Overview

Plug-in Hybrid EV System

E00203500041

Main features

E00203600244

It is operated as an electric vehicle in the EV
drive mode using the electrical power stored
in the drive battery,

according to the re-

maining amount of the drive battery. It is also
automatic control

for driving in series hy-

brid mode or parallel hybrid mode using en-
gine power from EV drive mode according to
the driving condition or if the charging level
of the drive battery is decreased.

With the high performance motor, noise
and vibration during driving is mini-
mized and powerful acceleration can al-
so be obtained.

With the regenerative brake, the drive
battery is automatically charged when
the accelerator is released.

If there is a remaining amount in the drive

battery, it is actively driven in the EV
drive mode. The cruising range varies de-
pending on the remaining charge in the
drive battery, vehicle speed, and air condi-
tioner operating conditions.

You can adjust the timing to switch to the

EV  drive  mode  by  using  the  save  mode.
Refer  to  “SAVE/CHARGE  mode  switch”
on  page  7-28.  Refer  to  “Battery  save
mode” on page 7-29.

The vehicle can be charged from EV
charge power outlets (rated AC
220-240 V).

Quick  charging  using  the  CHAdeMO
quick charger is possible. CHAdeMO is
a standard for quick charging of electric
vehicles  originally  started  in  Japan,  and
the  contents  have  also  become  interna-
tional standard.

EV drive mode

The  vehicle  is  driven  by  the  motors  us-
ing  only  electrical  power  stored  in  the
drive  battery.  However,  EV  drive  mode
is cancelled depending on the drive bat-
tery  level,  vehicle  speed,  and  air  condi-
tioner  operating  conditions.  Pay  atten-
tion to the following points:

• Check the EV cruising range in the in-

formation screen. Refer to “EV cruis-
ing range display/Total cruising range
display” on page 6-15.

• Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds

avoiding  quick  acceleration/decelera-
tion.  Repeated  quick  acceleration/
deceleration  causes  the  drive  battery
level  to  decrease  quickly,  which  ex-
tremely  reduces  the  EV  cruising
range.

If you want to drive the vehicle without
starting the engine as much as possible,
make the switch to the EV priority mode
by pressing the EV switch.
Refer to “EV switch” on page 7-25.

Series hybrid mode

The  vehicle  is  driven  by  the  motors  us-
ing only the electricity generated by the
engine.  This  mode  is  used  when  the
drive battery level is low, at quick accel-
eration,  or  when  power  is  required  like
climbing uphill.

NOTE

While  driving  the  Series  hybrid  mode,  the
engine  malfunction  diagnostic  system  may
operate.
If this system operates, the engine sound will
decrease.  This  does  not  indicate  a  malfunc-
tion.

Parallel hybrid mode

The vehicle is driven by the power of the
engine, assisted by motors. This mode is
used during high-speed driving with bet-
ter engine efficiency.

Regenerative braking

Motion energy is converted into electric ener-
gy using the motor as a power generator.
Then a braking force generates and converted
electric energy will be charged to the drive
battery.

If  you  lift  your  foot  off  the  accelerator
pedal during driving, a braking force that
is equivalent to engine braking of a com-
bustion engine vehicle will be generated.
Also, if you shift the select position into
“B”  (BRAKE)  from  “D”  (DRIVE),  ef-
fectiveness of the regenerative braking is
getting  stronger.  Shift  the  selector  lever
into “B” (BRAKE) position according to
the driving condition.

When you depress the brake pedal, the
regenerative braking force may be in-
creased.

If a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid
EV  system,  or  if  the  ABS  and/or  the
ASC  have  been  activated,  the  regenera-
tive  braking  will  be  restricted.  The  foot
brake will still operate.

When stronger regenerative braking is
generated, the stop lamps will illuminate
even when the brake pedal is not de-
pressed.

Operation of gasoline engine

E00203700098

Even when the vehicle is driving in EV
drive mode, it may be automatically
changed to series hybrid mode or paral-
lel hybrid mode in the following cases:

• The plug-in hybrid EV system is too

hot or too cold.

• Quick acceleration is applied.
• The air conditioner is operating.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed

hard on an uphill road or expressway.

• In cold weather.
• The vehicle has not been refueled for

a long time.

• The drive battery level is low.

In addition to the above, there are more
cases where EV drive mode is automati-
cally changed to series or parallel hybrid
mode.

Even while the vehicle is stopped, the
engine may automatically be started in
the following cases:

• The drive battery level is low.
• The plug-in hybrid EV system is too

hot or too cold.

• The air conditioner is used.
• The vehicle has not been used for a

long time.

• The engine has not been operated for a

long time.

• Refuelling has not been performed for

a long time.

