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.

Stopping the Plug-in HybridEV System
E00620801457
1. Stop your vehicle completely.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly while
depressing the brake pedal.
3. After pressing the electrical parking
switch, press the power switch to stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV System. (Refer to“Electrical Parking switch” on page
7-18.)
WARNINGl Never stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV System
during running except in an emergency. The effectiveness of the brake becomes
very poor and the steering wheel becomes very heavy, which can easily lead to an ac-
cident.NOTEl Do not operate the power switch during run-
ning except in an emergency. If you have to stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV System becauseof an emergency during operation, continue to press the power switch for three seconds
or longer or press the power switch three times or more quickly. The Plug-in Hybrid
EV System stops, the operation mode turns to ACC, and the selector lever position shifts
to the “P” position at very slow speed.NOTEl If you press the power switch when the se-
lector lever position is other than the “P” po-
sition while your vehicle is stopped, the se- lector lever position automatically shifts to
the “P” position, Plug-in Hybrid EV System stops, and the power mode turns to “OFF”.
l If the parking lock mechanism is faulty, a
warning is displayed on the information
screen in the multi-information display. When this warning is displayed, the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System cannot be stopped unless
you apply the parking brake and then press the power switch. Park on a flat place with
the parking brake securely applied. Have your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.If the keyless operation key is
not operating properly
E00632901237
Insert the keyless operation key into the key
slot. Starting the Plug-in Hybrid EV System and changing the operation mode should be now possible.
Remove the keyless operation key from the
key slot after starting the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System or changing the operation mode.NOTEl Do not insert into the key slot anything other
than the keyless operation key. This couldcause damage or a malfunction.
l Remove the object or additional key from
the the keyless operation key before insert-ing the key into the key slot. The vehicle
may not be able to receive the registered ID
code from the registered key. Therefore, the Plug-in Hybrid EV System may not start and
the operation mode may not change.
l The keyless operation key is fixed in the key
slot when inserted in the illustrated direc- tion. Simply pull out the key to remove it
from the key slot.

CAUTIONlIf you operate the electrical parking switch
and the select lever repeatedly within a short
time, the shifting from the “P” position or to the “P” position is restrained for a certainperiod for the system protection. In such a
case, wait for a while and then perform the operation.
l If the parking lock mechanism is faulty, a
warning is displayed on the information
screen in the multi-information display.
When this warning is displayed, park on a flat place with the parking brake securely
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.

• When the windscreen of the sensor por-
tion is covered with dirt, water droplets,
snow and ice, etc.
• When water, snow or sand on the road are
extorted by the vehicle in front or an on- coming vehicle.CAUTIONl The FCM may not detect a pedestrian in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:
• It the pedestrian is shorter than approxi-
mately 1 m or taller than approximately 2 m.
• If the pedestrian is wearing loose-fitting
clothes.
• If part of a pedestrian’s body is hidden,
such as when holding an umbrella, large
bag, etc.
• If a pedestrian bends forward, sits or lies
on the road.
• When a pedestrian is pushing/pulling
something, such as a stroller, bicycle or
wheelchair.
• When pedestrians gather in a group.
• When a pedestrian’s clothing appears to
be nearly the same colour or brightness as
its surroundings.
• When a pedestrian is very close to an ob-
ject, such as a vehicle.
• When a pedestrian is in a dark area, such
as at night or in a tunnel.
• When the pedestrian is walking fast or
running.
• When a pedestrian suddenly rushes in
front of the vehicle.
• When the position of a pedestrian is close
to the edge of the vehicle.CAUTIONl Factors such as the positional relationship
between your vehicle and a vehicle in front, driver’s own technique of steering the vehi-
cle and irregularly moving traffic due to ac-
cidents or vehicle trouble may deter the
FCM control and alarm from functioning.
l When the system recognizes driver’s steer-
ing or accelerating actions as evasive actions
to avoid collision, the FCM control and alarm functions may be cancelled.
l The FCM control and alarm functions may
be triggered in the following situations.
• When there is a structure (B) beside the
entrance of a curve and intersection.
• When running on a narrow iron bridge.
• When passing through a gate with small
head or side clearances.
