l 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.
l 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.
Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System (AVAS)
E00205200042
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.
Refer to “Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
(AVAS)” on page 7-29.
WARNING
l 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.
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 condi-
tioning compressor and for remote climate
control (if so equipped).
This is not a malfunction.
Refer to “MITSUBISHI Remote control: Re-
mote Climate Control” on page 3-24.
In case of a collision
E00205300030
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.
WARNING
l If your vehicle is drivable, pull your vehi-
cle off the road to a safe, nearby location
and remain on the scene.
Also, if possible, do the following opera-
tions and stay out of the way of any on-
coming 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 sys-
tem by inadvertent contact with a
switch or impact from the crash.
l
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.
