NOTE
l There
is a hole on the charge port for water
drainage. If this hole is blocked and water
gets trapped in the charge port, do not
charge. Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
l If the charge port is frozen, melt the ice us-
ing a hair drier. Forcing the charge connector
to connect while frozen could result in mal-
function.
5. Connect the quick charge connector in the quick charge port to begin charging.
For connecting and disconnecting, follow the
instruction manual for each quick charger.
6. Make sure that the charging indicator on the instrument cluster is illuminated. If the charging indicator is not illuminated,

l When
the regular charge connector is connec-
ted to the charge port, the charging indicator
is blinking. When charging is started, the
charging indicator is illuminated.
l The charge level for traction battery can be
checked with the energy level gauge (F) on
the instrument cluster.
Refer to “Energy level gauge” on page 4-06. l
Operation
noise may be heard from the ve-
hicle body during quick charging.
This noise comes from operation of the
traction battery cooling system, and it is
not a malfunction.
l Since the traction battery cooling system
uses cool air of the air conditioning, the
air conditioning is automatically operated.
After quick charging, if the area under
the vehicle is wet, transparent and loose,
it is dehumidified water from the air con-
ditioning and not a malfunction.
7. Charging is complete when the charging indi- cator turns off. Disconnect the quick charge connector ac-
cording to the manual of the quick charger. CAUTION
l
As
the quick charge connector is heavier
in comparison to the regular charge con-
nector, allowing it to drop could cause
damage to the vehicle or charge connec-
tor or personal injury. When removing
the connector, be sure to pull it out
straight and as carefully as possible.
l Do not leave the quick charge connector
connected to the quick charge port after
charging.
Doing so, someone might stumble and it
could cause an injury or the quick charg-
ing connection might be damaged by play-
ing it.
8. Close
the inner lid and close the quick charg- ing lid. WARNING
l After
charging, be sure to close the inner
lid and the quick charging lid completely.
Be careful that water or dust does not en-
ter in the quick charge port, inner lid and
quick charge connector.
Entry of water or dust could cause fire,
electric shock or short circuit. Charging
