2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV air conditioning

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.

CAUTIONlDuring quick charging, the quick charge
connector cannot be removed because it is locked. Do not touch or remove the quick
charge connector during charging. Doing so, the quick charge connector might be dam-
aged. If you want to stop the quick charging
on the way, stop the charging according to
the procedures of a quick charger, and re- move the quick charge connector after con-
firming the charging is stopped.NOTEl There is a hole on the charge port for water
drainage. If this hole is blocked and watergets 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 connec-
tor to connect while frozen could result in malfunction.
5. Connect the quick charge connector in
the quick charge port to begin charging.
For connecting and disconnecting, fol- low the instruction manual for each
quick charger.
6. Make sure that the charging indicator
(E) on the instrument cluster is illumina-
ted.If the charging indicator is not illumina-
ted, charging is not started.
Follow the manual of each quick charg-
er.
NOTEl When the quick charge connector is connec-
ted to the charge port, the charging indicator
is blinking. When charging is started, the charging indicator is illuminated.NOTEl If one of the doors is opened or the multi-in-
formation display switch is operated, thedrive battery level (F) displays in the multi-
information display and it can be checked
the drive battery level.
Although the predicted charging time dis- play (G) blinks, the charging time for thequick charging is about 30 minutes and dis-
played “--:--” in the screen and you cannot confirm the remaining charging time.
l Operation noise may be heard from the vehi-
cle body during quick charging.
This noise comes from the operation of the drive battery cooling system, and it is not a malfunction.
l Since the drive battery cooling system uses
cool air of the air conditioning, the air condi-tioning is automatically operated.
After quick charging, if the area under the vehicle is wet, transparent and loose, it is de- humidified water from the air conditioning
and not a malfunction.
7. Charging is complete when the charging
indicator turns off.
Disconnect the quick charge connector according to the manual of the quick
charger.

Economical drivingE00600102220
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting and acceleration
Avoid driving when the accelerator pedal ispushed way down, such as for unnecessarily sudden starts, acceleration and deceleration.
Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal.
Observe the speed limit and keep the speed
as constant as possible while driving.
Idling
Parking for a long period with the ready indi-
cator illuminated will shorten the cruising
range.
Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more drive
battery is consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of drive battery.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al- so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Air conditioning
Too much cooling/heating can affect the cruising range, so maintain an appropriatetemperature to extend the cruising range.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously im- paired even with blood alcohol levels far be-
low the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or
use public transportation. Drinking coffee or
taking a cold shower will not make you so- ber.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and re- action time. Consult with your doctor or
pharmacist before driving while under the in- fluence of any of these medications.WARNINGl NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired.Safe driving techniques
