NOTE•Do not repeat charging near the full
charge level.
l The quick charging gives priority when the
normal charging and the quick charging are performed at the same time. At this time, thenormal charging will be stopped.
l Even if the operation mode of the power
switch is OFF, you may hear the operating sound of the cooling fan for cooling the
drive battery during charging.
This is not a malfunction.
l If your vehicle is not used for a long time,
check the energy level gauge every 3 months. If the gauge shows 0, charge thedrive battery until some indication appears.
Alternatively, start the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System. Then the engine will automatically start to charge the drive battery. Wait until the engine automatically stops, then put theoperation mode of the power switch in OFF.
l In the event of an electrical power outage
while charging, charging restarts automati-
cally with the restoration of electricity.Charge port courtesy lamp

The charge port courtesy lamp (A) illumi-
nates when the charging lid is opened while
the select position is in the “P” (PARK) posi- tion. It goes off automatically after a few sec- onds. If you want to turn it on again, press
the charge port courtesy lamp switch (B).
When charging is started, the charge port
courtesy lamp blinks 3 times and then goes off automatically.NOTEl The charge port courtesy lamp illuminating
time can be adjusted.

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.

WARNINGlWhen the quick charge connector is con-
nected to the quick charge port, prevent foreign matter such as water or dust fromentering in the port.
Connection with foreign matter such as
water or dust may cause fire or an electric shock. Do not perform charging if there
might be strong exposure to water at the
connection.
l During charging, the cooling fans inside
the bonnet room may automatically be operated even if the operation mode of the
power switch is in OFF.
Keep your hands away from the cooling
fan during charging.NOTEl During quick charging, quick charging is
stopped by putting the operation mode of thepower switch in ON.
l If the charge connector is not easily connec-
ted to the charge port due to foreign material
entering, never force the connection. Doing so could damage the charging equipment or the vehicle. Contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l The quick charger might be installed in the
public parking space, some chargers are not
suitable for this vehicle. Check the manual
of each quick charger when charging.NOTEl The charge connector and the EV charging
cable stick out of the vehicle body while charging, so be careful that your body does
not get stuck with them or they do not touch the next vehicle.
l The vehicle equipped with a quick charge
port is compatible with most CHAdeMO *1
connectors on charging stations.
l Make sure to lock the doors to prevent theft,
etc. during charging.
l When using a quick charger, make sure that
the time available is enough so that the quick
charging can be finished in the time availa- ble.
If the power supply of the quick charger is shut off during quick charging, it could leadto a vehicle failure.
1. Firmly apply the parking brake, press the
electrical parking switch to shift into the
