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.

2-02

General information

E00203500041

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.

E00205000066

2-04

General information

OGGE17E1

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.

2

E00205100025

OGGE17E1

General information

2-05

Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS)

Since the air conditioning (cooling or

l

heating) consumes power of the drive

2

battery, its operation results in a shorter
EV cruising range. Maintain an appro­priate temperature.
Put the selector lever to “B” (BRAKE)

l

position according to the road condition.
To charge the drive battery with appro­priate use of the regenerative brake, it
can be increased the EV cruising range.

Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System (AVAS)

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 en­gine is not running.
Refer to “Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
(AVAS)” on page 7-29.

E00205200042

WARNING

Even if the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys-

l

tem (AVAS) sounds, pay special attention
to pedestrians.
Pedestrians may not notice the oncoming
vehicle, which may cause an accident re­sulting 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 condi­tioning compressor and for remote climate
control (if so equipped).
This is not a malfunction.
Refer to “MITSUBISHI Remote control: Re­mote Climate Control” on page 3-24.

In case of a collision

E00205300030

A crash or impact significant enough to re­quire an emergency response for convention­al vehicles would also require the same re­sponse 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-

l

cle off the road to a safe, nearby location
and remain on the scene.
Also, if possible, do the following opera­tions and stay out of the way of any on­coming 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 sys­tem by inadvertent contact with a
switch or impact from the crash.

Never touch high-voltage wiring, connec-

l

tors, and other high-voltage parts, such as
the inverter unit and drive battery. An
electric shock may occur if exposed elec­tric wires are visible when viewed from
inside or outside of your vehicle. For their
locations, see “High-voltage components”
on page 2-08.

In case of a collision

WARNING

If the vehicle receives a strong impact to

l

the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in
a safe place and check the floor.
Never start the plug-in hybrid EV system

l

if you found a leak of a liquid (except wa­ter of the air conditioner) while checking
the outside of the vehicle because there is
possibility the fuel system has been dam­aged 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

l

result in a fire. If you discover them, con­tact emergency services immediately.
Since the fluid leak may be lithium man­ganite from the Lithium-ion battery, nev­er touch any fluid leaking from the inside
or outside of the vehicle. If the fluid con­tacts your skin or eyes, wash it off imme­diately 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-

l

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

l

vehicle as soon as possible and contact
emergency services. Do not attempt to ex­tinguish a fire by yourself. If the fire in­volves a lithium-ion battery, it will re­quire large, sustained volumes of water
for extinguishment. 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,

l

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

l

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,

l

smoke, flames, gurgling, popping or hiss­ing noises originating from the high volt­age battery compartment, contact emer­gency services immediately. This may re­sult in a fire.
Physical damage to the vehicle or high

l

voltage battery may result in immediate
or delayed release of toxic and/or flamma­ble gases and fire.

WARNING

If your vehicle needs to be towed, trans-

l

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 elec­tric motors. This may also cause a fire, if
wiring in the electric motor unit room be­comes damaged. Refer to “Towing” on
page 9-22.
Do not attempt to repair a damaged Plu-

l

gin Hybrid vehicle by yourself. Please
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au­thorized Service Point for service.
In the event of an accident that requires

l

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.

WARNING

When handling fuel, comply with the safe-

l

ty regulations displayed by garages and
filling stations.

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and explo-

l

sive. You could be burned or seriously in­jured when handling it. When refueling
your vehicle, always put the operation
mode of the power switch in OFF and
keep away from flames, sparks, and
smoking materials. Always handle fuel in
well-ventilated outdoor areas.
Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to

l

get rid of your body’s static electricity by
touching a metal part of the car or fuel
pump. Any static electricity on your body
could create a spark that ignites fuel va­pour.
Perform the whole refueling process

l

(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov­ing 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

l

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-

l

er until refueling is finished. If you moved
away and did something else (for exam­ple, sitting on a seat) part-way through
the refueling process, you could pick up a
fresh charge of static electricity.
Be careful not to inhale fuel vapour. Fuel

l

contains toxic substances.

WARNING

Keep the doors and windows closed while

l

refueling the vehicle. If they were open,
fuel vapour could get into the cabin.
If the tank cap must be replaced, use only

l

a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.

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.

Important points!

Due to large number of accessory and re­placement parts of different manufactures
available in the market, it is not possible, not
only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS, but also
for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point, to check whether the attach­ment or installation of such parts affects the
overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.

