Evaporative emission control
system (except evaporative
emission canister)
If the fuel-vapor vent line is clogged or dam-
aged, the fuel-vapor mixture will escape, pol-
luting the air.
Have the system checked at a certified Mit-
subishi EV dealer at the mileage specified in
the "WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL".
NOTE
Approximately 6 hours after the Plug-in
Hybrid EV system is turned off, you may
hear operating sounds from under the vehicle
for several minutes.
This is the sound checking the fuel evapora-
tion leakage.
This is normal.
