squeeze it again and again to inject all of

the sealant into the tyre.

NOTE

In cold conditions (when the ambient tem-

l

perature is 0 °C or lower), thickening of the

tyre sealant can make the tyre sealant hard to

squeeze out of the bottle. Warm the bottle in-

side the vehicle.

9. Take the cap (G) off the tyre sealant bot-

tle (H). Do not remove the seal (I).

Screw the filler hose (J) onto the bottle

promptly start driving the vehicle so that

the tyre sealant can spread evenly in the

tyre. Drive with great care. Do not ex-

ceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Ob-

serve local speed limits.

CAUTION

NOTE

The surface of the compressor will get hot

while the compressor is running. Do not

keep the compressor running continuously

for more than 10 minutes. After using the

compressor, wait for the compressor to cool

before using it again.

If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot

while operating, it is overheating. Immedi-

ately place the switch in the OFF position

and let the compressor cool down for at least

30 minutes.

Simply putting sealant and air into the tyre

using the tyre repair kit does not seal the

puncture hole. Air will leak through the

puncture hole until the emergency repair

procedure is completed (through step 19 or

step 20 of these instructions).

l

CAUTION

17. Affix the speed restriction sticker (Q) to

the three-diamond mark on the steering

wheel.

If you sense any abnormality while driving,

mum permitted pressure (1.3 bar {130

kPa}), the tyre cannot successfully be re-

paired with the tyre sealant. Do not drive the

vehicle any further. Contact a MITSUBISHI

MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-

other specialist.

In cold conditions (when the ambient tem-

perature is 0 °C or lower), the time and driv-

ing distance necessary until completion of

the repair can be longer than in warmer con-

ditions, meaning that the tyre pressure can

drop below the specified level even when

you have inflated the tyre a second time and

subsequently driven the vehicle. If this hap-

pens, inflate the tyre to the specified pres-

sure once more, drive for about 10 minutes

or 5 km, then check the tyre pressure again.

If the tyre pressure has again dropped below

the specified level, stop driving the vehicle

Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring sys-

tem (TPMS): Reset of low tyre pressure

warning threshold” on page 7-95.

Your vehicle may be temporarily towed by

another vehicle with a rope in emergency sit-

uations such as running out of fuel.

If your vehicle is to be towed by another ve-

hicle, carefully tow your vehicle for the

shortest distance possible and in accordance

with the instructions given in “Emergency

towing” in this part.

The regulations concerning towing may dif-

fer from country to country. It is recommen-

ded that you obey the regulations of the area

where you are driving your vehicle.

CAUTION

After changing the tyre and driving the vehi-

cle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retighten the

wheel nuts to make sure that they have not

come loose.

If the steering wheel vibrates when driving

after changing the tyre, we recommend you

to have the tyres checked for balance.

Do not mix one type of tyre with another or

use a different size from the one listed. This

would cause early wear and poor handling.

and/or rear wheels on the ground. This

may cause damage to the electric motors

and transaxle.

If your vehicle is temporarily towed by an-

other vehicle with a rope in emergency situa-

tions such as running out of fuel, the towing

distance should be as short as possible and

Towing

If your vehicle is to be towed by

another vehicle

NOTE

CAUTION

Using a wire rope or metal chain can result

in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to

use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire

rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any

point where it touches the vehicle body.

Take care that the tow rope is kept as hori-

zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can

damage the vehicle body.

For vehicle equipped with the Adaptive

Cruise Control system (ACC) and Forward

Collision Mitigation system (FCM), stop

these systems to prevent an unexpected acci-

dent or unexpected operation during towing.

Refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control system

(ACC)” on page 7-54 and “Forward Colli-

sion Mitigation system (FCM)” on page

7-66.

l

WARNING

Never tow your vehicle in this method ex-

l

cept in emergency situations such as run-

ning out of fuel. If the vehicle is towed in

this method, a problem can occur in the

vehicle damaging the motor, transaxle,

etc. indicated by illuminating warning

lamps.

l

Secure the tow rope to the same side towing

hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-

sible.

3. Put the select position in “N” (NEU-

TRAL) position.

4. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if re-

quired by law. (Follow the local driving

laws and regulations.)

5. During towing make sure that close con-

tact is maintained between the drivers of

both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav-

el at low speed.

1. The front towing hooks are located as

shown in illustration. Secure the tow

rope to the front towing hook.

2. Start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system.

If the Plug-in Hybrid EV System cannot

be started, put the operation mode of the

power switch in “ON”.

