It is important. Please read it carefully. Main features WARNING l Always pay special attention to pedestrians. Even if the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) sounds, pedestrians may not notice your vehicle. Refer to “Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS)” on page 5-12. Traction battery E00202800034 WARNING l A sealed lithium ion high voltage battery is adopted for i-MiEV. If the lithium ion battery is improperly disposed of, there is a risk of severe burns and electrical shock that may result in serious injury or death and there is also a risk of environmental damage. E00202700033 l Energy required for driving is only electricil l l l l l 02 ty and fuel supply is not required. The traction battery and electric motor unit are mounted outside the passenger compartment. In this way, passenger space is obtained for riding of four adults. With the high performance motor, noise and vibration during driving are greatly limited and powerful acceleration can also be obtained. With regenerative braking, the traction battery is automatically charged when the accelerator is released. The vehicle can be charged from general power outlets (rated AC 220-240 V). Charge with the quick charger for i-MiEV is also available. The creeping behaviour occurs in i-MiEV like a vehicle with automatic transmission. Regenerative braking It is equivalent to engine braking of an engine vehicle. If you step off the accelerator pedal during driving, motion energy is converted into electric energy using the motor as a power generator. In this conversion, braking force is generated and converted electric energy is charged in the traction battery. Regenerative braking is stronger in the order of the selector lever position of “C” (COMFORT), “D” (DRIVE), “B” (BRAKE). Put the selector lever to the “B” (BRAKE) or “C” (COMFORT) position according to the driving condition. “B”: Strong regenerative braking (For downhill) “C”: Weak regenerative braking (For long cruising) l It is the battery to operate the motor (electric l l motor unit) and the air conditioning. In addition to the traction battery, i-MiEV has the auxiliary battery to operate lamps, wipers, etc. Compact, light-weight lithium ion battery with high energy density is used for the traction battery. The lithium ion battery has the following characteristics. Please read this carefully and treat the battery paying attention to the following: Characteristics l It is not necessary to consume the battery completely before charging. l The capacity is gradually degraded depending on time used and operating conditions. This will result in a decrease from the vehicle’s initial cruising range. l The performance may be changed due to the outside temperature. At low temperature, in particular, the cruising range is short and the charging time is long, compared to operation at normal temperature. OHAE12E5 General information l If l you store your vehicle at an extremely high or low temperature, the battery capacity may be lowered. The battery is gradually discharged without use and the battery charge is lowered. Precautions for operation l Do not store your vehicle with the energy level gauge showing 0 bars. Doing so could damage the traction battery. The battery may have to be replaced depending on the low capacity. l If you do not use your vehicle for a long time, please charge the traction battery to the full every 3 months so that the energy level gauge may not be 0 bars. l MITSUBISHI MOTORS collects traction batteries. If you scrap your vehicle, please consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. l Since l the air conditioning (cooling or heating) consumes power of the traction battery, its operation results in a shorter cruising range. Maintain an appropriate temperature. Put the selector lever to the “B” (BRAKE) or “C” (COMFORT) position according to the road condition. To charge the traction battery with appropriate use of regenerative braking can increase the cruising range. NOTE l The progress of the battery capacity loss de- Installation of accessories E00200301003 We recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. l The installation of accessories, optional parts, etc., should only be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in your country, and in accordance with the guidelines and warnings contained within the documents accompanying this vehicle. l Installing electric components incorrectly could lead to a fire. See the “Modification/alterations to the electrical systems” section within this owner’s manual. l Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the vehicle without an external antenna may cause electrical system interference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation. l Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifications must not be used. Refer to the “Specifications” section for information regarding wheel and tyre sizes. Important points! pends on the vehicle usage and the environment. We recommend to do regular charging from 2 bars or less to charge completely at least once in 3 months. The procedure lets the battery remaining indicator adjusted automatically. Due to large number of accessory and replacement parts of different manufactures available in the market, it is not possible, not only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS, but also for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point, to check whether the attachment or installation of such parts affects the overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle. Cruising range E00202900019 l Even if the charge level is the same, the cruising range may vary depending on the driving conditions. Since driving at high speed or climbing on a hill requires higher consumption of the traction battery than usual, the cruising range is shortened. OHAE12E5 03 General information Even when such parts are officially authorized, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or through the execution of the part in an officially approved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attachment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehicle has not been affected. Consider also that there basically exists no liability on the part of the appraiser or the official. Maximum safety can only be ensured with parts recommended, sold and fitted or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS authorized Service Point (MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine replacement parts and MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories). The same also pertains to modifications of MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the production specifications. For safety reasons, do not attempt any modifications other than those that follow the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS authorized Service Point. 04 Modification/alterations to the electrical systems E00200400414 MITSUBISHI MOTORS CORPORATION has always manufactured safe, high quality vehicles.

There are two types of charging: regular charging and quick charging. Regular charging is performed through the onboard charger using rated AC 220-240 V outlet as the power source. The rated AC voltage may differ from country to country. Quick charging is performed with the quick charger compatible with i-MiEV. NOTE l The auxiliary battery is automatically chargl ed while the ready indicator is illuminated or during charge for the traction battery. Refer to “Ready indicator” on page 4-09. If the auxiliary battery is flat, the electric motor unit cannot be started. Also, the charging cannot be started. Refer to “Emergency starting” on page 7-02. l WARNING l l 1-02 WARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire due to electric leak, always use an outlet protected by a residual current detector, rated for amperage equal to or greater than the value specified by MITSUBISHI MOTORS, and that is connected to a dedicated branch circuit. If the circuit is shared, and another electrical device is being used at the same time the vehicle is charging, the breaker may trip and the circuit may cause adverse interference on MCB (Moulded Circuit Board) and household electrical appliances such as TVs and audio systems. It is possible to charge even in rain or snow. However, be sure to pay attention to the following: • Never connect or disconnect the charge connector with a wet hand to prevent an electric shock. • Never make the connection wet when charging. Never charge in bad weather such as heavy rain, strong wind and with the risk OHAE12E5 of lightning. Also, do not keep opening the inner lid and the charging lid or do not leave the EV charging cable in outdoor areas. Doing so could lead to water entering the charge connector or the charge port, resulting in fire or an electric shock. If the connected part of the charging plug has been buried in snow while charging, turn off the hand switch or the breaker connected with the outlet first, then remove the snow and disconnect the charging plug. If your vehicle body has been buried in snow while charging, remove the snow and then disconnect the charge connector. CAUTION l Do not attempt to perform a jump start on the auxiliary battery at the same time that the traction battery is being charged. Doing so may damage the vehicle or charging cable and could cause injury. Refer to “Emergency starting” on page 7-02. NOTE l Repeatedly l performing only quick charging may reduce the battery capacity. In usual charge, regular charging is recommended. To maintain the capacity of the traction battery, the following is recommended: • Fully charge the vehicle in regular charging every two weeks. Charging l l l • Do not repeat charging near the full charge level. The quick charging gives priority when the regular charging and the quick charging are performed at the same time. At this time, the regular charging will be stopped. The progress of the battery capacity loss depends on the vehicle usage and the environment. We recommend to do regular charging from 2 segments or less to charge completely at least once in 3 months. The procedure lets the battery remaining indicator adjusted automatically. In the event of an electrical power outage while charging, charging restarts automatically with the restoration of electricity. 1 Guideline for charging time E08300700036 The regular charging time (from 1 bar of energy level gauge to full charge) is different according to the current value. l 230 V/10 A → about 8 hours l 230 V/8 A → about 10 hours About 30 minutes with quick charger (About 80 % of full charge) NOTE l The charging time may vary depending on the battery condition, operation environment of the vehicle and specification of the quick charger.

The front seat belts have a pretensioner system. These belts are used the same way as a conventional seat belt. Refer to “Seat belt pretensioner system and force limiter system” on page 3-11 WARNING l Always place the shoulder belt over your 3 l l l l 3-08 shoulder and across your chest. Never put it behind you or under your arm. One seat belt should be used by only one person. Doing otherwise can be dangerous. The seat belt will provide its wearer with maximum protection if the recliner seatback is placed in fully upright position. When the seatback is reclined, there is greater risk that the passenger will slide under the belt, especially in a forward impact accident, and may be injured by the belt or by striking the instrument panel or seatbacks. Seat belts should always be worn by every adult who drives or rides in this vehicle, and by all children who are tall enough to wear seat belts properly. Other children should always use proper child restraint systems. Remove any twists when using the belt. OHAE12E5 l l l l No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack. Never hold a child in your arms or on your lap when riding in this vehicle, even if you are wearing your seat belt. To do so risks severe or fatal injury to the child in a collision or sudden stop. Always adjust the belt to a snug fit. Always wear the lap portion of the belt over your hips. 3-point type seat belt (with emergency locking mechanism)* E00404901504 This type of belt requires no length adjustment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the movement of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt automatically locks to hold the wearer’s body. Seat and seat belts NOTE l You can check if the belt locks by pulling it forward quickly. To fasten 1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding the latch plate. NOTE l When the seat belts cannot be pulled out in a locked condition, pull the belts once forcefully and then return them.

