WARNINGlIf the vehicle receives a strong impact to
the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in
a safe place and check the floor.
l Never 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

the same time. If you charged with static
electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited by the discharge spark.
l Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er until refueling is finished. If you moved
away and did something else (for exam-
ple, sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up afresh charge of static electricity.
l Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel
contains toxic substances.WARNINGl Keep the doors and windows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,fuel vapour could get into the cabin.
l If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.CAUTIONl The fuel in the fuel tank may not be con-
sumed and it may stagnate for a long time

Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and re- placement parts of different manufactures available in the market, it is not possible, not
only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS , but also
for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point, to check whether the attach- ment or installation of such parts affects the
overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially author-
ized, for example by a “general operators
permit” (an appraisal for the part) or through the execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach- ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehicles has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no li- ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi-
cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or
installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS au-
thorized Service Point ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE replacement parts and
MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories). The
same also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the
production specifications. For safety reasons, do not attempt any modifications other than
those that follow the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS authorized Service
Point.
