Congratulations on purchasing your new Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle!
Here’s a list of a few important things you need to know:
Contents
1.
We’ve supplied you with a charging hook which secures
directly beside your dedicated charging outlet. Simply
peel the backing strip away and stick to a dry, clean
surface. When charging, simply hang the control box of
the charging cable on the hook.
2.
When you get home, make sure you plug-in your
Outlander and set to charge overnight to take advantage
of off-peak electricity rates after 11pm. You can check
the remaining time until fully charged on the instrument
centre display panel.
Fuel saving tips
We’ve also put together some top fuel saving tips to help you get the most out your Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle.
1.
Keep the Battery Charged: Keeping the battery
charged ensures that you will use as much
electricity and as little petrol as possible, saving
you fuel and money. It will also help to maximize
your Electric Vehicle driving range.
2.
Off-Peak Charging: To take maximum advantage
of owning the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid be
sure to set your charge times to when electric
power rates are at their lowest. Check with your
electricity provider for your ‘Off-Peak’ details.
3.
Warm up or cool the car down before driving
while the car is still connected to the house
power supply. This will reduce the power drain on
the battery when you start driving and maximise
your Electric Vehicle range.
4.
Use the seat heaters to warm you up as they use
less battery power than the car heater.
5.
Turn the air conditioning off when not needed.
6.
Use Economy Mode: This mode maximizes the vehicle’s fuel
economy and can be activated by simply pressing the ‘ECO’ button.
The economy mode limits other aspects of the vehicle’s performance,
such as acceleration rate and air-conditioning to save fuel.
7.
Accelerate keeping the ‘Power’ needle in the green range and the
petrol engine will not start.
8.
Avoid Hard Braking: Anticipate stopping and brake gently or
moderately. This allows the vehicle’s regenerative braking system
to recover energy from the vehicle’s forward motion and store it as
electricity. Hard braking causes the vehicle to use its conventional
friction brakes, which do not recover energy. When using regenerative
braking, the ‘negative’ paddle increases the amount of regenerative
braking and therefore increases the braking force on the vehicle.
9.
Only use 4WD Lock Mode when additional traction or stability is
required.
10.
Display Screens: Familiarise yourself with the car’s hybrid information
display so you can monitor how much energy is being used.
3.
Your vehicle takes 91 unleaded fuel, available at any
service station.
4.
Your first service is at 1,500km or within one month.
But don’t worry if you forget, we’ll be in contact to
remind you!
5.
To download your Smartphone application, simply visit
Google play or apple app store and search ‘Outlander
PHEV’.
6.
Only have your Outlander serviced by a recognised
Mitsubishi Motors dealer, for a list of dealers visit
