E00502602938
This lamp is a part of an on-
board diagnostic system
which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system. If a problem is detected in one of these systems, this
lamp illuminates or flashes.
Although your vehicle will usually be driva-
ble and not need towing, we recommend you
to have the system checked as soon as possi- ble.
This lamp will also illuminate when the oper-
ation mode of the power switch is put in ON,
and goes off after the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System has started. If it does not go off after the Plug-in Hybrid EV System has started,
we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
CAUTIONl Prolonged driving with this lamp on may
cause further damage to the emission control
system. It could also affect fuel economy and drivability.
l If the lamp does not illuminate when the op-
eration mode is put in ON, we recommend
you to have the system checked.CAUTIONl If the lamp illuminates while the Plug-in Hy-
brid EV System is operating, avoid driving
at high speeds and have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point as soon as possible.NOTEl The engine electronic control module ac-
commodating the onboard diagnostic system has various fault data (especially about the
exhaust emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a auxiliary battery
cable is disconnected which will make a rap- id diagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect a
auxiliary battery cable when the check engine
warning lamp is ON.

Economical drivingE00600102220
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting and acceleration
Avoid driving when the accelerator pedal ispushed way down, such as for unnecessarily sudden starts, acceleration and deceleration.
Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal.
Observe the speed limit and keep the speed
as constant as possible while driving.
Idling
Parking for a long period with the ready indi-
cator illuminated will shorten the cruising
range.
Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more drive
battery is consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of drive battery.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al- so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Air conditioning
Too much cooling/heating can affect the cruising range, so maintain an appropriatetemperature to extend the cruising range.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously im- paired even with blood alcohol levels far be-
low the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or
use public transportation. Drinking coffee or
taking a cold shower will not make you so- ber.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and re- action time. Consult with your doctor or
pharmacist before driving while under the in- fluence of any of these medications.WARNINGl NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired.Safe driving techniques
E00600301775
Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we recom- mend that you pay extra attention to the fol-
lowing:
Economical driving

Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that
you and your passengers have fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats
WARNINGl Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suita-
ble for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping out of position, securely retain them usingthe hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal
or laying one floor mat on top of another can obstruct pedal operation and lead to a
serious accident.Carrying children in the vehi-
cle
l Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key and children inside the ve-hicle. Children may play with the driv-
ing controls and this could lead to an ac- cident.
l Make sure that infants and small chil-
dren are properly restrained in accord-
ance with the laws and regulations, and
for maximum protection in case of an accident.
l Prevent children from playing in the lug-
gage compartment. It is quite dangerous
to allow them to play there while the ve- hicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to load above the height of seats. This is dangerous
not only because rearward vision will be ob- structed, but also the luggage may be projec-ted into the passenger compartment underhard braking.
Parking brake
E00600501722
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-plete stop, fully apply the parking brake suf-
ficiently to hold the vehicle.
To apply
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal, then pull the lever up without pushing
the button at the end of hand grip.
CAUTIONl When you intend to apply the parking brake,
firmly press the brake pedal to bring the ve-hicle to a complete stop before pulling theparking brake lever.
Pulling the parking brake lever with the ve-
hicle moving could make the rear wheels lock up, thereby making the vehicle unsta-
ble. It could also make the parking brake malfunction.NOTEl Apply sufficient force to the parking brake
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the foot brake is released.
Parking brake

released, the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi informa-tion display and a buzzer sound when the ve-
hicle speed exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph).
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possible
brake failure.Warning lampWarning display
l If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is fully re-
leased, the brake system may be abnormal.

NOTElYour vehicle is equipped with an electronic
immobilizer.
To start the Plug-in Hybrid EV System, the ID code which the transponder inside the
key sends, must match the one registered in the immobilizer computer. Refer to “Elec-
tronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting sys-
tem)” on page 4-03.Changing the operation mode
E00631901041
If you press the power switch without de-
pressing the brake pedal, you can change the
operation mode in the order of OFF, ACC,
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
E00632801034
After about 30 minutes has elapsed with the operation mode in ACC, the function auto-
matically cuts out the power for the audio system and other electric devices that can be
operated with that position.
When the power switch operates again, the
power is supplied again.NOTEl It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• The time until the power cuts out can be
changed to approximately 60 minutes.
• The ACC power auto-cutout function can
be deactivated.
