fuel cap release MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV 2018 Owner's Manual (in English)

WARNINGlNever start the plug-in hybrid EV system
if you found a leak of a liquid (except wa-
ter of the air conditioner) while checking the outside of the vehicle because there is
possibility the fuel system has been dam- aged and causing of fire or exploding.
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 the any wheels are on the ground when towing, this may cause damage to the elec-
tric motors. This may also cause a fire, if
wiring in the electric motor unit room be- comes damaged. Refer to “Towing” on
page 9-17.
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 experiencebattery 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:
