Main features
It is operated as an electric vehicle in the EV
drive mode using the electrical power stored
in the drive battery,*1 according to the remaining amount of the drive battery. It is also
automatic control*2 for driving in series hybrid mode or parallel hybrid mode using engine 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
l
and vibration during driving is minimized and powerful acceleration can also be obtained.
With the regenerative brake, the drive
l
battery is automatically charged when
the accelerator is released.
*1
If there is a remaining amount in the drive
battery, it is actively driven in the EV
drive mode. The cruising range varies depending on the remaining charge in the
drive battery, vehicle speed, and air conditioner operating conditions.
*2
You can adjust the timing to switch to the
EV drive mode by using the battery save
mode switch. Refer to “Battery save mode
switch” on page 7-27.

E00203600143
The vehicle can be charged from EV
l
charge power outlets (rated AC
220-240 V).
Quick charging using CHAdeMO quick
l
charger (if so equipped) is available.
CHAdeMO is a standard for quick
charging of electric vehicles originally
started in Japan, and the contents have
also become international standard.
EV drive mode
The vehicle is driven by the motors us-
l
ing only electrical power stored in the
drive battery. However, EV drive mode
is cancelled depending on the drive battery level, vehicle speed, and air conditioner operating conditions. Pay attention to the following points:
• Check the EV cruising range in the information screen. Refer to “EV cruising range display/Total cruising range
display” on page 6-14.
• Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds
avoiding quick acceleration/deceleration. Repeated quick acceleration/
deceleration causes the drive battery
level to decrease quickly, which extremely reduces the EV cruising
range.
OGGE17E1
If you want to drive the vehicle without
l
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-
l
ing only the electricity generated by the
engine. This mode is used when the
drive battery level is low, at quick acceleration, or when power is required like
climbing uphill.
NOTE
While driving the Series hybrid mode, the
l
engine malfunction diagnostic system may
operate.
If this system operates, the engine sound will
decrease. This does not indicate a malfunction.
Parallel hybrid mode
The vehicle is driven by the power of the
l
engine, assisted by motors. This mode is
used during high-speed driving with better engine efficiency.

Regenerative braking
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.
If you lift your foot off the accelerator
l
pedal during driving, a braking force that
is equivalent to engine braking of a combustion engine vehicle will be generated.
Also, if you shift the select position into
“B” (BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), effectiveness 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
l
regenerative braking force may be increased.
If a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid
l
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.
When stronger regenerative braking is
l
generated, the stop lamps will illuminate
even when the brake pedal is not depressed.
Operation of gasoline engine
Even when the vehicle is driving in EV
l
drive mode, it may be automatically
changed to series hybrid mode or parallel hybrid mode in the following cases:
• The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• Quick acceleration is applied.
E00203700098
• 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 automatically changed to series or parallel hybrid
mode.
Even while the vehicle is stopped, the
l
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.

Drive battery
NOTE
Depending on the usage of the vehicle, the
l
2
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 prevent 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 information display. The charging will stop, however, before the drive battery is fully charged.
The engine may also start even while the EV
drive mode is selected or the vehicle is stationary.
To stop the engine from starting automatically when the vehicle is operated on the
drive battery power only for a long time,
start the engine and drive the vehicle enough
to reduce the fuel level to approximately half
tank. Refill the fuel tank with at least 15 litres of unleaded petrol.
Refueling (gasoline)
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 conditions 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 6-10.
E00203800060
CAUTION
The fuel in the fuel tank may not be con-
l
sumed and it may stagnate for a long time
depending on the use situation of the vehicle, 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 prevention.
Press the battery charge mode switch to
•
start the engine within 3 months at once.
Refer to “Battery charge mode switch” on
page 7-28.
Refill the fuel more than 15 litres at once
•
within 3 months. If the fuel remaining display will be below half, you can refill the
fuel more than 15 litres certainly.
Refer to “Fuel remaining display screen”
on page 6-10.
Drive battery
WARNING
A sealed lithium ion high voltage battery
l
(drive battery) is adopted for OUTLANDER 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
l
any other purpose.

EV cruising range
It is the battery to operate the motor and
l
the air conditioning.
In addition to the drive battery, OUTLANDER PHEV has the auxiliary battery to operate lamps, wipers, etc.
Compact, light-weight lithium ion bat-
l
tery with high energy density is used for
the drive battery.
The drive battery has the following char-
l
acteristics.
Please read this carefully paying attention to the following:
Characteristics
The same as ordinary lithium-ion batter-
l
ies, the battery capacity of the drive battery gradually reduces with time. As the
drive battery capacity decreases, the initial EV cruising range and the vehicle
performance will similarly decrease.
Depending on the usage conditions, such
as frequent quick acceleration/deceleration, 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
l
the ambient temperature.
At low ambient temperature, in particular, the EV cruising range is short and
the charging time is long, compared to
operation at normal temperature. Also,
charging may be stopped before complete charging.
When the ambient temperature lowers,
l
the engine will start frequently, even if
there remains much power in the drive
battery.
Because the engine starts frequently, the
l
fuel consumption will increase.
The battery is gradually discharged with-
l
out use and the battery charge is lowered.
It is not necessary to consume the bat-
l
tery completely before charging.
Precautions for operation
If your vehicle is not used for a long
l
time, check the drive battery level display every 3 months.
If the drive battery level display shows
0, charge the battery until some indication 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-
l
teries. If you scrap your vehicle, please
consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
EV cruising range
Even if the charge level is the same, the
l
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.
