There are two types of charging: normalcharging and quick charging.
Normal charging is performed through the on
board charger using rated AC 220-240V out-
let as the power source
The rated AC voltage may differ from coun-
try to country.

WARNINGlTo reduce the risk of electric shock or fire
due to electric leak, always use an earthed
outlet protected by a residual current de-
tector, rated for amperage equal to or greater than the value specified by MITSUBISHI MOTORS , and that is con-
nected to a dedicated branch circuit. If
the circuit is shared, and another electri- cal device is being used at the same time
as the vehicle is charging, the circuit may heat abnormally, the breaker may trip
and the circuit may cause adverse inter- ference on the household electrical appli-
ances such as TVs and audio systems.
l It is possible to charge even in rain or
snow. However, be sure to pay attention to the following:
• Do not touch normal charge port, nor-
mal charge connector, outlet and plug with wet hands.
• Keep away from water when connect-
ing the normal charge port, normal
charge connector, outlet and plug.
• Do not perform the charging in the out
of doors when heavy rain, heavy snow, strong winds, and when bad weather is
expected.
• Do not charge if there is possibility a
lightning strike. When thunder rum- bling begins suddenly during normal
charging, do not touch the vehicle and the EV charging cable and turn off the
breaker.WARNINGl If water goes into the normal charge port
or the normal charge connector, it couldcause a short circuit, a fire and an electric shock.
Be sure to completely close the charging
lid and the inner lid and do not leave the EV charging cable in an outdoors.
l If the connected part of the charging plug
has been buried in snow while charging, turn off the hand switch or the breaker
connected with the outlet first, then re- move the snow and disconnect the charg-
ing plug. If your vehicle body has been buried in snow while charging, remove
the snow and then disconnect the charge connector.
l When you perform the normal charging
at away from home, some normal charg-
ers may not correspond to your vehicle. Consult an administrator or a maker of
the normal charger that it corresponds to your vehicle before using it. Also perform
normal charging according to the operat-
ing procedure indicated on the body of
normal charger.
l Do not open the charging lid for anything
other than charging and using the exter-
nal power feed.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to perform a jump start on
the auxiliary battery at the same time that the
drive battery is being charged. Doing so may
damage the vehicle or charging cable and
could cause injury.
Refer to “Emergency starting” on page 9-02.NOTEl If you open the charging lid with the opera-
tion mode of the power switch is ON, a buz- zer sounds approximately 10 minutes inter-mittently to alert the charging cannot be star- ted. If you close the charging lid or put theoperation mode in OFF, the buzzer stops.
l If you insert the charge connector to the
charge port with the operation mode is ON,
a buzzer sounds continuously approximately
10 minutes to alert the charging cannot be started.
If you pull the charge connector out or put the operation mode in OFF, the buzzer stops.
l Repeatedly performing only quick charging
may reduce the battery capacity.
In usual charge, normal charging is recom-
mended.
l To maintain the capacity of the drive battery,
the following is recommended:
• If you repeatedly perform only the quick
charging, fully charge the vehicle in nor- mal charging every 2 weeks.

3-05OGGE18E1Charging3

NOTE•Do not repeat charging near the full
charge level.
l The quick charging gives priority when the
normal charging and the quick charging are performed at the same time. At this time, thenormal charging will be stopped.
l Even if the operation mode of the power
switch is OFF, you may hear the operating sound of the cooling fan for cooling the
drive battery during charging.
This is not a malfunction.
l If your vehicle is not used for a long time,
check the energy level gauge every 3 months. If the gauge shows 0, charge thedrive battery until some indication appears.
Alternatively, start the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System. Then the engine will automatically start to charge the drive battery. Wait until the engine automatically stops, then put theoperation mode of the power switch in OFF.
l In the event of an electrical power outage
while charging, charging restarts automati-
cally with the restoration of electricity.Charge port courtesy lamp

If the charging indicator is not illumina-
ted, charging has not started.
Make sure that the normal charge port
and the plug are correctly connected, and
perform charging from Step 5 again.
NOTEl When the normal charge connector is con-
nected to the charge port, the charging indi-
cator will blink. When charging is started, the charging indicator illuminates and thecharging port courtesy lamp blinks 3 times.
l If you want to confirm the drive battery level
or the predicted charging time during charg-
ing, one of the doors is opened or the multi
information display switch is operated, the drive battery level display (I) appears and the predicted charging time display (J) ap-
pears on the information screen in the multi
information display.

(E) on the instrument cluster is illumina-
ted.
If the charging indicator is not illumina-
ted, charging is not started.
Follow the manual of each quick charg-
er.
NOTEl When the quick charge connector is connec-
ted to the charge port, the charging indicator
is blinking. When charging is started, the charging indicator is illuminated.
l If you want to confirm the drive battery level
during charging, open one of the doors or operate the multi information display switch,
the drive battery level display (F) appears on the information screen in the multi informa-tion display.
Although the predicted charging time dis- play (G) appears, the charging time for the
quick charging is approximately 30 minutes and displayed “--:--” in the screen and you
cannot confirm the remaining charging time.
l Operation noise may be heard from the vehi-
cle body during quick charging.
This noise comes from the operation of the drive battery cooling system, and it is not a
malfunction.
l Since the drive battery cooling system uses
cool air of the air conditioning, the air condi-tioning is automatically operated.
After quick charging, if the area under the
vehicle is wet, transparent and loose, it is de- humidified water from the air conditioning
and not a malfunction.
7. Charging is complete when the charging
indicator turns off.
