weight MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV 2017 Owner's Manual (in English)

lIt is the battery to operate the motor and
the air conditioning.
In addition to the drive battery, OUT-
LANDER PHEV has the auxiliary bat-
tery to operate lamps, wipers, etc.
l Compact, light-weight lithium ion bat-
tery with high energy density is used for the drive battery.
l The drive battery has the following char-
acteristics.
Please read this carefully paying atten-
tion to the following:
Characteristics
l The same as ordinary lithium-ion batter-
ies, the battery capacity of the drive bat-
tery gradually reduces with time. As the
drive battery capacity decreases, the ini- tial EV cruising range and the vehicle
performance will similarly decrease.
Depending on the usage conditions, such as frequent quick acceleration/decelera- tion, extremely hot weather, storing the
vehicle in high ambient temperatures, etc., the rate of battery capacity drop will
increase.
l The performance may be changed due to
the ambient temperature.
At low ambient temperature, in particu- lar, the EV cruising range is short and
the charging time is long, compared to operation at normal temperature. Also,charging may be stopped before com-
plete charging.
l When the ambient temperature lowers,
the engine will start frequently, even if there remains much power in the drive
battery.
l Because the engine starts frequently, the
fuel consumption will increase.
l The battery is gradually discharged with-
out use and the battery charge is low-
ered.
l It is not necessary to consume the bat-
tery completely before charging.Precautions for operation
l If your vehicle is not used for a long
time, check the drive battery level dis-
play every 3 months.
If the drive battery level display shows
0, charge the battery until some indica- tion appears. Alternatively, start the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System and turn on the ready indicator.
The engine will then automatically start to charge the drive battery.
Wait until the engine automatically
stops, then put the operation mode of the
power switch in OFF.

teries. If you scrap your vehicle, please
consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
EV cruising range
E00205100025
lEven 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.

CAUTIONlWhen driving with a child in the rear seat,
please use the child protection to prevent ac-
cidental door opening which may cause an accident.Tailgate*
E00301402634WARNINGlIt is dangerous to drive with the tailgate
open, since carbon monoxide (CO) gas can enter the cabin.
You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
l When opening and closing the tailgate,
make sure that there are no people near-
by and be careful not to hit your head or
pinch your hands, neck, etc.
l When there is a build up of snow or ice, it
should be removed before opening the
tailgate. If you open the tailgate without removing it, there is a possibility that the tailgate may close suddenly due to theweight of that snow or ice.WARNINGl When you open the tailgate make sure
that the tailgate is opened fully and re-
mains fully open. If you only open the tail- gate halfway there is a risk that the tail-
gate may drop and slam shut. If you open
the tailgate whilst your vehicle is parked on an incline it is more difficult to do so
than on the flat and also it may drop and slam shut.CAUTIONl To avoid damage to the tailgate, make sure
the area above and behind the tailgate is
clear before opening it.
To lock/unlock
The tailgate can be locked or unlocked by us-
ing the central door lock switch (driver side).
1- Lock
2- UnlockNOTEl Repeated continuous operating between lock

If the vehicle is driven with the seat belt still
unfastened, the warning lamp will blink and
the tone will sound intermittently until the
seat belt is fastened. At the same time, “FAS-
TEN SEAT BELT” is displayed on the infor- mation screen in the multi information dis-
play for the driver.WARNINGl Do not install any accessory or sticker
that makes the lamp difficult to see.NOTEl If the seat belt subsequently remains unfas-
tened, the warning lamp and the tone will is-
sue further warnings each time the vehicle starts moving from a stop.
l For the front passenger seat, the warning
function works only while a person is sitting
on the seat.
l When luggage is placed on the front passen-
ger seat, a sensor in the seat cushion may,
depending on the weight and position of the
luggage, cause the warning tone to sound
and the warning lamp to come on.For the rear passenger’s seats
E00415501021
If the operation mode of the power switch is
put in ON while a seat belt is not fastened,
the warning lamp comes on for approximate-
ly 30 seconds to remind the rear passenger to fasten the seat belt.
If the vehicle is driven with the seat belt still
unfastened, the warning lamps come on for
approximately another 30 seconds. (This illu-
mination happens only the first time the vehi- cle starts moving with the seat belt still un-
fastened.)
The warning lamps go off when the seat belt is fastened.
WARNINGl Do not install any accessory or sticker
that makes the lamp difficult to see.NOTEl The warning lamp comes on even if no one
is sitting on the rear seats.
l If a seat belt is unfastened while the vehicle
is being driven, the tone sounds for approxi- mately 1 second and the warning lampcomes on for approximately 30 seconds. At the same time, the warning lamp for the seat
where the seat belt is not fastened comes on.
l If the seat belts are initially fastened but a
seat belt is unfastened while the vehicle is
stationary and the vehicle is then driven with the seat belt still unfastened, the warning
lamp comes on again for approximately 30 seconds.Adjustable seat belt anchor

