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.

•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 toprevent unintended start-up of the sys-tem by inadvertent contact with a switchor impact from the crash.
zNever touch high-voltage wiring, connec-tors, and other high-vol
tage parts, such as
the inverter unit and drive battery. Anelectric shock may occur if exposed elec-tric wires are visible when viewed frominside or outside of
your vehicle. For their
locations, see “High-
voltage components”
on page 2-7.zIf the vehicle receives a strong impact tothe floor while driving, stop the vehicle ina safe place and
check the floor.
zNever start the plug-in hybrid EV systemif you found the leak
of a liquid (except
water of the air conditioner) while check-ing the outside of the vehicle because thereis possibility the fuel system has beendamaged and causing of fire or exploding.In such case, immediately contact yourMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Ser-vice Point.WA R N I N G
zLeaks or damage to the drive battery mayresult in a fire. If you discover them, con-tact emergency services immediately.Since the fluid leak may be lithium man-ganite from the Lithium-ion battery, nevertouch any fluid leaking from the inside oroutside of the vehicle. If the fluid contactsyour skin or eyes, wash
it off immediately
with a large amount of water and receiveimmediate medical attention to help avoidserious injury.zIf you are unable to safely assess the vehi-cle due to vehicle damage, do not touchthe vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contactemergency services. Advise emergencyresponders that this is a Plug-in Hybridvehicle.zIf a fire occurs in this vehicle, leave thevehicle as soon as possible and contactemergency services. Do not attempt toextinguish a fire by yourself. If the fireinvolves a lithium-ion battery, it willrequire large, sustained volumes of waterfor extinguishment. Using a small amountof water or the incorrect fire extinguishercan result in serious injury or death fromelectrical shock.zWhen you leave the vehicle, if possible,open the windows, doors and tailgate toprevent accumulation of poisonous/com-bustible gasses. This will
also assist in the
rescue and fire fighting process.WA R N I N G
zAs with any vehicle fire, the byproducts ofcombustion can be toxic. Do not inhalesmoke, vapors, or gas from the vehicle.Move to a safe distance upwind and uphillfrom the vehicle fire and out of the way ofany oncoming traffic while awaiting thearrival of emergency responders.zIf you detect leaking fluids, sparks, smoke,flames, gurgling, popping or hissing noisesoriginating from the high voltage batterycompartment, contact emergency servicesimmediately. This may result in a fire.zPhysical damage to the vehicle or highvoltage battery may result in immediate ordelayed release of toxic and/or flammablegases and fire.zIf your vehicle needs to be towed, trans-port the vehicle on a
flatbed truck or tow
the vehicle with all wheels off the ground.If the any wheels are on the ground whentowing, this may cause damage to the elec-tric motors. This may also cause a fire, ifwiring in the electric motor unit roombecomes damaged. Refer to “Towing” onpage 9-19.zDo not attempt to repair a damaged Plug-in Hybrid vehicle by yourself. Please con-tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-ised Service Point for service.WA R N I N G

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.