OHAE12E5 Supplemental restraint system (SRS) - airbag E00407202026 The information for SRS airbags includes important information concerning the driver’s and front passenger’s airbags, the side airbags and the curtain airbags. The SRS driver and front passenger airbags are designed to supplement the primary protection of the driver and front passenger side seat belt systems by providing those occupants with protection against head and chest injuries in certain moderate-to-severe frontal collisions. The SRS side airbags are designed to supplement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and front passenger with protection against chest, abdomen and hip injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions. The SRS curtain airbags are designed to supplement properly worn seat belts and provide the driver and passenger with protection against head injuries in certain moderate-to-severe side impact collisions. The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts. To ensure the maximum protection during all types of collisions and accidents, all occupants, including the passengers as well as the driver, must wear their seat belts. Seat and seat belts How the Supplemental Restraint System works 4- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch The SRS includes the following components: 5- Side airbag modules 6- Curtain airbag modules 1- Airbag module (Driver) 2- Airbag module (Passenger) 3- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp WARNING l E00407301600 The airbags will operate only when the electric motor switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. The airbags deployment produces a sudden, loud noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but these conditions are not injurious, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. People with respiratory problems may feel some temporary irritation from chemicals used to produce the deployment; open the windows after airbag deployment, if safe to do so. The airbags deflate very rapidly after deployment, so there is little danger of obscured vision. l l IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROPERLY SEATED. A driver or front passenger too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured. Airbags inflate very fast, and with great force. If the driver and front passenger are not properly seated and restrained, the airbags may not protect you properly, and could cause serious or fatal injuries when it inflates. Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or lean head or chest close to the steering wheel or instrument panel. Do not put feet or legs on or against the instrument panel. Place all infants and small children in the rear seat and properly restrained using an appropriate child restraint system. The rear seat is the safest place for infants and children. CAUTION l Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed. In certain situations, contact with inflating airbags can result in abrasions, light cuts, bruises, and the like. OHAE12E5 3-21 3 Seat and seat belts WARNING l Infants and small children should never be unrestrained, stand up against the instrument panel or be held in your arms or on your lap. They could be seriously injured or killed in a collision, including when the airbag inflates. They should be properly seated in the rear seat in an appropriate child restraint system.

A typical condition is shown in the illustration. 1- Head-on collision with a solid wall at a speed of approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) or higher 2- Moderate-to-severe frontal impact within the shaded area between the arrows Because frontal collisions can easily move you out of position, it is important to always properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a safe distance from the steering wheel and instrument panel during the initial stages of airbag deployment. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful one, and can possibly cause serious or fatal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your vehicle are your primary means of protection in a collision. The airbags are designed to provide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occupants, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts. The front airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when… With certain types of frontal collisions, the vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb the shock to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle body’s front area may deform significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the front airbags may not deploy irrespective of the deformation and damage to the vehicle body. Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration. 1- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow objects. 2- Vehicle slides under the rear body of a truck 3- Oblique frontal impacts Because the front airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts. The front airbags will deploy if the severity of the impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) collision when impacting straight into a solid wall that does not move or deform. If the severity of the impact is below the above threshold level, the front airbags may not deploy. However, this threshold speed will be considerably higher if the vehicle strikes an object that absorbs the impact by either deforming or moving (for example, another stationary vehicle, pole or a guard rail). OHAE12E5 3-25 3 Seat and seat belts The front airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when… The front airbags are not designed to deploy in conditions where they cannot typically provide protection to the occupant. Such conditions are shown in the illustration. Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration. WARNING l l 3 1- Rear end collisions 2- Side collisions 3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof Because the front airbags do not protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts. The front airbags MAY DEPLOY when… The front airbags may deploy if the bottom of the vehicle suffers a moderate-to-severe impact (undercarriage damage). 3-26 Do not attach anything to the steering wheel’s padded cover, such as badges or accessories. It might strike and injure an occupant if the airbag inflates. Do not set anything on, or attach anything to, the instrument panel above the glove box. It might strike and injure an occupant if the airbag inflates. 1- Collision with an elevated median/island or kerb 2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole 3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and hits the ground Because the front airbags may deploy in certain types of unexpected impacts as shown in the illustration that can easily move you out of position, it is important to always properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a safe distance from the steering wheel and instrument panel during the initial stages of airbag deployment. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful one and can possibly cause serious or fatal injuries if you contact it at this stage. WARNING l Do not attach accessories to, or put them l OHAE12E5 in front of, the windscreen. These objects could restrict the airbag inflation, or strike and injure an occupant if the airbags inflate. Do not put packages, pets or other objects between the airbags and the driver or front passenger. It could affect airbag performance, or could cause injury when the airbag inflates. Seat and seat belts The label shown here is attached to the seatbacks with a side airbag. WARNING l Right l after the airbag inflation, several airbag system components will be hot. Do not touch these components. There is a danger of being burnt. The airbag system is designed to work only once. Once the airbags have deployed, they will not work again. They must promptly be replaced, and we recommend you to have the entire airbag system inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. Side airbag system E00407600518 The side airbags (A) are contained in the driver and front passenger seatbacks. The side airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the vehicle that is impacted, even with no passenger in the front seat. Deployment of side airbags and curtain airbags E00407701457 The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when… The side airbags and curtain airbags are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate-tosevere side impact to the middle of the passenger compartment. The typical condition is shown in the illustration. 3 Curtain airbag system E00409100562 The curtain airbags are contained in the front pillars and roof side rail. The curtain airbag is designed to inflate only on the side of the vehicle that is impacted, even with no passenger in the front seat or rear seat. The seat belts in your vehicle are your primary means of protection in a collision. The side airbags and curtain airbags are designed to provide additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occupants, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts. OHAE12E5 3-27 Seat and seat belts The side airbags and curtain airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when… With certain types of side collisions, the vehicle’s body structure is designed to absorb the shock to help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle body’s side area may deform significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy irrespective of the deformation and damage to the vehicle body. Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustration. 3 3- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow object The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when… The side airbags and curtain airbags are not designed to deploy in conditions where they cannot usually provide protection to the occupant.

Seat belts should always be worn properly, and the driver and passenger should sit well back and upright without leaning against the window or door. 3-28 OHAE12E5 Seat and seat belts WARNING l The side airbags and curtain airbags inflate with great force. The driver and passenger should not put their arms out the window, and should not lean against the door, in order to reduce risk of serious or possible fatal injury from the deploying side airbags and curtain airbags. WARNING l l l Do not place stickers, labels or additional trim on the seatback of either front seat. They could interfere with proper side airbag inflation. Do not install seat covers on seats with side airbags. Do not re-cover seats that have side airbags. This could interfere with proper side airbag inflation. Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other device or object around the part where the curtain airbags (B) activate such as on the windscreen, side door glass, front and rear pillars and roof side or assist grips. When the curtain airbags inflate, the microphone or other device or object will be hurled with great force or the curtain airbags may not activate correctly, resulting in death or serious injury. WARNING l l l WARNING l Do l not allow any rear seat occupant to hold onto the seatback of either front seat, in order to reduce risk of injury from the deploying side airbags. Special care should be taken with children. Do not place any objects near or in front of the seatback of either front seat. They could interfere with proper side airbag inflation, and also could cause injury if thrown free by side airbag deployment. Never install a rearward facing child restraint in the front passenger seat. A forward facing child restraint should be used in the rear seat whenever possible. If a forward facing child restraint must be used in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat to the most rearward position, and ensure that the child stays in the child restraint and away from the door. Do not allow the child to lean against or close to the door even if the child is seated in a child restraint system. The child’s head should also not be leaned against or be close to the area where the side airbags and curtain airbags are located. It is dangerous if the side airbags and curtain airbags inflate. Failure to follow all of these instructions could lead to serious or fatal injury to the child. We recommend work around and on the side airbags and curtain airbags system to be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. SRS warning lamp E00407801591 There is a Supplemental Restraint System (“SRS”) warning lamp on the instrument panel. The system checks itself and the lamp tells you if there is a problem.

In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most economical operation, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards. Too much cooling/heating can affect the cruising range, so maintain an appropriate temperature to extend the cruising range. Starting and acceleration Avoid driving with the accelerator pedal is pushed 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. Driving, alcohol and drugs E00600200070 Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even with blood alcohol levels far below 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 sober. Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your alertness, perception and reaction time. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist before driving while under the influence of any of these medications. WARNING Idling Parking for a long period with the ready indicator illuminated will shorten the cruising range. 5 l Speed At higher vehicle speed, more traction battery is consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator pedal will save a significant amount of traction battery. Tyre inflation pressure Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increases road resistance. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driving stability. Cargo loads Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the luggage compartment. 5-02 OHAE12E5 NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE. Your perceptions are less accurate, your reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired. Starting and driving Safe driving techniques E00600300635 Driving safety and protection against injury cannot be fully ensured. However, we recommend that you pay extra attention to the following: Seat belts Before starting the vehicle, make sure that you and your passengers have fastened your seat belts. Floor mats WARNING l Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by correctly laying floor mats that are suitable for the vehicle. To prevent the floor mats from slipping out of position, securely retain them using the hook etc. Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal or laying one floor mat on top of another can obstruct pedal operation and lead to a serious accident. Carrying children in the vehicle l Never leave your vehicle unattended with the l l key and children inside the vehicle. Children may play with the driving controls and this could lead to an accident. Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance with the laws and regulations, and for maximum protection in case of an accident.