WARNINGlA REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front passenger seat when the driver’s visibilityis obstructed.Infants and small children
E00406602065
When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given below.
Instruction:
l For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children whose height when seated allows the shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should be used.
l The child restraint system should be ap-
propriate for the child’s weight and
height and properly fit in the vehicle. For a higher degree of safety: THECHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.NOTEl Before purchasing a child restraint system,
try installing it to make sure there is a good fit. Because of the location of the seat belt
buckles and the shape of the seat cushion, it may be difficult to securely install some
manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled forward or to either side easily on the seatcushion after the seat belt has been tight-
ened, choose another manufacturer’s child restraint system.WARNINGl When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by themanufacturer of the restraint system.Failure to do so can result in severe or fa-tal injury to the child.WARNINGl After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and sideto side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac- cident or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system se- cured with the seat belt or remove it fromthe vehicle in order to prevent it from be- ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-
ing an accident.
Depending on the seating position in the
vehicle and the child restraint system
that you have, the child restraint can be attached using one of the following two
ways: • Using the lower anchorage in the front
passenger seat or the rear seat if the
child restraint has ISOFIX mountings (See page 5-24).
• Using the seat belt (See page 5-26).
Older children
E00406700307
Children who have outgrown the child re-
straint system should be seated in the rear
seat and wear combination lap shoulder belt.

Economical drivingE00600102422
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting and acceleration
Avoid driving when the accelerator pedal ispressed way down, such as for unnecessarily sudden starts, acceleration and deceleration.
Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal.
Observe the speed limit and keep the speed
as constant as possible while driving.
Idling
Parking for a long period with the ready indi-
cator illuminated will shorten the cruising
range.
Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more drive
battery is consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of drive battery.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al- so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Air conditioning
Too much cooling/heating can affect the cruising range, so maintain an appropriatetemperature to extend the cruising range.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously im- paired even with blood alcohol levels far be-
low the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or
use public transportation. Drinking coffee or
taking a cold shower will not make you so- ber.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and re- action time. Consult with your doctor or
pharmacist before driving while under the in- fluence of any of these medications.WARNINGl NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired.Safe driving techniques
E00600301775

NOTElEven if the battery charge mode switch is
pressed, the battery charge mode may not beactivated depending on the remaining drive
battery capacity or the remaining fuel quan- tity and the control.
l It is recommended to use the battery charge
mode switch at least 20 minutes before youclimb, in order to continue a speed of more
than 100 km/h (62 mph), or when a long slope (gradient of more than 4 %) is expec-
ted. (According to a towing weight, it may not be able to continue the speed.)
l When using the battery charge switch with a
vehicle that has stopped in the heath a long
time, it may not charge.
l The charging time close to full charge of the
drive battery becomes longer depending on the condition of the drive battery, a driving
condition or a environment.
l The engine may stop near full charge.
l If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity while using gaso-
line, the fuel consumption will suffer.
We recommend you to consider the environ- ment.NOTEl When the engine is started while parking,
there is a risk of receiving a penalty due to idling stop ordinances.
You should use the battery charge mode
switch that conforms to the relevant munici- pality.
If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity using gasoline, the fuel consumption will suffer.
l If the battery save mode switch or the EV
switch is pressed while the battery charge
mode is activated, the battery charge mode is
cancelled and the battery save mode or EV
priority mode is activated.
Refer to “Battery save mode switch” on page 7-27 or “EV switch” on page 7-25.
If the battery charge mode switch is pressed
again, the mode will be returned to the bat- tery charge mode.Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System (AVAS) E00631601051
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.
The sound starts when the AVAS is operated
in the following conditions.
l When the vehicle speed is about 3 km/h
(2 mph) or less with engine not runningand the brake pedal is not depressed.
l When the vehicle speed is about 3 km/h
(2 mph) to 35 km/h (22 mph) and engine
is not running.
The sound does not start in the following ca-
ses.
l When the vehicle speed is about 3 km/h
(2 mph) or less and the brake pedal is depressed.
l When the vehicle speed is about 35 km/h
(22 mph) or more.
