Regenerative braking
Motion energy is converted into electric ener-
gy using the motor as a power generator.
Then a braking force generates and converted electric energy will be charged to the drive
battery.
l If you lift your foot off the accelerator
pedal during driving, a braking force that
is equivalent to engine braking of a com- bustion engine vehicle will be generated.
Also, if you shift the select position into “B” (BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), ef-
fectiveness of the regenerative braking is getting stronger. Shift the selector lever into “B” (BRAKE) position according to
the driving condition.
l When you depress the brake pedal, the
regenerative braking force may be in-creased.
l If a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid
EV system, or if the ABS and/or the
ASC have been activated, the regenera- tive braking will be restricted. The foot brake will still operate.Operation of gasoline engine

l Even when the vehicle is driving in EV
drive mode, it may be automatically
changed to series hybrid mode or paral-
lel hybrid mode in the following cases: • The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• Quick acceleration is applied.
• The air conditioner is operating.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed
hard on an uphill road or expressway.
• In cold weather.
• The vehicle has not been refueled for
a long time.
• The drive battery level is low.
In addition to the above, there are more
cases where EV drive mode is automati-
cally changed to series or parallel hybrid mode.
l Even while the vehicle is stopped, the
engine may automatically be started in the following cases: • The drive battery level is low.
• The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• The air conditioner is used.
• The vehicle has not been used for a
long time.
• The engine has not been operated for a long time.
• The vehicle has not been refueled for
a long time.Refueling (gasoline)

CAUTIONl If the warning display appears, refuel imme-
diately.
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the engine will not start even in a situation need to be
generated electricity, the following condi- tions will occur.
• The driving performance falls (since only
the electrical power stored in the drive battery can be used for the driving).
• The heating performance is not available
(except vehicles with electric heater).
• The effectiveness of the heater is insuffi-
cient (vehicles with electric heater).
• The catalytic converter may be damaged
due to excessive high temperature.

Stopping the Plug-in HybridEV System
E00620801268
1. Stop your vehicle completely.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly while
depressing the brake pedal.
3. After pressing the electrical parking
switch, press the power switch to stop Plug-in Hybrid EV System. (Refer to
“Electrical Parking switch” on page 7-15.)
WARNINGl Never stop Plug-in Hybrid EV System
during running except in emergency. The effectiveness of the brake becomes very
poor and the steering wheel becomes very
heavy, which can easily lead to an acci- dent.NOTEl Do not operate the power switch during run-
ning except in emergency. If you have tostop Plug-in Hybrid EV System in emergen-cy during running, continue to press the power switch for three seconds or longer or
press the power switch three times or more
quickly. Plug-in Hybrid EV System stops, the operation mode turns to ACC, and the
selector lever position shifts to the “P” posi- tion at very slow speed.NOTEl If you press the power switch when the se-
lector lever position is other than “P” posi-tion while your vehicle is stopped, the selec-
tor lever position automatically shifts to “P”
position, Plug-in Hybrid EV System stops, and the power mode turns to “OFF”.
l If the parking lock mechanism is faulty, a
warning is displayed on the information
screen in the multi-information display. When this warning is displayed, Plug-in Hy-
brid EV System cannot be stopped unless you apply the parking brake and then press the power switch. Park on a flat place with
the parking brake securely applied. Have your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.If the keyless operation key is

Regenerative braking level
selector (paddle)* E00636700047
Regenerative braking level selector (paddle)
can quickly change the regenerative brake force while keeping your hand on the steering
wheel when you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal while driving.
By pulling the regenerative braking level se-
lector, the brake force (amount of electricalenergy to charge the drive battery) can be ad-
justed according to the driving condition such as before a curve or a downhill.
The regenerative braking level can be switch- ed in 6 levels from B0 (small regenerative
braking force) to B5 (large regenerative brak- ing force).CAUTIONl If a large regenerative brake force is applied
on a slippery road, tyres may skid. Always
drive safely in accordance with the prevail- ing road condition.
l If you operate the right and left paddles si-
multaneously, the regenerative brake force
level may not change.NOTEl Repeated continuous operation of a paddle
will continuously change the brake forcelevels.
l If you turn on the cruise control when the
level B0 or B1 (smaller regenerative brake
force) is selected, the level is returned to the
normal level B2 automatically.
l Under the cruise control, the level B0 or B1
cannot be selected. The buzzer sounds if you
try to select these levels.
l On vehicles with the adaptive cruise control
system (ACC), you cannot control the regen- erative brake force level while the adaptive
cruise control system (ACC) is operating. The buzzer sounds if you operate the pad-
dles.

4-wheel drive operation
E007606602083
Your vehicle has been designed primarily foruse on paved roads.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar lo-
cations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow- covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions.

system (TPMS) E00637100110
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
uses tyre inflation pressure sensors (A) on the wheels to monitor the tyre inflation pressures.
The system only indicates when a tyre is sig-
nificantly under-inflated.
The base tyre pressure can be set at desired value by the driver with the reset function ex-
ecution. (The low pressure warning threshold is set based on the reset.)
The tyre inflation pressure sensor IDs for two sets of tyres can be registered by aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point, and the valid ID set can be switched by the multi-information display switch. (It’s
beneficial in case of seasonal tyre change be-
tween summer tyre and winter tyre.)NOTEl The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) is not a substitute for regularlychecking tyre inflation pressures.
Be sure to check the tyre inflation pressures as described in “Tyres” on page 11-10.
l The tyre inflation pressure sensor (B) is in-
stalled in the illustrated location.
Replace grommet and washer (C) with a
new one when the tyre is replaced.
