Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system
What is the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system?
— In Electric Vehicle Drive Mode, the vehicle is driven only by the electric motors, just like an electric vehicle, up to a certain distance, using the electricity stored in the battery. When the battery charge is low or when powerful acceleration is needed, the vehicle operates in Series Hybrid Mode. In high-speed driving, the vehicle is driven by the engine in Parallel Hybrid Mode.
— The high-performance electric motors greatly reduce noise and vibration while driving and provide powerful acceleration.
— The regenerative braking system automatically starts to charge the battery when the accelerator pedal is released.
Electric Vehicle ‘EV’ Drive Mode
The vehicle is driven only by the motors, using electricity stored in the battery.
Series Hybrid Mode
When the battery level is low, or during rapid acceleration or hill climbing, the vehicle is driven only by the motors using petrol engine-generated electricity.
Parallel Hybrid Mode
In high-speed driving, when the engine runs efficiently, the vehicle is driven by the engine and is assisted by the motors when necessary.
MULTI DISPLAY METER
In each case, the flow of energy is displayed on the instrument cluster and/or centre display.

Regenerative Braking system
Similar to engine braking on engine-powered vehicles, the electric motors act as generators when the accelerator pedal is released or the brake pedal is depressed while driving. In this way, kinetic energy is converted into electric energy, which is then used to charge the battery.
The flow of energy during regenerative braking is displayed on the instrument cluster.
The intensity of regenerative braking can be selected from two levels, using the gear selector lever. Using the paddles, the intensity can be selected from six levels.*
* Lightly touching the brake pedal when in regenerative mode will increase the regenerative effort rather than wasting the kinetic energy into brake heat and wear to brake components.

6. If the battery temperature becomes too high, charging may stop.
7. Open the cap on the normal charge connector. Hold the handle of the connector and, without pressing the button, insert the connector until it clicks.
8. The charging indicator on the instrument cluster should illuminate. It goes out when charging is completed.

MITSUBISHI Remote Control* enables timed charging and air conditioning on your OUTLANDER PLUG-IN HYBRID. For details, go to mmnz.co.nz/plug-in-hybrid
Charging indicator
* MITSUBISHI Remote Control enables you to remotely control your OUTLANDER PLUG-IN HYBRID using dedicated applications over a connection between your vehicle and a wireless LAN device. Available on VRX models only.
If the charge cable is connected to the charge port, it is not possible to start the vehicle. Operation of the radio, heater, and air conditioning is possible when connected to the charge port.
Once the battery is completely charged, the on board charging system will stop charging the vehicle. There is
no need to unplug the vehicle until use of the vehicle is required.

07 Power switch
Using the keyless operation key, you can start or stop the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system or switch between the power modes if the key is located within its operation range shown on the left.
• To start the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system, engage the parking brake, depress the brake pedal, and then press the power switch. The READY indicator on the instrument cluster should stop blinking and stay constantly illuminated, indicating that the startup has been completed.
• To stop the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system, stop the vehicle, press the electrical parking switch, set the selector position to and then press the power switch.
• If the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system needs to be stopped immediately in an emergency while driving, press and hold the power switch for more than 3 seconds or press it at least three times in quick succession. (This should not be carried out except in an emergency.)
Operation range of the key

• To switch between the power modes (OFF/ACC/ON), press the power switch without depressing the brake pedal. The selected power mode can be identified by the colour of the indicator lamp on the switch. The indicator lamp on the
switch is not illuminated while the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system is off.
• If you cannot start the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system or switch between the power modes, the keyless operation key may be in a place where the signal is poor or the key’s battery may have run out.

10 Active Stability Control (ASC) OFF switch
Pressing and holding the ASC OFF switch for more than 3 seconds deactivates the active stability control and the ASC OFF indicator illuminates on the instrument cluster. Pressing the switch again reactivates the control.
11 Multi information display switch
This switch is used to change the information shown on the multi information display between warnings, service reminder, average fuel consumption and others.

Pressing the switch again deactivates the demister. Alternatively, after about 15 to 20 minutes, the demister automatically turns off. Use the demister only when the READY
indicator is illuminated to prevent the auxiliary battery from going dead.
04 ECO Mode switch
The ECO mode supports fuel-efficient eco driving by automatically controlling the plug-in hybrid Electric Vehicle system and the air conditioner.
When the READY indicator is illuminated, pressing the ECO mode switch activates the ECO mode.
Pressing the switch again deactivates the ECO mode. While the ECO mode is active, the relevant indicator lamp on the instrument cluster stays illuminated.
02 Hazard warning flasher switch
Use the hazard warning flasher when you have to park your vehicle on the road
such as when a failure has occurred.
When the switch is pressed, all of the turn-signal lamps and the corresponding indicator lamps on the instrument cluster start blinking. When the switch is pressed again, the lamps and indicators stop blinking.
03 Rear window demister switch
When the power switch is set to ON,
pressing this switch activates the rear window demister and the indicator lamp on the switch illuminates.