The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) is a device that uses sound to alert pedestrians of the presence of the vehicle. The system operates when the vehicle speed is about 35 km/h (22 mph) or less. The sound starts when the AVAS is operated in the following conditions. l When the vehicle speed is about 3 km/h (2 mph) or less and the brake pedal is not depressed. l When the vehicle speed is about 3 km/h (2 mph) to 35 km/h (22 mph). 5 5-12 The sound does not start in the following cases. l When the vehicle speed is about 3 km/h (2 mph) or less and the brake pedal is depressed. l When the vehicle speed is about 35 km/h (22 mph) or more. l When the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. l When the indication lamp (A) in the AVAS OFF switch illuminates. OHAE12E5 Under normal conditions, the indication lamp (A) illuminates when the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes off a few seconds later. WARNING l Even if the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys- tem (AVAS) sounds, pay special attention to pedestrians. Pedestrians may not notice the oncoming vehicle, which may cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury or death. Starting and driving If pressing the AVAS OFF switch once again, the AVAS is activated. CAUTION l Always confirm the indication lamp (A) goes off before driving. If the indication lamp (A) blinks, the electric motor switch is turned to the “LOCK” position and the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position again. It is not abnormal if the indication lamp (A) goes off. If the indication lamp (A) blinks again, have the vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point as soon as possible. l If the AVAS OFF switch is continuously pressed after the AVAS is turned off, the incorrect operation prevention function works and the system turns on again. AVAS OFF switch E00631700013 If the electric motor switch is turned on, the AVAS is automatically turned on. The AVAS should be turned on while normal driving. When driving on the freeway etc., it is possible to turn off the AVAS by pressing the AVAS OFF switch. If pressing the AVAS OFF switch, the audible alarm does not sound and indication lamp (A) illuminates. WARNING l 5 Never turn the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) off if you are in a place where pedestrians might be present. NOTE l If the electric motor switch is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position while the AVAS has been turned off, and the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position again, the AVAS is activated. OHAE12E5 5-13 Starting and driving Braking WARNING E00607001830 All the parts of the brake system are critical to safety. We recommend you to have the vehicle checked at regular intervals according to the service booklet. CAUTION l Avoid driving habits that cause heavy braking and never “ride” the brakes by resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving. It causes brake overheating and fading. Brake system 5 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. l If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic system stops working properly, have your vehicle checked immediately. l Warning lamp The brake warning lamp illuminates to indicate a fault in the braking system. Refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 4-09. When brakes are wet Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately after starting, especially when the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally. A film of water can be formed on the brake discs or brake drums and prevent normal braking after driving in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal. When driving downhill It is important to take advantage of regenerative braking by shifting to the “B” (BRAKE) position while driving on steep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating. WARNING l Do not turn off the electric motor unit while your vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the electric motor unit while driving, the power assistance for the braking system will stop working and your brakes will not work effectively. 5-14 WARNING OHAE12E5 Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place. Brake pad and linings l Avoid hard braking situations. l New brakes need to be broken-in by moderate use for the first 200 km (125 miles). The disc brakes are provided with a warning device which emits a shrieking metallic sound while braking if the brake pads have reached their wear limit. If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced immediately. WARNING l Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident. Starting and driving Brake assist system l When the brake assist system is in use, you E00627000174 The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who cannot depress the brake pedal firmly when it is necessary to do so (such as in emergency stop situations) and provides greater braking force. If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force than usual. CAUTION l The brake assist system is not a device designed to exercise braking force greater than its capacity. Make sure to always keep a sufficient distance between vehicles in front of you without relying too much on the brake assist system. l may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in small motions in conjunction with the sound of the ABS operation, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake assist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to firmly depress the brake pedal. You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is depressed suddenly while stationary. This does not indicate a malfunction and the brake assist system is operating normally. E00607101394 The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps prevent the wheels from locking during braking. This helps maintain vehicle drivability and steering wheel handling. Driving hints l Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle l NOTE l l Once l Anti-lock brake system (ABS) the brake assist system is operational, it maintains great braking force even if the brake pedal is lightly released. To stop its operation, completely remove your foot from the brake pedal. The brake assist system may become operational when the brake pedal is fully depressed even if it has not been depressed suddenly. l OHAE12E5 in front of you. Even if your vehicle is equipped with ABS, leave a greater braking distance when: • Driving on gravel or snow-covered roads. • Driving with tyre chains installed. • Driving on uneven road surfaces. Operation of ABS is not restricted to situations where brakes are applied suddenly. This system may also prevent the wheels from locking when you drive over manholes, steel roadwork plates, road markings, or any uneven road surface. When the ABS is activated, you may feel the brake pedal pulsation and the vibrations of the vehicle body and steering wheel. It may also feel as if the pedal resists being pressed. In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in reduced braking performance. An operation noise may be emitted from the bonnet room in the following situations. The sound is associated with checking the operations of the anti-lock brake system. At this time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. These do not indicate a malfunction. • When the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position. 5-15 5 Starting and driving l • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the electric motor is turned on. The ABS can be used after the vehicle has reached a speed over approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops working when the vehicle slows below approximately 5 km/h (3 mph). CAUTION l CAUTION l l The l Under normal conditions, the ABS warning lamp only comes on when the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes off a few seconds later. ABS cannot prevent accidents. It is your responsibility to take safety precautions and to drive carefully. To prevent failure of the ABS, be sure wheels and tyres are of the specified size and the same type. Do not install any aftermarket limitedslip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ABS may stop functioning properly. ABS warning lamp Any of the following indicates that the ABS is not functioning and only the standard brake system is working. (The standard brake system is functioning normally.) If this happens, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible. • When the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position, the warning lamp does not come on or it remains on and does not go off. • The warning lamp comes on while driving E00607201207 5 If the warning lamp illuminates while driving E00607301338 If there is a malfunction in the system, the ABS warning lamp will come on. 5-16 If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe place, put the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position and turn off the electric motor unit. Restart the electric motor unit and check to see whether the lamp goes out after a few minutes driving; if it then remains off during driving, there is no problem. However, if the warning lamp does not disappear, or if it comes on again when the vehicle is driven, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked. OHAE12E5 If the ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp illuminate at the same time The ABS and brake force distribution function may not work, so hard braking could make the vehicle unstable. Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked. NOTE l The warning lamp may be illuminated when the electric motor unit is started while the auxiliary battery voltage is low, but this is not an ABS malfunction. When the traction battery is charged, the auxiliary battery is charged at the same time, and the warning lamp will go out. If the warning lamp does not go out or illuminates from time to time even after the battery is charged, have the vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. Starting and driving After driving on icy roads E00618800176 After driving on snowy or icy roads, remove any snow and ice which may have be left around the wheels. Be careful not to damage the wheel speed sensors (A) or the cables located at each wheel. Front Rear Electric power steering system (EPS) NOTE l During repeated full-lock turning of the steer- E00629200138 The electric power steering system (EPS) uses an electric motor to assist the turning of the steering wheel. The power steering system operates while the electric motor unit is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel. The power steering system has mechanical steering capability in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for some reason, you will still be able to steer your vehicle. If the power assist is lost, you will notice it takes much more effort to steer and that there is much more “free play” in the steering wheel. If this happens, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected. WARNING l Do not stop the electric motor unit while l ing wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking space), a protection function may be activated to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make the steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system has cooled down, the steering action will return to normal. If you turn the steering wheel while the vehicle is stationary with the headlamps on, the headlamps may become dim. This behaviour is not abnormal. The headlamps will return to their original brightness after a short while. Electric power steering system warning lamp Type 1 5 the vehicle is moving. Stopping the electric motor unit would make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident. OHAE12E5 5-17 Starting and driving Active stability control (ASC) Type 2 E00616700429 The Active Stability Control (ASC) takes overall control of the anti-lock brake system, traction control function and stability control function to help maintain the vehicle’s control. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on the anti-lock brake system, traction control function and stability control function. If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning lamp will come on. Under normal conditions, the warning lamp comes on when the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes off a few seconds later. Anti-lock brake system (ABS) ® p. 5-15 Traction control function ® p. 5-18 Stability control function ® p. 5-19 CAUTION l CAUTION 5 l If the warning lamp appears during driv- ing, it may become harder to turn the steering wheel. If the warning lamp appears while driving 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place, put the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position and turn off the electric motor unit. 2. Restart the electric motor unit to check whether the warning lamp goes out; if it then remains off, there is no problem. If the warning lamp does not go out, or it appears again while driving, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected. 5-18 l l Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has limits and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking into account the traffic, road and environmental conditions. Be sure to use the specified type and size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not work properly. Do not install any aftermarket limitedslip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop functioning properly. OHAE12E5 NOTE l An operation noise may be emitted from the l l bonnet room in the following situations. The sound is associated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. These do not indicate a malfunction. • When the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the electric motor is turned on. When the ASC is activated, you may feel a vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whining sound from the bonnet room. This indicates that the system is operating normally. It does not indicate a malfunction. When the anti-lock brake system warning lamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active. Traction control function E00619000087 On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the drive wheels from spinning excessively, thus helping the vehicle to start moving from a stopped condition. It also provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle turns while pressing the acceleration pedal. CAUTION l When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy road, be sure to install snow tyres and drive the vehicle at moderate speeds. Starting and driving Stability control function E00619100088 The stability control function is designed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle on slippery roads or during rapid steering manoeuvres. It works by controlling the electric motor unit output and the brake on each wheel. indication When the ASC is deactivated, the lamp will turn on. To reactivate the ASC, momentarily press the “ASC OFF” switch; the indication lamp is turned off. NOTE l When l NOTE l The stability control function operates at speeds of about 15 km/h (9 mph) or higher. l “ASC OFF” switch E00619200496 The ASC is automatically activated when the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position. You can deactivate the system by pressing down the “ASC OFF” switch for 3 seconds or longer. moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not allow the electric motor speed to increase. In such situations, temporarily turning off the ASC with the “ASC OFF” switch will make it easier to move out your vehicle. Using the “ASC OFF” switch turns off both the stability control function and the traction control function. If you continue to press the “ASC OFF” switch after the ASC is turned off, the “mistaken operation protection function” will activate and the ASC will turn back on. ASC indication lamp or ASC OFF indication lamp E00619300556 - CAUTION l For l safety reasons, the “ASC OFF” switch should be operated when your vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in normal circumstances. OHAE12E5 - ASC indication lamp The indication lamp will blink when the ASC is operating. ASC OFF indication lamp This indication lamp will turn on when the ASC is turned off with the “ASC OFF” switch. CAUTION l When the indication lamp blinks, ASC is operating, which means that the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels are beginning to slip. If this happens, drive slower with less accelerator input. 5-19 5 Starting and driving If the indication lamp illuminates while driving E00624400089 E00631100017 If an abnormal condition occurs in the system, the indication lamp and indication lamp will turn on. CAUTION l The system may be malfunctioning. Stop the vehicle in a safe place, put the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position and turn off the electric motor unit. Restart the electric motor unit and check whether the indication lamp goes out. If they go out, there is no abnormal condition. If they do not go out or appear frequently, it is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected. Cargo loads Towing CAUTION E00609901413 Cargo load precautions l When towing the vehicle with only the front wheels raised off the ground, do not place the electric motor switch in the “ON” position. Placing the electric motor switch in the “ON” position could cause the ASC to operate, resulting in an accident. Note that the correct towing method depends on the vehicle’s drive configuration. For details, refer to “Towing” on page 7-10. CAUTION l Do not load cargo or luggage higher than l the top of the seatback. Be sure that your cargo or luggage cannot move once your vehicle is moving. Having the driver’s vision blocked, and your cargo being thrown inside the cabin if you suddenly have to brake can cause a serious accident or injury. Load heavy cargo or luggage in the front of the vehicle. If the load in the back of the vehicle is too heavy, steering may become unstable. Loading a roof carrier 5 CAUTION l Use a roof carrier that properly fits your l 5-20 OHAE12E5 vehicle. Do not load luggage directly onto the roof. For installation, refer to the instruction manual accompanying the roof carrier. When attaching/removing the roof carrier and loading/removing luggage, do not apply excessive pressure on a single point. Depending on how and where the force is applied, this may cause dents on the vehicle roof. Starting and driving NOTE l We recommend you to use a genuine MITSUBISHI roof carrier. Roof carrier precautions CAUTION l l Make sure that the weight of the luggage does not exceed the allowable roof load (43 kg). If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this may cause damage to the vehicle. The roof load is the total allowable load on the roof (the weight of the roof carrier plus the weight of luggage placed on the roof carrier). When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle, please make sure to drive slowly and avoid excessive manoeuvres such as sudden braking or quick turning. In addition, place the luggage on the carrier so that its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carrier. The additional weight on the roof could raise the vehicle’s centre of gravity and affect vehicle handling characteristics. As a result, driving errors or emergency manoeuvres could lead to a loss of control and result in an accident. CAUTION Trailer towing E00610000244 l Before driving and after travelling a short distance, always check the load to make sure it is securely fastened to the roof carrier. Check periodically during your travel that the load remains secure. NOTE l To prevent wind noise, remove the roof carrier when not in use. l Remove the roof carrier before using an automatic car wash. sure that adequate clearance is maintained for raising the tailgate when installing a roof carrier. l Be WARNING l Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing. It may cause an accident or damage the vehicle. 5 OHAE12E5 5-21 OHAE12E5 For pleasant driving Remote Climate Control...............................................................6-02 Ventilators....................................................................................6-02 Air conditioning............................................................................6-04 Important operation tips for the air conditioning..........................6-09 Air purifier....................................................................................6-10 LW/MW/FM electronic tuning radio with CD player*................6-10 To play tracks from USB device*................................................6-20 Error codes....................................................................................6-26 Error codes (iPod).........................................................................6-27 Error codes (USB memory device)..............................................6-28 Handling of compact discs...........................................................6-29 Antenna.........................................................................................6-30 Digital clock*...............................................................................6-31 Link System*................................................................................6-33 USB input terminal*.....................................................................6-33 Sun visors.....................................................................................6-35 Accessory socket..........................................................................6-36 Interior lamps................................................................................6-37 Storage spaces...............................................................................6-39 Cup holder....................................................................................6-40 Assist grips...................................................................................6-41 OHAE12E5 6 For pleasant driving Ventilators Remote Climate Control Air flow and direction adjustments E00700200879 E00700100911 E00735400022 You can run the air conditioning in advance of using the vehicle.

