played for about 30 seconds after the reset but-
ton is pressed.
Tripmeter E00530900017
The tripmeter indicates the distance travelled dur-
ing a particular trip or period.
There

are two tripmeter displays: Tripmeter and .
Tripmeter can be used to measure the distance
travelled

since the current trip began. At the same
time, Tripmeter can be used to measure the dis-
tance from an intermediate location.
NOTE

NOTE
l Depressing
the brake pedal repeat-
edly may turn on the brake warn-
ing lamp and brake warning buz-
zer. It is normal if the lamp goes
out and the buzzer stops sounding
after a few seconds. CAUTION
l
In
the situations listed below,
brake performance may be com-
promised or the vehicle may be-
come unstable if brakes are ap-
plied suddenly; consequently,
avoid driving at high speeds or
applying the brakes suddenly.
Furthermore, the vehicle
should be brought to a stop in a
safe location and to have it
checked. • The brake warning lampdoes not illuminate when
the parking brake is applied
or does not turn off when
the parking brake is re-
leased.
• The brake warning lamp re- mains illuminated during
driving.
• The brake warning lamp and ABS warning lamp are
both illuminated at the
same time. Refer to “ABS
warning lamp” on page
5-14.
• The brake warning buzzer will not stop sounding. CAUTION
l
The
vehicle should be brought
to a halt in the following man-
ner when brake performance
has deteriorated. • Depress the brake pedalharder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal
moves down to the very end
of its possible stroke, keep it
pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use regenerative braking to re-
duce your speed and careful-
ly pull the parking brake lev-
er.
Depress the brake pedal to
operate the stop lamp to
alert the vehicles behind you.
NOTE l Operation

sounds of the brake elec-
tric vacuum pump may be heard
from the electric motor unit room
just after the electric motor switch
has been turned “ON” or when the
brake pedal is depressed.
This occurs when the brake elec-
tric vacuum pump is operating nor-
mally and does not indicate faulty
operation. Auxiliary battery charge warn-
ing lamp
E00502701219
This

warning lamp will illuminate when
there is a fault with the charging system
of the auxiliary battery.
Normally, when the electric motor
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
this warning lamp will illuminate. When
the electric motor unit is started, the
lamp goes out. CAUTION
l
If
it illuminates while the ready
indicator is illuminated, there is
a problem in the charging sys-
tem. In this case, immediately
park your vehicle in a safe
place and we recommend you
to have it checked. Door ajar warning lamp
E00503300840
This

lamp illuminates when either of the
doors (also, the tailgate) is not complete-
ly closed.
If the vehicle speed exceeds about
8 km/h (5 mph) with a door ajar, the warn-
ing lamp will flash 16 times and, at the
same time, the buzzer will sound 16
times to notify the driver that a door is
ajar. Instruments and controls

Connect one end of the other jumper cable to
the
negative (-) terminal of the booster bat-
tery, and the other end to the designated loca-
tion of the vehicle with the discharged bat-
tery at the point farthest from the battery. WARNING
l Make
sure you observe the following or-
der when connecting the cables: → →
→
l
Make sure you make connection to the
correct

designated location (as shown in
the illustration). If the connection is made
directly to the negative (-) side of the dis-
charged battery, flammable gases gener-
ated from the battery might catch fire
and explode. WARNING
l When
connecting the jumper cables, do
not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (-) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery. CAUTION
l
Take
care not to get the jumper cable
caught in the cooling fan or other rotat-
ing part in the bonnet room or engine com-
partment.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the bat-
tery size to prevent overheating of the ca-
bles.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
8. Start
the engine in the vehicle which has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few mi-
nutes, then start the electric motor unit in the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
9. Check that the ready indicator illuminates.

[When the ready indicator illuminates]
Stop

the engine of another vehicle, discon-
nect the cables in the reverse order and
charge the auxiliary battery for more than 30
minutes.
After the auxiliary battery is charged, contin-
ue the process from step 16.

[When the ready indicator does not illuminate]
Both the auxiliary battery and the traction bat-
tery have gone flat at the same time.
Charge the auxiliary battery and the traction
battery by the following procedures (from
steps 10 to 14).

10. Keep connecting the jumper cable to each ve- hicle, turn the electric motor switch of your
vehicle to the “LOCK” position.
NOTE l The jumper cable needs to be connected to
the auxiliary battery when you start charging
the traction battery because the on board
charger etc. operate with a power source of
auxiliary battery.
11. Charge the traction battery by regular charg- ing. (Refer to “Regular charging” on page
1-04.)
12. When the charging indicator on the instru- ment cluster is illuminated, stop the engine
of another vehicle, disconnect the cables in
the reverse order. For emergencies

NOTE
l When
the regular charging plug is connected
to the charging connection, the charging indi-
cator is blinking. When charging is started,
the charging indicator is illuminated.
l The auxiliary battery is automatically charg-
ed while charging the traction battery.
13. Charge the traction battery for more than 1 hour.
14. Disconnect the charging cable. (Refer to “Regular charging” on page 1-04.)
15. Turn the electric motor switch to the “START” position, make sure that the ready
indicator on the instrument cluster is illumi-
nated.
If the ready indicator does not illuminate, per-
form the procedure again from step 7.
If charging cannot be performed, consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
16. Refit the battery cover. (Refer to “Auxiliary battery” on page 8-12.) WARNING
l Do
not charge the auxiliary battery using
an external battery charger while the aux-
iliary battery is mounted in the vehicle.
Doing so could cause the auxiliary bat-
tery to catch fire and explode and could
result in damage to the vehicle.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away
from the auxiliary battery because the bat-
tery may produce an explosion.
l Use adequate ventilation when charging
or using the auxiliary battery in an en-
closed space.
l Remove all the caps before charging the
auxiliary battery.
l Electrolyte is corrosive diluted sulphuric
acid.
If electrolyte (battery acid) comes into con-
tact with your hands, eyes, clothes and
the painted surface of your vehicle, it
should be thoroughly flushed with water.
If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them
with water immediately and thoroughly,
and get prompt medical attention.
NOTE l If

the electric motor unit is started without
fully charging the auxiliary battery, it might
cause the anti-lock brake warning lamp to il-
luminate. Refer to “Anti-lock brake system
(ABS)” on page 5-14. Tyre repair kit
