Installation of accessories
E00200302143
We recommend you to consult your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
l The installation of accessories, optional
parts, etc., should only be carried out
within the limits prescribed by law in your country, and in accordance with the
guidelines and warnings contained with-
in the documents accompanying this ve- hicle.
l Installing electric components incorrect-
ly could lead to a fire. Refer to the “Modification/alterations to the electri-
cal or fuel systems” section within this
owner’s manual.
l Using a cellular phone or radio set inside
the vehicle without an external antenna
may cause electrical system interference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle oper-ation.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and re-
placement parts of different manufactures
available in the market, it is not possible, not only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS , but also
for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point, to check whether the attach- ment or installation of such parts affects theoverall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially author-
ized, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or throughthe execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the driving
safety of your vehicles has not been affected.

4-wheel drive operation
E007606602083
Your vehicle has been designed primarily foruse on paved roads.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar lo-
cations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow- covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions.

wheel drive vehicles E00606801844
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the driving performance of the ve- hicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install only the specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 12-08.
l Be sure all 4 tyres and wheels are the
same size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of
the tyres or wheels, replace all 4 tyres.
l All tyres should be rotated before the
wear difference between the front and
rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expec- ted if there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page 11-11.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres of differentsize, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-
crease the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driving sys-
tem. Further, the drive train will be subjec- ted to excessive loading possibly leading tooil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.
Towing
CAUTIONl Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing. If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type
C or Type D equipment.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive ve-
hicle
WARNINGl Do not turn on the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System or turn a jacked-up wheel whenthe vehicle is jacked up. The tyre in con-
tact with the ground may turn and the ve- hicle may come off the jack, possibly lead-
ing to an accident. Besides, do not touch
the high-voltage area.Battery save switch
E00636800051
The remaining quantity of the drive battery
can be kept if you drive in the EV driving mode at a residential area or use electric
power at the destination.
Moreover, the electric power consumption of
the drive battery can also be held down by
pressing the battery save switch while high- speed driving.
Cautions on handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles
7-21OGGE16E1Starting and driving7
•Driving on bumpy roads or other poor
driving surfaces.
l Operation of ABS is not restricted to sit-
uations where brakes are applied sud- denly. This system may also operate to
prevent wheel lock when you are driving
over manholes, steel road-work plates, or the vehicle is driven over steps or lev-
el differences in the road, road markings,
or other surfaces which are difficult for
the wheels to grip.
l When the ABS is activated, you may
feel the brake pedal pulsation and the vi-
brations of the vehicle body and steering
wheel. You may also hear a characteris-
tic noise. At this time, you may feel as if the pedal attempts to resist being de-pressed.
This is a normal result of the ABS oper- ation, and does not indicate a problem.
If this situation occurs, depress the
brake pedal more firmly in order to operate the ABS. Do not pump the brake. This will result in reduced braking performance.l You will hear the operation sound of the
motor coming from the Plug-in Hybrid EV System compartment immediately
following start off after starting the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System. If the brake pedal is depressed at that moment, you
can feel the brake pedal pulsating.
This pulsation is due to the self-diagno- sis operation of the ABS and does not
indicate a malfunction.
l The ABS will operate after the vehicle
has accelerated to a speed in excess of approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops
operating when the vehicle decelerates
to a speed below about 5 km/h (3 mph).CAUTIONl Even the ABS cannot prevent the natural
laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. Itcannot for instance avoid accidents that may
result from excessive speed on bends or fol- lowing another vehicle too closely or aqua-
planing. It should remain the driver’s task to observe safety precautions to judge speeds and brake applications correctly in such con-
ditions.
l Be sure to use tyres of the same type and
size on 4 wheels.
If tyre types or sizes are mixed, ABS may not function normally.CAUTIONl Never install a limited-slip differential,
which is not MITSUBISHI MOTORS GEN-
UINE parts, as the ABS may not function
normally.
We recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.ABS warning lamp/display
E00607202321
Warning lampWarning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, the
ABS warning lamp will come on and the
warning display will appear on the informa- tion screen in the multi information display.
Under normal conditions, the ABS warning
lamp only comes on when the operation
mode is put in ON and goes off a few sec- onds later.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Active stability control
(ASC) E00616701468
The Active Stability Control (ASC) takes
overall control of the anti-lock brake system, traction control function and stability control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s con-
trol and traction. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on the anti-lock
brake system, traction control function and stability control function.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 7-28
Traction control function ® p. 7-32
Stability control function ® p. 7-32CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle.
This system, like any other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstan- ces. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive care-
fully. This means taking into account the traffic, road and environmental conditions.
l Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not work properly.CAUTIONl Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.NOTEl An operation noise may be emitted from the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System compartment in
the following situations. The sound is asso- ciated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this time, you may feel a shock
from the brake pedal if you depress it. These
do not indicate a malfunction.
• When the operation mode is put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is
turned on.
l When the ASC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys- tem compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active.Traction control function
E00619000087
On slippery surfaces, the traction control
function prevents the drive wheels from ex-
cessive spinning, thus helping the vehicle to
start moving from a stopped condition. It also
provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle turns while press-
ing the acceleration pedal.
CAUTIONl When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy
road, be sure to install snow tyres and drive
the vehicle at moderate speeds.Stability control function
E00619101098
The stability control function is designed to
help the driver maintain control of the vehicle
on slippery roads or during rapid steering ma-
noeuvres. It works by controlling the Plugin
Hybrid EV System output and the brake on
each wheel.
NOTEl The stability control function operates at
speeds of about 15 km/h (9 mph) or higher.

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.
