WARNING
l Never stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV System
during running except in an emergency.
The effectiveness of the brake becomes
very poor and the steering wheel becomes
very heavy, which can easily lead to an ac-
cident.
NOTE
l Do not operate the power switch during run-
ning except in an emergency. If you have to
stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV System because
of an emergency during operation, continue
to press the power switch for three seconds
or longer or press the power switch three
times or more quickly. The Plug-in Hybrid
EV System stops, the operation mode turns
to ACC, and the selector lever position shifts
to the “P” position at very slow speed.
NOTE
l If you press the power switch when the se-
lector lever position is other than the “P” po-
sition while your vehicle is stopped, the se-
lector lever position automatically shifts to
the “P” position, Plug-in Hybrid EV System
stops, and the power mode turns to “OFF”.
l If the parking lock mechanism is faulty, a
warning is displayed on the information
screen in the multi-information display.
When this warning is displayed, the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System cannot be stopped unless
you apply the parking brake and then press
the power switch. Park on a flat place with
the parking brake securely applied. Have
your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