Even when such parts are officially author­ized, for example by a “general operators
permit” (an appraisal for the part) or through
the execution of the part in an officially ap­proved manner of construction, or when a
single operation permit following the attach­ment or installation 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 li­ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi­cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or
installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS au­thorized Service Point (MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE replacement parts and
MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories). The
same also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the
production specifications. For safety reasons,
do not attempt any modifications other than
those that follow the recommendations of a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS authorized Service
Point.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire

l

due to electric leak, always use an earthed
outlet protected by a residual current de­tector, rated for amperage equal to or
greater than the value specified by
MITSUBISHI MOTORS, and that is con­nected to a dedicated branch circuit. If
the circuit is shared, and another electri­cal device is being used at the same time
the vehicle is charging, the circuit may
heat abnormally, the breaker may trip
and the circuit may cause adverse inter­ference on the household electrical appli­ances such as TVs and audio systems.
It is possible to charge even in rain or

l

snow. However, be sure to pay attention
to the following:

Do not touch normal charge port, nor-

•

mal charge connector, outlet and plug
with wet hands.
Keep away from water when connect-

•

ing the normal charge port, normal
charge connector, outlet and plug.
Do not perform the charging in the out

•

strong winds, and when bad weather is
expected.
Do not charge if there is possibility a

•

lightning strike. When thunder rum­bling begins suddenly during normal
charging, do not touch the vehicle and
the EV charging cable and turn off the
breaker.

WARNING

If water goes into the normal charge port

l

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.
If the connected part of the charging plug

l

has been buried in snow while charging,
turn off the hand switch or the breaker
connected with the outlet first, then re­move the snow and disconnect the charg­ing 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

l

at away from home, some normal charg­ers may not correspond to your vehicle.

the normal charger that it corresponds to
your vehicle before using it. Also perform
normal charging according to the operat­ing procedure indicated on the body of
normal charger.
Do not open the charging lid for anything

l

other than charging and using the exter­nal power feed.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to perform a jump start on

l

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.
Refer to “Emergency starting” on page
9-07.

NOTE

If you open the charging lid with the opera-

l

tion mode of the power switch is ON, a buz­zer sounds approximately 10 minutes inter­mittently to alert the charging cannot be star­ted. If you close the charging lid or put the
operation mode in OFF, the buzzer stops.
If you insert the charge connector to the

l

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

l

may reduce the battery capacity.

WARNING

Make sure that the plug is inserted all the

l

way into the outlet before use. If charging
is continued in the state where it is not
fully inserted the plug, there is a possibili­ty of generating abnormal heat and re­sulting in a fire.
To prevent an electric shock or fire due to

l

an electric leak, perform charging using a
waterproofed outlet with earthing which
is connected to an earth leakage circuit
breaker.
To reduce the risk of an electric shock or

l

fire due to an electric leak, always use an
outlet protected by a residual current de­tector, rated for amperage equal to or
greater than the value specified by
MITSUBISHI MOTORS, and that is con­nected to a dedicated branch circuit. If
the circuit is shared, and another electri­cal device is being used at the same time

l

used with the EV charging cable together
with other devices, the outlet may over­heat, resulting in a fire.

WARNING

Do not use a multi type outlet to prevent

l

an electric shock or fire. There is no guar­antee of safety because you cannot make
an earth connection in some multi type
outlet and it is not a dedicated type outlet.
Use an outlet for EV charging with water-

l

proofing processing installed if the instal­led position is outdoors or may get wet by
rain etc.

CAUTION

WARNING

Do not use the MITSUBISHI Remote

l

Control if children, persons in need of
care, pets, etc. are in the vehicle. Even if
the remote climate control is used, the
cabin may become hot or cold due to some
reasons such as automatic stop of the sys­tem. The cabin temperature may quickly
rise in sunshine, which poses a risk of heat
stroke and dehydration. In cold weather,
on the other hand, the cabin temperature
may quickly drop. Either of which could
lead to death in the worst case.
In addition, children can activate switches
and controls, resulting in injury or a fatal
accident.
The cooling fan in the engine compart-

l

ment may operate automatically when
charging or when operating air condition­er. Do not bring your hand close to the
cooling fan during charging.

CAUTION

Do not use a car cover except for the

l

MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE car
cover, when using the charging timer or the
remote climate control.

