Retracting and extending the
outside mirrors
E00601102126
The outside mirror can be folded in towards the side window to prevent damage when
parking in narrow areas.
CAUTIONl Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror fol-
ded in.
The lack of rearward visibility normally pro-
vided by the mirror could lead to an acci- dent.
Retracting and extending the
mirrors using the mirror re- tractor switch
With the operation mode in ON or ACC,push the mirror retractor switch to retract the
mirrors. Push it again to extend the mirrors to their original positions.
After placing the operation mode in OFF, it is possible to retract and extend the mirrors us-
ing the mirror retractor switch for approxi-
mately 30 seconds.
CAUTIONl It is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror using
the mirror retractor switch, however, you should extend it by using the switch again,
not by hand. If you extended the mirror by
hand after retracting it using the switch, it would not properly lock in position. As a re-
sult, it could move because of the wind or
vibration while you are driving, taking away your rearward visibility.NOTEl Be careful not to get your hands trapped
while a mirror is moving.
l If you move a mirror by hand or it moves af-
ter hitting a person or object, you may not be
able to return it to its original position using the mirror retractor switch. If this happens,
push the mirror retractor switch to place the mirror in its retracted position and then push
the switch again to return the mirror to its original position.
l When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to operate as intended, please refrain from repeated pushing of the retractor switch as
this action can result in burn-out of the mir- ror motor circuits.

CAUTIONlIf 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.
l If you operate the right and left paddles si-
multaneously, the regenerative brake force
level may not change.NOTEl Repeated continuous operation of a paddle
will continuously change the brake forcelevels.
l 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.
l When stronger regenerative braking is gen-
erated, the stop lamps will illuminate even when the brake pedal is not depressed.
l Under the cruise control, the level B0 or B1
cannot be selected. The buzzer sounds if you
try to select these levels.
l On vehicles with the adaptive cruise control
system (ACC), you cannot control the regen- erative brake force level while the adaptive
cruise control system (ACC) is operating. The buzzer sounds if you operate the pad-
dles.To decrease regenerative brake
force
Each time you pull the “+” paddle towards you, the regenerative brake force lowers by
one level.
To increase regenerative brake
force
Each time you pull the “ −” paddle towards
you, the regenerative brake force rises by one
level.

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.NOTEl Driving on rough roads can be hard on a ve-
hicle. Before you leave paved roads, be sure all scheduled maintenance and service has
been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to the condi- tion of the tyres, and check the tyre pres-
sures.
l MITSUBISHI
MOTORS is not responsible
for any damage or injury caused or liability
incurred by improper and negligent opera- tion of a vehicle by the operator. All techni-
ques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other par- ticipating parties. Any deviation from the
recommended operating instructions above is at their own risk.
l Note that the stopping distance required of a
4-wheel drive vehicle differs very little from
that of a 2-wheel drive vehicle. When driv- ing on a snow-covered road or a slippery,muddy surface, make sure that you keep a
sufficient distance between your vehicle and
the one ahead of you.
l The driving posture should be more upright;
adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wear
the seat belt.
l After driving on rough roads, check each
part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughlywith water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera-
tion” section and “Maintenance” section.

TowingCAUTIONlDo not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing. If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type
C or Type D equipment.Jacking up a 4-wheel drive ve-
hicleWARNINGl Do not turn on the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System or turn a jacked-up wheel whenthe vehicle is jacked up. The tyre in con-
tact with the ground may turn and the ve- hicle may come off the jack, possibly lead-
ing to an accident. Besides, do not touch
the high-voltage area.EV switch
E00653000061
To drive the vehicle without starting the en-
gine as much as possible, the EV priority mode can be used.
This mode helps to drive the vehicle at a place needed for concern of noises and ex-
haust gas emissions, such as residential areas etc.
To switch to the EV priority mode, press the
EV switch with operation mode of the power switch in ON.
If the EV switch is pressed, you can drive the vehicle by using only the EV drive mode as much as possible, even if the accelerator ped-
al is roughly depressed.
To cancel the EV priority mode, press the EV
switch again.
When the operation mode of the power
switch is put in OFF, the EV priority mode
will be cancelled.
If the EV priority mode is activated, the fol- lowing display appears on the information
screen in the multi-information display.
NOTEl While driving the vehicle in the EV priority
mode, if the engine automatically startswhile the vehicle is accelerating, the vehicle
may accelerate more quickly.

Battery charge mode switchE00636900081
It can be used when increasing the remaining quantity of the drive battery.
Use the battery charge mode switch before
driving at long up hills, such as mountains with a steep slope.
By charging the drive battery before driving, it becomes possible to continue hill-climbing
performance (driving force).
If the battery charge mode switch is pressed while the ready indicator is on, the engine
will start and it can charge the drive battery
to near the full charge during the vehicle is run and stopped.
It can be cancelled if pressed once again.
If the battery charge mode is activated, the
following image is displayed on the informa-
tion screen in the multi-information display.
WARNINGl When you leave the vehicle, be sure that
you have stopped the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System. Refer to “Parking” on page 7-06.
l Only use the battery charge mode in a
well ventilated space.
The engine will start when the vehicle is in
the battery charge mode, and this can
cause carbon monoxide to build up caus- ing carbon monoxide poisoning. Be sure
to use at the well-ventilated place.
l Do not use the battery charge mode near
flammable objects such as dried grass or
paper etc. There is a possibility of starting a fire due to the high exhaust pipe tem-
perature.CAUTIONl While the battery charge mode is activated,
do not cover the front of the vehicle withanything including a car cover. Doing so
could cause the engine to overheat.NOTEl Use the battery charge mode switch before
the uphill climb.
l Even if the battery charge mode switch is
pressed, the engine may not start dependingon the condition of the remaining drive bat-
tery capacity or the Plug-in Hybrid EV sys- tem control.
Additionally, the battery charge mode may
not be activated depending on the remaining fuel quantity.
l It is recommended to use the battery charge
mode switch at least 20 minutes before youclimb, in order to continue a speed of more
than 100 km/h (62 mph), or when a long slope (gradient of more than 4 %) is expec-
ted. (According to a towing weight, it may not be able to continue the speed.)
l When using the battery charge switch with a
vehicle that has stopped in the heath a long
time, it may not charge.
l The charging time close to full charge of the
drive battery becomes longer depending on the condition of the drive battery, a driving
condition or a environment.
l The engine may stop near full charge.
l If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity while using gaso-
line, the fuel consumption will suffer.
We recommend you to consider the environ- ment.
