E00626001073
This is a device that reduces the possibility ofrear end collisions by the rapid and automaticblinking of the hazard warning lamps to alertvehicles approaching from behind duringsudden braking. When the emergency stopsignal system operates, the hazard warningindicator lamp in the instrument clusterblinks rapidly at the same time.
E00607102489
Environmental conditions can have an effecton braking. During sudden braking whenthere is snow, ice, oil, water etc. on the roadsurface, a skid may occur. In this situation,steering control and braking effectiveness isreduced and the stopping distance isincreased. The vehicle may also go into anuncontrolled spin.The ABS helps prevent the wheels from lock-ing during braking, thus maintaining direc-
tional stability, ensuring controllability andproviding optimum braking force.zAlways maintain the same distance fromthe vehicle in front of you as you wouldfor a vehicle not equipped with ABS.Compared with vehicles not fitted withABS, your vehicle may require a longerstopping distance in the following cases:•Driving on gravel or snow-coveredroads.• Driving with snow traction device (tyrechains) installed.•Driving on roads where the road surfaceis pitted or has other differences in sur-face height.• Driving on bumpy roads or other poordriving surfaces.
zOperation of ABS is not restricted to situ-ations where brakes are applied suddenly.This system may also operate to preventwheel lock when you are driving overmanholes, steel road-work plates, or thevehicle is driven over steps or level differ-ences in the road, road markings, or othersurfaces which are difficult for the wheelsto grip.

E00615500374
This system operates when you are backingthe vehicle. It uses corner and back sensors todetect an obstacle and the information screenin the multi information display and thebuzzer to inform you of the approximate dis-tance to the obstacle.
E00615601473
The detection areas of the corner and backsensors are limited to those shown in theillustration. Moreover, the sensors are unableto detect low or thin objects or objects nearthe rear bumper. Thus, make sure to check thesurroundings as you operate the vehicle in asafe manner.There are two corner sensors (A) at the cor-ners of the rear bumper, and two back sensors(B) in the centre of the rear bumper.
•When passing a road section where thenumber of lanes increases/decreases ormultiple lanes are crossing each other.•When the lane is marked by double or oth-erwise special lines.•When driving on a winding or rough road.•When driving on a sli
ppery road covered by
rain water, snow, ice, etc.•When passing through a place where thebrightness suddenly ch
anges, like the inlet
or outlet of a tunnel.•When turning steep curves.•When the road surface is reflecting the lightshining from the direction opposite to therunning direction.•Vehicle largely lurches when it is runningover steps or other irregularities of the roadsurface.•When the headlamp illumination is inade-quate because of contaminated or deterio-rated lenses or improperly aimedheadlamps.•When the vehicle is leaning much to oneside due to heavy l
uggage on it or improp-
erly adjusted tyre pressures.•When oncoming vehicl
es’ headlamps shine
the LDW camera.•When the vehicle is equipped with non-standard tyres (incl
uding excessively worn
tyres), uses snow tr
action device (tyre
chains), or has non-specified componentssuch as a modified suspension.CAUTION
•When the windscreen is covered with rainwater, snow, dust, etc.
zFollow the instructions given below to keepyour LDW in good operating conditions. •Always keep the windscreen clean.•Avoid applying a str
ong shock or pressure
to the LDW camera. Do not attempt to dis-assemble it.•Disturbing the installation of the LDWcamera or its removal is under no circum-stances permitted. The camera has beenprecisely oriented at the factory.• Do not put anything like a sticker on thearea in front of the LDW camera lens of thewindscreen.•Use only MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENU-INE Parts when replacing the windscreenwipers.

CAUTION
CAUTIONzThe reversing sensor system assists you indetermining the approximate distancebetween the vehicle and an obstacle locatedbehind the vehicle. It has limitations in termsof detectable areas and objects, and may notproperly detect some objects. Therefore, donot place excessive confidence in the revers-ing sensor system, and operate the vehicle ascarefully as you would
a vehicle without this
system.zMake sure to check the surroundings withyour own eyes to ensure safety. Do not oper-ate the vehicle by relying on the reversingsensor system alone.

Depending on whether the vehicle isequipped with a towbar, you can change thereversing sensor system between the standardmode and the towbar mode. The towbar modechanges the system to exclude the area inwhich the towbar is mounted from the detec-tion areas.The detection areas are within approximately60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm(B) from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) orless from the ground surface, excluding thearea approximately 10 cm (D) from theground surface.
The detection areas are within approximately60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm(B) from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) orless from the ground surface, excluding thearea approximately 10 cm (D) from theground surface.

