zIt is the battery to operate the motor andthe air conditioning.In addition to the drive battery, OutlanderPHEV has the auxiliary battery to operatelamps, wipers, etc.zCompact, light-weight lithium ion batterywith high energy density is used for thedrive battery.zThe drive battery has the following char-acteristics.Please read this carefully paying attentionto the following:zThe same as ordinary lithium-ion batter-ies, the battery capacity of the drive bat-tery gradually reduces with time, resultingin reduced cruising range. Depending onthe usage conditions, such as frequentquick acceleration/deceleration,extremely hot weather, storing the vehiclein high ambient temperatures, etc., therate of battery capacity drop will increase.
Refueling (gasoline)
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.
Drive battery
WA R N I N GzA sealed lithium ion
high voltage battery
(drive battery) is
adopted for Outlander
PHEV. If the drive battery is disposed ofimproperly, there is a
risk of severe burns
and electrical shock that may result inserious injury or death and there is also arisk of environmental damage.
zNever attempt to use the drive battery forany other purpose.

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.
E00204000027
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.
E00204100028
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.
Precautions for operation
EV cruising range Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys-tem (AVAS)
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.

All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. We recommend you to have thevehicle checked at regular intervals accordingto the service booklet.The service brake is divided into two brakecircuits. And your vehicle is equipped withpower brakes. If one brake circuit fails, theother is available to stop the vehicle. If yourvehicle should lose the power assist for somereason, the brakes will still work. In these sit-uations, even if the brake pedal moves downto the very end of its possible stroke or resists
being depressed, keep depressing the brakepedal down harder and further than usual;stop driving as soon as possible and have thebrake system repaired.The brake warning lamp illuminates to indi-cate a fault in the braking system. A warningis also displayed on the multi information dis-play. Refer to “Brake warning lamp” and“Brake warning display” on page 6-37, 6-39.Check the brake system while driving at alow speed immediately after starting, espe-cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv-ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, orafter the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, drythe brakes out by driving slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal.
zIf the AVAS OFF switch is continuouslypressed after the AVAS is turned off, theincorrect operation prevention functionworks and then the system returns to turningon.
Braking
CAUTIONzAv o i d d r i v i n g h a b i t s t h a t c a u s e h e a v y b r a k -ing and never “ride” the brakes by restingyour foot on the brake pedal while driving.It causes brake overheating and fade.
Brake system
NOTE
WA R N I N GzDo not turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EVSystem while your vehicle is in motion. Ifyou turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys-tem while driving, the power assistancefor the braking system will stop workingand your brakes will not work effectively.zIf the power assist is lost or if either brakehydraulic system stops working properly,have your vehicle checked immediately.
Warn i ng d is p l a y When brakes are wet
When driving downhill
WA R N I N GzDo not leave any obje
cts near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it;doing so could prevent the full pedalstroke that would be necessary in anemergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe operated freely at all times. Make surethe floor mat is securely held in place.CAUTIONzPut the selector lever to “B” position accord-ing to the grade of a slope or the speed in along downward slope, and use the regenera-tive brake together. If you depress the brake pedal and slowingdown is repeated frequently, the foot brakemay be overheated and effectiveness mayworsen.

The power steering system operates while thePlug-in Hybrid EV System is operating.It helps reduce the effort needed to turn thesteering wheel.The power steering system has mechanicalsteering capability in case the power assist islost. If the power assist
is lost for some rea-
son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-cle, but you will notice it takes much moreeffort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi-cle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point.
If there is a malfunction in the system, thewarning display will appear on the informa-tion screen in the multi information display.

WA R N I N GzDo not stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV Systemwhile the vehicle is moving. Stopping thePlug-in Hybrid EV System would makethe steering wheel extremely hard to turn,possibly resulting in an accident.
NOTE
zDuring repeated full-lock turning of thesteering wheel (for example, while you aremanoeuvring the vehicle into a parkingspace), a protection function may be acti-vated to prevent overheating of the powersteering system. This function will make thesteering wheel gradually harder to turn. Inthis event, limit your turning of the steeringwheel for a while. When the system hascooled down, the steering effort will returnto normal.zIf you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-cle is stationary with the headlamps on, theheadlamps may become dim. This behaviouris not abnormal. The headlamps will returnto their original brightness after a shortwhile.
