6.Remove the cap (E) on the normal
charge connector (F) and make sure that
there is no foreign matter such as dust at
the end of the normal charge connector and the normal charge port.
7. Connect the normal charge connector
until a click sound is heard without pressing the button (G).
CAUTIONl Do not clasp the top of normal charge con-
nector. It could cause injury to touch the protrusion on the charging lid.NOTEl If the operating mode of the power switch is
ON with the EV charging cable remains
connected to the normal charge port, the
plug-in hybrid EV system does not turn ON.
l Do not connect or disconnect the normal
charge connector repeatedly in a short peri- od. Charging may not be started.
l If you want to turn the operation mode to
“OFF” after “ACC” or “ON” position in or-
der to use the electrical device such as audio
during charging, make sure that the select position is in “P”, press the power switch toturn “OFF” without depressing the brakepedal.8. Make sure that the charging indicator
(H) on the instrument cluster is illumina-
ted.
If the charging indicator is not illumina-
ted, charging has not started.
Make sure that the normal charge port
and the plug are correctly connected, and
perform charging from Step 5 again.

2.Turn off electrical equipment such as
lamps and put the operation mode of the power switch in OFF.
3. After unlocking the charging lid by us-
ing the central door locks, keyless entry
system or keyless operation function, push the rear portion of the charging lid
(A) until it clicks, and open the charging lid.
4. Press the tab (B) to open the inner lid
(C).
WARNINGl Do not leave the inner lid open for a long
time.
It could cause an electric leak, a fire or an electric shock by water or dust entering
into the quick charge port.
l Do not touch the metal terminal of the
quick charge port (D) and the quick
charge connector.
Doing so could cause an electric shock and/or malfunction.CAUTIONl Be sure to insert the quick charge connector
straight into the quick charge port right up to
the base.
Failure to do so may result in the drive bat- tery not charging or could cause damage to the charging equipment.CAUTIONl During quick charging, the quick charge
connector cannot be removed because it is locked. Do not touch or remove the quick
charge connector during charging. Doing so, the quick charge connector might be dam-
aged. If you want to stop the quick charging
on the way, stop the charging according to
the procedures of a quick charger, and re- move the quick charge connector after con-
firming the charging is stopped.NOTEl There is a hole on the charge port for water
drainage. If this hole is blocked and watergets trapped in the charge port, do not
charge. Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
l If the charge port is frozen, melt the ice us-
ing a hair drier. Forcing the charge connec-
tor to connect while frozen could result in malfunction.
5. Connect the quick charge connector in
the quick charge port to begin charging.
For connecting and disconnecting, fol- low the instruction manual for each
quick charger.
6. Make sure that the charging indicator
(E) on the instrument cluster is illumina-
ted.

This warning is displayed if you drive withthe parking brake still applied. The warning lamp in the instrument cluster only illumi-
nates when the parking brake is applied.
CAUTIONl If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possiblebrake failure.
If this warning is displayed, release the park-
ing brake.
Information screen display
6-46OGGE16E1Instruments and controls6
When the operation mode of the power
switch is put in ON, if the brake fluid is low,
this warning is displayed.
The warning lamp in the instrument cluster also illuminates.CAUTIONl If this warning stays illuminated and does
not go out while driving, there is a danger of ineffective braking. In this case, immediate-
ly park your vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked.
l If the brake warning display is displayed and
the brake warning lamp and the ABS warn- ing lamp are illuminated at the same time,
the braking force distribution function will
not operate, so the vehicle may be destabi- lised during sudden braking. Avoid sudden
braking and high-speed driving, stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place, and we recommend you to have it checked.
l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake perform-
ance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down to
the very end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use regenerative
brake to reduce your speed and carefully
pull the parking brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.Oil pressure warning display

NOTElWhen the brake assist system is in use, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal issoft, the pedal moves in small motions inconjunction with the sound of the ABS oper- ation, or the vehicle body and the steering
wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
firmly depress the brake pedal.
l You may hear an operation noise when the
brake pedal is depressed suddenly while sta-
tionary. This does not indicate a malfunction
and the brake assist system is operating nor- mally.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp or the Active Stability Control warning lamp illuminate, the brake assist system is
not functioning.Emergency stop signal
system E00626001060
This is a device that reduces the possibility ofrear end collisions by the rapid and automatic blinking of the hazard warning lamps to alert
vehicles approaching from behind during sudden braking. When the emergency stop
signal system operates, the hazard warning indication lamp in the instrument cluster
blinks rapidly at the same time.
CAUTIONl If the ABS warning or ASC warning is dis-
played, the emergency stop signal system may not operate. Refer to “ABS warning lamp/display” on page 7-29.
Refer to “ASC warning display” on page
7-34.NOTEl [Activating condition for the emergency stop
signal system]
It activates when all of the following condi-
tions are met.
• The vehicle speed is approximately
55 km/h (34 mph) or higher.
• The brake pedal has been depressed, and
the system judges that it was sudden brak- ing from the vehicle deceleration and theoperating condition of the anti-lock brake
system (ABS).
[Deactivating condition for the emergency
stop signal system]
It deactivates when one of the following conditions is met.
• The brake pedal is released.
• The hazard warning flasher switch is
pressed.
• The system judges that it was not sudden
braking from the vehicle deceleration and
the operating condition of the anti-lock
brake system (ABS).Anti-lock brake system
(ABS) E00607102489
Environmental conditions can have an effect
on braking. During sudden braking when there is snow, ice, oil, water etc. on the road
surface, a skid may occur. In this situation, steering control and braking effectiveness is
reduced and the stopping distance is in-
creased. The vehicle may also go into an un- controlled spin.
The ABS helps prevent the wheels from lock-
ing during braking, thus maintaining direc-
tional stability, ensuring controllability and
providing optimum braking force.
Operating hints
l Always maintain the same distance from
the vehicle in front of you as you would for a vehicle not equipped with ABS.
Compared with vehicles not fitted with ABS, your vehicle may require a longer
stopping distance in the following cases: • Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving with snow traction device
(tyre chains) installed.
• Driving on roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has other differences in surface height.
