowing start off after starting the Plug-in Hybrid EV System. If the brake pedalis depressed at that moment, a brake pedalpulsating is felt.This pulsation is due to the self-diagnosisoperation of the ABS and does not indi-cate a malfunction.zThe ABS becomes operative after thevehicle has accelerated to a speed inexcess of about 10 km/h. It stops operat-ing when the vehicle decelerates to aspeed below about 5 km/h.

CAUTIONzEven the ABS cannot prevent the naturallaws of physics from acting on the vehicle. Itcannot for instance avoi
d accidents that may
result from excessive speed on bends or fol-lowing another vehicle
too closely or aqua-
planing. It should remain the driver’s task toobserve safety precau
tions to judge speeds
and brake applications correctly in such con-ditions.zBe sure to use tyres of the same type and sizeon 4 wheels.If tyre types or sizes are mixed, ABS maynot function normally.zNever install a limited slip differential,which is not MITSUBISHI MOTORS GEN-UINE parts, as the
ABS may not function
normally.We recommend you to consult a MITSUBI-SHI MOTORS Authorised Service Point.

WA R N I N GzDo not stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV Systemwhile the vehicle is moving. Stopping thePlug-in Hybrid EV System would makethe steering wheel extremely hard to turn,possibly resulting in an accident.
NOTE
zDuring repeated full-lock turning of thesteering wheel (for example, while you aremanoeuvring the vehicle into a parkingspace), a protection function may be acti-vated to prevent overheating of the powersteering system. This function will make thesteering wheel gradually harder to turn. Inthis event, limit your turning of the steeringwheel for a while. When the system hascooled down, the steering effort will returnto normal.zIf you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-cle is stationary with the headlamps on, theheadlamps may become dim. This behaviouris not abnormal. The headlamps will returnto their original brightness after a shortwhile.
