E00600102220
For economical driving, there are some tech-nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is aproperly adjusted engine. In order to achievelonger life of the vehicle and the most eco-nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervalsin accordance with the service standards.Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gasand noise are highly influenced by personaldriving habits as well as the particular operat-ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear ofbrakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduceenvironmental pollution.Av o i d d r i v i n g w h e r e t h e a c c e l e r a t o r p e d a l i spushed way down, such as for unnecessarilysudden starts, acceleration and deceleration.Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal.Observe the speed limit and keep the speed asconstant as possible while driving.
Parking for a long period with the ready indi-cator illuminated will shorten the cruisingrange.At higher the vehicle speed, more drive bat-tery is consumed. Avoid driving at full speed.Even a slight release of the accelerator pedalwill save a significant amount of drive bat-tery.Check the tyre inflation pressures at regularintervals. Low tyre inflation pressureincreases road resistance and fuel consump-tion. In addition, low tyre pressures adverselyaffect tyre wear and driving stability.Do not drive with unnecessary articles in theluggage compartment. Especially during citydriving where frequent starting and stoppingis necessary, the increased weight of the vehi-cle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Also
avoid driving with unnecessary luggage orcarriers, etc., on the roof; the increased airresistance will increase fuel consumption.To o m u c h c o o l i n g / h e a t i n g c a n a ff e c t t h ecruising range, so maintain an appropriatetemperature to extend the cruising range.
E00600200070
Drunk driving is one of the most frequentcauses of accidents.Yo u r d r i v i n g a b i l i t y c a n b e s e r i o u s l y i m p a i r e deven with blood alcohol levels far below thelegal minimum. If you have been drinking,don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or usepublic transportation. Drinking coffee or tak-ing a cold shower will not make you sober.Similarly, prescription and nonprescriptiondrugs affect your alertness, perception andreaction time. Consult with your doctor orpharmacist before driving while under theinfluence of any of these medications.

Braking7-26 Starting and driving

E00607002983
All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. We recommend you to have thevehicle checked at regular intervals accordingto the service booklet.The service brake is divided into two brakecircuits. And your vehicle is equipped withpower brakes. If one brake circuit fails, theother is available to stop the vehicle. If yourvehicle should lose the power assist for somereason, the brakes will still work. In these sit-uations, even if the brake pedal moves downto the very end of its possible stroke or resists
being depressed, keep depressing the brakepedal down harder and further than usual;stop driving as soon as possible and have thebrake system repaired.The brake warning lamp illuminates to indi-cate a fault in the braking system. A warningis also displayed on the multi information dis-play. Refer to “Brake warning lamp” and“Brake warning display” on page 6-37, 6-39.Check the brake system while driving at alow speed immediately after starting, espe-cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv-ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, orafter the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, drythe brakes out by driving slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal.
zIf the AVAS OFF switch is continuouslypressed after the AVAS is turned off, theincorrect operation prevention functionworks and then the system returns to turningon.
Braking
CAUTIONzAv o i d d r i v i n g h a b i t s t h a t c a u s e h e a v y b r a k -ing and never “ride” the brakes by restingyour foot on the brake pedal while driving.It causes brake overheating and fade.
Brake system
NOTE
WA R N I N GzDo not turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EVSystem while your vehicle is in motion. Ifyou turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys-tem while driving, the power assistancefor the braking system will stop workingand your brakes will not work effectively.zIf the power assist is lost or if either brakehydraulic system stops working properly,have your vehicle checked immediately.
Warn i ng d is p l a y When brakes are wet
When driving downhill
WA R N I N GzDo not leave any obje
cts near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it;doing so could prevent the full pedalstroke that would be necessary in anemergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe operated freely at all times. Make surethe floor mat is securely held in place.CAUTIONzPut the selector lever to “B” position accord-ing to the grade of a slope or the speed in along downward slope, and use the regenera-tive brake together. If you depress the brake pedal and slowingdown is repeated frequently, the foot brakemay be overheated and effectiveness mayworsen.

Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant willcause severe damage which will result in theneed to replace your vehicle’s entire air con-ditioning system. New regulations in supportof the Australian Government’s Ozone Pro-tection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Man-agement Act 1989 became effective inJanuary 2005. To ensure your vehicle servic-ing and repairs conform with requirements,the air conditioning system should beinspected and maintained by a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorised Service Point.The air conditioner should be operated for atleast five minutes each week, even in coldweather. This is to prevent poor lubrication ofthe compressor internal parts and to maintainthe air conditioner in the best operating con-dition.

E01000404039
The engine oil used has a significant effect onthe engine’s performance, service life andstartability. Be sure to use oil of the recom-mended quality and appropriate viscosity.All engines consume a certain amount of oilduring normal operation. Therefore, it isimportant to check the oil level at regularintervals or before starting a long trip.1. Park the car on a horizontal surface.2. Switch off the engine.3. Wait a few minutes.4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with aclean cloth.5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oillevel, which should always be within therange indicated7. If the oil level is below the specified limit,remove the cap located on the cylinderhead cover and add enough oil to raise thelevel to within the specified range. Do notoverfill to avoid engine damage. Be sureto use the specified engine oil and do notmix various types of oil.8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4to 6.
zSelect engine oil of the proper SAE vis-cosity number according to the atmos-pheric temperature.SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 5W-40engine oils can only be used if they meetACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or A5/B5 and APISG (or higher) specifications.zUse engine oil conforming to the follow-ing classification:•API classification: “For service SG” orhigher•ILSAC certificated oil•ACEA classification:“For service A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4, orA5/B5”
