Operation of petrol engine
NOTE
 If the select position “B” (REGENERATIVE
BRAKE) is selected when the drive battery
is near full charge, or when it becomes hot or
cold, the engine is driven by the generator to
consume regenerative power and support
regenerative braking. At this time, the EV
priority mode is cancelled. When the select
position is switched to “D” (DRIVE), the
engine will stop and the EV priority mode
can be selected again.
Refuelling (petrol)
CAUTION
 If the fuel remaining warning display
appears, refuel immediately.
 Do not repeatedly start and stop the Hybrid
EV System. In order to protect the drive bat-
tery, the Hybrid EV System may become
unable to start.
If the Hybrid EV System cannot be started
even after refuelling, please contact an
authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
