WARNINGlIf the POWER or CHARGING indicator does not illuminates or the FAULT indicator blinks or illuminates during normal charging, please contact
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l Do not charge when the EV charging cable is coiled up.
The cable may be heated abnormally and resulting in fire.
l Do not alter or disassemble the EV charging cable. Doing so could cause fire, an electric shock or injury.
l Be sure to install the cap to the normal charge connector and store the EV charging cable in a place where the cable is not exposed to water or dust.
Entry of foreign matter such as water or dust in the metal terminal of the normal charge connector or charging cable plug may cause a fire or malfunction.
l Never force the connection if the EV charging cable or connector shows damage or is not easily connected due to foreign material entering the
connector or the outlet. And never use an outlet that is worn, damaged, or will not hold the plug firmly. Doing so could cause fire, an electric shock,
or short circuit.
l Pay attention to the following for handling the EV charging cable.
Damage to the cable could cause fire, an electric shock, or short circuit.
• Do not drop the cable or do not give strong impact to it.
• Do not pull or bend with undue force.
• Do not twist.
• Do not drag.
• Do not put an object on top.
• Do not put the cable close to a heating unit including heater.CAUTIONl Do not connect the normal charge cable to an outlet that has a lower rating than the current value described on the control box.NOTElAll indicators are illuminated momentarily for confirming operation when the charging cable plug is inserted into an outlet. After that the POWER indicator
and the CHARGING indicator is continuously illuminated.

WARNING•Do not open the tailgate, for example to
remove or place an item in the cargo area.
Charging may affect the operation of elec-
tric medical devices and result in serious personal injury or death.
l Do not charge when the EV charging ca-
ble is coiled up.
Doing so the cable may be heated abnor- mally and this might result in fire.
l Before charging, make sure that there is
no foreign matter such as dust at the nor-
mal charge port and the normal charge connector.
At this time, do not touch the normal
charge port.
l When the normal charge connector is
connected to the charge port, prevent for- eign matter such as water or dust from
entering in the connection.
Connection with foreign matter such as
water or dust may cause fire or an electric shock. Do not perform charging if there
might be strong exposure to water at the connection.
l Never pull the cable to remove the plug.
And never submerge the EV charging
connector, control box or plug in water.
l Please observe the following in order to
prevent accidents during charging such as
electrocution.
• Only use the EV charging cable that is
supplied with the vehicle.WARNING• Do not charge another vehicle by the
EV charging cable. The cable may overheat and this may result in a fire.
• When charging outdoors, make sure to
use an outlet that is protected from wa-
ter entering.
• Do not perform charging with the vehi-
cle covered by a car cover, except for
the MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENU-
INE car cover.

and connector with wet hands.
l While it is normal for the connector and
charging cable to become warm during charging, discontinue use immediately if
the connector or charging cable becomes hot to the touch.
l While it is normal for the control box to
become warm during charging, discontin-
ue use immediately if the control box be- comes hot to the touch.
l If abnormal smells are detected or the ve-
hicle produces smoke, quickly stop charg-
ing.
l Do not perform charging in a poorly ven-
tilated area or in an enclosed area. Keep
sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from
the auxiliary battery.
Flammable gas generated from the auxili- ary battery during charging may be trap- ped, resulting in explosion.
If charging is inevitably required, venti-
late the area well.WARNINGl Grasp the normal charge connector when
connecting or disconnecting the EVcharging cable.
Grasping the cable may damage the cable
and could cause an electric shock, short circuit, and/or fire.CAUTIONl During charging, the cooling fans inside the
engine compartment may automatically be operated even if the operation mode of the
power switch is in OFF.
Keep your hands away from the cooling fan during charging.
l Do not perform charging from other power
source like a generator. Doing so could cause a malfunction.NOTEl If the charge connector is not easily connec-
ted to the charge port due to foreign materialentering, never force the connection. Doing so could damage the charging equipment or
the vehicle. Please contact a MITSUBISHI