Important operation tips for the air conditioning E00708301020 l Park the vehicle in the shade. l l l NOTE l When the temperature control dial is turned to the middle (•) position while the air conditioning is operating, the air conditioning turns off. l Parking in the hot sun will make the vehicle inside extremely hot, and it will require more time to cool the interior. If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of air conditioning operation to expel the hot air. Close the windows when the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce the cooling efficiency. Too much cooling is not good for the health. Keep the difference between the vehicle interior temperature and outside temperature to 5 to 6 °C. When operating the system, make sure the air intake, which is located in front of the windscreen, is free of obstructions such as leaves and snow. Leaves collected in the airintake plenum may reduce air flow and plug the plenum water drains. Too much cooling/heating can affect the cruising range, so maintain an appropriate temperature to extend the cruising range. Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage which will result in the need to replace your vehicle’s entire air conditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere is not recommended. The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehicle will not harm the ozone layer. We recommend you to recover and recycle the refrigerant for reuse. During a long period of disuse The air conditioning 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 conditioning in the best operating condition. 6 Air conditioning system refrigerant and lubricant recommendations If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. We recommend you to have the system inspected. The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the lubricant POE MA68EV. OHAE12E5 6-09 For pleasant driving Air purifier E00708400561 An air filter has been incorporated into the air conditioning so that pollen 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”. NOTE l Operation in certain conditions such as driv- ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioning can lead to reduction of service 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 easily, replace the air filter. We recommend you to have it checked.

