Regenerative braking
Motion energy is converted into electric ener-
gy using the motor as a power generator.
Then a braking force generates and converted electric energy will be charged to the drive
battery.
l If you lift your foot off the accelerator
pedal during driving, a braking force that
is equivalent to engine braking of a com- bustion engine vehicle will be generated.
Also, if you shift the select position into “B” (BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), ef-
fectiveness of the regenerative braking is getting stronger. Shift the selector lever into “B” (BRAKE) position according to
the driving condition.
l When you depress the brake pedal, the
regenerative braking force may be in-creased.
l If a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid
EV system, or if the ABS and/or the
ASC have been activated, the regenera- tive braking will be restricted. The foot brake will still operate.Operation of gasoline engine

l Even when the vehicle is driving in EV
drive mode, it may be automatically
changed to series hybrid mode or paral-
lel hybrid mode in the following cases: • The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• Quick acceleration is applied.
• The air conditioner is operating.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed
hard on an uphill road or expressway.
• In cold weather.
• The vehicle has not been refueled for
a long time.
• The drive battery level is low.
In addition to the above, there are more
cases where EV drive mode is automati-
cally changed to series or parallel hybrid mode.
l Even while the vehicle is stopped, the
engine may automatically be started in the following cases: • The drive battery level is low.
• The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• The air conditioner is used.
• The vehicle has not been used for a
long time.
• The engine has not been operated for a long time.
• The vehicle has not been refueled for
a long time.Refueling (gasoline)

CAUTIONl If the warning display appears, refuel imme-
diately.
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the engine will not start even in a situation need to be
generated electricity, the following condi- tions will occur.
• The driving performance falls (since only
the electrical power stored in the drive battery can be used for the driving).
• The heating performance is not available
(except vehicles with electric heater).
• The effectiveness of the heater is insuffi-
cient (vehicles with electric heater).
• The catalytic converter may be damaged
due to excessive high temperature.

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”.

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.

Refueling
1. Before filling with fuel, stop the plug-in
hybrid EV system.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear
left side of your vehicle.
Open the fuel tank filler door by pulling the release lever located on the side of the driver’s seat.
3. Open the fuel tank filler tube by slowly
turning the cap anticlockwise.
1- Remove
2- Close
CAUTIONl Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
remove the fuel tank filler tube cap slowly. This relieves any pressure or vacuum that
might have built up in the fuel tank. If you
hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops be- fore removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may
spray out, injuring you or others.
