Installation of accessoriesE00200302361
We recommend you to consult your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.CAUTIONl Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnosis
connector for checking and servicing theelectronic control system.
Do not connect a device other than a diagno-
sis tool for inspections and service to this connector. Otherwise, the auxiliary battery
could be discharged, the electronic devices
of the vehicle could malfunction, or other unexpected problems could result.
In addition, malfunctions caused by connect-
ing a device other than a diagnosis tool may not be covered under warranty.
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 When installing the radio, for the re-
quired information (frequency, transmis-
sion output, installing procedure), con- sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
If the frequency, transmission output and installing condition are not appropriate,
it can adversely affect the electronic de- vices and could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
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 the
overall 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 through the 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.
Consider also that there basically exists no li- ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi-
cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or
installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS au-
thorized Service Point ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE replacement parts and
MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories). The
same also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the
production specifications. For safety reasons, do not attempt any modifications other than
those that follow the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS authorized Service
Point.

CAUTIONlControl of the braking force does not en-
hance the stopping performance of the vehi-
cle, therefore, pay careful attention to the safety of your surroundings when driving.
Left-right differential limiting
function
The left-right differential limiting function is
a function that enhances driving performance and vehicle stability by preventing idle spin-
ning of a wheel when driving on a slippery road or when the road surfaces of left andright wheels are different.
Yaw control function
The yaw control function is a function thatenhances vehicle cornering performance and vehicle stability with management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controlling the brake force when the vehicle does not
turn in response to steering input, such as
when the steering wheel is turned quickly or when driving on a slippery road.

E00637000063
If the 4WD lock switch is pressed when the
power mode is “ON”, it will switch to “4WD LOCK.”
It can be used from a low-speed to high-
speed operation, and the driving stability im- proves on a wet road surface or a snowyroad, etc.
If the 4WD lock switch is pressed once again, it will return to “NORMAL”.
When the 4WD LOCK mode is activated, the
following display appears on the information
screen in the multi-information display for a few seconds.

lInstall 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 different size, 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 to oil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.TowingCAUTIONl 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-
hicleWARNINGl 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.EV switch
E00653000029
To drive the vehicle without starting the en-
gine as much as possible, the EV priority mode can be used.
This mode helps to drive the vehicle at a place needed for concern of noises and ex-
haust gas emissions, such as residential areas etc.
To switch to the EV priority mode, press the
EV switch with operation mode of the power switch in ON.
If the EV switch is pressed, you can drive the vehicle by using only the EV drive mode as much as possible, even if the accelerator ped-
al is roughly depressed.

Anti-lock brake system(ABS) E00607102489
Environmental conditions can have an effect
on braking. During sudden braking when there is snow, ice, oil, water etc. on the road
surface, a skid may occur. In this situation, steering control and braking effectiveness is
reduced and the stopping distance is in-
creased. The vehicle may also go into an un- controlled spin.
The ABS helps prevent the wheels from lock-
ing during braking, thus maintaining direc-
tional stability, ensuring controllability and
providing optimum braking force.
Operating hints
l Always maintain the same distance from
the vehicle in front of you as you would for a vehicle not equipped with ABS.
Compared with vehicles not fitted with ABS, your vehicle may require a longer
stopping distance in the following cases: • Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
• Driving with snow traction device
(tyre chains) installed.
• Driving on roads where the road sur-
face is pitted or has other differences in surface height.
• 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 tooperate 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.

NOTElIf you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlamps on, the headlamps may become dim. This behaviour
is not abnormal. The headlamps will return to their original brightness after a shortwhile.

If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning display will appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi information display.
CAUTIONl If the warning display appears while the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operating,
have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.
It may become harder to turn the steering wheel.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. 7-37
Traction control function ® p. 7-41
Stability control function ® p. 7-41CAUTIONl 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.

NOTElIn addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.
Each tyre, including the spare (if so equip-
ped), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the tyre inflation pressure label. (If your vehiclehas tyres of a different size than the size indi-
cated on the tyre inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tyre inflationpressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with the tyre pressure moni- toring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tyre pressure telltale when one or more of
your tyres is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure tell- tale illuminates, you should stop and checkyour tyres as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig- nificantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre
to overheat and can lead to tyre failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is not a substitute for proper
tyre maintenance, and it is the driver’s re- sponsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure,even if under-inflation has not reached thelevel to trigger illumination of the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) low tyre
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a warning lamp to indicate when the system is
not operating properly.
The warning lamp is combined with the low
tyre pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one mi- nute and then remain continuously illumina- ted. This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists.
When the warning lamp is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended.The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of replace- ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehi-cle that prevent the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) from functioning properly.
Always check the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) malfunction telltale after re-
placing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or al- ternate tyres and wheels allow the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) to continue to function properly.If the warning lamp/display il-
luminates while driving

1. If the warning lamp illuminates, avoid
hard braking, sharp steering manoeuvres
and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tyres to the proper inflationpressure as soon as possible. Adjust the spare tyre at the same time. Refer to
“Tyres” on page 11-10.
