Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that
you and your passengers have fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats
WARNINGl Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suita-
ble for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping out of position, securely retain them usingthe hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal
or laying one floor mat on top of another can obstruct pedal operation and lead to a
serious accident.Carrying children in the vehi-
cle
l Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key and children inside the ve-hicle. Children may play with the driv-
ing controls and this could lead to an ac- cident.
l Make sure that infants and small chil-
dren are properly restrained in accord-
ance with the laws and regulations, and
for maximum protection in case of an accident.
l Prevent children from playing in the lug-
gage compartment. It is quite dangerous
to allow them to play there while the ve- hicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to load above the height of seats. This is dangerous
not only because rearward vision will be ob- structed, but also the luggage may be projec-ted into the passenger compartment underhard braking.

System is not operating may cause the auxil- iary battery to discharge, making it impossi-
ble to start the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
l When the auxiliary battery is disconnected,
the current operation mode is memorized. After reconnecting the auxiliary battery, thememorized mode is selected automatically.
Before disconnecting the auxiliary battery
for repair or replacement, make sure to put the operation mode in OFF.

Selector lever (Joystick
type) E00636100096Selector lever operation
E00636200097
The selector lever always returns to its home
( ● ) position when it is released.
The position you select with the selector lev- er will be illuminated on the shift position
panel shown in the illustration below.
Move the selector lever slowly and securely
in the following method.
l To select “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (RE-
VERSE):
Move the selector lever in the direction of the arrow.
l To select “N” (NEUTRAL):
Move the selector lever in the direction
of the arrow and hold it for a while.
l To select “B” (REGENERATIVE
BRAKE):
Move the selector lever in the direction
of the arrow.
The “B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE) posi-
tion can only be selected while the select po- sition is in the “D” (DRIVE) position. Whenthe selector lever is moved to the “B” posi-
tion, the regenerative brake force will be- come stronger.
When the selector lever is again moved to the
“B” position, the maximum regenerative brake force will be used.
To return to the “D” position, use the selector
lever to select the “D” position.NOTEl If you operate the selector lever to “B” twice
too quickly, the regenerative brake force
may not become the maximum.WARNINGl Do not replace the selector lever knob
with anything other than a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine part. In addition, do
not hang an object on the selector lever as it may be the cause of an accident.
l When you shift the selector lever to “D”
or “R” position, always depress the brake
pedal with your right foot for your safety. Never shift the lever while depressing the
accelerator pedal. Doing so will start your vehicle abruptly, which may lead to a seri-ous accident. It may also be a cause of
failure of the vehicle.
