WARNING
 Never stop Plug-in Hybrid EV System
during running except in emergency. The
effectiveness of the brake becomes very
poor and the steering wheel becomes very
heavy, which can easily lead to an acci-
dent.
NOTE
 Do not operate the power switch during run-
ning except in emergency. If you have to stop
Plug-in Hybrid EV System in emergency
during running, continue to press the power
switch for three seconds or longer or press
the power switch three times or more
quickly. Plug-in Hybrid EV System stops,
the operation mode turns to ACC, and the
selector lever position shifts to the “P” posi-
tion at very slow speed.
 If you press the power switch when the
selector lever position is other than “P” posi-
tion while your vehicle is stopped, the selec-
tor lever position automatically shifts to “P”
position, Plug-in Hybrid EV System stops,
and the power mode turns to “OFF”.
 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, 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 Authorised Service Point.

not operating properly
NOTE
NOTE
 Do not insert into the key slot anything other
than the keyless operation key. This could
cause damage or a malfunction.
 Remove the object or additional key from the
keyless operation key before inserting the
key into the key slot. The vehicle may not be
able to receive the registered ID code from
the registered key. Therefore, the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System may not start and the
operation mode may not change.
