2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV battery location

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.
