Normal Charging (Charging Method With Rated Ac 120 V Outlet) - Mitsubishi MOTORS Outlander PHEV 2018 Owner's Manual

Normal charging (charging method with rated AC 120 V outlet)

CAUTION
• Do not place the charging equipment close
to a heater or other heat source.
3  Make sure the inner lid is closed on the
charge port when charging is finished. If the
charging lid is closed when the inner lid is
open, water or foreign materials may enter
the charge port.
 When charging, do not use a car cover except
for the Mitsubishi Motors genuine car cover.
 Do not attempt to perform a jump start on the
12 V starter battery at the same time that the
main drive lithium-ion battery is being
charged. Doing so may damage the vehicle
or EV charging cable and could cause an
injury. See "Jump-starting" in the "6. For
emergency" section.
 Forcing the charge connector to connect may
cause damage to the charging equipment and
vehicle.
NOTE
 If the charging lid is opened with the opera-
tion mode of the power switch in ON, a
buzzer will intermittently sound for approxi-
mately 10 minutes to alert that charging has
been disabled. When the charging lid is
closed or the operation mode is put in OFF,
the buzzer will stop.
3-20 General information/Charging
NOTE
 If a charge connector is connected to the
charge port with the operation mode of the
power switch in ON, a buzzer will continu-
ously sound for approximately 10 minutes to
alert that charging has been disabled. When
the charge connector is detached from the
charge connector or the operation mode of
the power switch is put in OFF, the buzzer
will stop.
 Repeatedly performing only quick charging
can reduce the main drive lithium-ion battery
capacity. Normal charging is recommended
unless quick charging is necessary.
 While charging, even if the operation mode
of the power switch is OFF, you may hear
operating sounds from the cooling fan and
air conditioning compressor when operating
the main drive lithium-ion battery cooling
system or Remote Climate Control. This is
normal.
Refer to "MITSUBISHI Remote Control" on
page 3-42.
NOTE
 If your vehicle is not used for a long time,
check the gauge of the main drive lithium-
ion battery level display at least once every 3
months.
If the gauge of the main drive lithium-ion
battery level display in the multi-information
display indicates that the battery level is
completely empty, charge the main drive
lithium-ion battery until an indication
appears in the gauge. Refer to "Multi-infor-
mation display on page 5-129. Alternatively,
start the Plug-in Hybrid EV System. Then
the engine will automatically start to charge
the main drive lithium-ion battery. Wait until
the engine automatically stops, then put the
operation mode of the power switch in OFF.
 If an electrical power outage occurs while
charging, the charging will automatically
resume when the electric power resumes.
