2017 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV service indicator

lIt is the battery to operate the motor and
the air conditioning.
In addition to the drive battery, OUT-
LANDER PHEV has the auxiliary bat-
tery to operate lamps, wipers, etc.
l Compact, light-weight lithium ion bat-
tery with high energy density is used for the 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. As the
drive battery capacity decreases, the ini- tial EV cruising range and the vehicle
performance will similarly decrease.
Depending on the usage conditions, such as frequent quick acceleration/decelera- tion, extremely hot weather, storing the
vehicle in high ambient temperatures, etc., the rate of battery capacity drop will
increase.
l The performance may be changed due to
the ambient temperature.
At low ambient temperature, in particu- lar, the EV cruising range is short and
the charging time is long, compared to operation at normal temperature. Also,charging may be stopped before com-
plete charging.
l When the ambient temperature lowers,
the engine will start frequently, even if there remains much power in the drive
battery.
l Because the engine starts frequently, the
fuel consumption will increase.
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. Alternatively, start the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System and turn on the ready indicator.
The engine will then automatically start to charge the drive battery.
Wait until the engine automatically
stops, then put the operation mode of the
power switch in OFF.

Motors collects drive bat-
teries. If you scrap your vehicle, please
consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
EV cruising range
E00205100025
lEven if the charge level is the same, the
EV cruising range may vary depending on driving conditions. Since driving at
high speed or climbing on a hill requires higher consumption of the drive batterythan usual, the EV cruising range is shortened.

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.

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.
