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.CAUTION• Should the brakes fail, use the regenera-
tive brake to reduce your speed and keep
pulling the Electric parking brake switch.

Economical drivingE00600102422
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting and acceleration
Avoid driving when the accelerator pedal ispressed way down, such as for unnecessarily sudden starts, acceleration and deceleration.
Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal.
Observe the speed limit and keep the speed
as constant as possible while driving.
Idling
Parking for a long period with the ready indi-
cator illuminated will shorten the cruising
range.
Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more drive
battery is consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of drive battery.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al- so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Air conditioning
Too much cooling/heating can affect the cruising range, so maintain an appropriatetemperature to extend the cruising range.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously im- paired even with blood alcohol levels far be-
low the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or
use public transportation. Drinking coffee or
taking a cold shower will not make you so- ber.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and re- action time. Consult with your doctor or
pharmacist before driving while under the in- fluence of any of these medications.WARNINGl NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired.Safe driving techniques

to “Electric parking brake warning light (yellow)” on page 6-50.
When parking your vehicle while the Elec-
tric parking brake warning lamp (yellow) is illuminated, park the vehicle on level and stable ground, put the select position to “P”(PARK) and place chocks, blocks, stones be-
hind and in front of the tyres to prevent the vehicle from moving.Parking
E00600602818
To park the vehicle, firmly apply the parkingbrake, and then press the electrical parking
switch to lock the wheels.
Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, follow
these procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb and move the vehicle forward until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb.
Apply the parking brake and press the electri-
cal parking switch.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking on an uphill slope
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb
and move the vehicle back until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb.
Apply the parking brake and press the electri-
cal parking switch.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking with the engine run- ning
Never leave the engine running while you
take a short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly ventila-
ted place.

7-06OGGE17E1Starting and driving7

NOTElDriving on rough roads can be hard on a ve-
hicle. Before you leave paved roads, be sure all scheduled maintenance and service has
been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to the condi- tion of the tyres, and check the tyre pres-
sures.
l MITSUBISHI
MOTORS is not responsible
for any damage or injury caused or liability
incurred by improper and negligent opera- tion of a vehicle by the operator. All techni-
ques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other par- ticipating parties. Any deviation from the
recommended operating instructions above is at their own risk.
l Note that the stopping distance required of a
4-wheel drive vehicle differs very little from
that of a 2-wheel drive vehicle. When driv- ing on a snow-covered road or a slippery,muddy surface, make sure that you keep a
sufficient distance between your vehicle and
the one ahead of you.
l The driving posture should be more upright;
adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wear
the seat belt.
l After driving on rough roads, check each
part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughlywith water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera-
tion” section and “Maintenance” section.NOTEl When moving out of mud, sand or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not
allow the Plug-in Hybrid EV system output to increase. In such situations, switching to
“4WD LOCK” with the 4WD lock switch and temporarily turning off the Active Sta- bility Control (ASC) with the “ASC OFF”
switch will make it easier to move out your vehicle.
Refer to “Operation under adverse driving
conditions: If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow” on page 9-26.
Climbing/descending sharp
grades
Your vehicle may not provide sufficient hill
climbing ability and regenerative brake on steep slope. Avoid driving on steep slopes
even though the vehicle is a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Inspection and maintenance
following rough roadoperation E00606701407
After operating the vehicle in rough road
conditions, be sure to perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures:
l Check that the vehicle has not been dam-
aged by rocks, gravel, etc.
l Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal in order to dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do
not function properly, we recommend you to have the brakes checked as soon
as possible.
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core.
l Check the inside of the vehicle. If water
entry is found, dry the carpet etc.
l Inspect the headlamps. If the headlamp
bulb is flooded with water, we recom-
mend you to have it drained.Cautions on handling of 4-
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.

BrakingE00607002967
All the parts of the brake system are critical
to safety. We recommend you to have the ve- hicle checked at regular intervals according
to the service booklet.CAUTIONl Avoid driving habits that cause heavy brak-
ing and never “ride” the brakes by resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.
Brake system
The service brake is divided into two brake
circuits. And your vehicle is equipped with
power brakes. If one brake circuit fails, the other is available to stop the vehicle. If you
should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. In these situations,
even if the brake pedal moves down to the very end of its possible stroke or resists being
depressed, keep depressing the brake pedal
down harder and further than usual; stop
driving as soon as possible and have the brake system repaired.
WARNINGl Do not turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System while your vehicle is in motion. If
you turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys- tem while driving, the power assistancefor the braking system will stop working
and your brakes will not work effectively.
l If the power assist is lost or if either brake
hydraulic system stops working properly,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
Warning display
The brake warning lamp illuminates to indi-
cate a fault in the braking system. A warning
is also displayed on the multi information display. Refer to "Brake warning lamp" and "Brake warning display" 6-50, 6-52.
When brakes are wet
Check the brake system while driving at a
low speed immediately after starting, espe- cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm
they work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake discs and prevent normal braking after driv-
ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry
the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal.
When driving downhillWARNINGl Do not leave any objects near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; do- ing so could prevent the full pedal stroke
that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times. Make sure that thefloor mat is securely held in place.CAUTIONl Put the selector lever to “B” position accord-
ing to the grade of a slope or the speed in along downward slope, and use the regenera-
tive brake together.
If you depress the brake pedal and slowing down is repeated frequently, the foot brake
may be overheated and effectiveness may worsen.

Brake assist systemE00627001793
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly when it is necessary to do so (such as
in emergency stop situations) and provides
greater braking force.

If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.CAUTIONl The brake assist system is not a device de-
signed to exercise braking force greater than its capacity. Make sure to always keep a suf-
ficient distance between your vehicle and a
vehicle in front of you without relying too much on the brake assist system.NOTEl Once the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.NOTEl When 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 only Active Stability Control warn- ing lamp illuminate, the brake assist system
in 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 7-38.
Refer to “ASC warning display” on page
7-42.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).
