2017 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV first page

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 charge port, nor-
mal charge connector, outlet and plug with wet hands.
• Keep away from water when connect-
ing the normal charge 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 andthe EV charging cable and turn off the
breaker.WARNINGl If water goes into the normal charge port
or the normal charge connector, it couldcause 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 9-07.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 the quick
charging, fully charge the vehicle in nor- mal charging every 2 weeks.

Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that
you and your passengers have fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats
WARNINGl Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suita-
ble for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping out of position, securely retain them usingthe hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal
or laying one floor mat on top of another can obstruct pedal operation and lead to a
serious accident.Carrying children in the vehi-
cle
l Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key and children inside the ve-hicle. Children may play with the driv-
ing controls and this could lead to an ac- cident.
l Make sure that infants and small chil-
dren are properly restrained in accord-
ance with the laws and regulations, and
for maximum protection in case of an accident.
l Prevent children from playing in the lug-
gage compartment. It is quite dangerous
to allow them to play there while the ve- hicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to load above the height of seats. This is dangerous
not only because rearward vision will be ob- structed, but also the luggage may be projec-ted into the passenger compartment underhard braking.
Parking brake

4-wheel drive operation
E00606602083
Your vehicle has been designed primarily foruse on paved roads.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar lo-
cations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow- covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions.
It is particularly important to note that 4-
wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability with the regenerative brake on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driv- ing on steep slopes.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud and when driving through
water because sufficient traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through
areas where the tyres may get stuck in deep sand or mud.WARNINGl Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive ve-
hicles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have
limits to the system and ability to main- tain control and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Always drive care-
fully, taking account of the road condi-
tions.
l Improperly operating this vehicle on or
off-paved roads can cause an accident or
rollover in which you and your passengers
could be seriously injured or killed.
• Follow all instructions and guidelines in
the owner’s manual.
• Keep your speed low and do not drive
faster than conditions allow you to.

CAUTIONlEffectiveness of the regenerative brake be-
comes weak when the drive battery is close
to full charge and loses its effect at the full
charge.
In this case, since the foot brake is effective,
use the foot brake and slow down your vehi-
cle speed beforehand.
The energy usage indicator stops swaying in the charge zone closer to full charge.
Refer to “Energy usage indicator” on page 6-02
In such case, drive at low speed in advance.
And if needed use the foot brake to slow
down the vehicle speed before the vehicle speed increases.
The regenerative brake comes to be effective if the drive battery remaining power is con-
sumed.
Brake pad
l Avoid hard braking situations.
New brakes need to be broken-in by
moderate use for the first 200 km
(124 miles).
l The disc brakes are provided with a
warning device which emits a shrieking
metallic sound while braking if the brake pads have reached their wear limit. Ifyou hear this sound, have the brake padsreplaced immediately.
WARNINGl Driving with worn brake pads will make
it harder to stop, and can cause an acci-
dent.Brake auto hold
E00652000051
When the vehicle is stopped at traffic signalsetc., the vehicle can be held stationary with
the brake auto hold system even if you re-
lease your foot from the brake pedal. When the accelerator pedal is depressed, the brakes are released.
WARNINGl Do not overly rely on the brake auto hold
system. On a steep slope, depress the brake pedal firmly because the systemmay not hold the vehicle stationary.
l Never leave the vehicle while it is being
stopped by the brake auto hold system.
When leaving the vehicle, apply the park- ing brake and put the select position to
the “P” (PARK) position.
l Do not use the brake auto hold system
when driving on slippery roads. The sys- tem may not hold the vehicle stationary
and an accident could occur.NOTEl While operating the brake auto hold system,
you may hear an operation noise to increasebraking force when the system detected the
movement of the vehicle. This does not indi- cate a malfunction.
How to use brake auto hold
To turn on brake auto hold
If the brake auto hold switch is pressed while
all of the following conditions are met, the system will change to the standby state and
the indication lamp (A) on the switch comes on.
l The operation mode of the power switch
is in the “ON” position.
l The driver’s seat belt is fastened.
l The driver’s door is closed.

Operating hints
lBe sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration. It is also recommended that you obey the local regulations in case driving speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro-ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a
blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.
CAUTIONl If the engine overheats, reference should be
made to “Engine overheating” section of
“For emergencies” prior to taking any cor- rective action.Parking
It is not recommended to park on a steep
slope while towing trailer.
If parking on a steep slope cannot be avoided,
the road grade should be less than 12% and
the following procedure performed. 1. Apply the parking brake firmly on the
vehicle and the trailer (if fitted).
2. Put the select position in “P”.
3. Place chocks or blocks at the tyres on
both vehicle and trailer.
4. Turn the front wheels into the shoulder
of the road to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Driving on long up hills while towing trailer
When the remaining quantity of the drive bat-tery is low, or high-speed driving on long up
hills at high temperature, the drive battery
output is restricted and the vehicle speed may be decreased.
The vehicle speed may be recovered if the
drive battery quantity is recovered.
NOTEl In charge mode, if the remaining quantity of
the drive battery can be increased in ad-
vance, it can prevent the vehicle speed from
decreasing on long up hills.
Refer to “Battery charge mode switch” on page 7-28.
