It is operated as electric vehicle in the EVdrive mode using the electrical power storedin the drive battery,*
1 according to the
remaining amount of the drive battery. It isalso automatic control*
2 for driving in series
hybrid mode or parallel hybrid mode usingengine power from EV drive mode accordingto the driving condition or if the charginglevel of the drive battery is decreased.
zWi t h th e h i gh perfo rman ce m ot or, n oi seand vibration during driving are greatlylimited and powerful acceleration can alsobe obtained.zWi t h t h e r eg ene r at iv e b r ake , t h e dr i v e ba t-tery is automatically charged when theaccelerator is released.zThe vehicle can be charged from EVcharge power outlets (rated AC 240 V).zThe vehicle is driven by the motors onlyusing electrical power stored in the drivebattery. However, EV drive mode is can-celled depending on the drive batterylevel, vehicle speed, and air conditioneroperating conditions. Pay attention to thefollowing points:•Check the EV cruising range in theinformation screen. Refer to “EV cruis-ing range display/Total cruising rangedisplay” on page 6-13.•Drive your vehicle at moderate speedsavoiding quick acceleration/decelera-tion. Repeated quick acceleration/decel-eration causes the drive battery level todecrease quickly, which extremelyreduces the EV cruising range.
zThe vehicle is driven by the motors onlyusing the electricity generated by theengine. This mode is used when the drivebattery level is low, at quick acceleration,or when power is required like climbinguphill. zThe vehicle is driven by the power of theengine, assisted by motors. This mode isused during high-speed driving with bet-ter engine efficiency.
Plug-in Hybrid EV System Main features *1:If there is a remaining amount in thedrive battery, it is actively driven in theEV drive mode. The cruising range var-ies depending on the remaining charge inthe drive battery, vehicle speed, and airconditioner operating conditions.
*2:Yo u c a n a d j u s t t h e t i m i n g t o s w i t c h t othe EV drive mode by using the batterysave switch. Refer to “Battery saveswitch” on page 7-22.

Motion energy is converted into electric energy using the motor as a power generator.Then a braking force generates and converted electric energy will be charged to the drive battery.zIf you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal during driving, a braking force that equivalent to engine braking of a combusti
on engine vehicle
will be generated. Also, if you shift the select position into “B” (BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), effectiveness of the regenerative
braking is get-
ting strong. Shift the selector lever into “B” (
BRAKE) position according to the driving condition.
zRegenerative brake force increases with the foot brake force when the brake pedal is depressed.zIf a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid EV system, or if the
ABS and/or the ASC have been activated, the regenerative braking
will be
restricted. The foot brake will still operate.

zEven when the vehicle is driving in EVdrive mode, it may be automaticallychanged to series hybrid mode or parallelhybrid mode in the following cases:•The plug-in hybrid EV system is too hotor too cold.
•Quick acceleration is applied.•The air conditioner is operating.•The accelerator pedal is depressed hardon an uphill road or expressway.•In cold weather•The vehicle has not been refueled for along time.•The drive battery level is low.
In addition to the above, there are morecases where EV drive mode is automati-cally changed to series or parallel hybridmode.zEven while the vehicle is stopped, theengine may automatically be started in thefollowing cases:•The drive battery level is low.

zIt is the battery to operate the motor andthe air conditioning.In addition to the drive battery, OutlanderPHEV has the auxiliary battery to operatelamps, wipers, etc.zCompact, light-weight lithium ion batterywith high energy density is used for thedrive battery.zThe drive battery has the following char-acteristics.Please read this carefully paying attentionto the following:zThe same as ordinary lithium-ion batter-ies, the battery capacity of the drive bat-tery gradually reduces with time, resultingin reduced cruising range. Depending onthe usage conditions, such as frequentquick acceleration/deceleration,extremely hot weather, storing the vehiclein high ambient temperatures, etc., therate of battery capacity drop will increase.
Refueling (gasoline)
CAUTIONzDepending on the opera
ting conditions of
your vehicle, the fuel in the fuel tank maynot be used for a long time and stay in thetank, resulting in deterioration of the fuelquality. As this may af
fect the engine and
fuel system parts, observe the followinginstructions:•Run the engine by pressing the batterycharge switch at least once in 3 months.Refer to “Battery charge switch” on page7-23.• Refuel 20 litres or more of fuel every 6months (to make the total refueling amountin 6 months be 20 litres or more).
zIf refueling of the above
amount is not possi-
ble due to a high fuel level because the vehi-cle has not been used for a long time or forsome other reason, consult a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorised Service Point.
Drive battery
WA R N I N GzA sealed lithium ion
high voltage battery
(drive battery) is
adopted for Outlander
PHEV. If the drive battery is disposed ofimproperly, there is a
risk of severe burns
and electrical shock that may result inserious injury or death and there is also arisk of environmental damage.
zNever attempt to use the drive battery forany other purpose.

