CAUTION

l

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

l

Be careful not to get your hands trapped
while a mirror is moving.

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

l

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.

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

l

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.

l

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

l

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

l

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

l

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.

l

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

NOTE

l

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

l

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.

l

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.

l

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

l

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

NOTE

l

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”.