OHAE12E5 7 • The vehicle has been driven with the tyre almost completely flat. • The tyre has completely slipped over the wheel rim and has come off the wheel. • The wheel is damaged. 7-05 For emergencies l Use the tyre sealant only at ambient tempera- tures of -30 °C to + 60 °C. an emergency repair without pulling out the object (nail, screw, etc.) that is stuck in the tyre. Do not use the tyre sealant if the tyre has been damaged by being driven when insufficiently inflated (e.g. bumps, cuts, cracks etc. on the tyre). Wipe tyre sealant off the paintwork immediately with a damp cloth. Immediately wash clothes contaminated with tyre sealant. CAUTION l Effect l l l Before repairing a tyre, first stop your vehicle in a safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground. 2. Set the parking brake firmly. 3. Move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position and turn the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position. 4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and set up a warning triangle, flashing signal lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from the vehicle, and have all your passengers leave the vehicle. 5. Take out the tyre sealant bottle and the compressor. 6. Shake the tyre sealant bottle well. l If you shake the bottle after screwing on the hose, sealant may spray out of the hose. 8. Take the valve cap (G) off the tyre valve (H), then press the valve remover (I) onto the valve as illustrated. Allow all of the air in the tyre to escape. NOTE l In cold conditions (when the ambient temperature is 0 °C or lower), thickening of the tyre sealant can make the tyre sealant hard to squeeze out of the bottle. Warm the bottle inside the vehicle. 7. Take the cap (C) off the tyre sealant bottle (D). Do not remove the seal (E). Screw the filler hose (F) onto the bottle (D). As you screw the filler hose onto the bottle, the seal will break, allowing the sealant to be used. 7 7-06 OHAE12E5 9. Remove the valve insert (J) by turning it anticlockwise using the valve remover (I). Put the removed valve insert in a clean place so it does not get dirty. For emergencies 11. Holding the sealant bottle upside-down, squeeze it again and again to inject all of the sealant into the tyre. Fit the valve insert (J) into the valve (H), and screw the valve insert securely into place using the valve remover (I). CAUTION l If there is any air left in the tyre when you remove the valve insert, the valve insert may fly out and injure you. Make sure the tyre contains no air before removing the valve insert. 10. Remove the plug (K) from the free end of the hose (L). Press the hose onto the valve (H). NOTE l When injecting the sealant, position the valve away from the bottom, i.e., away from the point where the tyre touches the ground. If the valve is near the point where the tyre touches the ground, the sealant may not go into the tyre easily. 12. After injecting the sealant, pull the hose off the valve, remove any residual sealant from the valve, rim and/or tyre. NOTE l When removing and screwing in the valve insert using the valve remover, turn the valve remover by hand. Using a tool to turn the valve remover could damage it. 13. Pull out the compressor hose (M) from the side of the tyre compressor, and then securely attach the hose to the tyre valve (H). 7 OHAE12E5 7-07 For emergencies 14. Place the compressor (N) with its air pressure gauge (O) on top. Pull out the compressor’s power cord (P), insert the plug on the cord into the accessory socket (Q), and then turn the electric motor switch to the “ACC” position. Turn ON the compressor switch (R) and inflate the tyre to the specified pressure. CAUTION l Any sand or dust sucked into the compres- l sor could make the compressor break down. Do not place the compressor directly on any sandy or dusty surface when using it. Do not disassemble or modify the compressor. Also, do not subject the air pressure gauge to shock. It could malfunction. 15. Check and adjust the tyre pressure with reference to the air pressure gauge on the compressor. If you overinflate the tyre, release air by loosening the hose’s end fitting. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on page 8-15.) If there is a gap between the tyre and wheel because the tyre has moved inward from the wheel rim, press the periphery of the tyre towards the wheel to close the gap before running the compressor. (With no gaps, the tyre pressure will rise.) CAUTION CAUTION 7 l The supplied compressor is designed only l l 7-08 for inflation of your vehicle tyres. The compressor is designed to run on a vehicle’s 12 V power supply. Do not connect it to any other power source. The compressor is not waterproof. If you use it in rain, make sure water does not get on it. l l Be careful not to get your fingers trapped between the tyre and wheel as the tyre inflates. The surface of the compressor will get hot while the compressor is running. Do not keep the compressor running continuously for more than 10 minutes. After using the compressor, wait for the compressor to cool before using it again. OHAE12E5 CAUTION l If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot while operating, it is overheating. Immediately place the switch in the OFF position and let the compressor cool down for at least 30 minutes. NOTE l If the tyre pressure does not rise to the speci- fied level within 10 minutes, the tyre may be so severely damaged that the tyre sealant cannot be used to effect an emergency repair. Please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another specialist in this event. 16. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then pull the power cord plug out of the socket. NOTE l Simply putting sealant and air into the tyre using the tyre repair kit does not seal the puncture hole. Air will leak through the puncture hole until the emergency repair procedure is completed (through step 19 of these instructions). 17. When you have inflated the tyre to the specified pressure, stow the compressor, bottle, and other items in the vehicle and promptly start driving the vehicle so that the tyre sealant can spread evenly in the tyre. Drive with great care. Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Observe local speed limits. For emergencies If the tyre pressure has apparently not dropped, the emergency repair procedure is complete. You must still not exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Observe local speed limits. CAUTION l If you sense any abnormality while driv- ing, stop the vehicle and contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another specialist. Otherwise the tyre pressure may drop before the emergency repair procedure is completed, rendering the vehicle unsafe. Point or another specialist and have tyre repair/replacement performed. CAUTION l Be sure to check the tyre pressure for confirmation that the emergency repair procedure is complete. NOTE l Driving faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) can make the vehicle vibrate. 18. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km (3 miles), check the tyre pressure using the air pressure gauge on the compressor. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on page 8-15.) If the tyre pressure is not sufficient, inflate the tyre to the specified pressure again and drive the vehicle carefully without exceeding a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). CAUTION l If the tyre pressure is lower than the min- imum permitted pressure (1.3 bar {130 kPa}), the tyre cannot successfully be repaired with the tyre sealant. Do not drive the vehicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another specialist. 19. After driving for 10 minutes or 5 km (3 miles), check the tyre pressure using the air pressure gauge on the compressor. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on page 8-15.) NOTE l If l the tyre pressure has dropped below the specified level when you check it at the end of the repair procedure, do not drive the vehicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another specialist. In cold conditions (when the ambient temperature is 0 °C or lower), the time and driving distance necessary until completion of the repair can be longer than in warmer conditions, meaning that the tyre pressure can drop below the specified level even when you have inflated the tyre a second time and subsequently driven the vehicle. If this happens, inflate the tyre to the specified pressure once more, drive for about 10 minutes or 5 km (3 miles), then check the tyre pressure again. If the tyre pressure has again dropped below the specified level, stop driving the vehicle and contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another specialist. CAUTION l Do not affix the sticker anywhere except the specified position on the pad of the steering wheel. Affixing the sticker in an incorrect position could prevent the SRS airbag from working normally. NOTE l Please give the empty sealant bottle to your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point when you purchase new sealant or dispose of the sealant bottle according to national regulations for the disposal of chemical waste. 20. Affix the speed restriction sticker (R) to the three-diamond mark on the steering wheel. Then immediately drive with great care to a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service OHAE12E5 7-09 7 For emergencies lA l l l tyre in which puncture sealant has been used should ideally be replaced with a new one. If you wish to have such a tyre properly repaired for reuse, please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another specialist. Note that a proper repair is impossible following an emergency repair if the puncture hole cannot be located. Wipe away any sealant that gets on the wheel. Provided the valve is replaced with a new one, the wheel can be reused. The manufacturer is unable to guarantee that all tyre punctures can be repaired with the tyre repair kit, in particular cuts or perforations with a diameter of more than 4 mm or away from the tyre’s tread.

