l Since the demister requires a significant
amount of power, stop the demister as soonas the window is demisted. Using it for along time may reduce the auxiliary battery
voltage, making it impossible to start the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
l When the rear window demister switch is

ON, OFF.
CAUTIONl When the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is not
operating, put the operation mode in OFF.
Leaving the operation mode in ON or ACC for a long time when the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System is not operating may cause the auxil- iary battery to discharge, making it impossi-
ble to start the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
l When the auxiliary battery is disconnected,
the current operation mode is memorized. After reconnecting the auxiliary battery, thememorized mode is selected automatically.
Before disconnecting the auxiliary battery
for repair or replacement, make sure to put the operation mode in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which opera-
tion mode the vehicle is in when the auxili-
ary battery is run down.
l The operation mode cannot be changed from
OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless operation key is not detected to be in the vehicle. Refer
to “Keyless operation system: operating
range for starting the Plug-in Hybrid EV System and changing the operation mode”on page 4-09.ACC power auto-cutout func-
tion

CAUTIONlAny of the following warning lamp/display
behaviour indicates that the ABS is not func-tioning and only the standard brake system
is working. (The standard brake system is functioning normally.) If this happens, takeyour vehicle to a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
• When the operation mode is put in ON,

l Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv-
ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the Plug-in Hybrid EV System and check to see whether the lamp goes
out after a few minutes driving; if it then remains off during driving, there is no
problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it lights up again when the vehicle is driven, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
l If you start Plug-in Hybrid EV System
when the auxiliary battery voltage is in-
sufficient, ABS warning lamp/display may illuminate, but this is not a failure
of ABS. When the drive battery is charg-
ed, the auxiliary battery is also charged, and the warning lamp/display will go
out. If the warning lamp/display contin- ues illuminating even after the battery is
sufficiently charged or the warning
lamp/display illuminates frequently, have your vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
