Automatic operation
When the accelerator pedal is depressed
slowly while all of the following conditions
are met, the Electric parking brake is auto-
matically released.
l The Plug-in Hybrid EV System is oper-
ating.
l The select position is in the “D”
(DRIVE) or the “R” (REVERSE) posi-
tion.
l The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
When the parking brake is released, the brake
warning lamp (red) and the indication lamp
on the Electric parking brake switch go off.
Before driving, be sure that the parking brake
is released and the brake warning lamp is off.
CAUTION
l After the Electric parking brake switch has
been operated to apply or release the Electric
parking brake, if the brake warning lamp
(red) and the indicator on the Electric park-
ing brake switch remain blinking or the
Electric parking brake warning lamp (yel-
low) remains illuminated, the Electric park-
ing brake system may be malfunctioning and
the Electric parking brake may not be ap-
plied or released. Immediately park your ve-
hicle in a safe place and contact the nearest
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
Electric parking brake, the brake will over-
heat, resulting in ineffective braking and
possible brake failure.
l If the brake warning lamp (red) does not go
off after the parking brake has been released,
the brake system may be malfunctioning.
Contact the nearest MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
CAUTION
l If the acceleration of the vehicle seems ab-
normally slow after the vehicle has been
parked with the Electric parking brake ap-
plied in cold weather, stop the vehicle in a
safe place, then apply and release the Elec-
tric parking brake. If the vehicle acceleration
is
still slow, contact the nearest
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
NOTE
l When the operation mode of the power
switch is other than ON, the parking brake
cannot be released.
l If the Electric parking brake does not auto-
matically release, it may be released by man-
ual operation.
l
When the select position is other than the
“P” (PARK) position, if you try to release
the Electric parking brake without depress-
ing the brake pedal, the warning display will
appear.