In the following cases, transport the vehicle using a tow truck. l The ready indicator illuminates but the vehicle does not move, or an abnormal noise is produced. l Inspection of the vehicle’s underside reveals that oil or some other fluid is leaking. If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not try to tow the vehicle. Please contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or a commercial tow truck service for assistance. Only when you cannot receive a towing service from a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point or commercial tow truck service, tow your vehicle carefully in accordance with the instructions given in “Emergency towing” in this part. 7 7-10 The regulations concerning towing may differ from country to country. It is recommended that you obey the regulations of the area where you are driving your vehicle. OHAE12E5 Towing with rear wheels raised off the ground Towing with front wheels raised off the ground For emergencies Towing the vehicle by a tow truck CAUTION l l l l This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will damage the bumper and front end. If the transmission is malfunctioning or damaged, transport the vehicle with the driving wheels on a carriage (Type B, D or E) as illustrated. If you tow the vehicle with only the front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the ground (Type B or C) after starting the electric motor unit, the Active Stability Control (ASC) system may operate, resulting in an accident. If you tow the vehicle with the driving wheels on the ground (Type C) as illustrated, make sure that the towing speed and distance given below are never exceeded, causing damage to the transmission. Towing with front wheels raised off the ground (Type C) Release the parking brake. Place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position. Turn the electric motor switch to the “ACC” position. Emergency towing If towing service is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a rope secured to the towing hook. In case of your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle, pay careful attention to the following points. If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle 1. The front towing hook (A) is located as shown in the illustration. Secure the tow rope to the front towing hook. Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph) Towing distance: 30 km (19 miles) l NOTE l Using any part other than the designated tow- ing hook (A) could result in damage to the vehicle body. OHAE12E5 in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any point where it touches the vehicle body. Take care that the tow rope is kept as horizontal as possible. An angled tow rope can damage the vehicle body. 2. Start the electric motor unit. If the electric motor unit does not start, turn the electric motor switch to the “ACC” position. CAUTION l l For the towing speed and the towing distance, follow the local driving laws and regulations. Towing with rear wheels raised off the ground (Type B) Place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position. Turn the electric motor switch to the “ACC” position and secure the steering wheel in a straightahead position with a rope or tie-down strap. l Using a wire rope or metal chain can result If the vehicle is towed with the electric motor switch in the “ON” position without starting the electric motor unit, the auxiliary battery may be flat during towing. In this case, the brake performance may be very poor. Steering is also very heavy. Therefore, start the electric motor unit as much as possible for towing. Do not leave the electric motor switch in the “LOCK” position. The steering wheel will lock, causing loss of control. 3. Place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position. 4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required by law. (Follow the local driving laws and regulations.) 5. During towing make sure that close contact is maintained between the drivers of both vehicles, and that the vehicles travel at low speed. 7-11 7 For emergencies CAUTION l The l l l person in the vehicle being towed must pay attention to the brake lamps of the towing vehicle and make sure the rope never becomes slack. Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turning; such operation could cause damage to the towing hooks or the tow rope. People in the vicinity could be injured as a result. When towing or being towed down a long slope, the brakes may overheat reducing the effectiveness. In this situation, have your vehicle transported by a tow truck. When the vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle with all wheels on the ground, make sure that the towing speed and distance given below are never exceeded, causing damage to the transmission. Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph) Towing distance: 30 km (19 miles) For the towing speed and the towing distance, follow the local driving laws and regulations. 7 Operation under adverse driving conditions E00801702717 On a flooded road l Do not drive on a flooded road. If you drive l l on a flooded road, not only the electric motor unit stops but also a failure like electric leakage or short circuit may occur. If you inevitably had to run on a flooded road and the vehicle was exposed to water, be sure to have your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. If there is water on the brakes after driving through puddles or washing the vehicle, resulting in temporarily ineffective brakes. In such cases, lightly depress the brake pedal to see if the brakes operate properly. If they do not, lightly depress the pedal several times while driving in order to dry the brake pads. When driving in rain or on a road with many puddles a layer of water may form between the tyres and the road surface. This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance on the road, resulting in loss of steering stability and braking capability. To cope with this, observe the following items: Towing another vehicle Your vehicle cannot be used to tow another vehicle. 7-12 On a snow-covered or frozen road l When driving on a snow-covered or frozen (a) Drive your vehicle at slow speed. (b) Do not drive on worn tyres. (c) Always maintain the specified tyre inflation pressures. OHAE12E5 l l l l road, it is recommended that you use snow tyres or tyre chains. Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Tyre chains” sections. Avoid high-speed driving, sudden acceleration, sudden braking, and sharp turns. Depressing the brake pedal during travel on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre slippage and skidding. Tyres may slip if the ability of the tyres to grip the road surface lessens. This may make it more difficult to stop the vehicle with normal braking operations. For vehicles with an anti-lock brake system (ABS), firmly depress and hold down the brake pedal. Allow extra distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking. Accumulation of ice on the braking system can cause the wheels to lock. Pull away from a standstill slowly after confirming safety around the vehicle. CAUTION l Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle could suddenly start moving and possibly cause an accident. On a bumpy or rutted road Drive as slow as possible when driving on bumpy or rutted roads. For emergencies CAUTION l The impact on tyres and/or wheels when l driving on a bumpy or rutted road can damage the tyre and/or wheel. The vehicle’s body, bumper, muffler and other parts may be damaged if the vehicle is: • driven over a step (for example, at the entrance or exit of a parking lot); • parked too closely against a kerb or parking block, or by the side of a road with kerbstones; • driven on a steep slope; 7 OHAE12E5 7-13 OHAE12E5 Vehicle care and Maintenance Vehicle care precautions...............................................................8-02 Cleaning the interior of your vehicle............................................8-02 Cleaning the exterior of your vehicle...........................................8-03 Service precautions.......................................................................8-06 Bonnet...........................................................................................8-07 Coolant/Hot water heater fluid.....................................................8-09 Washer fluid.................................................................................8-11 Brake fluid....................................................................................8-11 Auxiliary battery...........................................................................8-12 Tyres.............................................................................................8-14 Wiper blades.................................................................................8-17 General maintenance....................................................................8-19 For cold and snowy weather.........................................................8-20 Fusible links..................................................................................8-20 Fuses.............................................................................................8-20 Replacement of lamp bulbs..........................................................8-23 8 OHAE12E5 Vehicle care and Maintenance Vehicle care precautions E08400100015 In order to maintain the value of your vehicle, it is necessary to perform regular maintenance using the proper procedures.

Plastic, vinyl leather, fabric and flocked parts E08400300017 1. Gently wipe off with a sponge, gauze or other soft cloth soaked with a 3% aqueous solution of neutral detergent. 2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it out well. Using this cloth, wipe off the detergent thoroughly. l Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and protec- tants containing silicons or wax. Such products, when applied to the instrument panels or other parts, may cause reflections on the windscreen and obscure vision. Also, if such products get on the switches of the electrical accessories, it may lead to failure of these accessories. Upholstery E08400400018 1. To maintain the value of your new vehicle, handle the upholstery carefully and keep the interior clean. Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean the seats. If stained, vinyl and synthetic leather should be cleaned with an appropriate cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be cleaned with either upholstery cleaner or a 3% aqueous solution of neutral detergent in lukewarm water. 2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuum cleaner and remove any stains with carpet cleaner. Oil and grease can be removed by lightly dabbing with a clean colourfast cloth and stain remover. Genuine leather E08400500019 1. Gently wipe off with gauze or other soft cloth soaked with a 5 % aqueous solution of neutral detergent. 2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it out well. Using this cloth, wipe off the detergent thoroughly. 3. Apply leather protecting agent to the genuine leather surface. 8 8-02 NOTE OHAE12E5 Vehicle care and Maintenance NOTE l If genuine leather is wet with water or is washl l l l ed in water, wipe off water as quickly as possible with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may grow. The genuine leather surface may be damaged if a nylon brush or synthetic fibre is rubbed hard against it. Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene, alcohol and petrol, acid or alkaline solvents may discolour the genuine leather surface. Be sure to use neutral detergents. Remove dirty patches or oil substances quickly as they can stain genuine leather. The genuine leather surface may harden and shrink if it is exposed to direct sun for long hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possible. Cleaning the exterior of your vehicle E08400600010 If the following is left on your vehicle, it may cause corrosion, discolouration and stains, wash the vehicle as soon as possible. l Seawater, road deicing products. l Soot and dust, iron powder from factories, chemical substance (acids, alkalis, coal-tar, etc.). l Droppings from birds, carcasses of insects, tree sap, etc. WARNING l l l Washing E08400700011 Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust picked up from the road surface can damage the paint coat and body of your vehicle if left in prolonged contact. Frequent washing and waxing is the best way to protect your vehicle from this damage. This will also be effective in protecting it from environmental elements such as rain, snow, salt air, etc. Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it with water to remove dust. Next, using an ample amount of clean water and a car washing brush or sponge, wash the vehicle from top to bottom. Use a mild car washing soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft cloth. After washing the vehicle, carefully clean the joints and flanges of the doors, bonnet and other sections where dirt is likely to remain. l l l l l l OHAE12E5 Do not wash the vehicle while charging the traction battery. Doing so could cause fire or an electric shock. Before washing the vehicle, make sure that the charging lid and the inner lid are completely closed. If the lid is open, the charging unit is exposed to water, resulting in fire or an electric shock. Do not pour water inside the electric motor unit room. Doing so could cause fire or an electric shock. When washing the vehicle, turn the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position. Do not use a high pressure washing machine to clean the underneath of the vehicle. Doing so might cause the electric motor unit problem or malfunction. When washing the underside of your vehicle or wheel, be careful not to injure your hands. Refrain from excessively using a car wash as its brushes may scratch the paint surface, causing it to lose its gloss. Scratches will be especially visible on darker coloured vehicles. Never spray or splash water on the electrical components in the bonnet room. Exercise caution also when washing the underbody; be careful not to spray water into the bonnet room. Some types of hot water washing equipment apply high pressure and heat to the 8-03 8 Vehicle care and Maintenance WARNING l l 8 8-04 vehicle. They may cause heat distortion and damage to the vehicle resin parts and may result in flooding of the vehicle interior. Therefore; • Maintain a distance of approx. 70 cm or more between the vehicle body and the washing nozzle. • When washing around the door glass, hold the nozzle at a distance of more than 70 cm and at right angles to the glass surface. After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal several times in order to dry out the brakes. Leaving the brakes wet could result in reduced braking performance. Also, there is a possibility that they could freeze up or become inoperative due to rust, rendering the vehicle unable to move. When using an automatic car wash, pay attention to the following items, referring to the operation manual or consulting a car wash operator. If the following procedure is not followed, it could result in damage to your vehicle. • The outside mirrors are retracted. • The antenna is removed. • The wiper arms are secured in place with tape. • If your vehicle is equipped with a rear spoiler, consult a car wash operator before using the car wash. During cold weather Salt and other chemicals spread on the roads in some areas in winter can have a harmful effect on the vehicle body. You should therefore wash the vehicle as often as possible in accordance with our care-instructions. It is recommended to have a preservative applied and the underfloor protection checked before and after the cold weather season. After washing your vehicle, wipe off all waterdrops from the rubber parts around the doors to prevent the doors from freezing. NOTE l To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone spray. Waxing E08400800012 Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the adherence of dust and road chemicals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after washing the vehicle, or at least once every three months to assist displacing of water. Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight. You should wax after the surfaces have cooled. CAUTION l Waxes containing high abrasive compounds should not be used. Such waxes remove rust and stains effectively from the paintwork but they are harmful to the lustre on the painted surface and the plated surface. Further, they are harmful to glossy surfaces such as grille, garnish, mouldings, etc. OHAE12E5 CAUTION l Do not use petrol or paint thinners to rel move road tar or other contamination to the painted surface. Do not apply wax to sections that have a black mat paint coating, as doing so could cause uneven discolouration, spots or stains. If wax gets on such areas, wipe it off using lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Polishing E08400900013 The vehicle should only be polished if the paintwork has become stained or lost its lustre. Do not polish parts with a mat coating and the plastic bumpers. Doing so could cause stains or damage the finish. Damaged paint E08401000011 Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat should be touched up as soon as possible with MITSUBISHI touch-up paint to prevent corrosion. Check body areas facing the road or the tyres carefully for damage to the paint caused by gravels, etc. The paint code number for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate. (Refer to “Vehicle information code plate” on page 9-02.) Cleaning plastic parts E08401100012 Use a sponge or chamois leather. If a car wax adheres on a grey or black rough surface of the bumper, moulding or lamps, the surface becomes white. In such a case, wipe it off using lukewarm water and soft cloth or chamois leather. Vehicle care and Maintenance CAUTION Wiper blades CAUTION E08401500016 l Do l Do not use a brush or other hard imple- l l l not use a scrubbing brush or other hard tools as they may damage the plastic part surface. Do not use wax containing compound (polishing powder) which may damage the plastic part surface. Do not bring the plastic parts into contact with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, greases, paint thinners, and sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack, stain or discolour the plastic parts. If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them off with soft cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent then immediately rinse the affected parts with water. Chrome parts E08401200013 In order to prevent spots and corrosion of chrome parts, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and apply a special protective coating. This should be done more frequently in winter. Aluminium wheels E08401300014 1. Remove dirt using a sponge while sprinkling water on the vehicle. 2. Use neutral detergent on any dirt that cannot be removed easily with water. Rinse off the neutral detergent after washing the vehicle. 3. Dry the vehicle thoroughly using a chamois leather or a soft cloth. l l ment on the wheels. Doing so could scratch the wheels. Do not use any cleaner that contains an abrasive substance or is acidic or alkaline. Doing so could cause the coating on the wheels to peel or become discoloured or stained. Do not directly apply hot water using a steam cleaner or by any other means. Contact with seawater and road deicer can cause corrosion. Rinse off such substances as soon as possible. Window glass E08401400015 The window glass can normally be cleaned using only a sponge and water. Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease, insect carcasses, etc. After washing the glass, wipe it dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Never use a cloth that is used for cleaning a painted surface to clean a window. Wax from the painted surface could get on the glass and lower glass transparency and visibility. Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove grease, dead insects, etc., from the wiper blades. Replace the wiper blades when they no longer wipe properly. (Refer to page 8-17.) Bonnet room E08401600017 Clean the bonnet room at the beginning and end of winter. Pay particular attention to flanges, crevices and peripheral parts where dust containing road chemicals and other corrosive materials might collect. If salt and other chemicals are used on the roads in your area, clean the engine compartment at least every three months. Never spray or splash water on the electrical components in the bonnet room, as this may cause damage.

