lSince the air conditioning (cooling or
heating) consumes power of the drive battery, its operation results in a shorterEV cruising range. Maintain an appro-
priate temperature.
l Put the selector lever to “B” (BRAKE)
position according to the road condition. To charge the drive battery with appro-priate use of the regenerative brake, it
can be increased the EV cruising range.Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System (AVAS) E00205200042
The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System(AVAS) is a device that uses sound to alert
pedestrians of the presence of the vehicle. The system operates when the vehicle speed
is about 35 km/h (22 mph) or less and the en-
gine is not running.
Refer to “Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
(AVAS)” on page 7-29.
WARNINGl Even if the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys-
tem (AVAS) sounds, pay special attention
to pedestrians.
Pedestrians may not notice the oncoming vehicle, which may cause an accident re-
sulting in serious personal injury or death.Operating sound under
charging or Remote ClimateControl E00205700050
Even if the operation mode of the powerswitch is OFF, you may hear an operating
sound such as the cooling fan for cooling the drive battery during charging, the air condi-
tioning compressor and for remote climate control (if so equipped).
This is not a malfunction.
Refer to “MITSUBISHI Remote control: Re-
mote Climate Control” on page 3-24.
In case of a collision
E00205300030
A crash or impact significant enough to re-
quire an emergency response for convention- al vehicles would also require the same re-sponse for Outlander PHEV.
Also follow the instructions described below
to avoid severe burns and electrical shock
that may result in serious injury or death.WARNINGl If your vehicle is drivable, pull your vehi-
cle off the road to a safe, nearby location
and remain on the scene.
Also, if possible, do the following opera- tions and stay out of the way of any on- coming traffic while awaiting the arrival
of emergency responders.
• Apply chocks to the wheels.
• Put the select position in “P” (PARK)
position.
• Apply the parking brake.
• Open the windows, doors and tailgate.
• Put the operation mode in OFF.
• Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
• Move the key away from the vehicle to
prevent unintended start-up of the sys- tem by inadvertent contact with a switch or impact from the crash.
l Never touch high-voltage wiring, connec-
tors, and other high-voltage parts, such as
the inverter unit and drive battery. An electric shock may occur if exposed elec-
tric wires are visible when viewed from inside or outside of your vehicle. For their locations, see “High-voltage components”
on page 2-08.

Cautions and actions to deal with intense cold
2-12OGGE17E1General information2
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
E08304300072
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.
For details, please consult a MITSUBISHI

MITSUBISHI Remote
Control* E08304200127
The MITSUBISHI Remote Control allows to
operate the vehicle within the communication
range of the wireless LAN device (which conforms to IEEE 802.11b and supports iOS or Android). The following operations areavailable.NOTEl The communication distance differs depend-
ing on the wireless LAN device, due to this
the communication may go down.

lCharging timer
If you specify the charge start and/or stop time with the normal charge cable
connected, charging is started and/or
stopped at that time.
l Remote Climate Control
By setting the remote climate control to
operate at a predetermined time, cabin comfort can be improved or visibilitycan be ensured (defrosting/demisting)
before getting in the vehicle.
l Customize (function setting change)
The function setting of the keyless oper-
ation system, outside rear-view mirror,
operation mode of the power switch, air conditioning, lamps and windscreen
wipers can be changed by MITSUBISHI
Remote Control.NOTEl The electric heater is required to activate the
reservation functions of heater, defroster and
demister.
l In a vehicle equipped with the MITSUBISHI
Multi-Communication System (MMCS), it
is possible to change the setting by means of screen operations.
Refer to the separate owner’s manual for de-
tails.NOTEl If you want to cancel the charging timer in
cases of battery exhaustion or loss of a wire-
less LAN device, you can temporarily cancel the charging timer by pressing the switch
(A) of the keyless operation key twice with-
in 2 seconds. When the charging timer is cancelled, the hazard warning lamps will
blink 4 times.
l When using the charging timer, use the EV
charging cable. When using a home or pub- lic charging device (EVSE: Electric Vehi-
cles Supply Equipment), the charging timer
may not be started.
Devices that support wireless LAN are re-
quired to communicate with the vehicle using
the MITSUBISHI Remote Control. Also, an
SSID* (A) and password (B) are required to
connect a wireless LAN device to the vehi-
cle. The SSID and password are described in the registration information card (C) that is
attached to the key at the time of your pur- chase of the vehicle.
* The SSID is the identifier of an access point
for IEEE 802.11 series wireless LAN. It is
displayed on wireless LAN devices.
