When the parking brake is applied, the brake
warning light (red) in the instrument cluster
and the indicator light (A) on the Electric
parking brake switch will come on.
When parking on a hill, set the parking brake,
and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a
downhill, or away from the curb on an uphill.
NOTE
 You may hear an operation noise from the
vehicle body when operating the Electric
parking brake. This does not indicate a mal-
function and the Electric parking brake is
operating normally.
 When the 12 V starter battery is weak or
dead, the Electric parking brake cannot be
applied or released. Refer to “Jump-starting
the Plug-in Hybrid EV system” on page 8-2.
 You may feel the brake pedal moving when
operating the Electric parking brake.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
To apply
1. Stop the vehicle completely.
2. Pull up the Electric parking brake switch
while depressing the brake pedal.
CAUTION
 While the vehicle is in motion, do not apply
the Electric parking brake. Doing so may
cause overheating and/or premature wear of
brake parts, reducing brake performance.
NOTE
 If the Electric parking brake must be applied
in an emergency situation, pull and hold the
Electric parking brake switch to apply the
Electric parking brake. At that time, the fol-
lowing warning display will appear in the
multi-information display and a buzzer will
sound, however you should continue to pull
and hold the Electric parking brake switch.
 When parking on steep grades, pull up the
Electric parking brake switch twice (once
more after the operation is completed once).
The maximum effect of the parking brake
will be obtained.
 If the parking brake does not hold the vehicle
stationary after the foot brake is released,
contact a certified Mitsubishi EV dealer.
 When the operation mode of the power
switch is other than ON, if the Electric park-
ing brake is applied, the Electric parking
brake indicator light comes on for a while.
 If the Electric parking brake switch is repeat-
edly operated in a short time, the following
warning display will appear in the multi-
information display and the Electric parking
brake will temporarily stop working. In such
case, wait for approximately 1 minute until
the warning display disappears, and operate
the Electric parking brake switch again.
 The brake warning light (red) and the indica-
tor light on the Electric parking brake switch
may blink. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion if the lights go off when/if the Electric
parking brake is released.
 Depending on the situation, the Electric
parking brake may be applied automatically.
Refer to “Brake auto hold” on page 5-69.
