A crash or impact significant enough to
require an emergency response for conven-
tional vehicles would also require the same
response for this vehicle.
Also follow the instructions described below
to avoid severe burns and electrical shock that
may result in serious injury or death.
In case of a collision
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 Electric parking brake.
• Open the windows, doors and tailgate.
•Put the operation mode of the power
switch is 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 drive battery. An
electric shock may occur if exposed elec-
tric wires are visible when viewed from
inside or outside of your vehicle. For their
locations, refer to “High-voltage compo-
nents” on page 2-9.
If the vehicle receives a strong impact to
the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in
a safe place and check the floor.
Never start the Hybrid EV System if you
found the leak of a liquid (except water of
the air conditioning) while checking the
outside of the vehicle because there is pos-
sibility the fuel system has been damaged
and causing of fire or exploding.
In such case, immediately contact an
authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS
dealer.
Leaks or damage to the drive battery may
result in a fire. If you discover them, con-
tact emergency services immediately.
Since the fluid leak may be lithium man-
ganite from the drive battery, never touch
any fluid leaking from the inside or out-
side of the vehicle. If the fluid contacts
your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately
with a large amount of water and receive
immediate medical attention to help avoid
serious injury.
If you are unable to safely assess the vehi-
cle due to vehicle damage, do not touch
the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact
emergency services.
Advise emergency responders that this is a
Hybrid vehicle.
If a fire occurs in this vehicle, leave the
vehicle as soon as possible and contact
emergency services. Do not attempt to
extinguish a fire by yourself. If the fire
involves a lithium-ion battery, it will
require large, sustained volumes of water
for extinguishment. Using a small amount
of water or the incorrect fire extinguisher
can result in serious injury or death from
electrical shock.
When you leave the vehicle, if possible,
open the windows, doors and tailgate to
prevent accumulation of poisonous/com-
bustible gasses. This will also assist in the
rescue and fire fighting process.