OHAE12E5 l l When checking or servicing the inside of the bonnet room and coolant reserve tank, make sure the electric motor unit is switched off and has had a chance to cool down. If it is necessary to do work in the bonnet room with the electric motor running, be especially careful that your clothing, hair, etc., does not become caught by the fan, or other moving parts. The fan can turn on automatically even if the electric motor is not running. Turn the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position to be safe while you work in the bonnet room. Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open flames around the auxiliary battery. Vehicle care and Maintenance Bonnet WARNING l Be l extremely cautious when working around the auxiliary battery. It contains poisonous and corrosive sulphuric acid. Improper handling of components and materials used in the vehicle can endanger your personal safety. We recommend you to consult a specialist for necessary information. E08402000018 To open 1. Pull the release lever towards you to unlock the bonnet. LHD (Passenger’s side) CAUTION l l The components inside the electric motor unit room might be very hot to touch. To avoid being burnt, make sure all components have sufficiently cooled before beginning an inspection. These components are affixed with the label indicating precautions for handling. Follow the instructions on the label. When replacing the auxiliary battery, remove the connected positive (+) and negative (-) terminals after turning the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position and waiting at least 1 minute. If the auxiliary battery terminal is removed just after the electric motor switch is turned to the “LOCK” position, this may cause damage to components of the electric motor unit. NOTE l Only open the bonnet when the wipers are in the parked position. In any other position, the wipers could damage the paint or bonnet. 3. Support the bonnet by inserting the support bar (B) into its slot on the underside of the bonnet arm (C). RHD (Driver’s side) 2. Raise the bonnet while pressing the safety lock (A).

This can be extremely dangerous. Vehicle care and Maintenance Coolant/Hot water heater fluid E08402100019 To check the coolant level Coolant 1. Open the tailgate. NOTE l A heat insulating material is attached to the luggage floor carpet. To remove the luggage floor carpet, grab and lift up both the carpet fabric and the heat insulating material. While the motor is cold, the coolant level must always be between the “FULL” and “LOW” marks. FULL 3. Turn the 4 screws on the front and rear of the electric motor unit room lid (C) anticlockwise to loosen and remove them, and then remove the electric motor unit room lid (C). LOW 5. Refit the electric motor unit room lid and the luggage floor carpet by following the removal procedures in reverse. 2. Peel off the Velcro fastener (A) to remove the luggage floor carpet (B). NOTE l When laying the electric motor unit room lid on the ground, leave the underside of the lid with the rubber surface facing up. If the underside is facing downward rubbish and other foreign material could get on the rubber surface and prevent proper reinstallation of the electric motor unit room lid. 4. Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank (D). OHAE12E5 Hot water heater fluid A transparent reserve tank (A) is located in the bonnet room. The coolant level in this tank should be kept between the “FULL” and “LOW” marks when measured while the electric motor is cold. FULL 8 LOW 8-09 Vehicle care and Maintenance To add coolant The cooling system is a closed system and normally the loss of coolant should be very slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level could indicate leakage. If this occurs, we recommend you to have the system checked as soon as possible. If the level should drop below the “LOW” level on the reserve tank, open the reserve tank cap (E) and add coolant. WARNING l Do not open the reserve tank cap (E) while it is hot. The coolant system is under pressure and any hot coolant escaping could cause severe burns. Anti-freeze The coolant contains an ethylene glycol anti-corrosion agent. Some parts of the electric motor are cast aluminium alloy, and periodic changing of the electric motor coolant is necessary to prevent corrosion of these parts. Use “DIA QUEEN SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMIUM” or equivalent*. *: similar high quality ethylene glycol based nonsilicate, non-amine, non-nitrate and non-borate coolant with long life hybrid organic acid technology 8 MITSUBISHI Genuine Coolant has excellent protection against corrosion and rust formation of all metals including aluminium and can avoid blockages in the radiator, heater, etc. 8-10 Because of the necessity of this anti-corrosion agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer. The required concentration of anti-freeze differs depending on the expected ambient temperature. Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti-freeze Below -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti-freeze CAUTION l l l l Do not use alcohol or methanol antifreeze or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The use of an improper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the aluminium components. Do not use water to adjust the concentration of coolant. Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cooling performance. Do not top up with water only. Water by itself reduces the rust-protective and anti-freeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the cooling system if it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it can cause corrosion and rust formation. During cold weather If the temperatures in your area drop below freezing, there is the danger that the coolant in the electric motor, on board charger/DC-DC converter or radiator could freeze and cause severe damage to the electric motor, on board charger/DC-DC converter and/or radiator. Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze to the coolant to prevent it from freezing. OHAE12E5 The concentration should be checked before the start of cold weather and anti-freeze added to the system if necessary. Vehicle care and Maintenance Washer fluid Brake fluid E08402200010 Check if the fluid level is between the “FULL” and “1/2” on the washer fluid reservoir. If the level is low, replenish the container with washer fluid. E08406100017 To check the fluid level The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir. FULL The brake fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under the bonnet. The brake system should also be checked for leakage at the same time. If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from the brake system. If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked. Fluid type Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake system, reducing the performance. CAUTION l Take care in handling brake fluid as it is NOTE l The washer fluid container serves the windscreen, rear window. l During cold weather To ensure proper operation of the washers at low temperatures, use a fluid containing an anti-freezing agent. l The brake fluid level is monitored by a float. When the brake fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp lights up. The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any abnormality. OHAE12E5 l harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin and also damage painted surfaces. Use only the specified brake fluid. Do not mix or add different brands of brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions. Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid. This will damage the seals. Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to prevent the brake fluid from deteriorating except maintenance. Clean the filler cap before removing and close the cap securely after maintenance. 8-11 8 Vehicle care and Maintenance Auxiliary battery E08402300011 The condition of the auxiliary battery is very important to keep the vehicle’s electrical system working properly. Regular inspection and care are especially important in cold weather. To install 1. Install the auxiliary battery upper cover (B) onto the auxiliary battery, and then push the plastic nut (A) in the direction shown by the arrows to secure the cover. Checking auxiliary battery electrolyte level E08402500013 Removing and installing the auxiliary battery upper cover E08402400012 To remove 1.