9

WARNING

If the vehicle is towed with the operation

mode in “ON” without starting the Plugin

Hybrid EV System, the auxiliary battery

may be fully discharged during towing. In

this case, the brake performance becomes

very poor and the steering wheel becomes

very heavy.

l

WARNING

Avoid sudden braking, acceleration and

steering wheel movements; such driving

operation could cause damage to the tow-

ing hook or tow rope.

l

People in the vicinity could be injured as a

result.

When going down a long slope, the brakes

may overheat, reducing effectiveness.

Have your vehicle transported by a tow

truck.

NOTE

l

Using any part other than the designated

towing hook could result in damage to vehi-

cle body.

Operation under adverse driving conditions

Secure the tow rope to the rear towing hook.

Otherwise, the instructions are the same as

for “When being towed by another vehicle”.

CAUTION

The person in the vehicle being towed must

pay attention to the brake lamps of the tow-

ing vehicle and make sure the rope never be-

comes slack.

NOTE

l

When the vehicle is to be towed by another

l

vehicle with all the wheels on the ground,

make sure that the towing speed and dis-

tance given below are never exceeded,

avoiding damage to the transaxle.

Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph)

Towing distance: 30 km

Operation under adverse

driving conditions

For the towing speed and the towing dis-

tance, follow the local driving laws and reg-

ulations.

NOTE

If your vehicle tows another ve-

hicle

Using any part other than the designated

towing hook could result in damage to vehi-

cle body.

Do not tow a vehicle heavier than your own

vehicle.

l

If your vehicle becomes stuck

in sand, mud or snow

Only use the rear towing hook as shown in

the illustration.

l

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand,

or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking

motion. Rock your vehicle back and forth to

free it.

Do not spin the wheels. Constant efforts to

free a stuck vehicle can cause transaxle fail-

ure.

If your vehicle is still stuck after several

rocking attempts, call for a commercial tow

truck service.

Operation under adverse driving conditions

This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance

on the road, resulting in loss of steering

stability and braking capability.

Depressing the brake pedal during travel

on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre

slippage and skidding. When traction be-

tween the tyres and the road is reduced

the wheels may skid and the vehicle can-

not readily be brought to a stop by con-

ventional braking techniques. Braking

will differ, depending upon whether you

have anti-lock brake system (ABS). As

your vehicle is equipped with ABS,

brake by pressing the brake pedal hard,

and keeping it pressed.

Allow extra distance between your vehi-

cle and the vehicle in front of you, and

avoid sudden braking.

Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-

tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pull

away from a standstill slowly after con-

firming safety around the vehicle.

l

WARNING

When trying to rock your vehicle out of a

stuck position, make sure that there are

no people nearby. The rocking motion can

make your vehicle suddenly lurch for-

ward or backward, and injure any by-

standers.

l

To cope with this, observe the following

items:

A- Drive your vehicle at slow speed.

B- Do not drive on worn tyres.

C- Always maintain the specified tyre

inflation pressures.

On a flooded road

Do not drive on a flooded road. If you

drive on a flooded road, not only does

the Plugin Hybrid EV System stop but

there may be a failure like electric leak-

age or short circuit.

If you inevitably had to run on a flooded

road and the vehicle was exposed to wa-

ter, be sure to have your vehicle inspec-

ted by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-

thorized Service Point.

If there is water on the brakes after driv-

ing through puddles or washing the vehi-

cle, resulting in temporarily ineffective

brakes. In such cases, lightly depress the

brake pedal to see if the brakes operate

properly. If they do not, lightly depress

the pedal several times while driving in

order to dry the brake pads.

l

On a snow-covered or frozen

road

l

When driving on a snow-covered or fro-

zen road, it is recommended that you use

snow tyres or snow traction device (tyre

chains).

Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Snow

traction device (tyre chains)” sections.

Avoid high-speed operation, sudden ac-

celeration, abrupt brake application and

sharp cornering.

l

l

CAUTION

Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If

the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle

could suddenly start moving and possibly

cause an accident.

l

On a bumpy or rutted road

When driving in rain or on a road with

many puddles a layer of water may form

between the tyres and the road surface.

Drive as slow as possible when driving on

bumpy or rutted roads.

For emergencies

4WD system makes it possible to drive on

roads without special coverage, on flat and

firm surfaces. Please, remember that off-road

ability of your vehicle is limited. Your vehi-

cle is not intended for driving in heavy off-

road terrain, overcoming the rugged terrain,

deep ruts, etc.

The manufacturer of the vehicle is proceed-

ing from the following assumption: if the

driver makes the decision to keep driving un-

der conditions mentioned above, he takes all

actions at own risk, aware of the possible

consequences.
