Congratulations on purchasing your new Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle! Here are a few important things you need to know:
A few tips to get you started!
1. We’ve supplied you with charging hooks for you to secure
directly beside your dedicated charging outlet. Simply peel off the backing strip and stick to a dry, clean surface. When charging, simply hang the control box and the charging cable on the hooks.
2. When you get home, make sure you plug in your Outlander and set to charge overnight to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates after 11pm. You can check the remaining time until fully charged on the instrument centre display panel.
3. Your vehicle takes 91 unleaded fuel.
4. Your first service is at 1,500km or within one month. But don’t worry if you forget, we’ll be in contact to remind you.
5. To download your Smartphone application, simply visit Google play or apple iTunes and search ‘Outlander PHEV’ or visit mmnz.co.nz/plug-in-hybrid (applies to VRX model only)
6. Have your Outlander serviced only by an authorised Mitsubishi Motors dealer. For a list of dealers visit
mmnz.co.nz/dealers-and-service.
Fuel saving tips
These fuel saving tips will help you get the most out your Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle.
1. Keep the battery charged by plugging into the mains
powerpoint. This will ensure you use as much electricity and
as little petrol as possible. It will also help maximize your
Electric Vehicle driving range. Recharging a partially charged
battery will not degrade the battery’s storage capacity, so
when possible plug in the vehicle.
2. To take maximum advantage of owning the Outlander Plug-
In Hybrid be sure to set your charge times to when electricity
power rates are at their lowest. Check with your electricity
provider for your ‘Off-Peak’ details.
3. Before driving, warm or cool the car while it is still connected
to the house power supply. This will reduce the power drain
on the battery and maximise your Electric Vehicle range. On
VRX models you can use the app to do this remotely.
4. Use the seat heaters to warm you up as they use less battery
power than the car heater (VRX model).
