If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight by 10 % of the gross combination weight for
every increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as
the engine output is lowered owing to de-
crease in atmospheric pressure.

Operating hints
l Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration. It is also recommended that you obey the local regulations in case driving speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro-ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a
blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.
CAUTIONl If the engine overheats, reference should be
made to “Engine overheating” section of
“For emergencies” prior to taking any cor- rective action.
Trailer towing
7-98OGGE16E1Starting and driving7
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.
Emergency starting
9-03OGGE16E1For emergencies9
[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.

WARNINGlIf it is necessary to do work in the engine
compartment with the plug-in hybrid EV
system starting, be especially careful that
your clothing, hair, etc., does not become caught by the cooling fans, drive belts, orother moving parts.
l The cooling fans can turn on automatical-
ly even if the plug-in hybrid EV system is
stopping. Put the operation mode of the
power switch in OFF to be safe while you work in the engine compartment.
l Make sure that the engine and Plug-in
Hybrid EV system has cooled down be- fore removing the radiator cap and EV
cooling system reserve tank cap, because hot steam or boiling water will otherwise
gush from the filler port and may scald you.
l Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames around fuel or auxiliary battery.
The fumes are flammable.
l Be extremely cautious when working
around the auxiliary battery. It contains
poisonous and corrosive sulphuric acid.
l Do not get under your vehicle with just
the body jack supporting it. Always use automotive jack stands.
l Improper handling of components and
materials used in the vehicle can endangeryour personal safety. We recommend you to consult a specialist for necessary infor-
mation.WARNINGl The components inside the engine room
might be very hot to the touch.
To avoid being burnt, make sure all com- ponents have sufficiently cooled before beginning an inspection. These compo-
nents are affixed with the label indicating precautions for handling. Follow the in-structions on the label.

Catalytic converter
E01000202495
The exhaust gas scavenging devices used with the catalytic converter are extremely ef- ficient for the reduction of noxious gases.
The catalytic converter is installed in the ex- haust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly
tuned to ensure proper catalyst operation and prevent possible catalyst damage.WARNINGl As with any vehicle, do not park or oper-
ate this vehicle in areas where combusti- ble materials such as dry grass or leaves
can come in contact with a hot exhaust
since a fire could occur.
l Paint should not be applied to the catalyt-
ic converter.NOTEl Use fuel of the type recommended in
“Fuel
selection” on page 2-13.
