CAUTIONzIf a vehicle is driven without releasing theparking brake, the brake will be overheated,resulting in ineffectiv
e braking and possible
brake failure.If this warning is displayed, release the park-ing brake.CAUTIONzIf this warning stays illuminated and doesnot go out while driving, there is a danger ofineffective braking. If this happens, immedi-ately park your vehicle in a safe place andwe recommend you to have it checked.
zIf the brake warning disp
lay is displayed and
the brake warning lamp and the ABS warn-ing lamp are illuminated at the same time,the braking force dist
ribution function will
not operate, so the vehicle may be destabi-lised during sudden braking. Avoid suddenbraking and high-speed driving, stop thevehicle in a safe place, and we recommendyou to have it checked.zThe vehicle should be brought to a halt in thefollowing manner when brake performancehas deteriorated.•Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.Even if the brake pe
dal moves down to the
very end of its possible stroke, keep itpressed down hard.• Should the brakes fail, use regenerativebrake to reduce your speed and carefullypull the parking brake lever.Depress the brake pedal to operate the stoplamp to alert the vehicles behind you.

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.

5. Add coolant to the radiator and/or reservetank if necessary. (Refer to the “Mainte-nance” section.)6. Examine the radiator hoses for coolantleakage and the drive belt for looseness ordamage.If there is anything wrong with the cool-ing system or drive belt, we recommendyou to have it checked and repaired.

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.
