2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV battery capacity

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

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”.

Plug-in Hybrid EV System
2-04OGGE14E5General information2

WARNINGlNever start the plug-in hybrid EV system
if you have found liquid leaking (exceptwater of the air conditioner) while check- ing the outside of the vehicle. The fuel sys-
tem might have been damaged and might be causing fire or explosion.
In such case, immediately contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
l Leaks or damage to the drive battery may
result in a fire. If you discover them, con-
tact emergency services immediately.
Since the fluid leak may be lithium man- ganite from the Lithium-ion battery, nev- er touch any fluid leaking from the inside
or outside of the vehicle. If the fluid con- tacts your skin or eyes, wash it off imme-
diately with a large amount of water and receive immediate medical attention to
help avoid serious injury.
l If you are unable to safely assess the vehi-
cle due to vehicle damage, do not touch the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact
emergency services. Advise emergency responders that this is a Plug-in Hybrid
vehicle.WARNINGl If a fire occurs in this vehicle, leave the
vehicle as soon as possible and contact
emergency services. Do not attempt to ex- tinguish a fire by yourself. If the fire in-
volves a lithium-ion battery, it will re- quire large, sustained volumes of water for extinguishment. Using a small amount
of water or the incorrect fire extinguisher
can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
l When you leave the vehicle, if possible,
open the windows, doors and tailgate to
prevent accumulation of poisonous/ combustible gasses. This will also assist in
the rescue and fire fighting process.
l As with any vehicle fire, the byproducts of
combustion can be toxic. Do not inhale
smoke, vapors, or gas from the vehicle. Move to a safe distance upwind and uphill
from the vehicle fire and out of the way of any oncoming traffic while awaiting the
arrival of emergency responders.
l If you detect leaking fluids, sparks,
smoke, flames, gurgling, popping or hiss-
ing noises originating from the high volt- age battery compartment, contact emer-
gency services immediately. This may re- sult in a fire.
l Physical damage to the vehicle or high
voltage battery may result in immediate or delayed release of toxic and/or flamma- ble gases and fire.WARNINGl If your vehicle needs to be towed, trans-
port the vehicle on a flatbed truck or tow
the vehicle with all wheels off the ground.
If any of the wheels are on the ground when towing, this may cause damage to
the electric motors. This may also cause a
fire, if wiring in the electric motor unit room becomes damaged. Refer to “Tow-
ing” on page 9-18.
l Do not attempt to repair a damaged Plu-
gin Hybrid vehicle by yourself. Please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point for service.
l In the event of an accident that requires
body repair and painting, the vehicle should be delivered to a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point to
have the drive battery and high voltage parts such as the inverter, including the
attached wiring harness, removed prior to painting. If exposed to heat in the paint
booth, the drive battery will experience battery capacity loss.
A damaged drive battery can also pose
safety risks to untrained mechanics and repair personnel.NOTEl The emergency shut-off system will be acti-
vated and the high-voltage system will auto- matically turn off under the following condi-
tions:

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.
