If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not try to
tow the vehicle.
Please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point or a commercial tow truck service for assistance.

Your vehicle may be temporarily towed by another vehicle with a rope in emergency sit- uations such as running out of fuel.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another ve-
hicle, carefully tow your vehicle for the shortest distance possible and in accordance
with the instructions given in “Emergency towing” in this part.
The regulations concerning towing may dif-
fer from country to country. It is recommen-
ded that you obey the regulations of the area where you are driving your vehicle.CAUT,ONz If the drivetrain or suspension has a prob-
lem, do not tow the vehicle with only the rear wheels or front wheels placed on a dol-
ly.
Towing the vehicle by a tow
truck
:ARN,NGz Never get under your vehicle after it has
been lifted by a tow truck.:ARN,NGz Never ride in a vehicle that is being tow-
ed.
z Never tow the vehicle with front wheels
and/or rear wheels on the ground. This
may cause damage to the electric motors and transaxle.:ARN,NGCAUT,ONz Never tow the vehicle using a sling type
truck.

Emergency towing
If your vehicle is temporarily towed by an-
other vehicle with a rope in emergency situa-
tions such as running out of fuel, the towing distance should be as short as possible and
tow carefully in accordance with the follow-
ing procedure.
If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicle:ARN,NGz Never tow your vehicle in this method ex-
cept in emergency situations such as run-
ning out of fuel. If the vehicle is towed in this method, a problem can occur in the vehicle damaging the motor, transaxle,
etc. indicated by illuminating warning lamps.
1. The front towing hooks are located as
shown in illustration. Secure the tow rope to the front towing hook.
NOTEz Using any part other than the designated
towing hook could result in damage to vehi-cle body.NOTEz Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
z Take care that the tow rope is kept as hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can
damage the vehicle body.
z Secure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
2. Start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system.
If the Plug-in Hybrid EV System cannotbe started, put the operation mode of the
power switch in “ON”.
:ARN,NGz If the vehicle is towed with the operation
mode in “ON” without starting the Plugin
Hybrid EV System, the auxiliary battery may be fully discharged during towing. In
this case, the brake performance becomes very poor and the steering wheel becomes
very heavy.
Towing
9-192**((For emergencies9

CAUT,ONzFor vehicle equipped with the Adaptive
Cruise Control system (ACC) and Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM), stopthese systems to prevent an unexpected acci-
dent or unexpected operation during towing. Refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control system
(ACC)” on page 7-55 and “Forward Colli-
sion Mitigation system (FCM)” on page 7-67.
3. Put the select position in “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position.
4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-
quired by law. (Follow the local driving
laws and regulations.)
5. During towing make sure that close con-
tact is maintained between the drivers of both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav-
el at low speed.
:ARN,NGz Avoid sudden braking, acceleration and
steering wheel movements; such driving
operation could cause damage to the tow-
ing hook or tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.
z When going down a long slope, the brakes
may overheat, reducing effectiveness.
Have your vehicle transported by a tow truck.CAUT,ONz The person in the vehicle being towed must
pay attention to the brake lamps of the tow- ing vehicle and make sure the rope never be-
comes slack.
z When the vehicle is to be towed by another
vehicle with all the wheels on the ground, make sure that the towing speed and dis- tance given below are never exceeded,
avoiding damage to the transaxle.

Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph)
Towing distance: 30 km

For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg- ulations.
If your vehicle tows another ve-
hicle
Only use the rear towing hook as shown in
the illustration.
Secure the tow rope to the rear towing hook.
Otherwise, the instructions are the same as
for “When being towed by another vehicle”.NOTEz Using any part other than the designated
towing hook could result in damage to vehi-cle body.
z Do not tow a vehicle heavier than your own
vehicle.

NOTEOperation under adversedriving conditions E00801703828
If your vehicle becomes stuck
in sand, mud or snow
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand,
or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking
motion. Rock your vehicle back and forth to
free it.
Do not spin the wheels. Constant efforts to
free a stuck vehicle can cause transaxle fail-
ure.
If your vehicle is still stuck after several rocking attempts, call for a commercial tow
truck service.
:ARN,NGz When trying to rock your vehicle out of a
stuck position, make sure that there areno people nearby. The rocking motion can
make your vehicle suddenly lurch for- ward or backward, and injure any by-
standers.
On a flooded road
z Do not drive on a flooded road. If you
drive on a flooded road, not only does the Plugin Hybrid EV System stop but
there may be a failure like electric leak-
age or short circuit.
If you inevitably had to run on a flooded
road and the vehicle was exposed to wa- ter, be sure to have your vehicle inspec-
ted by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
z If there is water on the brakes after driv-
ing through puddles or washing the vehi- cle, resulting in temporarily ineffective
brakes. In such cases, lightly depress thebrake pedal to see if the brakes operate properly. If they do not, lightly depress
the pedal several times while driving in order to dry the brake pads.
z When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance
on the road, resulting in loss of steering stability and braking capability.

