Regenerative braking
Motion energy is converted into electric ener-
gy using the motor as a power generator.
Then a braking force generates and converted electric energy will be charged to the drive
battery.
l If you lift your foot off the accelerator
pedal during driving, a braking force that
is equivalent to engine braking of a com- bustion engine vehicle will be generated.
Also, if you shift the select position into “B” (BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), ef-
fectiveness of the regenerative braking is getting stronger. Shift the selector lever into “B” (BRAKE) position according to
the driving condition.
l When you depress the brake pedal, the
regenerative braking force may be in-creased.
l If a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid
EV system, or if the ABS and/or the
ASC have been activated, the regenera- tive braking will be restricted. The foot brake will still operate.
l When stronger regenerative braking is
generated, the stop lamps will illuminate even when the brake pedal is not de- pressed.Operation of gasoline engine
E00203700098
l Even when the vehicle is driving in EV
drive mode, it may be automatically
changed to series hybrid mode or paral-
lel hybrid mode in the following cases: • The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• Quick acceleration is applied.
• The air conditioner is operating.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed
hard on an uphill road or expressway.
• In cold weather.
• The vehicle has not been refueled for
a long time.
• The drive battery level is low.
In addition to the above, there are more
cases where EV drive mode is automati-
cally changed to series or parallel hybrid mode.
l Even while the vehicle is stopped, the
engine may automatically be started in
the following cases: • The drive battery level is low.
• The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• The air conditioner is used.
• The vehicle has not been used for a
long time.
• The engine has not been operated for a long time.
• Refuelling has not been performed for
a long time.

6.When the READY indicator changes
from blinking to staying on, the startup of Plug-in Hybrid EV System is activa-ted and the vehicle is now ready to drive.CAUTIONl Do not press the power switch while holding
the select lever at the operated position.NOTEl Continue to depress the brake pedal until the
READY indicator in the meter stays on.
l After the Plug-in Hybrid EV System has not
started for a while, the brake pedal effort needed to start the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys-tem may become greater.
If this occurs, depress the brake pedal more
than usual.
l You can drive your vehicle even if the en-
gine is stopped.
l The Plug-in Hybrid EV System can be star-
ted in any operation mode.
l If the READY indicator does not come on,
check the select position indicator. If the in-
dicator does not indicate “P”, press the elec-
trical parking switch to display “P” position.
l If the READY indicator does not come on,
turn the power switch to OFF once and, after a while, press the power switch to start Plu- gin Hybrid EV System.Stopping the Plug-in Hybrid
EV System
E00620801457
1. Stop your vehicle completely.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly while
depressing the brake pedal.
3. After pressing the electrical parking
switch, press the power switch to stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV System. (Refer to“Electrical Parking switch” on page
7-19.)
WARNINGl Never stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV System
during running except in an emergency. The effectiveness of the brake becomes
very poor and the steering wheel becomes very heavy, which can easily lead to an ac-
cident.NOTEl Do not operate the power switch during run-
ning except in an emergency. If you have to stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV System becauseof an emergency during operation, continue to press the power switch for three seconds
or longer or press the power switch three times or more quickly. The Plug-in Hybrid
EV System stops, the operation mode turns to ACC, and the selector lever position shifts
to the “P” position at very slow speed.NOTEl If you press the power switch when the se-
lector lever position is other than the “P” po-
sition while your vehicle is stopped, the se- lector lever position automatically shifts to
the “P” position, Plug-in Hybrid EV System stops, and the power mode turns to “OFF”.
l 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, the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System cannot be stopped unless
you apply the parking brake and then press the power switch. Park on a flat place with
the parking brake securely applied. Have your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.If the keyless operation key is
not operating properly
E00632901237
Insert the keyless operation key into the key
slot. Starting the Plug-in Hybrid EV System and changing the operation mode should be now possible.

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.CAUTIONl 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
CAUTIONl Be 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.NOTEl 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.

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 thatenhances 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.

If the 4WD lock switch is pressed once again, it will return to “NORMAL”.
When the 4WD LOCK mode is activated, the
following display appears on the information
screen in the multi-information display for a few seconds.

4-wheel drive operation
E00606602083
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.WARNINGl 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.
l 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.
• Follow all instructions and guidelines in
the owner’s manual.
• Keep your speed low and do not drive
faster than conditions allow you to.
