engine may automatically start depending on the condition. Heat from the exhaust could
lead to burns.
l Make sure that the plug is inserted all the
way into the 220-240 V AC power supplybefore using an electrical appliance.
l Do not use an electrical appliance in the ve-
hicle which emits heat such as a heater. Heat
damage to interior parts could result.
l Do not connect a malfunctioning electrical
appliance to the 220-240 V AC power sup- ply. Doing so could damage the 220-240 VAC power supply.NOTEl The accessory socket and 220-240 V AC

flashers and/or the warning triangle etc.
Refer to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on page 6-60.
If you need to push your vehicle, put the op-
eration mode of the power switch in ON and put the select position in “N” (NEUTRAL) position.WARNINGl If you are unable to safely assess the vehi-
cle due to vehicle damage, do not touch
the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact emergency services. Advise emergency

If the ready indicator goes out
while driving
Vehicle operation and control are affected if
the ready indicator goes out while driving.
Before moving the vehicle to a safe area, be aware of the following:
l The brake booster may becomes inoper-
ative and the pedal effort will increase.
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.CAUTIONl 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-
ing equipment or the vehicle.NOTEl If the auxiliary battery is disconnected, the
operation mode of the power switch is mem-
orized. When a booster battery is connected
by jumper cables, the operation mode re- turns to the state it had before the auxiliary
battery ran down.
Pay due attention if you do not know the op- eration mode before the auxiliary battery
was fully discharged.
l If the auxiliary battery is fully discharged
with the select position in the “P” (PARK)
position, the select position cannot be changed to other position from the “P”
(PARK) position in some cases. In such a case, the front wheels have been locked.
Therefore, the vehicle cannot be moved.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.

CAUTIONlTake care not to get the jumper cable caught
in the cooling fan or other rotating part in
the engine compartment.NOTEl If the jumper cable is connected to any posi-
tion other than the appointed one, it may
cause damage to the vehicle.
7. Start the engine in the vehicle which has
the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, then start the Plug-in Hy- brid EV system in your vehicle.
8. Check if the ready indicator illuminates.
If the ready indicator does not illumi- nate, contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
9. When the ready indicator illuminates,
disconnect the jumper cables in the re-
verse order of connection.
10. Check if the select position can be shif-
ted to all positions other than the “P” (PARK) position.
11. Have the auxiliary battery inspected by
your nearest MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
CAUTIONl Your vehicle is equipped with an exclusive
auxiliary battery. Even if the battery type is the same, the battery may not be correctly
installed in your vehicle. When replacing the auxiliary battery, request a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point to do
so.Engine overheating
E00800604221
When the engine is overheating, the warningdisplay will appear on the information screen in the multi information display.
Warning display
If this occurs, take the following corrective measures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the
engine compartment.

[If steam does not come from the engine
compartment]
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.

Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in
the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake system, reducing the performance.
WARNINGl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your
skin and will damage painted surfaces. Wipe up any spills immediately.
If brake fluid gets on your hand or in
your eyes, flush immediately with clean water. Follow up with a doctor as necessa-
ry.CAUTIONl Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
l Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex- cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.Auxiliary battery

The condition of the auxiliary battery is very
important for quick starting of the plug-in hy-
brid EV system and proper functioning of the vehicle’s electrical system. Regular inspec- tion is especially important in cold weather.
Be sure to have a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point check the auxiliary battery.WARNINGl Be sure to have a
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point
charge the battery. Do not charge the bat- tery yourself. Flammable gases may leak
and explode.CAUTIONl There is a type of auxiliary battery is not
properly installed in the vehicle, even if thesame specification.
When replacing the auxiliary battery, please
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.NOTEl When the auxiliary battery is removed, the
controlling timer for forcibly starting the en-
gine may be reset.
Since a fuel injection device may cause a clogging if the state where the engine does
not operate continues after reset of the timer,
please press the battery charge switch in or-
der to start the engine. However, when the drive battery is near full charge, even if the
battery charge switch is pressed, the engine
may not start. In that case, press the battery charge switch again after the drive battery
quantity decreases. Refer to “Battery charge
mode switch” on page 7-28.
l When the auxiliary battery is removed, since
the timer control of the MITSUBISHI Re-
mote Control is reset and the drive battery temperature control cannot be used, commu-
nicate the wireless LAN device and your ve-
hicle again.
l When the auxiliary battery is removed, the
timer control of the MITSUBISHI Remote
Control is reset and each function of the MITSUBISHI Remote Control cannot be
used. Also the drive battery cannot be
warmed up.
Communicate the wireless LAN device and your vehicle again.