zThe performance may be changed due tothe outside temperature.At low temperature, in particular, the EVcruising range is short and the chargingtime is long, compared to operation atnormal temperature.zThe battery is gradually discharged with-out use and the battery charge is lowered.zIt is not necessary to consume the batterycompletely before charging.zIf your vehicle is not used for a long time,check the drive battery level display every3 months.If the drive battery level display shows 0,charge the battery until some indicationappears. Alternately, put the operationmode of the power switch in “ON” to startthe engine automatically, wait for theengine to stop automatically, then put theoperation mode of the power switch in“OFF”.zMitsubishi Motors collects drive batteries.If you scrap your vehicle, please consult aMitsubishi Motors Authorised ServicePoint.
E00204000027
zEven if the charge level is the same, theEV cruising range may vary depending ondriving conditions. Since driving at highspeed or climbing on a hill requires higherconsumption of the drive battery thanusual, the EV cruising range is shortened.zSince the air conditioning (cooling orheating) consumes power of the drive bat-tery, its operation results in a shorter EVcruising range. Maintain an appropriatetemperature.zPut the selector lever to “B” (BRAKE)position according to the road condition.To c h a rg e t h e d r i v e b a t t e r y w i t h a p p r o p r i -ate use of the regenerative brake, it can beincreased the EV cruising range.

The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System(AVAS) is device that uses sound to alertpedestrians of the presence of the vehicle.The system operates when the vehicle speedis about 35 km/h or less and the engine is notrunning.Refer to “Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System(AVAS)” on page 7-24.
E00204200029
A crash or impact significant enough torequire an emergency response for conven-tional vehicles would also require the sameresponse for Outlander PHEV.Also follow the instructions described belowto avoid severe burns and electrical shock thatmay result in serious injury or death.
Precautions for operation

45 litres1. Before filling with fuel, stop the plug-inhybrid EV system.
NOTE
zPoor quality petrol can cause problems suchas hard starting, sta
lling, engine noise and
hesitation. If your experience these prob-lems, try another brand and/or grade of pet-rol.If the check engine
warning lamp flashes,
have the system checked as soon as possibleat a MITSUBISHI MOTORS AuthorisedService Point.
Filling the fuel tank
WA R N I N GzWhen handling fuel, comply with thesafety regulations displayed by garagesand filling stations.zGasoline is highly flammable and explo-sive. You could be burned or seriouslyinjured when handling it. When refuelingyour vehicle, always
put the operation
mode of the power switch in OFF andkeep away from flames, sparks, and smok-ing materials. Always handle fuel in well-ventilated outdoor areas.zBefore removing the fuel cap, be sure toget rid of your body’s static electricity bytouching a metal part of the car or fuelpump. Any static electricity on your bodycould create a spark that ignites fuelvapor.
zPerform the whole refueling process(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do notlet any other person come near the fueltank filler. If you allowed a person to helpyou and that person was carrying staticelectricity, fuel vapor could be ignited.zDo not perform chargi
ng and refueling at
the same time. If you charged with staticelectricity, fuel vapor could be ignited bythe discharge spark.zDo not move away from the fuel tank filleruntil refueling is finished. If you movedaway and did something else (for example,sitting on a seat) part-way through therefueling process, you could pick up afresh charge of st
atic electricity.
zBe careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuelcontains toxic substances.zKeep the doors and windows closed whilerefueling the vehicle. If they were open,fuel vapor could get into the cabin.zIf the tank cap must be replaced, use onlya MITSUBIHI MOTORS original part.WA R N I N G
CAUTIONzDepending on the opera
ting conditions of
your vehicle, the fuel in the fuel tank maynot be used for a long time and stay in thetank, resulting in deterioration of the fuelquality. As this may af
fect the engine and
fuel system parts, observe the followinginstructions:•Run the engine by pressing the batterycharge switch at least once in 3 months.Refer to “Battery charge switch” on page7-23.• Refuel 20 litres or more of fuel every 6months (to make the total refueling amountin 6 months be 20 litres or more).
zIf refueling of the above
amount is not possi-
ble due to a high fuel level because the vehi-cle has not been used for a long time or forsome other reason, consult a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorised Service Point.
