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).

5. Turn off the air conditioning when it’s not needed.
6. Use Economy Mode. This maximizes the vehicle’s fuel
economy. It’s activated by pressing the ‘ECO’ button.
The Economy Mode limits other aspects of the vehicle’s
performance, such as acceleration rate and air-
conditioning, to save fuel.
7. When accelerating keep the ‘Power’ needle in the green
range so that (depending on battery level) the petrol
engine does not start.
8. Avoid hard braking. Braking gently or moderately allows
the regenerative braking system to recover energy from
the vehicle’s forward motion and store it as electricity.
Hard braking causes the vehicle to use its conventional
friction brakes, which do not recover energy. When using
regenerative braking, the ‘negative’ (LH) paddle increases
the amount of regenerative braking and thus the braking
force. This action also reduces wear to the braking system
components.
9. Use 4WD Lock Mode only when additional traction or
stability is required.
10. Familiarise yourself with the car’s hybrid information
display so you can monitor how much energy is being
used.

Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system
What is the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system?
— In Electric Vehicle Drive Mode, the vehicle is driven only by the electric motors, just like an electric vehicle, up to a certain distance, using the electricity stored in the battery. When the battery charge is low or when powerful acceleration is needed, the vehicle operates in Series Hybrid Mode. In high-speed driving, the vehicle is driven by the engine in Parallel Hybrid Mode.
— The high-performance electric motors greatly reduce noise and vibration while driving and provide powerful acceleration.
— The regenerative braking system automatically starts to charge the battery when the accelerator pedal is released.
Electric Vehicle ‘EV’ Drive Mode
The vehicle is driven only by the motors, using electricity stored in the battery.
Series Hybrid Mode
When the battery level is low, or during rapid acceleration or hill climbing, the vehicle is driven only by the motors using petrol engine-generated electricity.
Parallel Hybrid Mode
In high-speed driving, when the engine runs efficiently, the vehicle is driven by the engine and is assisted by the motors when necessary.
MULTI DISPLAY METER
In each case, the flow of energy is displayed on the instrument cluster and/or centre display.

Regenerative Braking system
Similar to engine braking on engine-powered vehicles, the electric motors act as generators when the accelerator pedal is released or the brake pedal is depressed while driving. In this way, kinetic energy is converted into electric energy, which is then used to charge the battery.
The flow of energy during regenerative braking is displayed on the instrument cluster.
The intensity of regenerative braking can be selected from two levels, using the gear selector lever. Using the paddles, the intensity can be selected from six levels.*
* Lightly touching the brake pedal when in regenerative mode will increase the regenerative effort rather than wasting the kinetic energy into brake heat and wear to brake components.

Operating the selector lever
To start the vehicle, follow the steps below.
Step 1 Ensure that the indicator is illuminated.
You cannot shift into or even if you move the selector to those positions while the indicator is extinguished or blinking. The selected position display will not change to or , either.
Step 2 Depress the brake pedal completely.
Step 3 Move the selector lever to or .
Step 4 Ensure that the selected position display shows or . Use position when powerful braking is needed such as when driving down a steep hill. Position is only selectable from position .

Important points!
To enter the READY mode, press the power switch while holding down the brake pedal.
To put the power switch to OFF, press the switch once when the indicator lamp is blue (ON) or twice when the lamp is orange (ACC) while the brake pedal is released.Power switch
Warning!
While driving, do not put any object near the selector lever, which may be accidentally pushed against the selector, which may then move into .

Starting the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system
Step 1 Ensure that the charging cable is disconnected from the vehicle.
Step 2 Ensure that the parking brake is applied.
Step 3 Depress the brake pedal completely.
Step 4 Press the power switch completely.
Do not release the brake pedal until the system has successfully started.
Step 5 Ensure that the indicator is illuminated.
Do not operate the selector lever until the indicator is illuminated. If the selector lever is operated while the indicator is still blinking, the system will not start.
Is something really wrong?
If the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system cannot be started, remove your foot from the brake pedal, return the power switch to OFF. Wait for more than 10 seconds and then repeat the startup steps 1 to 5.
If position or cannot be selected (display not changing to or ) using the selector lever when the indicator is illuminated, the brake pedal may not be depressed completely. Depress the brake pedal completely and then repeat the start-off steps 1 to 4 before selecting or .
If the 12v auxiliary battery is flat the vehicle cannot be started. Refer to the owners manual on page 9-2 for the jump starting procedure as it is unique for PHEV system.
