2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV battery

WARNINGlTo reduce the risk of electric shock or fire
due to electric leak, always use an earthed
outlet protected by a residual current de-
tector, rated for amperage equal to or greater than the value specified by MITSUBISHI MOTORS , and that is con-
nected to a dedicated branch circuit. If
the circuit is shared, and another electri- cal device is being used at the same time
the vehicle is charging, the circuit may heat abnormally, the breaker may trip
and the circuit may cause adverse inter-
ference on the household electrical appli- ances such as TVs and audio systems.
l It is possible to charge even in rain or
snow. However, be sure to pay attention
to the following:
• Do not touch normal charging port,
normal charge connector, outlet and plug with wet hands.
• Keep away from water when connect-
ing the normal charging port, normal
charge connector, outlet and plug.
• Do not perform the charging out-of-
doors with heavy rain, heavy snow, and strong winds or when bad weather isexpected in the future.
• Do not charge if there is possibility a
lightning strike. When thunder rum- bling begins suddenly during normal
charging, do not touch the vehicle and the EV charging cable and turn off the
breaker.WARNINGl If water goes into the normal charging
port or the normal charge connector, itcould cause a short circuit, a fire and an electric shock.
Make sure to completely close the charg- ing lid and the inner lid and do not leave
the EV charging cable outside.
l If the connected part of the charging plug
has been buried in snow while charging,
turn off the hand switch or the breaker connected with the outlet first, then re-
move the snow and disconnect the charg- ing plug. If your vehicle body has been
buried in snow while charging, remove the snow and then disconnect the charge
connector.
l When you perform the normal charging
at away from home, some normal charg-ers may not correspond to your vehicle.
Consult an administrator or a maker of the normal charger that it corresponds to
your vehicle before using it. Also perform
normal charging according to the operat-
ing procedure indicated on the body of normal charger.
l Do not open the charging lid for anything
other than charging and using the exter-
nal power feed.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to perform a jump start on
the auxiliary battery at the same time that the
drive battery is being charged. Doing so may
damage the vehicle or charging cable and
could cause injury.
Refer to “Emergency starting” on page 9-02.NOTEl Repeatedly performing only quick charging
may reduce the battery capacity.
In usual charge, normal charging is recom-
mended.
l To maintain the capacity of the drive battery,
the following is recommended:
• If you repeatedly perform only quick
charging, fully charge the vehicle in nor- mal charging mode every two weeks.
• Do not repeat charging near the full
charge level.
l The quick charging gives priority when the
normal charging and the quick charging are performed at the same time. At this time, thenormal charging will be stopped.
l Even if the operation mode of the power
switch is OFF, you may hear the operating sound of the cooling fan for cooling the
drive battery during charging.
This is not a malfunction.

NOTElIf your vehicle is not used for a long time,
check the energy level gauge every 3
months. If the gauge shows 0, charge the drive battery until some indication appears.
Alternately, put the operation mode of the power switch in “ON” to start the engine au-
tomatically, wait for the engine to stop auto- matically, then put the operation mode of the power switch in “OFF”.
l In the event of an electrical power outage
while charging, charging restarts automati-
cally with the restoration of electricity.
