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)
E00203800031
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.

mended fuel
Except for vehicles for Russia
Unleaded petrol octane number (EN228)
95 RON or higher
Vehicles for Russia
Unleaded petrol octane number
(EN228)
98 RON or higher
Vehicles for Russia, this vehicle’s engine is designed to provide satisfactory performance
by using unleaded petrol octane number 98
RON or higher. In order to maintain engine
performance and exhaust system durability, use unleaded petrol octane number 98 ron or
higher.
CAUTIONl The use of leaded fuel can result in serious
damage to the engine and catalytic convert- er. Do not use leaded fuel.NOTEl Vehicles for Russia, if less than unleaded
petrol 98 RON is used, it may be negatively
influenced to the catalytic converters.
Use unleaded petrol 98 RON or higher ex- cept for in case emergency that is not availa- ble the unleaded petrol 98 RON or higher on
journey etc.
l Poor quality petrol can cause problems such
as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise and hesitation. If you experience these prob-lems, try another brand and/or grade of pet-
rol.
If the check engine warning lamp flashes,
have the system checked as soon as possible
at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
E10 type petrol
The petrol engine are compatible with E10
type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) con- forming to European standards EN 228.
CAUTIONl Do not use more than 10 % concentration of
ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use of more than 10 % concentration may
lead to damage to your vehicle fuel system,
engine, engine sensors and exhaust system.Filling the fuel tank
E00200204191WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and filling stations.
l Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You could be burned or seriously in-
jured when handling it. When refueling
your vehicle, always put the operation mode of the power switch in OFF and
keep away from flames, sparks, and
smoking materials. Always handle fuel in wellventilated outdoor areas.
l Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of the car or fuel pump. Any static electricity on your body
could create a spark that ignites fuel va- pour.
l Perform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-
ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not let any other person come near the fuel
tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you and that person was carrying static electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited.
l Do not perform charging and refueling at
the same time. If you charged with static
electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited by the discharge spark.

Fuel remaining warning display
E00522402075
When the fuel is reduced to about 7 litres, the
information screen switches to the interruptdisplay of the fuel remaining warning dis-
play, and the “
” mark (B) on the fuel re-
maining display flashes slowly (about once
per second). After a few seconds, the infor- mation screen returns from the fuel remain-
ing warning display to the previous screen.
If the remaining fuel level is reduced further, the information screen switches to the fuel re-
maining warning display and the “
” mark
(B) on the fuel remaining display flashes
quickly (about twice per second).
CAUTIONl If the warning display appears, refuel as
soon as possible.CAUTIONIf the vehicle runs out of fuel, the enginewill 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
