WARNING  
CAUTION  
To 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.  
It is possible to charge even in rain or  
snow. However, be sure to pay attention to  
the following:  
If water goes into the normal charge port  
or the normal charge connector, it could  
cause 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.  
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.

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.  
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.  
NOTE  
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 the  
operation mode in OFF, the buzzer stops.  
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.  
Repeatedly performing only quick charging  
may reduce the battery capacity.  
In usual charge, normal charging is recom-  
mended.