General information

NOTE

Depending  on  the  usage  of  the  vehicle,  the
engine  may  not  start  for  a  long  period  of
time and unused fuel will remain in the fuel
tank.  Fuel  can  deteriorate  over  time,  which
can  adversely  affect  the  engine  and/or  the
fuel system.
If the vehicle is not refueled with more than
15  litres  at  least  once  every  3  months,  the
engine  will  automatically  start,  while  the
ready  indicator  is  illuminated,  to  help  pre-
vent  deterioration  of  the  fuel.  At  that  time,
charging  of  the  drive  battery  will  start  and
the battery charge mode display will appear
on the information screen in the multi infor-
mation display. The charging will stop, how-
ever, before the drive battery is fully charg-
ed.
The engine may also start even while the EV
drive mode is selected or the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
To stop the engine from starting automatical-
ly when the vehicle is operated on the drive
battery power only for a long time, start the
engine  and  drive  the  vehicle  enough  to  re-
duce  the  fuel  level  to  approximately  half
tank. Refill the fuel tank with at least 15 li-
tres of unleaded petrol.

Refueling (gasoline)

E00203800073

CAUTION

If the warning display appears, refuel imme-
diately.
If  the  vehicle  runs  out  of  fuel,  the  engine
will  not  start  even  in  a  situation  need  to  be
generated  electricity,  the  following  condi-
tions will occur.

•

The driving performance falls (since only
the electrical power stored in the drive
battery can be used for the driving).

•

The heating performance is not available
(except vehicles with electric heater).

•

The effectiveness of the heater is insuffi-
cient (vehicles with electric heater).

•

The catalytic converter may be damaged
due to excessive high temperature.

Refer to “Filling the fuel tank” on page
2-15.
Refer to “Fuel remaining display screen” on
page 6-11.

CAUTION

The  fuel  in  the  fuel  tank  may  not  be  con-
sumed  and  it  may  stagnate  for  a  long  time
depending  on  the  use  situation  of  the  vehi-
cle,  the  quality  of  fuel  may  change,  and  it
may  have  a  bad  influence  on  the  engine  or
the parts of a fuel system.
Observe  the  following  instructions  for  pre-
vention.

•

General information

Drive battery

E00205000066

WARNING

A sealed lithium ion high voltage battery
(drive battery) is adopted for OUTLAND-
ER PHEV. If the drive battery is disposed
of improperly, there is a risk of severe
burns and electrical shock that may result
in serious injury or death and there is also
a risk of environmental damage.

Never attempt to use the drive battery for
any other purpose.

It 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.

Compact, light-weight lithium ion bat-
tery with high energy density is used for
the drive battery.

The drive battery has the following char-
acteristics.
Please read this carefully paying atten-
tion to the following:

Characteristics

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.

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.

When  the  ambient  temperature  lowers,
the  engine  will  start  frequently,  even  if
there  remains  much  power  in  the  drive
battery.

Because the engine starts frequently, the
fuel consumption will increase.

The battery is gradually discharged with-
out use and the battery charge is low-
ered.

It is not necessary to consume the bat-
tery completely before charging.

Precautions for operation

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.

MITSUBISHI Motors collects drive bat-
teries. If you scrap your vehicle, please
consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.

EV cruising range

E00205100025

Even 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  battery
than  usual,  the  EV  cruising  range  is
shortened.

Drive battery

2-05

OGGE19E1

General information

Since  the  air  conditioning  (cooling  or
heating)  consumes  power  of  the  drive
battery,  its  operation  results  in  a  shorter
EV  cruising  range.  Maintain  an  appro-
priate temperature.

Put  the  selector  lever  to  “B”  (BRAKE)
position according to the road condition.
To  charge  the  drive  battery  with  appro-
priate  use  of  the  regenerative  brake,  it
can be increased the EV cruising range.

Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System (AVAS)

E00205200042

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.
Refer  to  “Acoustic  Vehicle  Alerting  System
(AVAS)” on page 7-32.

WARNING

Even if the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys-
tem  (AVAS)  sounds,  pay  special  attention
to pedestrians.
Pedestrians  may  not  notice  the  oncoming
vehicle,  which  may  cause  an  accident  re-
sulting  in  serious  personal  injury  or
death.

Operating sound under
charging or Remote Climate
Control

E00205700050

Even  if  the  operation  mode  of  the  power
switch  is  OFF,  you  may  hear  an  operating
sound such as the cooling fan for cooling the
drive  battery  during  charging,  the  air  condi-
tioning  compressor  and  for  remote  climate
control (if so equipped).
This is not a malfunction.
Refer to “MITSUBISHI Remote control: Re-
mote Climate Control” on page 3-20.

In case of a collision

E00205300085

A crash or impact significant enough to re-
quire an emergency response for convention-
al vehicles would also require the same re-
sponse for Outlander PHEV.

