to remove the key.
Selector lever (Joystick
type) E00636100100Selector lever operation
E00636200097
The selector lever always returns to its home(

The position you select with the selector lev-er will be illuminated on the shift position
panel shown in the illustration below.
Move the selector lever slowly and securely
in the following method.
z To select “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (RE-
VERSE):
Move the selector lever in the direction of the arrow.
z To select “N” (NEUTRAL):
Move the selector lever in the direction
of the arrow and hold it for a while.
z To select “B” (REGENERATIVE
BRAKE):
Move the selector lever in the direction of the arrow.
The “B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE) posi-
tion can only be selected while the select po-
sition is in the “D” (DRIVE) position. When the selector lever is moved to the “B” posi- tion, the regenerative brake force will be-
come stronger.
When the selector lever is again moved to the
“B” position, the maximum regenerative brake force will be used.
To return to the “D” position, use the selector
lever to select the “D” position.NOTEz If you operate the selector lever to “B” twice
too quickly, the regenerative brake force
may not become the maximum.:ARN,NGz Do not replace the selector lever knob
with anything other than a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine part. In addition, do
not hang an object on the selector lever as it may be the cause of an accident.
z When you shift the selector lever to “D”
or “R” position, always depress the brake
pedal with your right foot for your safety. Never shift the lever while depressing the
accelerator pedal. Doing so will start your vehicle abruptly, which may lead to a seri-
ous accident. It may also be a cause of
failure of the vehicle.NOTEz You cannot operate the regenerative brake
while the adaptive cruise control system
(ACC) is operating.
z Every time while operating the selector lev-
er, be sure to check the position displayed onthe indicator.
z If you perform the following operation, the
buzzer may sound and the select position may automatically shift to the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position.

NOTE

:ARN,NGzSudden regenerative brake may cause the
tyres to skid.
Select this position according to the road conditions and vehicle speed.CAUT,ONz When the capacity of the drive battery is
close to full or when the drive battery tem- perature is low, the regenerative brake will
become less effective.
In such case, depress the brake pedal strong- ly.NOTEz If a large regenerative braking force is gen-
erated by using the selector lever or the re-generative braking level selector, the stop
lamps will be automatically illuminated.Electrical Parking switch
E00636600062
When you park your vehicle, be sure to apply the parking brake and press the electrical
parking switch to lock the wheels. The indi- cator on the switch illuminates in green and
the select position indicator displays “P” on the information screen in the meter.CAUT,ONz If 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.
z 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.
z 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.
z 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.

CAUT,ONzBe 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.NOTEz 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.

If the driver’s door is opened with the select
position other than “P” when the vehicle is at a stop, the buzzer sounds to warn to press the
electrical parking switch.
Regenerative braking level
selector (paddle type)* E00636700148
Regenerative braking level selector canquickly change the regenerative brake force
keeping your hand on the steering wheel when you release your foot from the acceler-
ator pedal while driving.
By pulling the regenerative braking level se-
lector, the brake force (amount of electrical energy to charge the drive battery) can be ad-
justed according to the driving condition such as before a curve or a downhill.
Regenerative braking level can be switched in the 6 level from B0 (without regenerative
brake force) to B5 (large regenerative brake force).CAUT,ONz If a large regenerative brake force is applied
on a slippery road, tyres may skid. Always
drive safely in accordance with the prevail- ing road condition.
z If you operate the right and left paddles si-
multaneously, the regenerative brake force
level may not change.NOTEz Repeated continuous operation of a paddle
will continuously change the brake forcelevels.
z If you turn on the SPORT mode, the regener-
ative braking force level will automatically
switch to B5. After the regenerative braking force level is switched, the regenerative braking level can be adjusted by the regener-
ative braking level selector.
z If you turn on the cruise control when the
level B0 or B1 (smaller regenerative brake
force) is selected, the level is returned to the
normal level B2 automatically.
z When stronger regenerative braking is gen-
erated, the stop lamps will illuminate even when the brake pedal is not depressed.
z Under the cruise control, the level B0 or B1
cannot be selected. The buzzer sounds if you
try to select these levels.

