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”.

Plug-in Hybrid EV System
2-04OGGE14E5General information2    

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.

WARNINGlSeat belts should always be worn by every
adult  who  drives  or  rides  in  this  vehicle,
and by all children who are tall enough to wear seat belts properly.
Other  children  should  always  use  proper child restraint systems.
l Always  place  the  shoulder  belt  over  your
shoulder and across your chest. Never put
it behind you or under your arm.
l One  seat  belt  should  be  used  by  only  one
person.  Doing  otherwise  can  be  danger-
ous.
l The  seat  belt  will  provide  its  wearer  with
maximum  protection  if  the  recliner  seat-
back  is  placed  in  fully  upright  position.
When  the  seatback  is  reclined,  there  is greater  risk  that  the  passenger  will  slide
under the belt, especially in a forward im-
pact  accident,  and  may  be  injured  by  the
belt or by striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
l Remove any twists when using the belt.
l No  modifications  or  additions  should  be
made  by  the  user  which  will  either  pre- vent  the  seat  belt  adjusting  devices  fromoperating  to  remove  slack,  or  prevent  the
seat  belt  assembly  from  being  adjusted  to
remove slack.
l Never  hold  a  child  in  your  arms  or  on
your  lap  when  riding  in  this  vehicle,  even
if you are wearing your seat belt. To do so risks  severe  or  fatal  injury  to  the  child  in
a collision or sudden stop.WARNINGl Always adjust the belt to a snug fit.
l Always  wear  the  lap  portion  of  the  belt
over your hips.3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
E00404901227
This  type  of  belt  requires  no  length  adjust- ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to the
movement of the wearer, but in the event of a sudden  or  strong  shock,  the  belt  automatical-
ly locks to hold the wearer’s body.
NOTEl You  can  check  if  the  belt  locks  by  pulling  it
forward quickly.
To fasten
1. Pull  the  seat  belt  out  slowly  while  hold-
ing the latch plate.
