Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (Avas) - Mitsubishi MOTORS Outlander PHEV 2018 Owner's Manual

NOTE
 At high ambient temperatures, even if the
battery charge mode is activated for a pro-
longed time, the main drive lithium-ion bat-
tery may not charge.
 The charging time close to full charge of the
main drive lithium-ion battery becomes lon-
ger depending on the condition of the main
drive lithium-ion battery, a driving condition
or a environment.
 The engine may stop near full charge.
 Using battery charge mode will increase fuel
consumption.
 Laws in some communities may prohibit
leaving the engine running while the vehicle
is stationary. Before using the battery charge
mode while the vehicle is stationary, check
local regulations.
 Check the remaining fuel level while the bat-
tery charge mode is activated, since the fuel
will be consumed.
 When the battery save mode switch or the
EV switch is pressed while driving in the
battery charge mode, the mode changes to
the selected mode.
Refer to "Battery save mode switch" on page
5-65 or "EV switch" on page 5-62.
If the battery charge mode switch is pressed,
the mode is returned to the battery charge
mode.
