2018 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV heater

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)
