Plug-in Hybrid EV SystemE00203500041Main features
E00203600202
It is operated as an electric vehicle in the EVdrive mode using the electrical power stored
in the drive battery, *1
according to the re-
maining amount of the drive battery. It is also
automatic control *2
for driving in series hy-
brid mode or parallel hybrid mode using en-
gine power from EV drive mode according to the driving condition or if the charging level
of the drive battery is decreased.
l With the high performance motor, noise
and vibration during driving is mini-
mized and powerful acceleration can al-
so be obtained.
l With the regenerative brake, the drive
battery is automatically charged when
the accelerator is released.
*1 If there is a remaining amount in the drive
battery, it is actively driven in the EV
drive mode. The cruising range varies de-
pending on the remaining charge in the drive battery, vehicle speed, and air condi-
tioner operating conditions.
*2 You can adjust the timing to switch to the
EV drive mode by using the battery save
mode switch. Refer to “Battery save mode switch” on page 7-27.l The vehicle can be charged from EV
charge power outlets (rated AC 220-240 V).
l Quick charging using CHAdeMO quick
charger is possible. CHAdeMO is a
standard for quick charging of electric vehicles originally started in Japan, and the contents have also become interna- tional standard.
EV drive mode
l The vehicle is driven by the motors us-
ing only electrical power stored in the
drive battery. However, EV drive mode is cancelled depending on the drive bat-
tery level, vehicle speed, and air condi- tioner operating conditions. Pay atten-
tion to the following points: • Check the EV cruising range in the in-
formation screen. Refer to “EV cruis- ing range display/Total cruising range
display” on page 6-13.
• Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds
avoiding quick acceleration/decelera- tion. Repeated quick acceleration/deceleration causes the drive battery
level to decrease quickly, which ex- tremely reduces the EV cruising
range.
l If you want to drive the vehicle without
starting the engine as much as possible, make the switch to the EV priority mode
by pressing the EV switch.
Refer to “EV switch” on page 7-25.
Series hybrid mode
l The vehicle is driven by the motors us-
ing only the electricity generated by the engine. This mode is used when the drive battery level is low, at quick accel-
eration, or when power is required like
climbing uphill.
NOTEl While driving the Series hybrid mode, the
engine malfunction diagnostic system may operate.
If this system operates, the engine sound will
decrease. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
Parallel hybrid mode
l The vehicle is driven by the power of the
engine, assisted by motors. This mode is used during high-speed driving with bet-ter engine efficiency.
Plug-in Hybrid EV System
2-02OGGE18E1General information2
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
E00205300085
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.
l If the vehicle receives a strong impact to
the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in
a safe place and check the floor.
