:ARN,NGzLeaks 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.
z 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.
z 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 require large, sustained volumes of water for ex-
tinguishment. Using a small amount of water or the incorrect fire extinguisher
can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
z 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.:ARN,NGz 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.
z 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.
z 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.
z If your vehicle needs to be towed, trans-
port the vehicle on a flatbed truck or tow the vehicle with all wheels off the ground.
If the any wheels are on the ground when towing, this may cause damage to the elec-
tric motors. This may also cause a fire, if
wiring in the electric motor unit room be-
comes damaged. Refer to “Towing” on
page 9-17.
z Do not attempt to repair a damaged Plu-
gin Hybrid vehicle by yourself. Please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point for service.:ARN,NGz In the event of an accident that requires
body repair and painting, the vehicle should be delivered to a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point to
have the drive battery and high voltage parts such as the inverter, including the
attached wiring harness, removed prior to painting. If exposed to heat in the paint
booth, the drive battery will experience battery capacity loss.
A damaged drive battery can also pose
safety risks to untrained mechanics and repair personnel.NOTEz The emergency shut-off system will be acti-
vated and the high-voltage system will auto-
matically turn off under the following condi- tions:

Inspection and maintenance
When performing inspection and mainte- nance, be careful in the following points.:ARN,NGz Before performing inspection or mainte-
nance, be sure to disconnect the charge connector from the vehicle and confirmthat put the operation mode of the power
switch in “OFF”.
z Never touch, disassemble, remove or re-
place highvoltage parts, exposed electrical components, cables or connectors. Failure
to follow this instruction can result in se- vere burns or electric shock causing seri-ous injury or death. High-voltage cables
are colored orange. The vehicle high volt- age system has no user serviceable parts.
Take your vehicle to a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point for
any necessary maintenance.
z Never touch the service plug under the
rear seat. Improper handling of this couldcause an electric shock which result in a
serious injury or death. The service plug is used to shut off the high voltage from
the drive battery when repairing the vehi-
cle at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.High-Voltage components

9- Power drive unit (PDU)
10- Rear electric motor control unit (MCU) 11- Normal charge port/Quick charge port
:ARN,NGz The Plug-in Hybrid EV System uses high
voltage up to DC 300 volt. The system can
be hot during and after starting and when the vehicle is shut off. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high tempera-
ture. Follow the warning labels that are
attached to the vehicle.
z Always assume the high voltage battery
and associated components are energized and fully charged.
z Never perform servicing when READY
indicator is illuminating or when the charging indicator is illuminating orflashing because the high-voltage system
is operating.

z To warm up the drive battery, you need to register your wireless LAN device (which conforms to IEEE 802.11 b and iOS or Android) to your vehicle by
MITSUBISHI Remote Control (if so equipped).
If the information of “
” mark on the wireless LAN device is displayed, connect the EV charging cable as soon as possible. Refer to “MITSUBISHI
Remote Control” on page 3-20.
z When warming the drive battery with the drive battery warming system (if so equipped), use the EV charging cable. When using a home charging device or
a public charging device (EVSE: Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment), charging and warm-up of the drive battery may be stopped. If this happens, disconnect
the charge connector and insert the charge connector again.
Accordingly, the drive battery warming system will be reactivated and you can start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system within 1 hour.
z The drive battery warming system may not be activated depending on the situation.
z While warming up the drive battery, the following phenomena may occur.

NOTEzPoor quality petrol can cause problems such
as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise
and hesitation. If you experience these prob- lems, try another brand and/or grade of pet-
rol.
If the check engine warning lamp flashes,
have the system checked as soon as possible
at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.

E5: Petrol fuel containing up to 2.7 % (m/m)
oxygen or up to 5.0 % (V/V) ethanol – Eg. EN 228 compliant unleaded petrol

E10: Petrol fuel containing up to 3.7 %
(m/m) oxygen or up to 10.0 % (V/V) ethanol
– Eg. EN 228 compliant unleaded petrol

The petrol engine is compatible with E5 type
petrol (containing 5 % ethanol) and E10 type petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) conformingto European standards EN 228.CAUT,ONz Do not use more than 10 % concentration of
ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use of more than 10 % concentration may
lead to damage to your vehicle fuel system,
engine, engine sensors and exhaust system.Filling the fuel tank:ARN,NGz When handling fuel, comply with the safe-
ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.
z 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.
z Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of the car or fuel pump. Any static electricity on your body
could create a spark that ignites fuel va- pour.:ARN,NGz Perform the whole refueling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov- ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do notlet 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.
z Do not perform charging and refueling at
the same time. If you charged with staticelectricity, fuel vapour could be ignited by the discharge spark.
z 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.
z Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel
contains toxic substances.
z Keep the doors and windows closed while
refueling the vehicle. If they were open,fuel vapour could get into the cabin.
z If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
part.CAUT,ONz The fuel in the fuel tank may not be con-
sumed and it may stagnate for a long time
