WARNING
 As the quick charge connector is heavier
in comparison to the normal charge con-
nector, allowing it to drop could cause
damage to the vehicle or charge connector
or personal injury.
CAUTION
 If the charge connector cannot easily be con-
nected to the quick charge port, do not force
the connection. Foreign material may be in
the charge connector or quick charge port, or
the charging device may not be compatible
with your vehicle. Contact a certified
Mitsubishi EV dealer.
NOTE
 Repeatedly performing only quick charging
can reduce the main drive lithium-ion battery
capacity. Normal charging is recommended
unless quick charging is necessary.
 Before using a publicly available quick char-
ger, confirm that the charger is suitable for
your vehicle.
 Make sure to lock the doors to prevent theft,
etc. during charging.
 Do not put the operation mode of the power
switch in ON during quick charging; doing
so will stop the quick charging.
Quick charging (charging method with quick charger) (if so equipped)
NOTE
 When using a quick charger, make sure that
the time available is enough so that the quick
charging can be finished in the time avail-
able.
If the power supply to the quick charger is
shut off during quick charging, it could lead
to a malfunction.
1. Open the charging lid.
Refer to "To open the charging lid" on
page 3-22.
2. Press the tab (A) to open the inner lid (B).
WARNING
 Do not touch the metal terminal of the
quick charge port (C) or the quick charge
connector.
Doing so could cause an electric shock
and/or malfunction.
CAUTION
 Be sure to insert the quick charge connector
straight into the quick charge port all the way
to the base.
Failure to do so may result in the main drive
lithium-ion battery not charging or cause
damage to the charging equipment.
 Do not leave the inner lid open for any sig-
nificant period of time without the charge
connector inserted. Foreign material, if
allowed to enter the quick charge port, can
damage the quick charge port and/or prevent
charging.
NOTE
 There is a hole on the quick charge port for
water drainage. If this hole is blocked and
water gets trapped in the quick charge port,
do not charge. Contact
Mitsubishi EV dealer.
 If the quick charge port becomes frozen, use
a hair dryer to defrost and dry it before
charging. Forcing the charging connector
into the quick charge port while it is frozen
can damage the quick charge port, and it may
prevent charging.
3. Insert the quick charge connector com-
pletely into the quick charge port to begin
charging.
