Regenerative braking
Motion energy is converted into electric ener-
gy using the motor as a power generator.
Then a braking force generates and converted electric energy will be charged to the drive
battery.
l If you lift your foot off the accelerator
pedal during driving, a braking force that
is equivalent to engine braking of a com- bustion engine vehicle will be generated.
Also, if you shift the select position into “B” (BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), ef-
fectiveness of the regenerative braking is getting stronger. Shift the selector lever into “B” (BRAKE) position according to
the driving condition.
l Regenerative brake force increases with
the foot brake force when the brake ped-
al is depressed.
l If a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid
EV system, or if the ABS and/or the ASC have been activated, the regenera-
tive braking will be restricted. The foot brake will still operate.Operation of gasoline engine
E00203700030
l Even when the vehicle is driving in EV
drive mode, it may be automatically
changed to series hybrid mode or paral-
lel hybrid mode in the following cases: • The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• Quick acceleration is applied.
• The air conditioner is operating.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed
hard on an uphill road or expressway.
• In cold weather
• The vehicle has not been refueled for
a long time.
• The drive battery level is low.
In addition to the above, there are more
cases where EV drive mode is automati-
cally changed to series or parallel hybrid mode.
l Even while the vehicle is stopped, the
engine may automatically be started in the following cases: • The drive battery level is low.
• The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• The air conditioner is used.
• The vehicle has not been used for a
long time.
• The engine has not been operated for a long time.Refueling (gasoline)
E00203800028
l If the warning display appears, refuel as
soon as possible.
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the engine will not start even in a situation need to be generated electricity, the following
conditions will occur. • The driving performance falls (since
only the electrical power stored in the drive battery can be used for the driv-
ing).
• The heating performance cannot be
available (except vehicles with elec-
tric heater).
• The effectiveness of the heater is in-
sufficient (vehicles with electric heat-er).
• The catalytic converter may be dam-
aged due to excessive high tempera- ture.

Refer to “Fuel remaining display screen” on page 6-10.

CAUTIONlDepending on the operating conditions of
your vehicle, the fuel in the fuel tank may
not be used for a long time and stay in the tank, resulting in deterioration of the fuel
quality. As this may affect the engine and fuel system parts, observe the following in-
structions:
• Run the engine by pressing the battery
charge switch at least once in 3 months.
Refer to “Battery charge switch” on page 7-22.
• Refuel 20 litres or more of fuel every 6
months (to make the total refueling amount in 6 months be 20 litres or more).
l If refueling of the above amount is not possi-
ble due to a high fuel level because the vehi-
cle has not been used for a long time or for
some other reason, consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.Drive battery
E00203900032
WARNINGl A sealed lithium ion high voltage battery
is adopted for Outlander PHEV. If the
drive battery is disposed of improperly, there is a risk of severe burns and electri-
cal shock that may result in serious injury
or death and there is also a risk of envi- ronmental damage.WARNINGl Never attempt to use the drive battery for
any other purpose.
l It is the battery to operate the motor and
the air conditioning.
In addition to the drive battery, Outland-
er PHEV has the auxiliary battery to op-
erate lamps, wipers, etc.
l Compact, light-weight lithium ion bat-
tery with high energy density is used forthe drive battery.
l The drive battery has the following char-
acteristics.
Please read this carefully paying atten- tion to the following:
Characteristics
l The same as ordinary lithium-ion batter-
ies, the battery capacity of the drive bat-
tery gradually reduces with time, result- ing in reduced cruising range. Depend-
ing on the usage conditions, such as fre- quent quick acceleration/deceleration, repeated frequent use of the quick charg-
er, extremely hot weather, storing the vehicle in high ambient temperatures, etc., the rate of battery capacity drop willincrease.
l The performance may be changed due to
the outside temperature.
At low temperature, in particular, the EV cruising range is short and the charging
time is long, compared to operation at normal temperature.
l The battery is gradually discharged with-
out use and the battery charge is low- ered.
l It is not necessary to consume the bat-
tery completely before charging.
Precautions for operation
l If your vehicle is not used for a long
time, check the drive battery level dis- play every 3 months.
If the drive battery level display shows
0, charge the battery until some indica-
tion appears. Alternately, put the opera- tion mode of the power switch in “ON”to start the engine automatically, wait for
the engine to stop automatically, then
put the operation mode of the power
switch in “OFF”.

EV cruising range
E00204000027
l Even if the charge level is the same, the
EV cruising range may vary depending
on driving conditions. Since driving at high speed or climbing on a hill requireshigher consumption of the drive batterythan usual, the EV cruising range is
shortened.
l Since the air conditioning (cooling or
heating) consumes power of the drive battery, its operation results in a shorterEV cruising range. Maintain an appro-
priate temperature.
l Put the selector lever to “B” (BRAKE)
position according to the road condition. To charge the drive battery with appro-priate use of the regenerative brake, it can be increased the EV cruising range.
Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys-
tem (AVAS)
E00204100031
The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
(AVAS) is a device that uses sound to alert pedestrians of the presence of the vehicle.The system operates when the vehicle speed
is about 35 km/h (22 mph) or less and the en-
gine is not running.
Refer to “Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
(AVAS)” on page 7-23.
WARNINGl Even if the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys-
tem (AVAS) sounds, pay special attention
to pedestrians.
Pedestrians may not notice the oncoming vehicle, which may cause an accident re-
sulting in serious personal injury or death.Operating sound under charg-
ing or remote climate control
E000204600023
Even if the operation mode of the power
switch is OFF, you may hear the operating
sound such as cooling fan for cooling the
drive battery during charging, the air condi- tioning compressor and for remote climate control (if so equipped).
But this is not a malfunction.
Refer to “Remote Climate Control” on page
3-23.
In case of a collision
E00204200032
A crash or impact significant enough to re-
quire an emergency response for convention- al vehicles would also require the same re-sponse for Outlander PHEV.
Also follow the instructions described below to avoid severe burns and electrical shock
that may result in serious injury or death.
WARNINGl 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 on-
coming traffic while awaiting the arrival of emergency responders.
• Apply chocks to the wheels.
• Put the select position in “P” (PARK)
position.
• Apply the parking brake.
• Open the windows, doors and tailgate.
• Put the operation mode in 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.
l Never touch high-voltage wiring, connec-
tors, and other high-voltage parts, such as the inverter unit and drive battery. Anelectric shock may occur if exposed elec-
tric wires are visible when viewed from inside or outside of your vehicle. For their locations, see “High-voltage components”
on page 3-12.
l If the vehicle receives a strong impact to
the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in
a safe place and check the floor.
