E00200204191WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and filling stations.
l Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-
sive. You could be burned or seriously in-
jured when handling it. When refueling
your vehicle, always put the operation mode of the power switch in OFF and
keep away from flames, sparks, and
smoking materials. Always handle fuel in wellventilated outdoor areas.
l Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of the car or fuel pump. Any static electricity on your body
could create a spark that ignites fuel va- pour.
l Perform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-
ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not let any other person come near the fuel
tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you and that person was carrying static electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited.
l Do not perform charging and refueling at
the same time. If you charged with static
electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited by the discharge spark.

WARNINGlDo not move away from the fuel tank fill-
er until refueling is finished. If you moved away and did something else (for exam-
ple, sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up afresh charge of static electricity.
l Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel
contains toxic substances.
l Keep the doors and windows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,fuel vapour could get into the cabin.
l If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.CAUTIONl The fuel in the fuel tank may not be con-
sumed and it may stagnate for a long time
depending on the use situation of the vehi- cle, the quality of fuel may change, and it
may have a bad influence on the engine or the parts of a fuel system.
Observe the following instructions for pre-
vention.
• Press the battery charge switch to start the
engine within three months at once.Refer to “Battery charge switch” on page
7-22.CAUTION• Refill the fuel more than 15 litres at once
within three months. If the fuel remaining display will be below half, you can refill
the fuel more than 15 litres certainly. Refer to “Fuel remaining display screen” on page 6-10.

NOTElWhen the normal charge connector is con-
nected to the charge port, the charging indi-
cator will blink. When charging is started, the charging indicator is illuminated and thecharging port courtesy lamp blinks 3 timesand then goes off automatically.
l If you want to confirm the drive battery level
or the predicted charging time during charg- ing, one of the doors is opened or the multi
information display switch is operated, the drive battery level display (I) appears and
the predicted charging time display (J) ap- pears in the multi information display.
In addition, when the remaining time is less than 1 hour, the predicted charging time dis-
play (J) appears --:-- and does not indicate a
malfunction.
9. Charging is complete when the charging
indicator turns off. Pull out the normal
charge connector while pressing the but-
ton (K).
CAUTIONl Be sure to check the normal charge connec-
tor is removed from the normal charge port.The vehicle can be driven with the charge
connector inserted when it is not locked completely which may result in a serious ac-
cident.
Be sure the charge connector is removed
completely from the vehicle after the charg- ing is completed.NOTEl Charging can be stopped half way. In this
case, also, pull out the normal charge con-nector while pressing the button. Pressingthe manual stop button on the control box
can also stop charging.
Refer to “EV charging cable” on page 3-07.10. Close the inner lid and press the rear of
the normal charging lid until it clicks to close it.WARNINGl After charging, be sure to close the inner
lid and the normal charging lid complete-
ly.
Be careful that water or dust does not en- ter in the normal charge port, inner lid
and normal charge connector.
Entry of water or dust could cause elec- tric current leakage, resulting in a fire or
electric shock.NOTEl Make sure that the inner lid is completely
closed.
If the normal charging lid is forcibly closed
without completely closing inner lid, the hinge on the inner lid may be broken.
l When the operation mode is switched to ON

er.
NOTEl When the quick charge connector is connec-
ted to the charge port, the charging indicator
is blinking. When charging is started, the charging indicator is illuminated.NOTEl If you want to confirm the drive battery level
during charging, open one of the doors or operate the multi information display switch, the drive battery level display (F) appears in
the multi information display.
Although the predicted charging time dis- play (G) blinks, the charging time for thequick charging is about 30 minutes and dis-
played “--:--” in the screen and you cannot confirm the remaining charging time.
l Operation noise may be heard from the vehi-
cle body during quick charging.
This noise comes from the operation of the drive battery cooling system, and it is not a malfunction.
l Since the drive battery cooling system uses
cool air of the air conditioning, the air condi-tioning is automatically operated.
After quick charging, if the area under the vehicle is wet, transparent and loose, it is de- humidified water from the air conditioning
and not a malfunction.
7. Charging is complete when the charging
indicator turns off.
