Motion energy is converted into electric energy using the motor as a power generator.Then a braking force generates and converted electric energy will be charged to the drive battery.zIf you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal during driving, a braking force that equivalent to engine braking of a combusti
on engine vehicle
will be generated. Also, if you shift the select position into “B” (BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), effectiveness of the regenerative
braking is get-
ting strong. Shift the selector lever into “B” (
BRAKE) position according to the driving condition.
zRegenerative brake force increases with the foot brake force when the brake pedal is depressed.zIf a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid EV system, or if the
ABS and/or the ASC have been activated, the regenerative braking
will be
restricted. The foot brake will still operate.

zEven when the vehicle is driving in EVdrive mode, it may be automaticallychanged to series hybrid mode or parallelhybrid mode in the following cases:•The plug-in hybrid EV system is too hotor too cold.
•Quick acceleration is applied.•The air conditioner is operating.•The accelerator pedal is depressed hardon an uphill road or expressway.•In cold weather•The vehicle has not been refueled for along time.•The drive battery level is low.
In addition to the above, there are morecases where EV drive mode is automati-cally changed to series or parallel hybridmode.zEven while the vehicle is stopped, theengine may automatically be started in thefollowing cases:•The drive battery level is low.

zThe performance may be changed due tothe outside temperature.At low temperature, in particular, the EVcruising range is short and the chargingtime is long, compared to operation atnormal temperature.zThe battery is gradually discharged with-out use and the battery charge is lowered.zIt is not necessary to consume the batterycompletely before charging.zIf your vehicle is not used for a long time,check the drive battery level display every3 months.If the drive battery level display shows 0,charge the battery until some indicationappears. Alternately, put the operationmode of the power switch in “ON” to startthe engine automatically, wait for theengine to stop automatically, then put theoperation mode of the power switch in“OFF”.zMitsubishi Motors collects drive batteries.If you scrap your vehicle, please consult aMitsubishi Motors Authorised ServicePoint.

zEven if the charge level is the same, theEV cruising range may vary depending ondriving conditions. Since driving at highspeed or climbing on a hill requires higherconsumption of the drive battery thanusual, the EV cruising range is shortened.zSince the air conditioning (cooling orheating) consumes power of the drive bat-tery, its operation results in a shorter EVcruising range. Maintain an appropriatetemperature.zPut the selector lever to “B” (BRAKE)position according to the road condition.To c h a rg e t h e d r i v e b a t t e r y w i t h a p p r o p r i -ate use of the regenerative brake, it can beincreased the EV cruising range.

The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System(AVAS) is device that uses sound to alertpedestrians of the presence of the vehicle.The system operates when the vehicle speedis about 35 km/h or less and the engine is notrunning.Refer to “Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System(AVAS)” on page 7-24.
E00204200029
A crash or impact significant enough torequire an emergency response for conven-tional vehicles would also require the sameresponse for Outlander PHEV.Also follow the instructions described belowto avoid severe burns and electrical shock thatmay result in serious injury or death.

WA R N I N GzEven if the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys-tem (AVAS) sounds, pay special attentionto pedestrians.Pedestrians may not notice the oncomingvehicle, which may cause an accidentresulting in serious
personal injury or
death.
In case of a collision
WA R N I N GzIf your vehicle is dr
ivable, pull your vehi-
cle off the road to a safe, nearby locationand remain on the scene.Also, if possible, do the following opera-tions and stay out of the way of anyoncoming traffic while awaiting thearrival of emergency responders.•Apply chocks to the wheels.•Put the select position in “P”(PARK)position.•Apply the parking brake.

WA R N I N GzNever stop Plug-in Hybrid EV Systemduring running except in emergency. Theeffectiveness of the brake becomes verypoor and the steering wheel becomes veryheavy, which can easily lead to an acci-dent.NOTE
zDo not operate the pow
er switch during run-
ning except in emergency. If you have to stopPlug-in Hybrid EV System in emergencyduring running, continue
to press the power
switch for three seconds or longer or pressthe power switch three times or morequickly. Plug-in Hybrid EV System stops,the operation mode turns to ACC, and theselector lever position shifts to the “P” posi-tion at very slow speed.zIf you press the power switch when theselector lever position is other than “P” posi-tion while your vehicle is stopped, the selec-tor lever position automatically shifts to “P”position, Plug-in Hybrid EV System stops,and the power mode turns to “OFF”.
zIf the parking lock mechanism is faulty, awarning is displayed on the informationscreen in the multi-information display.When this warning is displayed, Plug-inHybrid EV System ca
nnot be stopped unless
you apply the parking brake and then pressthe power switch. Park on a flat place withthe parking brake securely applied. Haveyour vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorised Service Point.

NOTE
zDo not insert into the
key slot a
nything other
than the keyless operation key. This couldcause damage or a malfunction. zRemove the object or additional key from thekeyless operation key before inserting thekey into the key slot. The vehicle may not beable to receive the registered ID code fromthe registered key. Therefore, the Plug-inHybrid EV System may not start and theoperation mode may not change.

If the 4WD lock switch is pressed when thepower mode is “ON”, it will switch to “4WDLOCK.” It can use from a low-speed to high-speedoperation, and the driving stability improveson a wet road surface or a snowy road, etc. If the 4WD lock switch is pressed once again,it will return to “NORMAL.”. When the 4WD LOCK mode is activated, theabove display appears on the informationscreen in the multi-information display forsome seconds.

Emergency starting
WA R N I N GzTo s t a r t t h e P l u g - i n H y b r i d E V s y s t e musing jumper cables from another vehicle,perform the correct procedures accordingto the instruction below. Incorrect proce-dures could result in a fire, explosion, elec-tric shock or damage
to the vehicles.
zKeep sparks, cigarettes and flames awayfrom the battery because the battery mayproduce an explosion.CAUTIONzThe Plug-in Hybrid EV system cannot bestarted by pulling or pushing the vehicle.zCheck the other vehicle.
It must have a 12-
volt battery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt,shorting can damage
both vehicles.
zUse the proper cables suitable for the batterysize to prevent overhea
ting of the cables.
zCheck the jumper cables for damage and cor-rosion before use.zAlways wear protect
ive eye goggles when
working near the battery.zKeep the battery out of the reach of children.zDo not attempt jump starting the auxiliarybattery while the drive battery is beingcharged. Doing so could damage the vehicleor charging equipment.NOTE
zIf the auxiliary battery is disconnected, theoperation mode of the power switch is mem-orized. When a booster
battery is connected
by jumper cables, the operation mode returnsto the state before the auxiliary battery rundown.Pay due attention if you do not know theoperation mode before
the auxiliary battery
was fully discharged.zIf the auxiliary battery is fully dischargedwith the select position in the “P” (PARK)position, the select position cannot bechanged to other position from the “P”(PARK) position in some cases. In such acase, the front wheels have been locked.Therefore, the vehicle cannot be moved.CAUTION