To cope with this, observe the following items: A- Drive your vehicle at slow speed.B- Do not drive on worn tyres.
C- Always maintain the specified tyre
inflation pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen road
z When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you use snow tyres or snow traction device (tyre chains).
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Snow
traction device (tyre chains)” sections.
z Avoid high-speed operation, sudden ac-
celeration, abrupt brake application and
sharp cornering.
Operation under adverse driving conditions
9-212**((For emergencies9

zDepressing the brake pedal during travel
on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre slippage and skidding. When traction be-
tween the tyres and the road is reduced
the wheels may skid and the vehicle can-
not readily be brought to a stop by con- ventional braking techniques. Brakingwill differ, depending upon whether you
have anti-lock brake system (ABS). As your vehicle is equipped with ABS,brake by pressing the brake pedal hard,
and keeping it pressed.
z Allow extra distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.
z Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-
tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pullaway from a standstill slowly after con-
firming safety around the vehicle.CAUT,ONz Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If
the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle
could suddenly start moving and possibly cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
Drive as slow as possible when driving on
bumpy or rutted roads.
CAUT,ONz The impact on tyres and/or wheels when
driving on a bumpy or rutted road can dam-
age the tyre and/or wheel.
This vehicle is intended for driving mainly
on roads with firm surface.
4WD system makes it possible to drive on roads without special coverage, on flat and
firm surfaces. Please, remember that off-road
ability of your vehicle is limited. Your vehi- cle is not intended for driving in heavy off-
road terrain, overcoming the rugged terrain, deep ruts, etc.
The manufacturer of the vehicle is proceed-
ing from the following assumption: if the driver makes the decision to keep driving un-
der conditions mentioned above, he takes all
actions at own risk, aware of the possible consequences.

clean your vehicle,

Upholstery
E00900500207
1. To maintain the value of your new vehi-
cle, handle the upholstery carefully and keep the interior clean.
Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean
the seats. If stained, vinyl and synthetic leather should be cleaned with an appro- priate cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be
cleaned with either upholstery cleaner or
a mild soap and water solution.
2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuum
cleaner and remove any stains with car-pet cleaner. Oil and grease can be re- moved by lightly dabbing with a clean
colourfast cloth and stain remover.
Genuine leather*
E00900600950
1. To clean, lightly wipe the leather with a
soft cloth soaked in a mild soap and wa- ter solution.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it out
well. Using this cloth, wipe off the deter-
gent thoroughly.
3. Apply leather protecting agent to the
genuine leather surface.
NOTEz If genuine leather is wet with water or is
washed in water, wipe off water as quickly
as possible with a dry, soft cloth.
If left damp, mildew may grow.
z Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene,
alcohol and petrol, acid or alkaline solvents
may discolour the genuine leather surface. Be sure to use neutral detergents.
z Remove dirty patches or oil substances
quickly as they can stain genuine leather.
z The genuine leather surface may harden and
shrink if it is exposed to direct sun for long hours. When your vehicle is parked, place itin the shade as much as possible.
z When the temperature of the vehicle interior
rises in summer, vinyl products left on the
genuine leather seat may deteriorate and stick to the seat.Cleaning the exterior of
your vehicle E00900700108
If the following is left on your vehicle, it maycause corrosion, discolouration and stains, wash the vehicle as soon as possible.
z Seawater, road deicing products.
z Soot and dust, iron powder from facto-
ries, chemical substance (acids, alkalis, coaltar, etc.).
z Droppings from birds, carcasses of in-
sects, tree sap, etc.
Washing
E00900904267
Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust
picked up from the road surface can damagethe paint coat and body of your vehicle if left
in prolonged contact.
Frequent washing and waxing is the best way
to protect your vehicle from this damage. This will also be effective in protecting it
from environmental elements such as rain, snow, salt air, etc.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it with water to remove dust. Next, using an
ample amount of clean water and a car wash- ing brush or sponge, wash the vehicle from
top to bottom.
Use a mild car washing soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft
cloth. After washing the vehicle, carefully clean the joints and flanges of the doors, bon-
net and other sections where dirt is likely to remain.
:ARN,NGz Do not wash the vehicle while charging
the traction battery.
Doing so could cause fire or an electric shock.
Cleaning the exterior of your vehicle
10-032**((Vehicle care10

:ARN,NGzBefore washing the vehicle, make sure
that the charging lid and the inner lid are
completely closed.
If the lid is open, the charging unit is ex- posed to water, resulting in fire or an elec-
tric shock.CAUT,ONz When washing the under side of your vehi-
cle or wheel, be careful not to injure your hands.
z As your vehicle is equipped with the rain
sensor, place the wiper switch lever in the
“OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor before washing the vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will operate in the presence of water
spray on the windscreen and may get dam- aged as a result.
z Refrain from excessively using a car wash as
its brushes may scratch the paint surface,
causing it to lose its gloss. Scratches will be
especially visible on darker coloured vehi-
cles.
z Never spray or splash water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment. Do- ing so could have an adverse effect on the
Plug-in Hybrid EV system startability.
Exercise caution also when washing the un- derbody; be careful not to spray water intothe engine compartment.
z Some types of hot water washing equipment
apply high pressure and heat to the vehicle. They may cause heat distortion and damageCAUT,ONto the vehicle resin parts and may result in flooding of the vehicle interior.
