WARNING
3
The Plug-in Hybrid EV System uses high
voltage up to DC 300 volt. The system can
be hot during and after starting and when
the vehicle is shut off. Be careful of both
the high voltage and the high temperature.
Follow the warning labels that are
attached to the vehicle.
Never touch, disassemble, remove or
replace high-voltage parts, exposed elec-
trical components, cables or connectors.
Failure to follow this instruction can
result in severe burns or electric shock
causing serious injury or death. High-volt-
age cables are colored orange. The vehicle
high voltage system has no user service-
able parts. Take your vehicle to a certified
Mitsubishi EV dealer. for any necessary
maintenance.
Always assume the high voltage battery
and associated components are energized
and fully charged.

In case of a collision
A crash or impact significant enough to
require an emergency response for conven-
tional vehicles would also require the same
response for Plug-in Hybrid electric vehicle.
Also follow the instructions described below
to avoid severe burns and electrical shock that
may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
If your vehicle is drivable, pull your vehi-
cle off the road to a safe, nearby location
and remain on the scene.
Also, if possible, do the following opera-
tions and stay out of the way of any
oncoming traffic while awaiting the
arrival of emergency responders.
• Apply chocks to the wheels.
• Put the select position in the "P" (PARK)
position.
• Apply the parking brake.
• Open the windows, doors and liftgate.
• Put the operation mode in OFF.
• Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
• Move the key away from the vehicle to
prevent unintended start-up of the sys-
tem by inadvertent contact with a switch
or impact from the crash.
Never touch high-voltage wiring, connec-
tors, and other high-voltage parts, such as
the inverter unit and main drive lithium-
ion battery. An electric shock may occur if
exposed electric wires are visible when

viewed from inside or outside of your
vehicle. For their locations, see "High-
voltage components" on page 3-40.
