WARNING
• Do not open the tailgate, for example to
remove or place an item in the cargo
area.
Charging may affect the operation of elec-
tric medical devices and result in serious
personal injury or death.
l Do not charge when the EV charging ca-
ble is coiled up.
Doing so the cable may be heated and this
might result in fire.
l Before charging, make sure that there is
no foreign matter such as dust at the nor-
mal charge port and the normal charge
connector.
At this time, do not touch the normal
charge port.
l When the normal charge connector is
connected to the charge port, prevent for-
eign matter such as water or dust from
entering in the connection.
Connection with foreign matter such as
water or dust may cause fire or an electric
shock. Do not perform charging if there
might be strong exposure to water at the
connection.
l Never pull the cable to remove the plug.
And never submerge the EV charging
connector, control box or plug in water.
l Please observe the following in order to
prevent accidents during charging such as
electrocution.
• Only use the EV charging cable that is
supplied with the vehicle.
WARNING
• Do not charge another vehicle by the
EV charging cable. The cable may
overheat and this may result in a fire.
• When charging outdoors, make sure to
use an outlet that is protected from wa-
ter entering.
• Do not perform charging with the vehi-
cle coverd by a car cover, except for the
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
car cover.
• Do not connect or disconnect the plug
and connector with wet hands.
l While it is normal for the connector and
charging cable to become warm during
charging, discontinue use immediately if
the connector or charging cable becomes
hot to the touch.
l While it is normal for the control box to
become warm during charging, discontin-
ue use immediately if the control box be-
comes hot to the touch.
l If abnormal smells are detected or the ve-
hicle produces smoke, quickly stop charg-
ing.
l Do not perform charging in a poorly ven-
tilated area or in an enclosed area. Keep
sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from
the auxiliary battery.
Flammable gas generated from the auxili-
ary battery during charging may be trap-
ped, resulting in explosion.
If charging is inevitably required, venti-
late the area well.
WARNING
l Grasp the normal charge connector when
connecting or disconnecting the EV
charging cable.
Grasping the cable may damage the cable
and could cause an electric shock, short
circuit, and/or fire.
CAUTION
l During charging, the cooling fans inside the
engine compartment may automatically be
operated even if the operation mode of the
power switch is in OFF.
Keep your hands away from the cooling fan
during charging.
l Do not perform charging from other power
source like a generator. Doing so could
cause a malfunction.
NOTE
l
If the charge connector is not easily connec-
ted to the charge port due to foreign material
entering, never force the connection. Doing
so could damage the charging equipment or
the vehicle. Please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