NOTE

Keep the following points in mind when us-

l

ing a wireless LAN device:

Communication speed and range vary de-

•

pending on the wireless LAN devices and
the surrounding conditions (radio environ­ment, obstacles, parking area environ­ment, etc.).
Due to the characteristics of radio waves,

•

communication speed tends to decrease as
the communication distance increases.
Use your wireless LAN device at a short
distance from the vehicle for better re­sponse.
When a microwave oven or ISM (indus-

•

trial, scientific and medical) equipment is
being used, the communication speed and
range of wireless LAN devices may de­crease. Use your wireless LAN device
away from these appliances and equip­ment.

NOTE

If a wireless LAN device and Bluetooth

•

(registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG,
Inc.) are used simultaneously, the com­munication speed and range of each de­vice may decrease. Use your wireless
LAN device away from Bluetooth devi­ces.

Wireless LAN devices may not communi-

l

cate with the vehicle, or may not operate
normally or stably in the following environ­ment or situations. Check that the device can
communicate with your vehicle before use.

There is an obstruction such as a concrete

•

or metal wall between the vehicle and
wireless LAN device.
The vehicle is surrounded by tall vehicles

•

in a parking lot.
There are facilities nearby that emit strong

•

radio waves, such as a TV tower, trans­former substation, broadcasting station or
airport.
There is a communication device such as

•

a mobile phone or radio, or an electric de­vice such as a personal computer near the
wireless LAN device.
The wireless LAN device is in contact

•

with or covered by a metal object.
The battery of the wireless LAN device

•

has run down.

The MITSUBISHI Remote Control cannot

l

be used under the following conditions:

The wireless LAN device is turned off.

Some charging facilities have a timer func-

l

tion that turns the power on or off at a spe­cific time of the day. When charging at a fa­cility with a timer function, make sure that
the charging timer is set within the time peri­od when the power in the charging facility is
on.
The auxiliary battery is automatically and

l

periodically charged using electrical power
stored in the drive battery. A buzzer sounds
in the cabin while the auxiliary battery is be­ing charged.
While the remote climate control is operat-

l

ing or the charging, the cooling fan or air
conditioner compressor may start operating
and its sound may be heard. This is normal.
The remote climate control operates in its

l

own mode based on the mode selected on
the wireless LAN device, regardless of the
switch setting of the vehicle’s air condition­er.

NOTE

Air conditioning performance may deterio-

l

rate or the remaining charge in the drive bat­tery may decrease under the following con­ditions:

In extremely hot weather.

•

In hot sunshine.

•

In extremely cold weather.

•

If the remote climate control is started dur-

l

ing charging, the time until full charge may
extend or the charging rate may decrease.
When the remaining quantity of the drive

l

battery is decreased, the remote climate con­trol does not operate or it may stop on the
way.
When the auxiliary battery is removed, the

l

timer control of the MITSUBISHI Remote
Control is reset and each function of the

starting the engine and otherwise operating
the vehicle, so before locking and leaving the
vehicle, be sure to check that you have the
keyless operation key.

WARNING

People with implantable cardiac pace-

l

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

WARNING

When using electro-medical devices other

l

than implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators,
contact the electromedical device manu­facturer ahead of time to determine the
affects of radio waves on the devices. Elec­tromedical device operations could be ad­versely effected by radio waves.

You can limit the possible operations of
the keyless operation system in the fol­lowing ways. (The keyless operation
system can be used as a keyless entry
system.) Please consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

• You can limit operations to locking
and unlocking the doors and tailgate.

• You can limit operations to starting
the engine.

• The keyless operation system can be
disabled.

When keyless operation system opera­tions are modified, the operating trans­mitters are as follows.

• Only locking and unlocking doors or
tailgate: exterior transmitter and inte­rior transmitters.

• Only starting the engine: interior
transmitter.

NOTE

The keyless operation key uses an ultra-

l

weak electromagnetic wave. In the following
cases, the keyless operation system may not
operate properly or may be unstable.

When there is equipment nearby that

•

emits strong radio waves, such as: a pow­er station, a radio/TV broadcasting station
or an airport.
The keyless operation system is carried

•

together with a communications device
such as a cellular phone or radio set, or
with an electronic device such as a per­sonal computer.

hit. The warning buzzer sounds once for safe­ty and the electric tailgate automatically
moves in the direction opposite to the one in
which it was operating.