NOTE
zIf the rear bumper has been exposed to animpact, the corner or back sensors may failand prevent the system from functioningproperly. Have the vehicle inspected at aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorised ServicePoint.zThe sensors do not detect objects located inthe area directly below or near the bumper. Ifthe height of an object is lower than themounted position of the corner or back sen-sors, the sensors may not continue detectingit even if they detected it initially.CAUTIONzThe reversing sensor
system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:•The sensors or surroundings are coveredwith ice, snow, or mud.•The sensors are frozen.•The system receives ultrasonic noise fromother sources (the horns
of other vehicles,
motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pouringrain, splashing water,
snow traction device
(tyre chains), etc.).•The sensors are extremely hot or cold(while the vehicle is parked for a longperiod of time under a blazing sun or incold weather).

zDo not drive on a flooded road. If youdrive on a flooded road, not only the Plug-in Hybrid EV System stops but also a fail-ure like electric leakage or short circuitmay occur.If you inevitably had to run on a floodedroad and the vehicle was exposed towater, be sure to have your vehicleinspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point.zIf there is water on the brakes after driv-ing through puddles or washing the vehi-cle, resulting in temporarily ineffectivebrakes. In such cases, lightly depress thebrake pedal to see if the brakes operateproperly. If they do not, lightly depressthe pedal several times while driving inorder to dry the brake pads.zWhen driving in rain or on a road withmany puddles a layer of water may formbetween the tyres and the road surface.This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistanceon the road, resulting in loss of steeringstability and braking capability.To c o p e w i t h t h i s , o b s e r v e t h e f o l l o w i n gitems:
zWhen driving on a snow-covered or fro-zen road, it is recommended that you usesnow tyres or snow traction device (tyrechains).Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Snowtraction device (tyre chains)” sections.zAv o i d h i g h - s p e e d o p e r a t i o n , s u d d e nacceleration, abrupt brake application andsharp cornering.zDepressing the brake pedal during travelon snowy or icy roads may cause tyreslippage and skidding. When tractionbetween the tyres and the road is reducedthe wheels may skid and the vehicle can-not readily be brought to a stop by con-ventional braking techniques. Brakingwill differ, depending upon whether youhave anti-lock brake system (ABS). Asyour vehicle is equipped with ABS, brakeby pressing the brake pedal hard, andkeeping it pressed.zAllow extra distance between your vehi-cle and the vehicle in front of you, andavoid sudden braking.
zAccumulation of ice on the braking sys-tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pullaway from a standstill slowly after con-firming safety around the vehicle.
Drive as slow as possible when driving onbumpy or rutted roads.This vehicle is intended for driving mainlyon roads with firm surface.4WD system makes possible driving on roadswithout special coverage, on flat and firmsurface. Please, remember that off-road abil-ity of your vehicle is limited. Your vehicle isnot intended for driving in heavy off-road,overcoming the rugged terrain, deep ruts, etc.
On a flooded road (a)Drive your vehicle at a slow speed.(b)Do not drive on worn tyres.
(c)Always maintain the specified tyre infla-tion pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen road
CAUTIONzDo not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. Ifthe wheels break free of the ice, the vehiclecould suddenly start
moving and possibly
cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
CAUTIONzThe impact on tyres and/or wheels whendriving on a bumpy or rutted road can dam-age the tyre and/or wheel.

It is recommended that snow chains are car-ried in snow regions and fitted when requiredto the front wheels in accardance with themanufacture’s instructions.On 4WD vehicles in which the driving poweris distributed preferentially to the frontwheels, ensure that the tyre chains are fittedon the front.The tyres fitted to your vehicle as originalequipment allow you to fit tyre chains if theyare required. When replacing your tyres,check with the tyre distributor or manufac-turer if the fitting of tyre chains will be detri-mental to the tyres being purchased.
Always follow the chain manufacturer’sinstructions when fitting the chains.

1. Lift the wiper arm off the windscreen.
CAUTIONzObserve permissible maximum speed foryour snow tyres and the legal speed limit.NOTE
zThe laws and regula
tions concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, requi
red use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu-lations in the area you intend to drive.zIf flange nuts are used on your vehicle,change to tapered nuts when steel wheels areused.
Ty r e c h a i n s
WA R N I N GzDO NOT use a jack when fitting thechains, as in the conditions, the tyres mayslip on the ic
y road causing the vehicle to
slip off the jack.CAUTIONzChoose a clear straight stretch of road whereyou can pull off and still be seen while youare fitting the chains.zDo not fit chains before you need them. Thiswill wear out your tyres and the road surface.zAfter driving around 100-300 metres, stopand retighten the chains.zCare should be taken with extremes of steer-ing lock to prevent possible contact betweenthe chains and the vehicle body.zDrive carefully and do not exceed 30 km/h.Remember, fitting chains is not going to stopaccidents from happening.zWhen tyre chains are installed, take care thatthey do not damage the disc wheel or body.zAn aluminium wheel can be damaged by atyre chain while driving. When fitting a tyrechain on an aluminium wheel, take care thatany part of the chai
n and fitting cannot be
brought into contact with the wheel.
zRemove the wheel covers before installing atyre chain, otherwise they may be damagedby the tyre chain. (Refer to page 9-18.)zWhen installing or removing the tyre chains,take care that hands and other parts of yourbody are not injured by the sharp edges ofthe vehicle body.zInstall the chains only on the front tyres andtighten them as tightly
as possible with the
ends securely fastened.
