EV cruising rangeE00205100025
l Even 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.
l Since the air conditioning (cooling or
heating) consumes power of the drive
battery, its operation results in a shorter EV 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 7-23.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.Operation sound setting

E00205300030
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.

WARNINGAlso, 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 3-12.
l If the vehicle receives a strong impact to
the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in
a safe place and check the floor.WARNINGl Never start the plug-in hybrid EV system
if you found a leak of a liquid (except wa-
ter of the air conditioner) while checking the outside of the vehicle because there is
possibility the fuel system has been dam- aged and causing of fire or exploding.
In such case, immediately contact your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
l Leaks or damage to the drive battery may
result in a fire. If you discover them, con-
tact emergency services immediately.
Since the fluid leak may be lithium man- ganite from the Lithium-ion battery, nev- er touch any fluid leaking from the inside
or outside of the vehicle. If the fluid con- tacts your skin or eyes, wash it off imme-
diately with a large amount of water and receive immediate medical attention to
help avoid serious injury.
l If you are unable to safely assess the vehi-
cle due to vehicle damage, do not touch the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact
emergency services. Advise emergency responders that this is a Plug-in Hybrid
vehicle.WARNINGl If a fire occurs in this vehicle, leave the
vehicle as soon as possible and contact
emergency services. Do not attempt to ex- tinguish a fire by yourself. If the fire in-
volves a lithium-ion battery, it will re- quire large, sustained volumes of water for extinguishment. Using a small amount
of water or the incorrect fire extinguisher
can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
l When you leave the vehicle, if possible,
open the windows, doors and tailgate to
prevent accumulation of poisonous/ combustible gasses. This will also assist in
the rescue and fire fighting process.
l As with any vehicle fire, the byproducts of
combustion can be toxic. Do not inhale
smoke, vapors, or gas from the vehicle. Move to a safe distance upwind and uphill
from the vehicle fire and out of the way of any oncoming traffic while awaiting the
arrival of emergency responders.
l If you detect leaking fluids, sparks,
smoke, flames, gurgling, popping or hiss-
ing noises originating from the high volt- age battery compartment, contact emer-
gency services immediately. This may re- sult in a fire.
l Physical damage to the vehicle or high
voltage battery may result in immediate or delayed release of toxic and/or flamma- ble gases and fire.

WARNINGlTo reduce the risk of electric shock or fire
due to electric leak, always use an earthed
outlet protected by a residual current de-
tector, rated for amperage equal to or greater than the value specified by MITSUBISHI MOTORS , and that is con-
nected to a dedicated branch circuit. If
the circuit is shared, and another electri- cal device is being used at the same time
the vehicle is charging, the circuit may heat abnormally, the breaker may trip
and the circuit may cause adverse inter-
ference on the household electrical appli- ances such as TVs and audio systems.
l It is possible to charge even in rain or
snow. However, be sure to pay attention
to the following:
• Do not touch normal charging port,
normal charge connector, outlet and plug with wet hands.
• Keep away from water when connect-
ing the normal charging port, normal
charge connector, outlet and plug.
• Do not perform the charging in the out
of doors when heavy rain, heavy snow, strong winds, and when bad weather is
expected.
• Do not charge if there is possibility a
lightning strike. When thunder rum- bling begins suddenly during normal
charging, do not touch the vehicle and the EV charging cable and turn off the
breaker.WARNINGl If water goes into the normal charging
port or the normal charge connector, itcould cause a short circuit, a fire and an electric shock.
Be sure to completely close the charging lid and the inner lid and do not leave the
EV charging cable in an outdoors.
l If the connected part of the charging plug
has been buried in snow while charging,
turn off the hand switch or the breaker
connected with the outlet first, then re- move the snow and disconnect the charg-
ing plug. If your vehicle body has been buried in snow while charging, remove
the snow and then disconnect the charge connector.
l When you perform the normal charging
at away from home, some normal charg-ers may not correspond to your vehicle.
Consult an administrator or a maker of
the normal charger that it corresponds to your vehicle before using it. Also perform
normal charging according to the operat-
ing procedure indicated on the body of normal charger.
l Do not open the charging lid for anything
other than charging and using the exter-
nal power feed.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to perform a jump start on
the auxiliary battery at the same time that the
drive battery is being charged. Doing so may
damage the vehicle or charging cable and
could cause injury.
Refer to “Emergency starting” on page 9-02.NOTEl If you open the charging lid with the opera-
tion mode of the power switch is ON, a buz- zer sounds approximately 10 minutes inter-mittently to alert the charging cannot be star- ted. If you close the charging lid or put theoperation mode in OFF, the buzzer stops.
l If you insert the charge connector to the
charge port with the operation mode is ON,
a buzzer sounds continuously approximately
10 minutes to alert the charging cannot be started.
If you pull the charge connector out or put the operation mode in OFF, the buzzer stops.
l Repeatedly performing only quick charging
may reduce the battery capacity.
In usual charge, normal charging is recom-
mended.

part of your body or an object at this time.
Electric tailgate*
4-24OGGE16E1Locking and unlocking4

CAUTIONlThe safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the electric tailgate is fully closed to al- low it to close completely. Therefore be es-
pecially careful not to trap a hand or finger
at this time.
l The safety mechanism is deactivated when
the electric tailgate is closed manually. Therefore be especially careful not to trap ahand or finger at this time.
l If the safety mechanism is repeatedly operat-
ed, the tailgate could be switched to manual operation. Be careful at this time, as the
electric tailgate could open or close sudden-
ly, depending on its position.
Once the electric tailgate is completely open or closed, normal automatic operation is
again possible.NOTEl If the environment or usage conditions sub-
ject the sensors to the same kind of force as
that of trapping a person or object, the safety mechanism could be activated.
l Do not damage the sensors when loading or
unloading luggage, or when cleaning therear window. Doing so could prevent the tailgate from closing automatically.Drop prevention mechanism
After the electric tailgate is opened automati-
cally, if it is detected that the tailgate is drop- ping due to factors such as accumulated
snow, the electric tailgate is closed automati- cally.
A warning buzzer sounds continuously while
the drop prevention mechanism operates.
NOTEl If snow has accumulated on the electric tail-
gate, remove it before operation.
l Do not install accessories other than
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE parts
on the electric tailgate. Some accessories could be too heavy, causing the drop preven-
tion mechanism to operate.
l The drop prevention mechanism could be
activated if manual operation is attempted immediately after the electric tailgate is
completely opened automatically.Sudden operation prevention
mechanism
If the engine is started while the electric tail-
gate is operating automatically, it may switch to manual operation due to insufficient bat-
tery voltage, making the electric tailgate stop intermittently while it moves. This is to stop
the electric tailgate from operating suddenly. When the tailgate is completely closed or
opened, automatic operation is again possible after approximately 10 seconds.
CAUTIONl The safety mechanism is deactivated while
the sudden operation prevention mechanism
is operating. Therefore be especially careful
not to trap a hand or finger at this time.Manual operation
