boot MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV 2014 Owner's Manual (in English)

WARNINGlNever start the plug-in hybrid EV system
if you have found liquid leaking (exceptwater of the air conditioner) while check- ing the outside of the vehicle. The fuel sys-
tem might have been damaged and might be causing fire or explosion.
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.WARNINGl 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 any of the wheels are on the ground when towing, this may cause damage to
the electric motors. This may also cause a
fire, if wiring in the electric motor unit room becomes damaged. Refer to “Tow-
ing” on page 9-18.
l Do not attempt to repair a damaged Plu-
gin Hybrid vehicle by yourself. Please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point for service.
l 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.NOTEl The emergency shut-off system will be acti-
vated and the high-voltage system will auto- matically turn off under the following condi-
tions:

NOTElThe warning message can be cleared tempo-
rarily by setting the LDW switch to “OFF.”
LDW deactivation due to fault
The alarm shown below is displayed if LDW
becomes to a non-initialized state due to a
fault.
If this happens, please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point for inspection of the system.
CAUTIONl LDW has its performance limitations. Do
not over-rely on the system.
l LDW is not designed to lessen risks associ-
ated with not looking ahead carefully (atten-
tion drawn to something on the side, absent-
mindedness, etc.) or poor visibility caused
by bad weather etc. Keep steering your vehi-
cle correctly and drive safely.
l The system may not be able to detect the
lane correctly in the following conditions. If required, set the LDW switch to “OFF.”
• When driving on a road whose lane mark-
ings (white or yellow) are worn out or
smeared with dirt to an extent not recog- nizable by the system.
• When lane markings are vague, typically
during a drive in the rain, snow or fog, or when running against the sun.
• When the vehicle is moving in a place
where lane markings are interrupted, such
as a toll booth entrance and motorway junction.
• When running on a road portion with in-
completely removed old lane markings,
shadows, lingering snow, truck-like pud- dles mistakable for lane markings (espe-cially after the rain when road surface is
reflecting light) or similar confusing fac- tors.
• When running in a lane other than the
cruising lane and passing lane.
• When running beside a closed lane sec-
tion or in a provisional lane in a traffic
work zone.CAUTION• When running in an extremely narrow
lane.
• When the following distance between
your vehicle and a vehicle in front be-
comes extremely reduced (especially when a marking is hidden by a vehicle in
front this is running too close to the mark- ing).
• When entering a junction or other point of
road where lanes are laid out complicated-ly.
• When passing a road section where the
number of lanes increases/decreases or
multiple lanes are crossing each other.
• When the lane is marked by double or
otherwise special lines.
• When driving on a winding or rough road.
• When driving on a slippery road covered
by rain water, snow, ice, etc.
• When passing through a place where the
brightness suddenly changes, like the inlet or outlet of a tunnel.
• When turning steep curves.
• When the road surface is reflecting the
light shining from the direction opposite
to the running direction.
• Vehicle largely lurches when it is running
over steps or other irregularities of the
road surface.
• When the headlamp illumination is inade-
quate because of contaminated or deterio-
rated lenses or improperly aimed head- lamps.
