Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS)
2-6 General information

 Since the air conditioning (cooling or
heating) consumes power of the drive bat-
tery, its operation results in a shorter EV
cruising range. Maintain an appropriate
temperature.
 Put the selector lever to “B” (BRAKE)
position according to the road condition.
To charge the drive battery with appropri-
ate use of the regenerative brake, it can be
increased the EV cruising range.

The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
(AVAS) is 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 or less and the engine is not
running.
Refer to “Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
(AVAS)” on page 7-34.

Even if the operation mode of the power
switch is OFF, you may hear operating
sounds such as sounds from the cooling fan
and air conditioning compressor when operat-
ing the drive battery cooling system or
remote climate control.
But this is not a malfunction.
Refer to “MITSUBISHI Remote Control” on
page 3-20.

A crash or impact significant enough to
require an emergency response for conven-
tional 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.

In case of a collision
WARNING
 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
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 sys-
tem by inadvertent contact with a switch
or impact from the crash.
 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 2-8.

If the vehicle receives a strong impact to
the floor while driving, stop the vehicle in
a safe place and check the floor.
