during automatic operation, or if the sensors (A) on either side of the electric tailgate are
hit. The warning buzzer sounds once for safe- ty and the electric tailgate automatically moves in the direction opposite to the one in which it was operating.
CAUTIONl The safety mechanism will sometimes not
operate depending on the condition of the
trapped object or how it is trapped. There- fore, be especially careful not to trap a hand,
part of your body or an object at this time.
Electric tailgate*
4-24OGGE18E1Locking and unlocking4

CAUTIONlThe safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the electric tailgate is fully closed to al- low it to close completely. Therefore be es-
pecially careful not to trap a hand or finger
at this time.
l The safety mechanism is deactivated when
the electric tailgate is closed manually. Therefore be especially careful not to trap ahand or finger at this time.
l If the safety mechanism is repeatedly operat-
ed, the tailgate could be switched to manual operation. Be careful at this time, as the
electric tailgate could open or close sudden-
ly, depending on its position.
Once the electric tailgate is completely open or closed, normal automatic operation is
again possible.NOTEl If the environment or usage conditions sub-
ject the sensors to the same kind of force as
that of trapping a person or object, the safety mechanism could be activated.
l Do not damage the sensors when loading or
unloading luggage, or when cleaning therear window. Doing so could prevent the tailgate from closing automatically.Drop prevention mechanism
After the electric tailgate is opened automati-
cally, if it is detected that the tailgate is drop- ping due to factors such as accumulated
snow, the electric tailgate is closed automati- cally.
A warning buzzer sounds continuously while
the drop prevention mechanism operates.
NOTEl If snow has accumulated on the electric tail-
gate, remove it before operation.
l Do not install accessories other than
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE parts
on the electric tailgate. Some accessories could be too heavy, causing the drop preven-
tion mechanism to operate.
l The drop prevention mechanism could be
activated if manual operation is attempted immediately after the electric tailgate is
completely opened automatically.Sudden operation prevention
mechanism
If the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is started
while the electric tailgate is operating auto-
matically, it may switch to manual operation due to insufficient auxiliary battery voltage,
making the electric tailgate stop intermittent- ly while it moves. This is to stop the electric
tailgate from operating suddenly. When the tailgate is completely closed or opened, auto-
matic operation is again possible after ap-
proximately 10 seconds.
CAUTIONl The safety mechanism is deactivated while
the sudden operation prevention mechanism is operating. Therefore be especially careful
not to trap a hand or finger at this time.Manual operation

alarm sensor, the alarm will be activated if
any of the following occurs:
l attempt to an unlawful moving of the ve-
hicle (the vehicle inclination detection
function)
l detection of a motion in the vehicle (the

Security alarm system*
4-28OGGE18E1Locking and unlocking4

The security alarm has fourmodes:
System preparation mode (ap- proximately 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently and the se-curity indicator (A) blinks.)
The system preparation time extends fromthe point at which all of the doors and the
tailgate are locked by pressing the LOCK
switch on the remote control switch or the
keyless operation function to the point at which the system armed mode goes into ef- fect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily
open a door or the tailgate without using the
keyless entry system or the keyless operation function and without causing the alarm tosound (for example, when you forget some-
thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win- dow is open).
System armed mode
(The buzzer stops and the security indicator continues to blink with the indicator’s re-
duced lit-up duration time.)
Once the system preparation mode has ended,
the system armed mode starts.
If an unlawful opening of any of the doors,
tailgate or bonnet is detected during the sys- tem armed mode, the alarm will be activated
to warn people around the vehicle of an ab-
normal condition.
Also, for vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, if unlawful moving of the vehi-
cle is attempted or a vehicle intrusion is de-
tected, the alarm will be activated.
Alarm activation
Inside alarm (approximately 10 seconds):
The buzzer sounds, warning those inside the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
(except for vehicles equipped with the interi-
or alarm sensor)
Outside alarm (approximately 30 seconds):
The turn-signal lamps blink and the horn (the
siren for vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor) sounds, warning people around
the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
Refer to “Alarm activation” on page 4-33.NOTEl The alarm will resume if unlawful actions
are taken again, even if the alarm has stop-
ped.
System cancellation
It is possible to cancel the system activation
during the system preparation mode or the system armed mode.
In addition, it is possible to cancel the alarm
once it has been activated.
Refer to “Cancelling the system” on page 4-32, “Cancelling the alarm” on page 4-34.
NOTEl When lending the vehicle to another person
or allowing the vehicle to be driven bysomeone who is unfamiliar with the securityalarm system, be sure to give the person a
proper explanation of the security alarm sys- tem.
If a person who is unfamiliar with the securi-
ty alarm system accidentally unlocked the vehicle, causing the alarm to sound, the
alarm would be a nuisance to people nearby.