CAUT,ONzDo not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S-
AWC cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle. This sys-
tem, like any other system, has limits and cannot help you to maintain traction and
control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. It is
the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking into account the traffic,
road and environmental conditions.
Twin Motor 4WD
This system improves vehicle stability per-
formance and fuel economy performanceduring acceleration and deceleration by mo-
tors provided at front and rear wheels, re- spectively, controlling the distribution of a drive force between the front and rear wheels
optimal for the operation of the driver.
Active yaw control system
(AYC)
E00622801044
The AYC is a system, with a left-right differ- ential limiting function and yaw control func-
tion, that controls the left-right driving/brak- ing force by managing the brake.
CAUT,ONz Control of the braking force does not en-
hance the stopping performance of the vehi-
cle, therefore, pay careful attention to the safety of your surroundings when driving.
Left-right differential limiting
function
The left-right differential limiting function is
a function that enhances driving performance and vehicle stability by preventing idle spin-
ning of a wheel when driving on a slippery road or when the road surfaces of left andright wheels are different.
Yaw control function
The yaw control function is a function that enhances vehicle cornering performance and
vehicle stability with management of vehicle turning power (yaw moment) by controlling
the brake force when the vehicle does not turn in response to steering input, such as
when the steering wheel is turned quickly or
when driving on a slippery road.
S-AWC drive mode
E00653100020
Select the drive mode from the following
three types to suit the driving conditions.
S-AWC drive modeFunction
NORMAL
This mode can be used on
both dry and wet roads.
The distribution of driv-
ing/braking torque to
each wheel is automati-
cally controlled according
to the driving condition.
SNOW
This mode is for driving
on slippery road surfaces,
such as snow-covered
roads and improves sta-
bility on a slippery road.
LOCK
This mode is for driving
where maximum traction
is required. This mode is
suitable for driving on
rough roads or driving in
sand or fresh snow.Drive mode switch

:ARN,NGzAlways concentrate on your driving first.
Keep your eyes and mind on the road.
Distractions while driving can lead to an accident.4-wheel drive operation
E00606602605
Your vehicle has been designed primarily foruse on paved roads.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads,
to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar lo-
cations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow- covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions.
It is particularly important to note that 4- wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability with the regenerative brake on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driv-
ing on steep slopes.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving
on sand and mud and when driving through water because sufficient traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through
areas where the tyres may get stuck in deep
sand or mud.:ARN,NGz Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive ve-
hicles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have limits to the system and ability to main-tain control and traction. Reckless driving
may lead to accidents. Always drive care- fully, taking account of the road condi-
tions.
z Improperly operating this vehicle on or
off-paved roads can cause an accident or rollover in which you and your passengers
could be seriously injured or killed.

NOTEzWhen moving out of mud, sand or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not
allow the Plug-in Hybrid EV system output to increase. In such situations, switching to
“LOCK” with the S-AWC drive mode switch and temporarily turning off the Ac-
tive Stability Control (ASC) with the “ASC OFF” switch will make it easier to move outyour vehicle.
Refer to “Operation under adverse driving
conditions: If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow” on page 9-21.On snowy or icy roads
Set the drive mode to “SNOW” in accord-
ance with the road conditions, and then grad-
ually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
CAUT,ONz Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turning. Skidding occurs and con- trol of the vehicle could be lost.NOTEz The use of snow tyres and/or snow traction
device (tyre chains) is recommended.
z Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use regenerative braking.
Driving on sandy or rough
roads
Set the drive mode to “LOCK” and then
gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure on the accel-
erator pedal as constant as possible, and drive
at low speed.
Climbing/descending sharp
grades
Your vehicle may not provide sufficient hill climbing ability and regenerative brake on
steep slope. Avoid driving on steep slopes even though the vehicle is a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Inspection and maintenance
following rough road
operation E00606701407
After operating the vehicle in rough road
conditions, be sure to perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures:
z Check that the vehicle has not been dam-
aged by rocks, gravel, etc.
z Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal in order to dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do
not function properly, we recommend you to have the brakes checked as soon
as possible.
z Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core.
z Check the inside of the vehicle. If water
entry is found, dry the carpet etc.