CAUTION l Be sure to install the auxiliary battery upl NOTE l Be careful not to lose the removed plastic nut. 8 per cover. Otherwise, the battery electrolyte may spill and cause a malfunction. When installing the auxiliary battery upper cover and plastic nut do not touch the cooling fan or other moving parts in the bonnet room. Be especially careful that the cables, your clothing or hair, etc., do not get caught in the cooling fan or other moving parts. NOTE l Be sure to install the plastic nut in the correct direction. 8-12 OHAE12E5 Before checking the auxiliary battery electrolyte level, remove the auxiliary battery’s upper cover. The electrolyte level must be between the specified limit on the outside of the auxiliary battery. Replenish with distilled water as necessary. The inside of the auxiliary battery is divided into several compartments; remove the cap from each compartment and fill to the upper mark. Do not top up beyond the upper mark because spillage during driving could cause damage. Check the electrolyte level at least once every 4 weeks, depending on the operating conditions. If the auxiliary battery is not used, it will discharge by itself with time. Check it once every four weeks and charge with low current if necessary. Vehicle care and Maintenance During cold weather CAUTION E08402600014 The capacity of the auxiliary battery is reduced at low temperatures. This is an inevitable result of its chemical and physical properties. This is why a very cold auxiliary battery, particularly one that is not fully charged will only deliver a fraction of the starting current which is normally available. We recommend you to have the auxiliary battery checked before the start of cold weather and, if necessary, have it charged or replaced. This does not only ensure reliable starting, but an auxiliary battery which is kept fully charged also has a longer life. Disconnection and connection E08402700015 To disconnect the auxiliary battery cable, stop the electric motor unit, first disconnect the negative (-) terminal and then the positive (+) terminal. When connecting the auxiliary battery, first connect the positive (+) terminal and then the negative (-) terminal. l Keep it out of reach of children. l When replacing the auxiliary battery, re- WARNING l l NOTE l Open l the terminal cover (A) before disconnecting or connecting the positive (+) terminal of the auxiliary battery. Loosen the nut (B), and then disconnect the auxiliary battery cable from the positive (+) terminal. l l Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the auxiliary battery because the auxiliary battery could explode. When installing the auxiliary battery, start connection with the positive (+) terminal. If connection is started from the negative (-) terminal, sparks will occur if the positive (+) terminal touches any other parts, and this may cause the auxiliary battery to explode. The auxiliary battery electrolyte is extremely caustic. Do not allow it to come in contact with your eyes, skin, clothing, or the painted surfaces of the vehicle. Spilt electrolyte should be flushed immediately with ample amounts of water. Irritation to eyes or skin from contact with electrolyte requires immediate medical attention. Ventilate when charging or using the auxiliary battery in an enclosed space. OHAE12E5 l l l l l move the connected positive (+) and negative (-) terminals after turning the electric motor switch to the “LOCK” position and waiting at least 1 minute. If the auxiliary battery terminal is removed just after the electric motor switch is turned to the “LOCK” position, this may cause damage to components of the electric motor unit. Never short-circuit the auxiliary battery. This could cause it to overheat and be damaged. If the auxiliary battery is to be quickcharged, first disconnect the battery cables. In order to prevent a short circuit, be sure to disconnect the negative (-) terminal first. Always wear protective eye goggles when working near the auxiliary battery. Do not bring the nearby parts, the plastic parts and so on into contact with sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack, stain or discolour them. If they are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent then immediately rinse the affected parts with plenty of water. 8-13 8 Vehicle care and Maintenance Tyres NOTE l Keep the terminals clean. After the auxiliary l l l battery is connected, apply terminal protection grease. To clean the terminals, use lukewarm water. Check to see if the auxiliary battery is securely installed and cannot be moved during travel. Also check each terminal for tightness. When the vehicle is to be left unused for a long period of time, remove the auxiliary battery and store it in a place where the battery fluid will not freeze. The auxiliary battery should be stored only in a fully charged condition. It is necessary to adjust the electronic controlled unit when the auxiliary battery is removed for a long period of time. Consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. E08402800016 WARNING l Driving with tyres that are worn, damaged or improperly inflated can lead to loss of control or blowout of the tyres which can result in a collision with serious or fatal injury. 8 8-14 OHAE12E5 Vehicle care and Maintenance Tyre inflation pressures E08402900033 Tyre size Front Rear 145/65R15 2.5 bar (36 psi) [250 kPa] — 175/55R15 — 2.5 bar (36 psi) [250 kPa] Check the tyre inflation pressure of all the tyres while they are cold; if insufficient or excessive, adjust to the specified value. After the tyre inflation pressure has been adjusted, check the tyres for damage and air leaks. Be sure to put caps on the valves. 8 OHAE12E5 8-15 Vehicle care and Maintenance Wheel condition Tyre rotation CAUTION E08403000015 E08403200017 l Always use tyres of the same size, same type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres of different size, type, brands or degree of wear, will increase the differential oil temperature, resulting in possible damage to the driving system. Further, the drive train will be subjected to excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other serious faults. 1- Location of the tread wear indicator 2- Tread wear indicator Check the tyres for cuts, cracks and other damage. Replace the tyres if there are deep cuts or cracks. Also check each tyre for pieces of metal or pebbles. The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous because of the greater chance of skidding or hydroplaning. The tread depth of the tyres must exceed 1.6 mm in order for the tyres to meet the minimum requirement for use. Tread wear indicators will appear on the surface of the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby indicating that the tyre no longer meets the minimum requirement for use. When these wear indicators appear, the tyres must be replaced with new ones. Replacing tyres and wheels E08403100016 CAUTION *: Front l Avoid using different size tyres from the l one listed and the combined use of different types of tyres, as this can affect driving safety. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 9-05. Even if a wheel has the same rim size and offset as the specified type of wheel, its shape may prevent it from being fitted correctly. We recommend you to consult a specialist before using wheels that you have. 8 8-16 Because the front and rear tyres and wheels are not the same size, front and rear tyre rotation is not possible. OHAE12E5 WARNING l Rotating tyres would compromise the stability and drivability of the vehicle and could lead to a serious accident. Snow tyres E08403300018 The use of snow tyres is recommended for driving on snow and ice. To preserve driving stability, mount snow tyres of the same size and tread pattern on wheels. A snow tyre that is worn down more than 50% is no longer appropriate to use. Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must not be used. Vehicle care and Maintenance CAUTION l Observe permissible maximum speed for your snow tyres and the legal speed limit. l l Practice l NOTE l Wiper blades CAUTION The laws and regulations concerning snow tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.) vary. Find out and follow the laws and regulations in the area you intend to drive. If flange nuts are used on your vehicle, change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are used. l l l Tyre chains E08403400035 If tyre chains have to be used, ensure that they are fitted only on the drive wheels (rear) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only tyre chains which are designed for use with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the incorrect size or type of chain could result in damage to the vehicle body. Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point before putting on tyre chains. The max. chain height is as follows. Tyre size Wheel size Max chain height [mm] 175/55R15 15 x 5 J 14 mm When driving with tyre chains on the tyres, do not drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph). When you reach roads that are not covered in snow, immediately remove the tyre chains. l l fitting the chains before you need them. Don’t expect help from other people in the cold. Choose a clear straight stretch of road where you can pull over and still be seen while you are fitting the chains. Do not fit chains before you need them. This will wear out your tyres and the road surface. After driving around 100-300 metres, stop and retighten the chains. Drive carefully and do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph). Remember that preventing accidents is not the purpose of tyre chains. An aluminium wheel can be damaged by a tyre chain while driving. When fitting a tyre chain on an aluminium wheel, take care that no part of the chain and fitting can be brought into contact with the wheel. When installing or removing the tyre chains, take care that hands and other parts of your body are not injured by the sharp edges of the vehicle body. E08403500010 If the blades are frozen to the windscreen or rear window, do not operate the wipers until the ice has melted and the blades are freed, otherwise the wiper motor may be damaged. NOTE l When replacing the front wiper with a wiper l for use in cold regions, it is necessary to adjust the washer nozzle spray positions. Always contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point when replacing the front wiper with a wiper for use in cold regions. When removing snow and frost, be careful not to damage the washer nozzles (A) attached to the wiper arm. NOTE l The laws and regulations concerning the use of tyre chains vary.

The values of electric energy consumption and electric range are based on ECE R101. These values vary depending on driving style, road and traffic conditions, ambient temperature, use of air conditioners and so forth. NOTE l The results given do not express or imply any guarantee of the electric energy consumption of the particular vehicle. l l l l The vehicle itself has not been tested and there are inevitably differences between individual vehicles of the same model. In addition, this vehicle may incorporate particular modifications. Furthermore, the driver’s style and road and traffic conditions, as well as the extent to which the vehicle has been driven and the standard of maintenance, will all affect its electric energy consumption. All mentioned values are referring to a new, driven in vehicle. The consumption, but mainly the driving distance depends on the condition of the traction battery.
