NOTElPoor quality petrol can cause problems such
as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise
and hesitation. If you 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 possible at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
E10 type petrol
The petrol engine are compatible with E10
type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) con- forming to European standards EN 228.
CAUTIONl Do not use more than 10 % concentration of
ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use of more than 10 % concentration may
lead to damage to your vehicle fuel system,
engine, engine sensors and exhaust system.Filling the fuel tank
E00200204393WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.WARNINGl 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
well-ventilated 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.
l Do 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.WARNINGl 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 mode switch” on
page 7-28.
• 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 and charge port courtesy lamp will blink. When charging is started, the charging indicator illuminates and the charging portcourtesy lamp blinks 3 times.
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 on the information screen 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 if the charging in-
dicator goes off. Pull out the normal charge connector while pressing the re-
lease button (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 connec-tor while pressing the release button. Press- ing the 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 charging lid until it clicks to close it.
WARNINGl After charging, be sure to close the inner
lid and charging lid completely.
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 an
electric leak, resulting in a fire or electric shock.NOTEl Make sure that the inner lid is completely
closed.
If the charging lid is forcibly closed without completely closing inner lid, the hinge on
the inner lid may be broken.
l While the charging lid is open, if the doors
and tailgate are locked with the central door
lock, the keyless entry system or the keyless operation system, the charging lid will lock
when the charging lid is closed.
l When the operation mode is switched to ON
while the charging lid is not completely
closed, a warning may be displayed on the information screen in the multi information
display.
Refer to “Warning display list” on page 6-25.
l If the charging lid is closed while the driv-
er’s door is locked, the charging lid will be locked.
11. Remove the charging cable plug from
the outlet.

If the charging indicator is not illumina-
ted, charging is not started.
Follow the manual of each quick charg-
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.
l 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 on the information screen in the multi informa-tion display.
Although the predicted charging time dis- play (G) appears, the charging time for the
quick 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.
Disconnect the quick charge connector according to the manual of the quick
charger.CAUTIONl As the quick charge connector is heavier in
comparison to the normal charge connector,
allowing it to drop could cause damage to the vehicle or charge connector or personal injury. When removing the connector, be
sure to pull it out straight and as carefully as possible.
l Do not leave the quick charge connector
connected to the quick charge port after
charging.
Doing so, someone might stumble and it could cause an injury or the quick chargeport might be damaged by playing it.NOTEl Although it is possible to start the electric
motor unit if quick charging has not finishednormally, the charging indicator is continu-
ously blinking. In such a situation, perform quick charging again and finish it normally
or contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
8. Close the inner lid and press the rear of
the charging lid until it clicks to close it.
WARNINGl After charging, be sure to close the inner
lid and the quick charging lid completely.
Be careful that water or dust does not en-
ter in the quick charge port, inner lid and
quick charge connector.
Entry of water or dust could cause fire, electric shock or short circuit.
l After charging, be sure to disconnect the
charge connector from the charge port.If the charge connector is only partially
engaged and the connector latch is un-
locked, you could put the operation mode of the power switch in “ON” and the vehi-
cle could start moving. It could lead to an unexpected accident.NOTEl If the operation mode of the power switch is
put in ON with the quick charge connector
connected to the quick charge port, the plu-
gin hybrid EV system cannot be started.
Be sure to disconnect the quick charge con- nector before start.
l Charging may be completed before full
charge. This is a control for efficient charge
and not a malfunction.
To achieve full charge, repeat charging from
Step 5 again.
