zWhen the ambient temperature is approximately 45 °C or higher, the phenomena described below may occur. Please take the describ
ed action.
WA R N I N GzThe Plug-in Hybrid EV System uses highvoltage up to DC 300 volt. The system canbe hot during and after starting and whenthe vehicle is shut off. Be careful of boththe high voltage and
the high temperature.
Follow the warning labels that areattached to the vehicle.zAlways assume the
high voltage battery
and associated components are energizedand fully charged.zNever perform servicing when READYindicator is illuminating or when thecharging indicator is
illuminating or flash-
ing because the high-voltage system isoperating.
For persons with electro-medi-cal apparatus such as implanta-ble cardiac pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defi-brillator
WA R N I N GzDo not bring your body close to the footarea of the rear seat and do not stay in theluggage compartment wh
ile the vehicle is
moving. Also, do not allow persons usingan electro-medical apparatus to stay in theluggage compartment wh
ile the vehicle is
moving. The operation
of electro-medical
apparatus may be affected.zBefore you perform charging work, askthe manufacturer of your electro-medicalapparatus about the effect from chargingwork. Charging may affect the operationof your electro-medical apparatus.Refer to “Normal charging (chargingmethod with rated AC 240 V outlet)” onpage 3-8.
zObserve the following precautions for nor-mal charging:•Keep away from the charge connector orcontrol box.•Do not stay inside
of the vehicle.
•Do not get in the vehicle (including theluggage comapartment) to take outsomething or for other purpose. Refer to “Normal charging (chargingmethod with rated AC 240 V outlet)” onpage 3-8.WA R N I N G

A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain alco-hol) and 90 % unleaded petrol may be used in
your vehicle, provided the octane number isat least as high as that recommended forunleaded petrol.
NOTE
z*1: Refer to “Limited driving mode
warning display” on page 6-33.
Display of the Limited driving mode warni
ng display does not i
ndicate a malfunction.
z*2: Refer to “ready indicator” on page 6-37.
z*3: To make warm up the drive battery, you shoul
d perform to communicate with the wireless
LAN device (which conforms to IEEE 802
.11 b and supports
iOS or Android) for MITSUBISHI Remote Cont
rol to the vehicle. If the information of
“” mark on the wireless LAN device is displ
ayed, connect the
EV charging cable as soon as possible.Refer to “MITSUBISHI Remote
Control” on page 3-17.
If the warming up of the drive battery is activated during home

Filling the fuel tank

45 litres1. Before filling with fuel, stop the plug-inhybrid EV system.
NOTE
zPoor quality petrol can cause problems suchas hard starting, sta
lling, engine noise and
hesitation. If your experience these prob-lems, try another brand and/or grade of pet-rol.If the check engine
warning lamp flashes,
have the system checked as soon as possibleat a MITSUBISHI MOTORS AuthorisedService Point.
Filling the fuel tank
WA R N I N GzWhen handling fuel, comply with thesafety regulations displayed by garagesand filling stations.zGasoline is highly flammable and explo-sive. You could be burned or seriouslyinjured when handling it. When refuelingyour vehicle, always
put the operation
mode of the power switch in OFF andkeep away from flames, sparks, and smok-ing materials. Always handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoor areas.zBefore removing the fuel cap, be sure toget rid of your body’s static electricity bytouching a metal part of the car or fuelpump. Any static electricity on your bodycould create a spark that ignites fuelvapor.
zPerform the whole refueling process(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do notlet any other person come near the fueltank filler. If you allowed a person to helpyou and that person was carrying staticelectricity, fuel vapor could be ignited.zDo not perform chargi
ng and refueling at
the same time. If you charged with staticelectricity, fuel vapor could be ignited bythe discharge spark.zDo not move away from the fuel tank filleruntil refueling is finished. If you movedaway and did something else (for example,sitting on a seat) part-way through therefueling process, you could pick up afresh charge of st
atic electricity.
zBe careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuelcontains toxic substances.zKeep the doors and windows closed whilerefueling the vehicle. If they were open,fuel vapor could get into the cabin.zIf the tank cap must be replaced, use onlya MITSUBIHI MOTORS original part.WA R N I N G
CAUTIONzDepending on the opera
ting conditions of
your vehicle, the fuel in the fuel tank maynot be used for a long time and stay in thetank, resulting in deterioration of the fuelquality. As this may af
fect the engine and
fuel system parts, observe the followinginstructions:•Run the engine by pressing the batterycharge switch at least once in 3 months.Refer to “Battery charge switch” on page7-23.• Refuel 20 litres or more of fuel every 6months (to make the total refueling amountin 6 months be 20 litres or more).
zIf 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 forsome other reason, consult a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorised Service Point.

CAUTIONzSince the fuel system
may be under pressure,
remove the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly.This relieves any pressure or vacuum thatmight have built up in the fuel tank. If youhear a hissing sound, wait until it stopsbefore removing the cap. Otherwise, fuelmay spray out, injuring you or others.NOTE
zWhile filling with fuel, hang the fuel cap onthe hook (A) located on the inside of the fueltank filler door.CAUTIONzDo not tilt the gun.
