applied. Have your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l If you press the electrical parking switch be-
fore your vehicle stops completely, the vehi- cle makes a sudden stop, which may cause
injury to passengers. This also can be a cause of failure of the vehicle.
l Do not place an object around the electrical
parking switch. The electrical parking switch
may be pressed by the object when you
place it there or when you somehow touch it. This will cause unintentional shifting to “P” or “N” position, which may lead to an acci-
dent.
CAUTIONl Be careful not to spill beverages, etc. around
the electrical parking switch. The electrical
parking switch may be stuck to the pressed
position when it is pressed.NOTEl When the selector lever is shifted from the
“P” position or to the “P” position, operatingnoise and vibration of the parking lock are felt, but this is normal.

force) is selected, the level is returned to the
normal level B2 automatically.
l When stronger regenerative braking is gen-
erated, the stop lamps will illuminate even when the brake pedal is not depressed.
l Under the cruise control, the level B0 or B1
cannot be selected. The buzzer sounds if you
try to select these levels.
l On vehicles with the adaptive cruise control
system (ACC), you cannot control the regen- erative brake force level while the adaptive
cruise control system (ACC) is operating. The buzzer sounds if you operate the pad-
dles.To decrease regenerative brake
