Plug-in Hybrid EV System

Main features

It is operated as an electric vehicle in the EV

drive mode using the electrical power stored

in the drive battery,^*1according to the re-

maining amount of the drive battery. It is also

automatic control^*2for 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.

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.

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.

l

2

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.

l

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 6-14.

• 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.

l

With the high performance motor, noise

and vibration during driving is mini-

mized and powerful acceleration can al-

so be obtained.

l

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.

l

With the regenerative brake, the drive

battery is automatically charged when

the accelerator is released.

l

^*1If 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.

^*2You can adjust the timing to switch to the

EV drive mode by using the save mode.

Refer to “SAVE/CHARGE mode switch”

on page 7-27. Refer to “Battery save

mode” on page 7-28.

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.

Plug-in Hybrid EV System

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.

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.

Operation of gasoline engine

Regenerative braking

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.

l

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.

• Quick acceleration is applied.

• The air conditioner is operating.

• The accelerator pedal is depressed

hard on an uphill road or expressway.

• In cold weather.

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.

l

• 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.

Refueling (gasoline)

NOTE

CAUTION

Depending on the usage of the vehicle, the

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.

l

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.

CAUTION

If the warning display appears, refuel imme-

l

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.

Observe the following instructions for pre-

vention.

Start the engine more than once every 3

months by activating the battery charge

mode.

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.

•

Refill the fuel more than 15 litres at once

within 3 months. If the fuel remaining dis-

play will be below half, you can refill the

fuel more than 15 litres certainly.

Drive battery

WARNING

A sealed lithium ion high voltage battery

l

(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.

General information

OGGE20E1

EV cruising range

The performance may be changed due to

the ambient temperature.

l

Precautions for operation

WARNING

Never attempt to use the drive battery for

any other purpose.

l

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.

If your vehicle is not used for a long

time, check the drive battery level dis-

play every 3 months.

l

2

It is the battery to operate the motor and

the air conditioning.

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.

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:

l

MITSUBISHI Motors collects drive bat-

teries. If you scrap your vehicle, please

consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-

thorized Service Point.

l

It is not necessary to consume the bat-

tery completely before charging.

l

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.

l

EV cruising range

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.

l

General information

OGGE20E1

Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS)

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.

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.

l

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.

In case of a collision

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.

Refer to “Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System

(AVAS)” on page 7-31.

If the vehicle receives a strong impact to

the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in

a safe place and check the floor.

l

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.

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.

In case of a collision

WARNING

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.

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.

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.

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.

To warm up the drive battery, you need to register your wireless LAN device (which conforms to IEEE 802.11 b and iOS or Android) to your vehicle by

MITSUBISHI Remote Control (if so equipped).

If the information of “ ” mark on the wireless LAN device is displayed, connect the EV charging cable as soon as possible. Refer to “MITSUBISHI

Remote Control” on page 3-20.

When warming the drive battery with the drive battery warming system (if so equipped), use the EV charging cable. When using a home charging device or

a public charging device (EVSE: Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment), charging and warm-up of the drive battery may be stopped. If this happens, disconnect

the charge connector and insert the charge connector again.

l

Accordingly, the drive battery warming system will be reactivated and you can start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system within 1 hour.

The drive battery warming system may not be activated depending on the situation.

l

While warming up the drive battery, the following phenomena may occur.

The operation sound of on board equipment and the state of charge is displayed on the multi-information display.

Refer to “Charging from rated AC 220-240 V outlet” on page 3-12.

Filling the fuel tank

The petrol engine is compatible with E5 type

petrol (containing 5 % ethanol) and E10 type

petrol (containing 10 % ethanol) conforming

to European standards EN 228.

NOTE

WARNING

Poor quality petrol can cause problems such

as difficult starting, stalling, engine noise

and hesitation. If you 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 possible

at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized

Service Point.

Perform the whole refueling process

(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-

ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not

let any other person come near the fuel

tank filler. If you allowed a person to help

you and that person was carrying static

electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited.

Do not perform charging and refueling at

the same time. If you charged with static

electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited by

the discharge spark.

Do not move away from the fuel tank fill-

er until refueling is finished. If you moved

away and did something else (for exam-

ple, sitting on a seat) part-way through

the refueling process, you could pick up a

fresh charge of static electricity.

Modification/alterations to the electrical or fuel systems

When installing the radio, for the re-

quired information (frequency, transmis-

sion output, installing procedure), con-

sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-

ized Service Point.

If the frequency, transmission output and

installing condition are not appropriate,

it can adversely affect the electronic de-

vices and could lead to unsafe vehicle

operation.

Using a cellular phone or radio set inside

the vehicle without an external antenna

may cause electrical system interference,

which could lead to unsafe vehicle oper-

ation.

Tyres and wheels which do not meet

specifications must not be used.

Refer to the “Specifications” section for

information regarding wheel and tyre

sizes.

Even when such parts are officially author-

ized, for example by a “general operators per-

mit” (an appraisal for the part) or through the

execution of the part in an officially approved

manner of construction, or when a single op-

eration permit following the attachment or in-

stallation of such parts, it cannot be deduced

from that alone, that the driving safety of

your vehicles has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists no li-

ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi-

cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured

with parts recommended, sold and fitted or

installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS au-

thorized Service Point (MITSUBISHI

MOTORS GENUINE replacement parts and

MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories). The

same also pertains to modifications of vehi-

cles with respect to the production specifica-

tions. For safety reasons, do not attempt any
