Starting the Hybrid EV System
When the Hybrid EV System warning lamp
comes on while the READY indicator is on,
avoid high-speed driving and have your
vehicle inspected by an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer as soon as
possible.
Refer to “Hybrid EV System warning lamp”
on page 5-41.
Never attempt to start the engine by pushing
or pulling the vehicle.
It may become difficult to press down on the
brake pedal when the Hybrid EV System is
not started, and it may not be possible to
detect operation of the pedal. The Hybrid EV
System may not start for this reason. If this
happens, press down on the brake pedal more
firmly than usual.
Do not press the power switch while holding
the selector lever at the operated position.
Continue to depress the brake pedal until the
READY indicator in the instrument cluster
stays on.
