2018 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV check engine

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.

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.

ment may operate automatically when
charging or when operating air condition- er. Do not bring your hand close to the
cooling fan during charging.CAUTIONl Do not use a car cover except for the
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE car
cover, when using the charging timer or the remote climate control.NOTEl Keep the following points in mind when us-
ing a wireless LAN device:
• Communication speed and range vary de-
pending on the wireless LAN devices and the surrounding conditions (radio environ-
ment, obstacles, parking area environ- ment, etc.).
• Due to the characteristics of radio waves,
communication speed tends to decrease as the communication distance increases.
Use your wireless LAN device at a short
distance from the vehicle for better re- sponse.
• When a microwave oven or ISM (indus-
trial, scientific and medical) equipment is being used, the communication speed andrange of wireless LAN devices may de-crease. Use your wireless LAN device
away from these appliances and equip-
ment.NOTE• If a wireless LAN device and Bluetooth
(registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG, Inc.) are used simultaneously, the com-
munication speed and range of each de- vice may decrease. Use your wireless
LAN device away from Bluetooth devi- ces.
l Wireless LAN devices may not communi-
cate with the vehicle, or may not operate
normally or stably in the following environ- ment or situations. Check that the device cancommunicate with your vehicle before use.
• There is an obstruction such as a concrete
or metal wall between the vehicle and
wireless LAN device.
• The vehicle is surrounded by tall vehicles
