Features and controls
When the parking brake is released, the brake
warning light (red) and the indicator light on
N00591700035
the Electric parking brake switch go off.
Before driving, be sure that the parking brake
is released and brake warning light is off.
CAUTION
After the Electric parking brake switch has
been operated to apply or release the Electric
parking brake, if the brake warning light
(red) and the indicator on the Electric park-
ing brake switch remain blinking or the Elec-
tric parking brake warning light (yellow)
remain illuminated, the Electric parking
brake system may be malfunctioning and the
Electric parking brake may not be applied or
released. Immediately park your vehicle in a
safe place and contact the nearest certified
Mitsubishi EV dealer.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will overheat,
resulting in ineffective braking and possible
brake failure.
If the brake warning light (red) does not go
off after the parking brake has been released,
the brake system may be malfunctioning.
Contact the nearest certified Mitsubishi EV
dealer.
CAUTION
If the acceleration of the vehicle seems
abnormally slow after the vehicle has been
parked with the Electric parking brake
applied in cold weather, stop the vehicle in a
safe place, then apply and release the Elec-
tric parking brake. If the vehicle acceleration
is still slow, contact the nearest certified Mit-
subishi EV dealer.
NOTE
When the operation mode of the power
switch is other than ON, the parking brake
cannot be released.
If the Electric parking brake does not auto-
matically release, it may be released by man-
ual operation.
When in other than "P" (PARK) position, if
you try to release the Electric parking brake
without depressing the brake pedal, the
warning display will appear.
