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

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.

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”.

CAUTIONlBe sure to check the normal charge connec-
tor is removed from the normal charge port.Since it will change into the status that al-lows the vehicle to start when the power
switch is operated, this can result in an unex- pected accident if the normal charge connec-
tor is not locked completely.NOTEl Charging can be stopped half way. In this
case, also, pull out the normal charge con-nector while pressing the button. Pressingthe manual stop button on the control box
can also stop charging.
Refer to “EV charging cable” on page 3-07.
10. Close the inner lid and press the rear of
the normal charging lid until it clicks to close it.
NOTEl Make sure that the inner lid is completely
closed.
If the normal charging lid is forcibly closed
without completely closing inner lid, the hinge on the inner lid may be broken.
11. Remove the charging cable plug from
the outlet.
12. Install the cap on the normal charge con-
nector.WARNINGl After charging, be sure to close the inner
lid and the normal charging lid complete-
ly.
Be careful that water or dust does not en-
ter in the normal charge port, inner lid and normal charge connector.
Entry of water or dust could cause elec-
tric current leakage, resulting in a fire or electric shock.
l After charging, be sure to disconnect the
charge connector from the charge port.
If the charge connector is only partially
engaged and the connector latch is un-
locked, you could put the operation mode
of the power switch in “ON” and the vehi- cle could start moving. It could lead to an
unexpected accident.
l After charging, be sure to disconnect the
plug from the outlet.
If the plug is left connected to the outlet, immersion in water or tampering may
cause leakage or an electric shock.Quick charging (charging
method with quick
charger)* E08301401082WARNINGlBe sure to use the quick charger compati-
ble with Outlander PHEV.
Use of a non-compatible quick charger
may cause fire or malfunction.
For the quick charger compatible with Outlander PHEV, consult aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
l For operation of quick chargers, follow
the manual of each quick charger.
l If you use electro-medical apparatus such
as implantable cardiac pacemaker or im- plantable cardioverter-defibrillator, fol-
low the following precautions.
• Please do not use a quick charger.
• Keep away as much as possible from
the place where the quick charger is
stored. If you approach it carelessly, leave quickly without standing still.
• Please ask someone to perform the
quick charging if necessary.
l Before charging, make sure that there is
no foreign matter such as dust at the quick charge port and the quick charge
connector.
At this time, do not touch the quick charge port.
