Economical drivingE00600102422
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting and acceleration
Avoid driving when the accelerator pedal ispressed way down, such as for unnecessarily sudden starts, acceleration and deceleration.
Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal.
Observe the speed limit and keep the speed
as constant as possible while driving.
Idling
Parking for a long period with the ready indi-
cator illuminated will shorten the cruising
range.
Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more drive
battery is consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of drive battery.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al- so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Air conditioning
Too much cooling/heating can affect the cruising range, so maintain an appropriatetemperature to extend the cruising range.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously im- paired even with blood alcohol levels far be-
low the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or
use public transportation. Drinking coffee or
taking a cold shower will not make you so- ber.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and re- action time. Consult with your doctor or
pharmacist before driving while under the in- fluence of any of these medications.WARNINGl NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired.Safe driving techniques
E00600301775
Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we recom- mend that you pay extra attention to the fol-
lowing:

CAUTIONlAlways confirm the indication lamp goes off
before driving.
If the indication lamp blinks, the operation
mode is put in OFF, and the operation mode is put in OFF once again. It is normal if the
indication lamp goes off. If the indication
lamp blinks again, have the vehicle inspec-
ted at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point as soon as possible.AVAS OFF switch
E00631701094
If the operation mode is put in ON, the
AVAS is automatically turned on.
The AVAS should be turned on while normal
driving.
When driving on the freeway etc., it is possi- ble to turn off the AVAS by pressing the
AVAS OFF switch.
When pressing the AVAS OFF switch, the audible alarm does not sound and the AVAS
OFF indicator illuminates.
When pressing the AVAS OFF switch once
again, the AVAS is activated and the AVAS
OFF indicator goes off.WARNINGl Never turn the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System (AVAS) off if there is a possibility
that pedestrians pass by.NOTEl If the operation mode is put in OFF, while
the AVAS has been turned off, and the oper-
ation mode is put in ON once again, the
AVAS is activated.
l If the AVAS OFF switch is continuously
pressed after the AVAS is turned off, the in-
correct operation prevention function is trig-
gered and the system turns on again.Braking
E00607003137
All the parts of the brake system are critical
to safety. We recommend you to have the ve- hicle checked at regular intervals according
to the service booklet.CAUTIONl Avoid driving habits that cause heavy brak-
ing and never “ride” the brakes by resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.
Brake system
The service brake is divided into two brake
circuits. And your vehicle is equipped with
power brakes. If one brake circuit fails, the other is available to stop the vehicle. If you
should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. In these situations,
even if the brake pedal moves down to the very end of its possible stroke or resists being
depressed, keep depressing the brake pedal
down harder and further than usual; stop
driving as soon as possible and have the brake system repaired.

Air conditioning system refrig-erant and lubricant recommen- dations
If the air conditioner seems less effective
than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak.
We recommend you to have the system in-
spected.
[Except for vehicles for Ukraine]
The air conditioning system in your vehicle
must be charged with the refrigerant
HFO-1234yf and the lubricant POE MA68EV.
[Vehicles for Ukraine]
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant
HFC-134a and the lubricant POE MA68EV.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will
cause severe damage which will result in the need to replace your vehicle’s entire air con-
ditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere is not recommended.
We recommend you to recover and recycle the refrigerant for reuse.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioner should be operated for at
least five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This is to prevent the compressor from seizing and to maintain the air condi-
tioner in the best operating condition.
Air purifier
E00708400718
An air filter has been incorporated into this air conditioner so that dirt and dust are
cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability
to clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen and dirt. For the maintenance interval,
refer to the “SERVICE BOOKLET”.NOTEl Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioner can lead to reduction of serv-
ice life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is lower than normal or when the
windscreen or windows start to fog up easi- ly, replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked.Remote Climate Control*
E00735401087
You can run the air conditioner in advance ofusing the vehicle.
For details, refer to “MITSUBISHI Remote
control: Remote Climate Control” on page 3-24.
Heating
E00733901062
When heating, the engine starts running be-
cause the heating system uses the heat of en-
gine coolant.
On vehicles with electric heater, it can de-
crease the number of times engine starting because electrical power stored in the drive battery is also used when heating.NOTEl If you want to stop the engine running for
heating, select the EV priority mode before operating the air conditioner. Refer to “EV
switch” on page 7-25.LW/MW/FM radio/CD
player* E00708503387
The audio system can only be used when theoperation mode of the power switch is in ON
or ACC.
