Operating hints
lBe sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration. It is also recommended that you obey the local regulations in case driving speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro-ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a
blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.
CAUTIONl If the engine overheats, reference should be
made to “Engine overheating” section of
“For emergencies” prior to taking any cor- rective action.Parking
It is not recommended to park on a steep
slope while towing trailer.
If parking on a steep slope cannot be avoided,
the road grade should be less than 12% and
the following procedure performed. 1. Apply the parking brake firmly on the
vehicle and the trailer (if fitted).
2. Put the select position in “P”.
3. Place chocks or blocks at the tyres on
both vehicle and trailer.
4. Turn the front wheels into the shoulder
of the road to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Driving on long up hills while towing trailer
When the remaining quantity of the drive bat-tery is low, or high-speed driving on long up
hills at high temperature, the drive battery
output is restricted and the vehicle speed may be decreased.
The vehicle speed may be recovered if the
drive battery quantity is recovered.
NOTEl In charge mode, if the remaining quantity of
the drive battery can be increased in ad-
vance, it can prevent the vehicle speed from
decreasing on long up hills.
Refer to “Battery charge mode switch” on page 7-28.

You can run the air conditioner in advance of using the vehicle.
For details, refer to “MITSUBISHI Remote
control: Remote Climate Control” on page 3-24.Heating
E00733901062
When heating, the engine starts running be-
cause the heating system uses the heat of en-
gine coolant.
On vehicles with electric heater, it can de-
crease the number of times engine starting because electrical power stored in the drive battery is also used when heating.
NOTEl If you want to stop the engine running for
heating, select the EV priority mode before operating the air conditioner. Refer to “EV
switch” on page 7-25.LW/MW/FM radio/CD

With the Plug-in Hybrid EV system still
starting, raise the bonnet to ventilate the
engine compartment.

[If steam is coming from the engine
compartment]
Stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV system, and when the steam stops, raise the bonnet to
ventilate the engine compartment. Re- start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system.WARNINGl Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming from the engine compartment. It could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
l Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
3. Confirm that the cooling fans (A) are
turning.
[If the cooling fans are turning]
After the high coolant temperature warn- ing has gone off, stop the Plug-in Hybrid

4.Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (B and C).
B: Reserve tank for engine cooling
C: Reserve tank for EV cooling system
5. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary. (Refer to the
“Maintenance” section.)
WARNINGl Make sure that the engine and the Plug-in
Hybrid EV system have cooled down be- fore removing the radiator cap (D) and
the reserve tank cap (E), because hot steam or boiling water will otherwise gush from the filler port and may scald you.CAUTIONl Do not add coolant while the engine is hot.
Suddenly adding cold coolant could damage the engine. Wait for the engine to cool
down, then add coolant a little at a time.
6. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.
