2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV battery capacity

CAUTIONlThe 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.
• Refill the fuel more than 15 litres at once
within three months. If the fuel remaining display will be below half, you can refillthe fuel more than 15 litres certainly.Refer to “Fuel remaining warning dis-
play” on page 6-11.Drive battery
E00205000024WARNINGlA sealed lithium ion high voltage battery
(drive battery) is adopted for OutlanderPHEV . If the drive battery is disposed of
improperly, there is a risk of severe burns
and electrical shock that may result in se-
rious injury or death and there is also a
risk of environmental damage.
l Never attempt to use the drive battery for
any other purpose.l It is the battery to operate the motor and
the air conditioning.
In addition to the drive battery, Outland-
er PHEV has the auxiliary battery to op-
erate lamps, wipers, etc.
l Compact, light-weight lithium ion bat-
tery with high energy density is used forthe drive battery.
l The drive battery has the following char-
acteristics.
Please read this carefully paying atten- tion to the following:
Characteristics
l The same as ordinary lithium-ion batter-
ies, the battery capacity of the drive bat-
tery gradually reduces with time, result- ing in reduced cruising range. Depend-
ing on the usage conditions, such as fre- quent quick acceleration/deceleration, extremely hot weather, storing the vehi-
cle in high ambient temperatures, etc.,
the rate of battery capacity drop will in- crease.
l The performance may be changed due to
the outside temperature.
At low temperature, in particular, the EV
cruising range is short and the charging time is long, compared to operation at
normal temperature.
l The battery is gradually discharged with-
out use and the battery charge is low- ered.
l It is not necessary to consume the bat-
tery completely before charging.
Precautions for operation
l If your vehicle is not used for a long
time, check the drive battery level dis-
play every 3 months.
If the drive battery level display shows
0, charge the battery until some indica- tion appears. Alternately, put the opera-
tion mode of the power switch in “ON” to start the engine automatically, wait for
the engine to stop automatically, then
put the operation mode of the power switch in “OFF”.

WARNINGlTo reduce the risk of electric shock or fire
due to electric leak, always use an earthed
outlet protected by a residual current de-
tector, rated for amperage equal to or greater than the value specified by MITSUBISHI MOTORS , and that is con-
nected to a dedicated branch circuit. If
the circuit is shared, and another electri- cal device is being used at the same time
the vehicle is charging, the circuit may heat abnormally, the breaker may trip
and the circuit may cause adverse inter-
ference on the household electrical appli- ances such as TVs and audio systems.
l It is possible to charge even in rain or
snow. However, be sure to pay attention
to the following:
• Do not touch normal charging port,
normal charge connector, outlet and plug with wet hands.
• Keep away from water when connect-
ing the normal charging port, normal
charge connector, outlet and plug.
• Do not perform the charging in the out
of doors when heavy rain, heavy snow, strong winds, and when bad weather is
expected.
• Do not charge if there is possibility a
lightning strike. When thunder rum- bling begins suddenly during normal
charging, do not touch the vehicle and the EV charging cable and turn off the
breaker.WARNINGl If water goes into the normal charging
port or the normal charge connector, itcould cause a short circuit, a fire and an electric shock.
Be sure to completely close the charging lid and the inner lid and do not leave the
EV charging cable in an outdoors.
l If the connected part of the charging plug
has been buried in snow while charging,
turn off the hand switch or the breaker
connected with the outlet first, then re- move the snow and disconnect the charg-
ing plug. If your vehicle body has been buried in snow while charging, remove
the snow and then disconnect the charge connector.
l When you perform the normal charging
at away from home, some normal charg-ers may not correspond to your vehicle.
Consult an administrator or a maker of
the normal charger that it corresponds to your vehicle before using it. Also perform
normal charging according to the operat-
ing procedure indicated on the body of normal charger.
l Do not open the charging lid for anything
other than charging and using the exter-
nal power feed.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to perform a jump start on
the auxiliary battery at the same time that the
drive battery is being charged. Doing so may
damage the vehicle or charging cable and
could cause injury.
Refer to “Emergency starting” on page 9-02.NOTEl If you open the charging lid with the opera-
tion mode of the power switch is ON, a buz- zer sounds approximately 10 minutes inter-mittently to alert the charging cannot be star- ted. If you close the charging lid or put theoperation mode in OFF, the buzzer stops.
l If you insert the charge connector to the
charge port with the operation mode is ON,
a buzzer sounds continuously approximately
10 minutes to alert the charging cannot be started.
If you pull the charge connector out or put the operation mode in OFF, the buzzer stops.
l Repeatedly performing only quick charging
may reduce the battery capacity.
In usual charge, normal charging is recom-
mended.
l To maintain the capacity of the drive battery,
the following is recommended:
• If you repeatedly perform only quick
charging, fully charge the vehicle in nor-
mal charging mode every two weeks.

l Since the engine will also start if the vehi-
cle stops with the battery charge switch pressed, do not use it around the garage
or the vehicle in situations when there’s snow etc. while stopping and parking.
Doing so, the exhaust gas enters into the vehicle and there is a possibility of being
poisoned by carbon monoxide.
Be sure to use at the well-ventilated place.
l Do not use the battery charge switch near
flammable objects such as dried grass or
a paper etc.
This might cause a fire because the ex- haust pipe has a high temperature.CAUTIONl If something is left too close to the front of
the vehicle, do not operate the battery charg- er switch.NOTEl Use the battery charge switch before the up-
hill climb.
l Even if the battery charge switch is pressed,
the battery charge mode may not be activa- ted depending on the remaining drive battery
capacity or the remaining fuel quantity and the control.NOTEl It is recommended to use the battery charg-
ing switch at least 20 minutes before you
climb towards the speed of more than
100 km/h (62 mph) or when a long slope
(gradient of more than 4 %) is expected.
(According to a towing weight, it may not be able to continue the speed.)
l When using the battery charge switch with a
vehicle that has been parked in the heath a
long time, it may not charge.
l The charging time close to the full charging
of the drive battery becomes longer depend- ing on the condition of the drive battery, a
driving condition or an environment.
l The engine may stop near full charge.
l If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity while using gaso-
line, the fuel consumption will suffer. We recommend you to consider the environ- ment.
l When the engine is started while parking,
there is a risk of receiving a penalty due to
