The PHEV system fitted to the Outlander PHEV is one of the most advanced available today. It
utilises three distinct driving modes that are automatically selected depending on the driving
conditions and the battery charge level. The changes between modes are virtually seamless, so the
instrument cluster in front of the driver includes a display showing when each mode is engaged and
the flow of energy.
WHAT ARE THE KEY FEATURES OF THE PLUG-IN HYBRID EV SYSTEM?
EV DRIVE MODE
The vehicle is driven purely by the electric motors using the electricity
stored in the drive battery. The driver display uses an arrow to indicate
the flow of energy from the battery to the motors.
SERIES HYBRID MODE
When the drive battery level is low or when powerful thrust is required
during rapid acceleration, the battery is supplemented with electricity
generated by the petrol engine. The flow of energy in Series Hybrid
mode is displayed on the instrument cluster.
PARALLEL HYBRID MODE
During high-speed driving the petrol engine operates more ef ficiently
than pure electric power, so the front wheels are driven directly by the
engine and assisted by the electric motors. The arrow on the display
changes colour to indicate that the petrol engine is directly connec ted
to the wheels.
PLUG-IN HYBRID EV SYSTEM
REGENERATIVE BRAKE SYSTEM
Similar to engine braking on traditional vehicles, the motors act as
generators when the accelerator pedal is released while driving. Kinetic
energy produced during this process is used to charge the drive battery.
This is particularly useful while driving downhill.
PLUG-IN MAINS CONNECTION
The drive battery can be charged by the petrol motor during normal
driving, but to obtain the most efficient and cost effective performance
the drive battery should be charged from the mains supply before your
journey. Additional charging during longer journeys, though not
necessary, will improve efficiency savings even further.
The drive battery can be charged via a dedicated 240V/13 Amp socket,
or preferably a professionally fitted 240V/16 Amp charge point.
Alternatively, the bat tery can also be charged to 80% capacity in 30
minutes utilising public rapid charge points that comply with the
CHAdeMO standard.
ROLES OF MOTORS AND ENGINE IN VARIOUS MODES
The intensity of regenerative braking can be increased or reduced
through six levels using the steering column-mounted paddles, or three
levels using the joystick selector lever.
In addition to these three main drive modes, the Outlander PHEV also benefits from two other important
features that improve driving efficiency even further.

CCID CONTROL BOX SUPPORT
When charging the Outlander PHEV using the cable supplied with the
vehicle, it is very important not to leave the control box hanging
from the plug – doing so can cause damage to the cable and the control
box itself. The loop on top of the control box should be used to safely
support it s weight on a suitably positioned hook. Never use ex tension
cables or multi-plug adapters for charging your Outlander PHEV.

You cannot shift into or even if you move the selec tor to those positions while
the

OPERATING THE SELECTOR LEVER
IS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG?
If the plug-in hybrid EV system cannot be star ted, return the power switch to OFF. Wait for more than
10 seconds and then repeat the startup steps 1 to 5.
If position or cannot be selected (display not changing to or ) using the selector lever when
the
indicator is illuminated, the brake pedal may not be depressed completely. Depress the brake
pedal completely and then repeat the start-off steps 1 to 4 before selecting
or .
While driving, do not
put any object near
the selector lever. It may
accidentally push
against the selector and
move it into
.
To enter READY mode, press the power
switch while holding down the brake pedal.
To put the power switch to OFF, press the
switch once when the indicator lamp is blue
(ON) or twice when the lamp is orange
(ACC) while the brake pedal is released.

In addition to using the engine to charge the drive batter y, it can also be charged from a charging source
using one of the three methods shown below, using the dedicated charge port on the vehicle.
*
1: Charging time may vary depending on the condition of the battery, driving environment and the
specifications of the rapid charger.
*
2: EVSE = Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment.
4. Insert the plug on the normal/fast charging cable into the mains supply (Fast charging stations may have
a tethered cable).
Avoid ‘top-up’ charging when the drive bat tery is already close to fully charged – repeatedly doing so can
reduce the efficiency of the bat tery.
5. Open the cap on the charge connector. Hold
the handle of the connector and, without
pressing the but ton, insert the connector until
it clicks.
Note: D uring charging the cool ing fans under the bonn et may operate automatic ally even if the power switc h is set to OFF.
6. Switch on the power at the mains supply. The
charging indicator on the instrument cluster
should illuminate. The charging indicator goes
out when charging is completed.
2. Insert the rapid charge connector into the rapid charge port to star t charging. Follow the instructions of
the rapid charger manual for correct connec tion and disconnection of the charger.
3. The charging indicator on the instrument cluster should illuminate. The charging indicator goes out and
charging stops when an 80% charge level has been achieved.
MITSUBISHI Remote Control* enables timed charging, heating and air conditioning on your OUTLANDER
PHEV. For details, please refer to the owner’s manual or go to the following MITSUBISHI MOTORS web

Refuelling
Using the keyless operation key, you can star t or stop the plug-in hybrid
EV system if the key is located within its operation range shown on the
right.
To start the plug-in hybrid EV system, engage the handbrake, depress the brake pedal, and then press the
power switch. The READY indicator on the instrument cluster should stop blinking and
stay constantly illuminated, indicating that the startup has been completed.
To stop the plug-in hybrid EV system, stop the vehicle, press the electrical parking switch, set the selector
position to
in the instrument panel display and then press the power switch.
*
If the plug-in hybrid EV system needs to be stopped immediately in an emergency while driving, press
and hold the power switch for more than 3 seconds or press it at least three times in quick succession.
(This should not be carried out except in an emergency.)
To switch between the power modes (OFF/
ACC/ON), press the power switch without
depressing the brake pedal. The selected
power mode can be identified by the colour
of the indicator lamp on the switch. The indicator lamp on the switch
is not illuminated while the plug-in hybrid E V system is off.
If you cannot start the plug-in hybrid EV system or switch bet ween
the power modes, the keyless operation key may be in a place where
the signal is poor or the key’s battery may have run out.
Use unleaded petrol (do not use diesel fuel).
Fuelling should be conducted by single person and others
should keep away from the fuel filler opening.
Stay close to the fuel filler opening until fuelling is finished.
Slowly open the fuel cap and insert the fuel nozzle into
the fuel filler opening.
Do not attempt to refuel more after the fuel nozzle has
stopped refuelling.
Observe precautions posted at the fuel station.
OFF: L amp extingui shed
ACC: Lamp ill uminated in orang e
ON : Lamp ill uminated in blue
Fuel Lid (for refuelling)
The fuel lid is located towards the rear end of the vehicle on the left side. Pull up the lever to open the lid.
If the fuel re mains unused in your veh icle for a long time due to inf requent use of the vehic le, the quality may
degrade an d then damage the engi ne and fuel system par ts. To avoid this, do the follow ing.
