•Open the windows, doors and tailgate.•Put the operation mode in OFF.•Turn on the hazard warning flashers.• Move the key away from the vehicle toprevent unintended start-up of the sys-tem by inadvertent contact with a switchor impact from the crash.
zNever touch high-voltage wiring, connec-tors, and other high-vol
tage parts, such as
the inverter unit and drive battery. Anelectric shock may occur if exposed elec-tric wires are visible when viewed frominside or outside of
your vehicle. For their
locations, see “High-
voltage components”
on page 2-7. zIf the vehicle receives a strong impact tothe floor while driving, stop the vehicle ina safe place and
check the floor.
zNever start the plug-in hybrid EV systemif you found the leak
of a liquid (except
water of the air conditioner) while check-ing the outside of the vehicle because thereis possibility the fuel system has beendamaged and causing of fire or exploding.In such case, immediately contact yourMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Ser-vice Point.WA R N I N G
zLeaks or damage to the drive battery mayresult in a fire. If you discover them, con-tact emergency services immediately.Since the fluid leak may be lithium man-ganite from the Lithium-ion battery, nevertouch any fluid leaking from the inside oroutside of the vehicle. If the fluid contactsyour skin or eyes, wash
it off immediately
with a large amount of water and receiveimmediate medical attention to help avoidserious injury. zIf you are unable to safely assess the vehi-cle due to vehicle damage, do not touchthe vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contactemergency services. Advise emergencyresponders that this is a Plug-in Hybridvehicle. zIf a fire occurs in this vehicle, leave thevehicle as soon as possible and contactemergency services. Do not attempt toextinguish a fire by yourself. If the fireinvolves a lithium-ion battery, it willrequire large, sustained volumes of waterfor extinguishment. Using a small amountof water or the incorrect fire extinguishercan result in serious injury or death fromelectrical shock. zWhen you leave the vehicle, if possible,open the windows, doors and tailgate toprevent accumulation of poisonous/com-bustible gasses. This will
also assist in the
rescue and fire fighting process.WA R N I N G
zAs with any vehicle fire, the byproducts ofcombustion can be toxic. Do not inhalesmoke, vapors, or gas from the vehicle.Move to a safe distance upwind and uphillfrom the vehicle fire and out of the way ofany oncoming traffic while awaiting thearrival of emergency responders. zIf you detect leaking fluids, sparks, smoke,flames, gurgling, popping or hissing noisesoriginating from the high voltage batterycompartment, contact emergency servicesimmediately. This may result in a fire. zPhysical damage to the vehicle or highvoltage battery may result in immediate ordelayed release of toxic and/or flammablegases and fire. zIf your vehicle needs to be towed, trans-port the vehicle on a
flatbed truck or tow
the vehicle with all wheels off the ground.If the any wheels are on the ground whentowing, this may cause damage to the elec-tric motors. This may also cause a fire, ifwiring in the electric motor unit roombecomes damaged. Refer to “Towing” onpage 9-19. zDo not attempt to repair a damaged Plug-in Hybrid vehicle by yourself. Please con-tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-ised Service Point for service.WA R N I N G

WA R N I N G zWhen cleaning, be sure to remove thecharging cable plug and the normalcharge connector from the outlet. Do notconnect or disconnect the plug and theconnector with wet hand. Doing so couldcause an electric shock. zDo not expose the metal terminal of thenormal charge connect
or or the charging
cable plug to water or neutral detergent.Using in wet with water could cause a fireor an electric shock.CAUTION zNever use benzine, petr
ol, or other organic
solvents, or acid or alkaline solvents. Doingso could cause deform
ation, discolour, or
malfunction. Also, these substances may bepresent in various cleaners, so check care-fully before using.

WA R N I N G zFor safety, do not allow children or peoplewho are not familiar with charging tocharge for themselves. Also, do not use thenormal charge connector within reach ofchildren. zPersons who use electro-medical appara-tus such as implantable cardiac pace-maker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator must check effect fromcharging with the manufacturer of elec-tro-medical apparatus. Electro-medicalapparatus operations could be affected bycharging. zIf you use any medica
l electric devices, be
careful the following precautions.•Keep away from the charge connector orcontrol box.•Do not stay inside of the vehicle.•Do not get on inside of the vehicle, forexample to remove or place an item inthe passenger compartment.•Do not open the rear hatch, for exampleto remove or place an item in the cargoarea.Charging may affect the operation of elec-tric medical devices and result in seriouspersonal inju
ry or death.
zDo not charge when the EV chargingcable is coiled up.Doing so the cable may be heated andresulting in a fire. zBefore charging, make sure that there isno foreign matter such as dust at the nor-mal charge port and the normal chargeconnector.At this time, do not touch the normalcharge port. zWhen foreign substances, such as dust,have entered, please contact a MITSUBI-SHI MOTORS Authorised Service Point. zWhen the normal charge connector is con-nected to the charge port, prevent foreignmatter such as water or dust from enter-ing in the connection.Connection with foreign matter such aswater or dust may cause a fire or an elec-tric shock. Do not perform charging ifthere is possibility of strong exposure towater at the connection. zWhen you deal with
charge apparatus, be
careful of the following points. It couldcause a fire, an electric shock and a shortcircuit.•Never pull the cable to remove the plug.•Never submerge the EV charging con-nector, control box, or plug in water.
zPlease observe the following in order toprevent accidents during charging such aselectrocution.WA R N I N G

•Due to the characteristics of radio waves,communication speed tends to decrease asthe communication distance increases. Useyour wireless LAN devi
ce at a short dis-
tance from the vehicle for better response.•When a microwave oven or ISM (indus-trial, scientific and medical) equipment isbeing used, the communication speed andrange of wireless
LAN devices may
decrease. Use your wireless LAN deviceaway from these appliances and equipment.•If a wireless LAN de
vice and Bluetooth

zSome charging facilities have a timer func-tion that turns the power on or off at a spe-cific time of the day. When charging at afacility with a timer function, make sure thatthe charging timer is set within the timeperiod when the power in the charging facil-ity is on.NOTE
zThe auxiliary battery is automatically andperiodically charged using electrical powerstored in the drive battery. zWhile the remote climate control is operatingor the charging, the cooling fan or air condi-tioner compressor may start operating and itssound may be heard.
This is normal.
zThe remote climate control operates in itsown mode based on the mode selected on thewireless LAN device,
regardless of the
switch setting of the vehicle’s air condi-tioner. zAir conditioning perform
