If the vehicle breaks downE00800102408
If the vehicle breaks down on the road, move it to the shoulder and use the hazard warning
flashers and/or the warning triangle etc.
Refer to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on page 6-52.
If you need to push your vehicle, put the op-
eration mode of the power switch in ON and put the select position in “N” (NEUTRAL) position.WARNINGl If you are unable to safely assess the vehi-
cle due to vehicle damage, do not touch
the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact emergency services. Advise emergency
responders that this is a Plug-in Hybrid Electric vehicle.
If the ready indicator goes out
while driving
Vehicle operation and control are affected if
the ready indicator goes out while driving.
Before moving the vehicle to a safe area, be aware of the following:
l The brake booster may becomes inoper-
ative and the pedal effort will increase.
Press down the brake pedal harder than usual.
l The power steering system may not op-
erate, the steering wheel feels heavy when turning it.Emergency starting
E00800504204
If the Plug-in Hybrid EV system cannot be
started because the auxiliary battery is weak or dead, the battery from another vehicle can
be used with jumper cables to start the Plug-
in Hybrid EV system.
WARNINGl To start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system us-
ing jumper cables from another vehicle
and perform the correct procedures ac-
cording to the instruction below. Incor-
rect procedures could result in a fire, ex- plosion, electric shock or damage to the
vehicles.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may
produce an explosion.CAUTIONl The Plug-in Hybrid EV system cannot be
started by pulling or pushing the vehicle.
l Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can damage both vehicles.CAUTIONl Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size to prevent overheating of the cables.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
l Do not attempt jump starting the auxiliary
battery while the drive battery is being charged. Doing so could damage the charg-
ing equipment or the vehicle.NOTEl If the auxiliary battery is disconnected, the
operation mode of the power switch is mem-
orized. When a booster battery is connected
by jumper cables, the operation mode re- turns to the state before the auxiliary battery
ran down.
Pay due attention if you do not know the op-
eration mode before the auxiliary battery
was fully discharged.
l If the auxiliary battery is fully discharged
with the select position in the “P” (PARK)
position, the select position cannot be changed to other position from the “P”
(PARK) position in some cases. In such a case, the front wheels have been locked.
Therefore, the vehicle cannot be moved.
If the vehicle breaks down

1.Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each ve-
hicle. Set the gear of another vehicle in
“P” (PARK) position (with A/T) or in
“N” (Neutral) position (with M/T) and
stop the engine.WARNINGl When connecting the jumper cable, stop
the engine in the other vehicle. Otherwise, the cables or your clothes may be caught by the fan or drive belt and personal in-
jury could result.
l The cooling fan turns on and off depend-
ing on the coolant temperature. Do not bring your hands close to the fan while
the engine is running or the Plug-in Hy-
brid EV System is operating.
4. Open the bonnet, remove the fuse cover
of the main fuse block.
Refer to “Bonnet” on page 11-04 and
“Fuses: Engine compartment” on page
11-17.
5. Open the cover of the jumper cable ter-
minal in the main fuse block.
NOTEl You cannot rescue another vehicle’s dis-
charged battery by connecting jumper cables
while using this jumper cable terminal.
6. Connect one end of one jumper cable
to the jumper cable terminal (A) of your
vehicle, and the other end
to the posi-
tive (+) terminal of the booster battery (B).
Connect one end of the other jumper ca- ble
to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery, and the other end
to
the designated ground location of your
vehicle.WARNINGl When connecting the jumper cables, do
not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (-) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery.

CAUTIONlTake care not to get the jumper cable caught
in the cooling fan or other rotating part in
the engine compartment.NOTEl If the jumper cable is connected to any posi-
tion other than the appointed one, it may
could cause damage to the vehicle.
7. Start the engine in the vehicle which has
the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, then start the Plug-in Hy- brid EV system in your vehicle.
8. Check that the ready indicator illumi-
nates. If the ready indicator does not il- luminate, contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
9. When the ready indicator illuminates,
disconnect the jumper cables in the re-
verse order of connection.
10. Check that the select position can be
shifted to all positions other than the “P”(PARK) position.
11. Have the auxiliary battery inspected by
your nearest MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
CAUTIONl Your vehicle is equipped with an exclusive
auxiliary battery. Even if the battery type is the same, the battery may not be correctly
installed in your vehicle. When replacing the auxiliary battery, request a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point to do
so.Engine overheating
E00800604058
When the engine is overheating, the informa-tion screen in the multi information display
will be interrupted and the engine coolant
temperature warning display will appear.
If this occurs, take the following corrective measures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the
engine compartment.

[If steam does not come from the engine
compartment]
With the Plug-in Hybrid EV system still starting, raise the bonnet to ventilate the
engine compartment.

[If steam is coming from the engine
compartment]
Stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV system, and
when the steam stops, raise the bonnet to
ventilate the engine compartment. Re-
start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system.WARNINGl Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming from the engine compartment. It could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
l Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
3. Confirm that the cooling fans (A) are
turning.
Engine overheating

[If the cooling fans are turning]
After the high coolant temperature warn-
ing has gone off, stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV system.
[If the cooling fans are not turning]
Stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV system im-
mediately and contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point for
assistance.*: Front of the vehicleWARNINGl Be careful not to get your hands or clothes
caught in the cooling fan.
4. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (B and C).
B: Reserve tank for engine cooling
C: Reserve tank for EV cooling system
5. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary. (Refer to the
“Maintenance” section.)WARNINGl Make sure that the engine and the Plug-in
Hybrid EV system have cooled down be-
fore removing the radiator cap (D) and the reserve tank cap (E), because hotsteam or boiling water will otherwise gush
from the filler port and may scald you.CAUTIONl Do 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.
6. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.
