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.
l MITSUBISHI
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.
