CAUTION

It  is  possible  to  retract  and  extend  the  mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror using
the  mirror  retractor  switch,  however,  you
should  extend  it  by  using  the  switch  again,
not  by  hand.  If  you  extended  the  mirror  by
hand  after  retracting  it  using  the  switch,  it
would not properly lock in position. As a re-
sult,  the  mirror  could  move  because  of  the
wind or vibration while you are driving, and
this may limit the driver’s rearward visibili-
ty.

NOTE

Be careful not to get your hands trapped

If you move a mirror by hand or it moves af-
ter hitting a person or object, you may not be
able to return it to its original position using
the mirror retractor switch. If this happens,
push the mirror retractor switch to place the
mirror in its retracted position and then push
the switch again to return the mirror to its
original position.

When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to operate as intended, please refrain from
repeated pushing of the retractor switch as
this action can result in burn-out of the mir-
ror motor circuits.

This indicator displays the selector lever po-
sition in the meter.

NOTE

When the “B” position is selected, the selec-
ted regenerative brake force position is also
displayed at “B” position.

You cannot operate the regenerative brake
while the adaptive cruise control system
(ACC) is operating.

Selector lever positions

“P” PARK

The wheels are locked. When you park your
vehicle, be sure to apply the parking brake
and press the electrical parking switch.

“R” REVERSE

This position is to back up.

“N” NEUTRAL

No power is transmitted to the wheels. The
wheels are not locked.

WARNING

Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving, you
will lose regenerative braking.

Always keep your right foot on the brake
pedal when shifting into or out of “N”, to
minimize the risk of loss of control.

“D” DRIVE

This position is for normal driving.

“B” REGENERATIVE BRAKE

This position is for the regenerative braking.
You can adjust the regenerative braking force
up to two levels.
Refer to “Selector lever operation” on page
7-15.
Refer to “Braking: When driving downhill”
on page 7-34.

WARNING

Sudden regenerative brake may cause the
tyres to skid.
Select this position according to the road
conditions and vehicle speed.

CAUTION

When  the  capacity  of  the  drive  battery  is
close  to  full  or  when  the  drive  battery  tem-
perature  is  low,  the  regenerative  brake  will
become less effective.
In such case, depress the brake pedal strong-
ly.

NOTE

If a large regenerative braking force is gen-
erated by using the selector lever or the re-
generative braking level selector, the stop
lamps will be automatically illuminated.

Electrical Parking switch

E00636600062

When you park your vehicle, be sure to apply
the  parking  brake  and  press  the  electrical
parking switch to lock the wheels. The indi-
cator  on  the  switch  illuminates  in  green  and
the  select  position  indicator  displays  “P”  on
the information screen in the meter.

CAUTION

If  you  operate  the  electrical  parking  switch
and the select lever repeatedly within a short
time, the shifting from the “P” position or to
the  “P”  position  is  restrained  for  a  certain
period  for  the  system  protection.  In  such  a
case,  wait  for  a  while  and  then  perform  the
operation.

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,  park  on  a
flat  place  with  the  parking  brake  securely
applied.  Have  your  vehicle  inspected  by  a
MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Authorized  Serv-
ice Point.

If you press the electrical parking switch be-
fore your vehicle stops completely, the vehi-
cle makes a sudden stop, which may cause
injury to passengers. This also can be a
cause of failure of the vehicle.

Do not place an object around the electrical
parking switch. The electrical parking switch
may be pressed by the object when you
place it there or when you somehow touch it.
This will cause unintentional shifting to “P”
or “N” position, which may lead to an acci-
dent.

CAUTION

Be careful not to spill beverages, etc. around
the electrical parking switch. The electrical
parking switch may be stuck to the pressed
position when it is pressed.

NOTE

When the selector lever is shifted from the
“P” position or to the “P” position, operating
noise and vibration of the parking lock are
felt, but this is normal.

If the driver’s door is opened with the select
position other than “P” when the vehicle is at
a stop, the buzzer sounds to warn to press the
electrical parking switch.

Regenerative braking level
selector (paddle type)*

E00636700148

Regenerative  braking  level  selector  can
quickly  change  the  regenerative  brake  force
keeping  your  hand  on  the  steering  wheel
when you release your foot from the acceler-
ator pedal while driving.

By pulling the regenerative braking level se-
lector,  the  brake  force  (amount  of  electrical
energy to charge the drive battery) can be ad-
justed according to the driving condition such
as before a curve or a downhill.
Regenerative  braking  level  can  be  switched
in the 6 level from B0 (without regenerative
brake  force)  to  B5  (large  regenerative  brake
force).

increase in
regenerative force

decrease in
regenerative force

CAUTION

If a large regenerative brake force is applied
on a slippery road, tyres may skid. Always
drive safely in accordance with the prevail-
ing road condition.

If you operate the right and left paddles si-
multaneously, the regenerative brake force
level may not change.

NOTE

Repeated continuous operation of a paddle
will continuously change the brake force
levels.

If you turn on the SPORT mode, the regener-
ative braking force level will automatically
switch to B5. After the regenerative braking
force level is switched, the regenerative
braking level can be adjusted by the regener-
ative braking level selector.

If you turn on the cruise control when the
level B0 or B1 (smaller regenerative brake
force) is selected, the level is returned to the
normal level B2 automatically.

When stronger regenerative braking is gen-
erated, the stop lamps will illuminate even
when the brake pedal is not depressed.

Under the cruise control, the level B0 or B1
cannot be selected. The buzzer sounds if you
try to select these levels.

NOTE

On vehicles with the adaptive cruise control
system (ACC), you cannot control the regen-
erative  brake  force  level  while  the  adaptive
cruise  control  system  (ACC)  is  operating.
The  buzzer  sounds  if  you  operate  the  pad-
dles.

To decrease regenerative brake

force

Each time you pull the “+” paddle towards
you, the regenerative brake force lowers by
one level.

To increase regenerative brake

force

Each time you pull the “−” paddle towards
you, the regenerative brake force rises by one
level.

To return to the normal regen-

erative brake force level of B2

Pull the “+” paddle for approximately 2 sec-
onds or longer. The select lever position indi-
cator displays “D”.
