WARNINGlNever start the plug-in hybrid EV system
if you found a leak of a liquid (except wa-
ter of the air conditioner) while checking the outside of the vehicle because there is
possibility the fuel system has been dam- aged and causing of fire or exploding.
In such case, immediately contact your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
l Leaks or damage to the drive battery may
result in a fire. If you discover them, con-
tact emergency services immediately.
Since the fluid leak may be lithium man- ganite from the Lithium-ion battery, nev- er touch any fluid leaking from the inside
or outside of the vehicle. If the fluid con- tacts your skin or eyes, wash it off imme-
diately with a large amount of water and receive immediate medical attention to
help avoid serious injury.
l 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 responders that this is a Plug-in Hybrid
vehicle.WARNINGl If a fire occurs in this vehicle, leave the
vehicle as soon as possible and contact
emergency services. Do not attempt to ex- tinguish a fire by yourself. If the fire in-
volves a lithium-ion battery, it will re- quire large, sustained volumes of water for extinguishment. Using a small amount
of water or the incorrect fire extinguisher
can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
l When you leave the vehicle, if possible,
open the windows, doors and tailgate to
prevent accumulation of poisonous/ combustible gasses. This will also assist in
the rescue and fire fighting process.
l As with any vehicle fire, the byproducts of
combustion can be toxic. Do not inhale
smoke, vapors, or gas from the vehicle. Move to a safe distance upwind and uphill
from the vehicle fire and out of the way of any oncoming traffic while awaiting the
arrival of emergency responders.
l If you detect leaking fluids, sparks,
smoke, flames, gurgling, popping or hiss-
ing noises originating from the high volt- age battery compartment, contact emer-
gency services immediately. This may re- sult in a fire.
l Physical damage to the vehicle or high
voltage battery may result in immediate or delayed release of toxic and/or flamma- ble gases and fire.WARNINGl If your vehicle needs to be towed, trans-
port the vehicle on a flatbed truck or tow
the vehicle with all wheels off the ground.
If the any wheels are on the ground when towing, this may cause damage to the elec-
tric motors. This may also cause a fire, if
wiring in the electric motor unit room be- comes damaged. Refer to “Towing” on
page 9-17.
l Do not attempt to repair a damaged Plu-
gin Hybrid vehicle by yourself. Please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point for service.
l In the event of an accident that requires
body repair and painting, the vehicle should be delivered to a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point to
have the drive battery and high voltage parts such as the inverter, including the
attached wiring harness, removed prior to
painting. If exposed to heat in the paint booth, the drive battery will experiencebattery capacity loss.
A damaged drive battery can also pose
safety risks to untrained mechanics and
repair personnel.NOTEl The emergency shut-off system will be acti-
vated and the high-voltage system will auto- matically turn off under the following condi-
tions:

E00628001237
The hill start assist makes it easy to start off on a steep uphill slope by preventing the ve-
hicle from moving backwards. It keeps the
braking force for about 2 seconds when you move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.CAUTIONl Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to
prevent backwards movement of the vehicle. Under certain circumstances, even when hill
start assist is activated, the vehicle may
move backwards if the brake pedal is not sufficiently depressed, if the vehicle is heav-
ily loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery.
l The hill start assist is not designed to keep
the vehicle stopped in place on uphill slopes for more than 2 seconds.
l When facing uphill, do not rely on using the
hill start assist to maintain a stopped position as an alternative to depressing the brake ped-
al.
Doing so could result in an accident.
l Do not turn the operation mode in ACC or
OFF while the hill start assist is operating.
The hill start assist could stop operating, which could result in an accident.To operate
E00628101498
1. Stop the vehicle completely using the
brake pedal.
2. Put the select position to the “D” posi-
tion.
NOTEl When reversing on an uphill slope, put the
select position to the “R” position.
3. Release the brake pedal and the hill start
assist will maintain the braking force ap-
plied while stopped for approximately 2 seconds.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal and the
hill start assist will gradually decrease the braking force as the vehicle startsmoving.
NOTEl The hill start assist is activated when all of
the following conditions are met.
• The Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operat-
ing.
(The hill start assist will not be activated
while the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is
starting or immediately after the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System has started.)
• The select position is in any position other
than “P” or “N”.

sist will not operate. Start off carefully.CAUTIONl Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
Restart the Plug-in Hybrid EV System and check whether the display/indicator goes out, in which case the hill start assist is
working normally again.
If they remain displayed or reappear fre- quently, it is not necessary to stop the vehi-cle immediately, but the vehicle should be
inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point as soon as possible.Brake assist system
E00627001793
The brake assist system is a device assistingdrivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly when it is necessary to do so (such as
in emergency stop situations) and provides
greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force than
usual.
CAUTIONl The brake assist system is not a device de-
signed to exercise braking force greater than its capacity. Make sure to always keep a suf-
ficient distance between your vehicle and a
vehicle in front of you without relying too much on the brake assist system.NOTEl Once the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.
l When the brake assist system is in use, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal issoft, the pedal moves in small motions inconjunction with the sound of the ABS oper- ation, or the vehicle body and the steering
wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
firmly depress the brake pedal.
l You may hear an operation noise when the
brake pedal is depressed suddenly while sta-
tionary. This does not indicate a malfunction
and the brake assist system is operating nor- mally.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp or only Active Stability Control warn- ing lamp illuminate, the brake assist system
in not functioning.

When doing this, be careful not to damagethe wheel speed sensors (A) and cables loca-ted at each wheel on vehicles equipped with an ABS.Electric power steering
system (EPS) E00629201294
The power steering system operates while thePlug-in Hybrid EV System is operating.
It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-
son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-
cle, but you will notice it takes much more
effort to steer. If this happens, have your ve- hicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
WARNINGl Do not stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys-
tem while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the Plug-in Hybrid EV System would
make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.NOTEl During repeated full-lock turning of the
steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking space), a protection function may be activa-
ted to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering action will return to normal.
l If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlamps on, the
headlamps may become dim. This behaviour is not abnormal. The headlamps will returnto their original brightness after a shortwhile.Electric power steering system
warning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning display will appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi information display.
CAUTIONl If the warning display appears while the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operating,
have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.
It may become harder to turn the steering wheel.

Once the emergency braking has worked, you
are alerted to this by a message on the infor- mation screen of the multi-information dis- play.
The FCM braking function operates at the
following vehicle speed:
l Against a vehicle: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph).
l Against a pedestrian: Approximately
5 km/h (3 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph).
CAUTIONl Do not use the FCM as a normal braking.
l After your vehicle has stopped following the
activation of the FCM, automatic braking is released. As the vehicle will then start creep-
ing, be sure to depress the brake pedal to
hold the vehicle stationary.CAUTIONl When applying the brake during the auto-
matic braking condition the pedal will feel firm.
This is not abnormal.
You can apply more pressure to the pedal to
assist in braking.
