Parallel Hy- brid ModeDrives the vehicle
Drives frontwheels and generates
electricity
Regenerative braking
Motion energy is converted into electric ener-
gy using the motor as a power generator.
Then a braking force generates and converted electric energy will be charged to the drive
battery.
l If you lift your foot off the accelerator
pedal during driving, a braking force that
is equivalent to engine braking of a com- bustion engine vehicle will be generated.
Also, if you shift the select position into “B” (BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), ef-
fectiveness of the regenerative braking is getting stronger. Shift the selector lever into “B” (BRAKE) position according to
the driving condition.
l When you depress the brake pedal, the
regenerative braking force may be in-creased.
l If a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid
EV system, or if the ABS and/or the
ASC have been activated, the regenera- tive braking will be restricted. The foot brake will still operate.
l When stronger regenerative braking is
generated, the stop lamps will illuminate even when the brake pedal is not de- pressed.Operation of gasoline engine

l Even when the vehicle is driving in EV
drive mode, it may be automatically
changed to series hybrid mode or paral-
lel hybrid mode in the following cases: • The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• Quick acceleration is applied.
• The air conditioner is operating.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed
hard on an uphill road or expressway.
• In cold weather.
• The vehicle has not been refueled for
a long time.
• The drive battery level is low.
In addition to the above, there are more
cases where EV drive mode is automati-
cally changed to series or parallel hybrid mode.
l Even while the vehicle is stopped, the
engine may automatically be started in the following cases: • The drive battery level is low.
• The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• The air conditioner is used.
• The vehicle has not been used for a
long time.
• The engine has not been operated for a long time.
• Refuelling has not been performed for
a long time.
Plug-in Hybrid EV System
2-03OGGE18E1General information2

NOTElDepending on the usage of the vehicle, the
engine may not start for a long period of
time and unused fuel will remain in the fuel tank. Fuel can deteriorate over time, which
can adversely affect the engine and/or the
fuel system.
If the vehicle is not refueled with more than
15 litres at least once every 3 months, the engine will automatically start, while the ready indicator is illuminated, to help pre-vent deterioration of the fuel. At that time,
charging of the drive battery will start and the battery charge mode display will appear
on the information screen in the multi infor-
mation display. The charging will stop, how-
ever, before the drive battery is fully charg- ed.
The engine may also start even while the EV drive mode is selected or the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
To stop the engine from starting automati-
cally when the vehicle is operated on the drive battery power only for a long time,start the engine and drive the vehicle enough
to reduce the fuel level to approximately half
tank. Refill the fuel tank with at least 15 li- tres of unleaded petrol.Refueling (gasoline)
E00203800060
CAUTIONl If the warning display appears, refuel imme-
diately.
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the engine will not start even in a situation need to be
generated electricity, the following condi- tions will occur.
• The driving performance falls (since only
the electrical power stored in the drive battery can be used for the driving).
• The heating performance is not available
(except vehicles with electric heater).
• The effectiveness of the heater is insuffi-
cient (vehicles with electric heater).
• The catalytic converter may be damaged
due to excessive high temperature.
Refer to “Filling the fuel tank” on page
2-14.
Refer to “Fuel remaining display screen” on page 6-09.CAUTIONl The fuel in the fuel tank may not be con-
sumed and it may stagnate for a long time
depending 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 mode switch to
start the engine within 3 months at once.
Refer to “Battery charge mode switch” on page 7-28.
• Refill the fuel more than 15 litres at once
within 3 months. If the fuel remaining dis-
play will be below half, you can refill the
fuel more than 15 litres certainly.
Refer to “Fuel remaining display screen” on page 6-09.Drive battery
E00205000066WARNINGlA sealed lithium ion high voltage battery
(drive battery) is adopted for OUTLAND-
ER PHEV . If the drive battery is disposed
of improperly, there is a risk of severe burns and electrical shock that may resultin serious injury or death and there is also
a risk of environmental damage.
l Never attempt to use the drive battery for
any other purpose.
Drive battery
2-04OGGE18E1General information2

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.

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.

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.
