E00200204393WARNINGlWhen handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
l 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.WARNINGl Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body’s static electricity bytouching 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 staticelectricity, 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 a fresh charge of static electricity.
l Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel
contains toxic substances.
l 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 timeCAUTIONdepending 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 6-09.

If the charging indicator is not illumina-
ted, charging has not started.
Make sure that the normal charge port
and the plug are correctly connected, and
perform charging from Step 5 again.
NOTEl When the normal charge connector is con-
nected to the charge port, the charging indi-
cator will blink. When charging is started, the charging indicator illuminates and thecharging port courtesy 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.
Normal charging (charging method with rated AC 220-240V outlet)

WARNINGlAfter 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 6-23.
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.
12. Install the cap on the normal charge con-
nector.WARNINGl 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 vehicle could start moving. It could lead to an un- expected accident.NOTEl Make sure that the charging lid is complete-
ly closed before using an automatic car
wash. There is a possibility that the charging lid will be damaged if the lid is open.If the charging lid cannot be
unlocked
E08304400031
When the charging lid cannot be unlocked even if the driver’s door is unlocked, take the
following measure to open the charging lid. 1. Press the tab (A) of the lid located on the
right side of the luggage compartment to remove the lid.
2. Pull the rod (B) in the arrow direction to
unlock the charging lid.
NOTEl After taking the emergency measure, please
inspect at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point immediately.

6.Make sure that the charging indicator
(E) on the instrument cluster is illumina-
ted.
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 approximately 30 minutes and displayed “--:--” 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, besure 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 charging connection 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.
