2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV key battery

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.

Keyless operation system
E00305601738
The keyless operation system allows you tolock and unlock the doors and tailgate andstart the engine simply by carrying the key-less operation key with you.
The keyless operation key can also be used as
the keyless entry system remote control
switch.
Refer to “Keyless entry system” on page 4-03.

The driver should always carry the keyless
operation key. This key is necessary for lock-
ing and unlocking the doors and tailgate,
starting the engine and otherwise operating the vehicle, so before locking and leaving the vehicle, be sure to check that you have the
keyless operation key.WARNINGl People with implantable cardiac pace-
makers or implantable cardiovascular-de-
fibrillators should not go near the exterior
transmitters (A) or the interior transmit- ters (B). The radio waves used by the key-
less operation system could adversely af- fect implantable cardiac pacemakers orimplantable cardiovascular-defibrillators.

WARNINGlWhen using electro-medical devices other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators,
contact the electromedical device manu- facturer ahead of time to determine theaffects of radio waves on the devices. Elec-
tromedical device operations could be ad-
versely effected by radio waves.
You can limit the possible operations of
the keyless operation system in the fol-
lowing ways. (The keyless operation system can be used as a keyless entry system.) Please consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. • You can limit operations to locking
and unlocking the doors and tailgate.
• You can limit operations to starting
the engine.
• The keyless operation system can be
disabled.
When keyless operation system opera- tions are modified, the operating trans-mitters are as follows. • Only locking and unlocking doors or
tailgate: exterior transmitter and inte-
rior transmitters
• Only starting the engine: interior
transmitter
NOTEl The keyless operation key uses an ultra-
weak electromagnetic wave. In the following
cases, the keyless operation system may not
operate properly or may be unstable.
• When there is equipment nearby that
emits strong radio waves, such as: a pow-
er station, a radio/TV broadcasting station or an airport.
• The keyless operation system is carried
together with a communications device such as a cellular phone or radio set, or
with an electronic device such as a per- sonal computer.
• The keyless operation key is touching or
covered by a metal object.
• A keyless entry system is being used
nearby.
• When the keyless operation key battery is
worn out.
• When the keyless operation key is placed
in an area with strong radio waves or noise.
In such cases, use the emergency key.
Refer to “To operate without using the
keyless operation function” on page 4-14.NOTEl Because the keyless operation key receives
signals in order to communicate with the transmitters in the vehicle, the battery con-tinually wears down regardless of keylessoperation key use. The battery life is 1 to 3
years, depending on usage conditions. When the battery wears out, replace the battery ac-cording to the description in this manual or
have it replaced at your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Refer to “Procedure for replacing the remote control switch battery” on page 4-05.
l Because the keyless operation key continual-
ly receives signals, strong radio wave recep-
tion could affect battery wear. Do not leave
the key near a TV, personal computer, or other electronic device.Operating range of the keyless