Also follow the instructions described below
to avoid severe burns and electrical shock
that may result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

If your vehicle is drivable, pull your vehi-
cle off the road to a safe, nearby location
and remain on the scene.
Also,  if  possible,  do  the  following  opera-
tions  and  stay  out  of  the  way  of  any  on-
coming  traffic  while  awaiting  the  arrival
of emergency responders.

•

Apply chocks to the wheels.

•

Put the select position in “P” (PARK)
position.

•

Apply the parking brake.

•

Open the windows, doors and tailgate.

•

Put the operation mode in OFF.

•

Turn on the hazard warning flashers.

•

Move the key away from the vehicle to
prevent unintended start-up of the sys-
tem by inadvertent contact with a
switch or impact from the crash.

Never  touch  high-voltage  wiring,  connec-
tors, and other high-voltage parts, such as
the  inverter  unit  and  drive  battery.  An
electric  shock  may  occur  if  exposed  elec-
tric  wires  are  visible  when  viewed  from
inside or outside of your vehicle. For their
locations,  see  “High-voltage  components”
on page 2-08.

If the vehicle receives a strong impact to
the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in
a safe place and check the floor.

General information

WARNING

Never 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.

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.

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.

WARNING

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 require
large,  sustained  volumes  of  water  for  ex-
tinguishment.  Using  a  small  amount  of
water  or  the  incorrect  fire  extinguisher
can result in serious injury or death from
electrical shock.

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.

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.

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.

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.

WARNING

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.

Do not attempt to repair a damaged Plu-
gin Hybrid vehicle by yourself. Please
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point for service.

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  experience
battery capacity loss.
A  damaged  drive  battery  can  also  pose
safety  risks  to  untrained  mechanics  and
repair personnel.

NOTE

The emergency shut-off system will be acti-
vated and the high-voltage system will auto-
matically turn off under the following condi-
tions:

rear seat. Improper handling of this could
cause  an  electric  shock  which  result  in  a
serious  injury  or  death.  The  service  plug
is  used  to  shut  off  the  high  voltage  from
the drive battery when repairing the vehi-
cle at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.

WARNING

The Plug-in Hybrid EV System uses high
voltage up to DC 300 volt. The system can
be hot during and after starting and when
the  vehicle  is  shut  off.  Be  careful  of  both
the  high  voltage  and  the  high  tempera-
ture.  Follow  the  warning  labels  that  are
attached to the vehicle.

Always assume the high voltage battery
and associated components are energized
and fully charged.

Never  perform  servicing  when  READY
indicator  is  illuminating  or  when  the
charging  indicator  is  illuminating  or
flashing  because  the  high-voltage  system
is operating.

WARNING

Before normal charging

•

Before you perform charging work, ask the manufacturer of your electro-medical apparatus about the effect from charging work. Charging may
affect the operation of your electro-medical apparatus.
Refer to “Normal charging (charging method with rated AC 220-240V outlet)” on page 3-10.
Refer to “Quick charging (charging method with quick charger)” on page 3-17.

When the normal charging

•

Observe the following precautions for normal charging.

•

During charging, do not close the implantation portion of electro-medical apparatus such as implantable cardiac pacemaker or implantable
cardioverter defibrillator to the charge connector, EV charging cable, control box and normal charging station.

•

Do not stay inside the vehicle.

•

Do not get in the vehicle (including the luggage compartment) to take out something or for other purposes.

Refer to “Normal charging (charging method with rated AC 220-240V outlet)” on page 3-10.

Do not perform quick charging and keep away from a quick charger

•

Please observe the following precautions.
There is a possibility that electromagnetic waves affect the operation of the electro-medical apparatus.

•

Please do not use a quick charger.

•

Keep away as much as possible from the place where the quick charger is stored.
If you approach it carelessly, leave quickly without standing still.

•

Please ask someone to perform the quick charging if necessary.

Refer to “Quick charging (charging method with quick charger)” on page 3-17.

Do not bring your body close to the foot area of the rear seat and do not stay in the luggage compartment while the vehicle is running. Also, do not
allow persons using an electro-medical apparatus to stay in the luggage compartment while the vehicle is running. The operation of electro-medical
apparatus may be affected.

When using the keyless operation system, please observe following precautions.

•

People with implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators should not go near the exterior transmitters (A) or the
interior transmitters. The radio waves used by the keyless operation system could adversely affect implantable cardiac pacemakers or implanta-
ble cardiovascular-defibrillators.

•

When using electro-medical devices other than implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators, contact the electro-
medical device manufacturer ahead of time to determine the affects of radio waves on the devices. Electromedical device operations could be
adverse effect by radio waves. Refer to “Keyless operation system” on page 4-06.
