Regenerative braking
Motion energy is converted into electric ener-
gy using the motor as a power generator.
Then a braking force generates and converted electric energy will be charged to the drive
battery.
l If you lift your foot off the accelerator
pedal during driving, a braking force that
is equivalent to engine braking of a com- bustion engine vehicle will be generated.
Also, if you shift the select position into “B” (BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), ef-
fectiveness of the regenerative braking is getting stronger. Shift the selector lever into “B” (BRAKE) position according to
the driving condition.
l When you depress the brake pedal, the
regenerative braking force may be in-creased.
l If a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid
EV system, or if the ABS and/or the
ASC have been activated, the regenera- tive braking will be restricted. The foot brake will still operate.
l When stronger regenerative braking is
generated, the stop lamps will illuminate even when the brake pedal is not de- pressed.Operation of gasoline engine

l Even when the vehicle is driving in EV
drive mode, it may be automatically
changed to series hybrid mode or paral-
lel hybrid mode in the following cases: • The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• Quick acceleration is applied.
• The air conditioner is operating.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed
hard on an uphill road or expressway.
• In cold weather.
• The vehicle has not been refueled for
a long time.
• The drive battery level is low.
In addition to the above, there are more
cases where EV drive mode is automati-
cally changed to series or parallel hybrid mode.
l Even while the vehicle is stopped, the
engine may automatically be started in the following cases: • The drive battery level is low.
• The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• The air conditioner is used.
• The vehicle has not been used for a
long time.
• The engine has not been operated for a long time.
• Refuelling has not been performed for
a long time.

Pretensioner system
E00405802523
When the operation mode of the power
switch is in ON, if there is a frontal impact or a side impact severe enough to injure the
driver and/or front passenger, the pretension- er system will retract their respective seat
belts instantaneously, thus maximizing the seat belt’s effectiveness.
WARNINGl To obtain the best results from your pre-
tensioner seat belt, make sure you have adjusted your seat correctly and wear your seat belt properly.CAUTIONl Installation of audio equipment or repairs in
the vicinity of the pretensioner seat belts or
floor console must be performed in line with MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines. It is
important to do so because the work could affect the pretensioner systems.
l If you need to scrap the vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
It is important to do so because unexpected activation of the pretensioner seat belts
could cause injuries.NOTEl The pretensioner seat belts will be activated
if the vehicle suffers a severe impact, even if the seat belts are not worn.
l The pretensioner seat belts are designed to
work only once. After the pretensioner seat
belts have been activated, we recommend you have it replaced by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.SRS warning
E00405900360
The same warning lamp/display is shared by
the SRS airbags and the pretensioner seat
belts.
Refer to “SRS warning lamp/display” on page 5-36.
Force limiter system
E00406000209
In the event of a collision, each force limitersystem will effectively absorb the load ap- plied to the seat belt to minimize the impact
to the passenger.
Child restraint
E00406403507
When transporting children in your vehicle,some type of child restraint system should al-
ways be used according to the size of the child. This is required by law in most coun-
tries.
The regulations concerning driving with chil-
dren in the front seat may differ from country
to country. You are advised to comply with the relevant regulations.WARNINGl When possible, put children in the rear
seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil- dren of all sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat.
l Holding a child in your arms is no substi-
tute for a restraint system. Failure to use
a proper restraint system can result in se- vere or fatal injury to the child.
l Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.
l When attaching a child restraint system
to the rear seat, prevent the front seat- backs from touching the child restraintsystem.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously in-
jured in the event of hard braking or a
collision.
Child restraint
5-15OGGE18E1Seats and seat belts5
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
will deploy if the severity of the impact is above the designed threshold level, compara-ble to a collision at approximately 25 km/h
(16 mph) when impacting straight into a solid
wall that does not move or deform. If the se-
verity of the impact is below the above threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy. However, this
threshold speed will be considerably higher if
the vehicle strikes an object that absorbs the impact by either deforming or moving (for
example, another stationary vehicle, pole or a
guard rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily move you out of position, it is important to always
properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a safe distance from thesteering wheel and instrument panel during
the initial stages of airbag deployment. The
initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fa-tal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your
vehicle are your primary means of protection
in a collision. The SRS airbags are designed to provide additional protection. Therefore,
for your safety and the safety of all occu- pants, be sure to always properly wear your
seat belts.The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag MAY NOT DE- PLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions, thevehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle body’s front area may de-form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy irre-
spective of the deformation and damage to
the vehicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow object
2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a truck
3- Oblique frontal impacts
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to always prop-erly wear your seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag ARE NOT DE- SIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
not designed to deploy in conditions where they cannot typically provide protection to
the occupant.
Such conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Rear end collisions
2- Side collisions
3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wearyour seat belts.

The side airbags and curtainairbags MAY NOT DEPLOY
when...
With certain types of side collisions, the ve- hicle’s body structure is designed to absorb
the shock to help protect the occupants fromharm. (The vehicle body’s side area may de-
form significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy irrespec-tive of the deformation and damage to the ve-
hicle body. Examples of some typical condi- tions are shown in the illustration.
1- Side impacts in an area away from the
passenger compartment
2- Motorcycle or other similar small vehi-
cle collides with the side of vehicle
3- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other
narrow object
4- Oblique side impacts
5- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of side collisions, be sure to always properlywear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain
airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when...
The side airbags and curtain airbags are notdesigned to deploy in conditions where they
cannot usually provide protection to the oc- cupant. Typical conditions are shown in the
illustration.
1- Head-on collisions
2- Rear end collisions
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wearyour seat belts.
WARNINGl The side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and
passenger seat belts in certain side im- pacts. Seat belts should always be wornproperly, and the driver and passenger
should sit well back and upright without
leaning against the window or door.

When there is information to be announced, such as lamp reminder, the buzzer sounds and the screen switches to the displays shown below.
Refer to the appropriate page and take the necessary measures.
When the cause of the warning display is eliminated, the warning display goes out automatically. Refer to “Warning display list” on page 6-23.
Refer to “Navigation information display” on page 6-40. Refer to “Other interrupt displays” on page 6-41.
NOTEl A warning may be displayed on the information screen and the buzzer may sound in the following rare cases.
This is caused by the system picking up interference such as noise or strong electromagnetic waves, and is not a functional problem.
• An extremely strong electromagnetic wave is received from a source such as an illegal radio set, a spark from a wire, or a radar station.
• Abnormal voltage or a static electricity discharge is generated by the operation of installed electrical equipment (including after-market parts).
If the warning display appears many times, we recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
