than usual.

 The Hybrid EV System can be started in any
operation mode of the power switch.

1. Stop your vehicle completely.
2. Apply the Electric parking brake firmly
while depressing the brake pedal.
3. After pressing the electrical parking
switch to shift to the "P" (PARK) posi-
tion, press the power switch to stop the
Hybrid EV System.

page 6-21.
WARNING
 Never stop the Hybrid EV System during
running except in emergency. The effec-
tiveness of the brake becomes very poor
and the steering wheel becomes very
heavy, which can easily lead to an acci-
dent.
CAUTION
 If a malfunction occurs in the parking lock or
the electronic control shift, a warning is dis-
played on the information screen in the
instrument cluster. When this warning is dis-
played, immediately park on a safe, flat
place and apply the Electric parking brake,
and contact an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer.

 Do not operate the power switch during run-
ning except in emergency. If you have to stop
the Hybrid EV System in emergency during
running, continue to press the power switch
for three seconds or longer or press the
power switch three times or more quickly.
The Hybrid EV System stops, the operation
mode of the power switch turns to ACC, and
the select position shifts to the "P" (PARK)
position at very slow speed.
 If you press the power switch when the select
position is other than the "P" (PARK) posi-
tion while your vehicle is stopped, the select
position automatically shifts to the "P"
(PARK) position, the Hybrid EV System
stops, and the operation mode of the power
switch turns to OFF.

the Hybrid EV System or change the opera-
tion mode of the power switch.
