Plug-in Hybrid EV SystemE00203500041Main features
E00203600101
It is operated as an electric vehicle in the EVdrive mode using the electrical power stored
in the drive battery, *1
according to the re-
maining amount of the drive battery. It is also
automatic control *2
for driving in series hy-
brid mode or parallel hybrid mode using en-
gine power from EV drive mode according to the driving condition or if the charging level
of the drive battery is decreased.
l With the high performance motor, noise
and vibration during driving is mini-
mized and powerful acceleration can al-
so be obtained.
l With the regenerative brake, the drive
battery is automatically charged when
the accelerator is released.
*1 If there is a remaining amount in the drive
battery, it is actively driven in the EV
drive mode. The cruising range varies de-
pending on the remaining charge in the drive battery, vehicle speed, and air condi-
tioner operating conditions.
*2 You can adjust the timing to switch to the
EV drive mode by using the battery save
switch. Refer to “Battery save switch” on page 7-21.l The vehicle can be charged from EV
charge power outlets (rated AC 220-240 V).
l Quick charging using CHAdeMO quick
charger (if so equipped) is available.
CHAdeMO is a quick charging standard
for electric vehicles that is promoted by
Japan for adoption as an international
standard.
EV drive mode
l The vehicle is driven by the motors us-
ing only electrical power stored in the drive battery. However, EV drive mode
is cancelled depending on the drive bat- tery level, vehicle speed, and air condi-
tioner operating conditions. Pay atten- tion to the following points: • Check the EV cruising range in the in-
formation screen. Refer to “EV cruis-
ing range display/Total cruising range display” on page 6-14.
• Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds
avoiding quick acceleration/decelera- tion. Repeated quick acceleration/deceleration causes the drive battery
level to decrease quickly, which ex- tremely reduces the EV cruising
range.
Series hybrid mode
l The vehicle is driven by the motors us-
ing only the electricity generated by the
engine. This mode is used when the drive battery level is low, at quick accel-
eration, or when power is required like climbing uphill.
Parallel hybrid mode
l The vehicle is driven by the power of the
engine, assisted by motors. This mode is used during high-speed driving with bet-ter engine efficiency.

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”.

batteries. If you scrap your vehicle, please consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

WARNINGl The Plug-in Hybrid EV System uses high
voltage up to DC 300 volt. The system can
be hot during and after starting and when the vehicle is shut off. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high tempera-
ture. Follow the warning labels that are
attached to the vehicle.
l Always assume the high voltage battery
and associated components are energized
and fully charged.
l Never perform servicing when READY
indicator is illuminating or when the charging indicator is illuminating orflashing because the high-voltage system
is operating.
Inspection and maintenance
2-08OGGE16E1General information2

For persons with electro-medical apparatus such as implantable cardiac pacemaker or im-plantable cardioverter-defibrillator E00205600033WARNINGlBefore normal charging:
• Before you perform charging work, ask the manufacturer of your electro-medical apparatus about the effect from charging work. Charging may
affect the operation of your electro-medical apparatus.
Refer to “Normal charging (charging method with rated AC 220-240 V outlet)” on page 3-10.
Refer to “Quick charging (charging method with quick charger)” on page 3-16.
l When the normal charging
• Observe the following precautions for normal charging.
• During charging, do not close the implantation portion of electro-medical apparatus such as implantable cardiac pacemaker or implantable
cardioverter defibrillator to the charge connector, EV charging cable, control box and normal charging station.
• Do not stay inside the vehicle.
• Do not get in the vehicle (including the luggage comapartment) to take out something or for other purposes.
Refer to “Normal charging (charging method with rated AC 220-240 V outlet)” on page 3-10.
l Do not perform quick charging and to keep away from a quick charger
• Please observe the following precautions.
There is a possibility that electromagnetic waves affect the operation of the electro-medical apparatus.
• Please do not use a quick charger.
• Keep away as much as possible from the place where the quick charger is stored.
If you approach it carelessly, leave quickly without standing still.
• Please ask someone to perform the quick charging if necessary.
Refer to “Quick charging (charging method with quick charger)” on page 3-16.
l Do not bring your body close to the foot area of the rear seat and do not stay in the luggage compartment while the vehicle is running. Also, do not
allow persons using an electro-medical apparatus to stay in the luggage compartment while the vehicle is running. The operation of electro-medical apparatus may be affected.
l When using the keyless operation system, please observe following precautions.
• People with implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators should not go near the exterior transmitters (A) or the
interior transmitters. The radio waves used by the keyless operation system could adversely affect implantable cardiac pacemakers or implanta-
ble cardiovascular-defibrillators.
• When using electro-medical devices other than implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators, contact the electro-
medical device manufacturer ahead of time to determine the affects of radio waves on the devices. Electromedical device operations could be
adverse effect by radio waves. Refer to “Keyless operation system” on page 4-06.
