CAUTION•The sensors are extremely hot or cold
(while the vehicle is parked for a long pe- riod of time under a blazing sun or in coldweather).
• The vehicle tilts significantly.
• The vehicle is driven on a rough road
(with a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy
surface).
• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.
• Immediately after Plug-in Hybrid EV
System starting.
l The reversing sensor system may not proper-
ly detect the following objects:
• Objects that are thin, such as wire nets or
ropes.
• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as
snow.
• Objects that are shaped with a sharp an-
gle.
• Objects with a smooth surface, such as
glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerbstones.
l If the bumper has been exposed to an im-
pact, the sensors may fail and prevent thesystem from functioning properly. Have the
vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.NOTEl The buzzer may sound lower than the nor-
mal warning sound when the reversing sen-sor system is receiving ultrasonic noise from
other sources, but this is not a malfunction.
The buzzer will stop sounding and the sys- tem will return to normal operation after thenoise is no longer received.To operate

Reversing sensor system warn-ing display
E00615901519
In case there is a malfunction in the reversing
sensor system, the display for the malfunc-
tioning sensor will blink and the warning buzzer will sound for approximately 5 sec-
onds.
Even after the buzzer and display has stopped
warning, the indication lamp (A) on “SO- NAR” switch will continue blinking until the
system reverts to the normal state. Have the vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.Parking sensors (Front/
Rear)* E00647700092
When parking in a garage or during parallelparking, these sensors alert the driver to any objects near the vehicle and their distance,
through a buzzer and the sensor display on the information screen in the multi-informa-
tion display.
CAUTIONl The parking sensors assist you in determin-
ing the approximate distance between the
vehicle and any objects. It has limitations in terms of detectable areas and objects, and
may not properly detect some objects. Therefore, do not place excessive confidence
in the parking sensors, and operate the vehi-
cle as carefully as you would do with vehicle not equipped with this system.
l Make sure to check the surroundings with
your own eyes to ensure safety. Do not oper-
ate the vehicle by relying on the parking sen-
sors alone.Obstacle detection areas
E00647800136
The detection areas of the corner and back
sensors are limited to those shown in the il-
lustration. Moreover, the sensors are unable to detect low or thin objects or objects nearthe front or rear bumper. Thus, make sure to check the surroundings as you operate the ve-
hicle in a safe manner.

Corner and back sensor loca-tions
There are 8 sensors (A) in the front and rearbumper.
Detection areas
Depending on whether the vehicle is equip-
ped with a towing bar, you can change the parking sensors between the standard modeand the towing bar mode. The towing bar
mode changes the system to exclude the area in which the towing bar is mounted from the
detection areas.
Vehicles without a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately
60 cm (A) from the front and corner sensors
and 125 cm (B) from the back sensors.
Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately 60 cm (A) from the front and corner sensors
and 125 cm (B) from the back sensors. The
non-detection areas (C) are within approxi- mately 20 cm (D) from the bumper.
NOTEl The sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper. If the height of an object is lower than the
mounted position of the sensors, the sensors
may not continue detecting it even if they detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detec-
tion areas, please refer to “Changing the de- tection areas” on page 7-97.

NOTElThere is an interior air temperature sensor (A) in the illustrated position.
Never place anything on top of the sensor, since doing so will prevent it from functioning properly.
l While the EV priority mode is activated, except when pressing the demister switch, the engine does not start.
Therefore, if your vehicle is not equipped with the electric heater, the heating performance cannot be obtained while the EV priority mode is activated.
Also, if your vehicle is equipped with the electric heater, the heating performance may not be sufficiently obtained while the EV priority mode is activated. In such case, cancel the EV priority mode. Refer to “EV switch” on page 7-25.
l Since the air conditioning operation is controlled while the ECO mode is operating, you may feel that effectiveness of the air conditioner is weak.
Also, on vehicles without electric heater, the heating performance cannot be obtained while the ECO mode is operating since engine starting is controlled. In such case, cancel ECO mode. Refer to “ECO mode switch” on page 6-62.
l Even if the ECO mode is operating, you can select normal operation of the air conditioner.
On vehicles equipped with the Smartphone Link Display Audio or the MITSUBISHI Multi-Communication System (MMCS), screen operations can be used
to change the setting. Refer to the separate owner’s manual for details.
l In extreme cold, the air conditioning control panel screen may operate sluggishly. This does not indicate a problem.
It will disappear when the vehicle interior temperature rises to a normal temperature.