CAUTION

The safety mechanism will sometimes not

l

operate depending on the condition of the
trapped object or how it is trapped. There­fore, be especially careful not to trap a hand,
part of your body or an object at this time.
The safety mechanism is cancelled just be-

l

fore the electric tailgate is fully closed to al­low it to close completely. Therefore be es­pecially careful not to trap a hand or finger
at this time.

CAUTION

The safety mechanism is deactivated when

l

the electric tailgate is closed manually.
Therefore be especially careful not to trap a
hand or finger at this time.
If the safety mechanism is repeatedly operat-

l

ed, the tailgate could be switched to manual
operation. Be careful at this time, as the
electric tailgate could open or close sudden­ly, depending on its position.
Once the electric tailgate is completely open
or closed, normal automatic operation is
again possible.

NOTE

If the environment or usage conditions sub-

l

ject the sensors to the same kind of force as
that of trapping a person or object, the safety
mechanism could be activated.
Do not damage the sensors when loading or

l

unloading luggage, or when cleaning the
rear window. Doing so could prevent the
tailgate from closing automatically.

Drop prevention mechanism

After the electric tailgate is opened automati­cally, if it is detected that the tailgate is drop­ping due to factors such as accumulated
snow, the electric tailgate is closed automati­cally.
A warning buzzer sounds continuously while
the drop prevention mechanism operates.

NOTE

If snow has accumulated on the electric tail-

l

gate, remove it before operation.
Do not install accessories other than

l

MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE parts
on the electric tailgate. Some accessories
could be too heavy, causing the drop preven­tion mechanism to operate.
The drop prevention mechanism could be

l

activated if manual operation is attempted
immediately after the electric tailgate is
completely opened automatically.

Sudden operation prevention mechanism

If the engine is started while the electric tail­gate is operating automatically, it may switch
to manual operation due to insufficient bat­tery voltage, making the electric tailgate stop
intermittently while it moves. This is to stop
the electric tailgate from operating suddenly.
When the tailgate is completely closed or
opened, automatic operation is again possible
after approximately 10 seconds.

Security alarm system*

The security alarm has four modes:

System preparation mode (ap­proximately 20 seconds)

(The buzzer sounds intermittently and the se­curity indicator (A) blinks.)

The system preparation time extends from
the point at which all of the doors and the
tailgate are locked by pressing the LOCK
switch on the remote control switch or the
keyless operation function to the point at
which the system armed mode goes into ef­fect.

During this time, it is possible to temporarily
open a door or the tailgate without using the
keyless entry system or the keyless operation
function and without causing the alarm to
sound (for example, when you forget some­thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win­dow is open).

System armed mode

(The buzzer stops and the security indicator
continues to blink with the indicator’s re­duced lit-up duration time.)
Once the system preparation mode has ended,
the system armed mode starts.
If an unlawful opening of any of the doors,
tailgate or bonnet is detected during the sys­tem armed mode, the alarm will be activated
to warn people around the vehicle of an ab­normal condition.
Also, for vehicles equipped with the interior
alarm sensor, if unlawful moving of the vehi­cle is attempted or a vehicle intrusion is de­tected, the alarm will be activated.

Alarm activation

Inside alarm (approximately 10 seconds):
The buzzer sounds, warning those inside the
vehicle of an abnormal condition.
(except for vehicles equipped with the interi­or alarm sensor)
Outside alarm (approximately 30 seconds):

The turn-signal lamps blink and the horn (the
siren for vehicles equipped with the interior
alarm sensor) sounds, warning people around
the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
Refer to “Alarm activation” on page 4-33.

NOTE

The alarm will resume if unlawful actions

l

are taken again, even if the alarm has stop­ped.

System cancellation

It is possible to cancel the system activation
during the system preparation mode or the
system armed mode.
In addition, it is possible to cancel the alarm
once it has been activated.
Refer to “Cancelling the system” on page
4-32, “Cancelling the alarm” on page 4-34.

NOTE

When lending the vehicle to another person

l

or allowing the vehicle to be driven by
someone who is unfamiliar with the security
alarm system, be sure to give the person a
proper explanation of the security alarm sys­tem.
If a person who is unfamiliar with the securi­ty alarm system accidentally unlocked the
vehicle, causing the alarm to sound, the
alarm would be a nuisance to people nearby.
