ERA-GLONASS*E00804800063
ERA-GLONASS is a system designed to re- duce the severity of accidents. The location
and vehicle information is transmitted from
the system to the emergency call centre in
case of an accident or sudden illness, and the emergency call centre arranges for despatch
of emergency vehicles as required.WARNINGl If an emergency occurs and you notice a
fuel smell or bad smell, do not stay insidethe vehicle and escape to a safe place im-
mediately.
l While waiting for the rescue after the
emergency call, take action to prevent sec-
ondary accidents such as a rear end colli- sion with the following vehicle, and escapeto a safe place.
l If the system fails because of a collision,
etc. the system does not operate. In this case, directly arrange an emergency vehi-
cle or road service with a cellular phone, etc.WARNINGl In a place where radio waves cannot be
transmitted and received, you cannot call
the emergency call centre. (for example,
indoor, a basement parking area, a moun-
tainous area, inside a tunnel, etc.)
In addition, if the line to the emergency call centre is busy, it may be difficult to
call the emergency call centre even in a place where you can transmit and receive
radio waves. In this case, directly arrange
an emergency vehicle or road service with
a cellular phone, etc.NOTEl This system reports to the emergency call
centre, but does not directly arrange anemergency vehicle or pass to the road serv-
ice.
l This system helps to maken an emergency
call for a traffic accident or sudden illness,
but does not have a function to protect the occupants.Flow of the emergency call

This can cause failure of contact or equip- ment, and the system may not operate
normally.
l Do not replace the speakers. If they are
replaced, the buzzer sound or the voice of the operator at the emergency call centre
may not be audible. If the speakers need
to be replaced due to a failure etc., we rec- ommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
1. After setting the operation mode of the
power switch to “ON”, the red lamp (A)
and the green lamp (B) illuminate for ap-
proximately 10 seconds. When approxi-
mately 10 seconds have elapsed after the lamps extinguish, the system is in the
standby state.
WARNINGl If the red lamp and/or the green lamp do
not illuminate after setting the operation
madoe to "ON", there is a possible failure in the system. have the system insepcted by a Mitsubishi Motors Authorised Serv-
ice Point immediately.WARNINGl If the red lamp remains illuminated or il-
luminates again after approximately 20
seconds have elapsed after setting the op-
eration mode to “ON”, there is a possible failure in the system or the battery for ex-
clusive use of the ERA-GLONASS may be
exhausted. The battery life is approxi- mately 3 years.
Have the system inspected or the battery replaced by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point immediately.
l When the system is not in the standby
state, the system does not operate. When you drive, make sure to check that thesystem is in the standby state.
2. The system operates as follows.

2.After setting the operation mode to
“ON”, perform Steps 3 and 4 within 10
seconds.
3. Release your finger from the SOS
switch.
4. Press the SOS switch 3 or more times.
5. After approximately 10 seconds from
Step 2, the red lamp and the green lampextinguish. After that, the buzzer sounds
3 times.NOTEl If the buzzer does not sound, repeat the
process from Step 1.
6. Approximately 60 seconds later, the
green lamp blinks. If you press the SOS switch within 20 seconds, the mode
changes to the test mode.
NOTEl When the red lamp blinks instead of the
green lamp, move the vehicle in a safe place, with good visibility, where radio waves can
be transmitted and received, then repeat the process from Step 1.
7. Within approximately 20 seconds after
the mode has changed to the test mode,
press the SOS switch for one of the fol-
lowing periods to select the desired test
type.
l 10 seconds or more: Report test to the
emergency call centre
l Less than 10 seconds: Test of the
ERAGLONASS system equipment of the vehicleNOTEl If you do not press the SOS switch within
approximately 20 seconds, the test modeends.
l If you drive a certain distance in the test
mode, the test mode ends.
Report test to the emergency
call centre
1. The green lamp illuminates, and the re-
port test to the emergency call centre is
started.
NOTEl If the red lamp illuminates for approximately
60 seconds, the vehicle is in a place where radio waves cannot be transmitted and re-ceived. Therefore you cannot report to the emergency call centre.
2. When the green lamp extinguishes, the
test mode is completed.
Test of the ERA-GLONASS
system equipment of the vehicle
1. After the buzzer sounds once, press the
SOS switch.
[Lamp Check]

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.
l 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-
