4 A few tips to get you started! Congratulations on purchasing your new Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle! Here are a few important things you need to know: 1. We ve supplied you with charging hooks for you to secure directly beside your dedicated charging outlet. Simply peel off the backing strip and stick to a dry, clean surface. When charging, simply hang the control box and the charging cable on the hooks. 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. 3. Your vehicle takes 91 unleaded fuel. 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 itunes and search Outlander PHEV or visit mmnz.co.nz/plug-in-hybrid (applies to VRX model only) 6. Have your Outlander serviced only by an authorised Mitsubishi Motors dealer. For a list of dealers visit mmnz.co.nz/dealers-and-service. Fuel saving tips These fuel saving tips will help you get the most out your Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle. 1. Keep the battery charged by plugging into the mains powerpoint. This will ensure you use as much electricity and as little petrol as possible. It will also help maximize your Electric Vehicle driving range. Recharging a partially charged battery will not degrade the battery s storage capacity, so when possible plug in the vehicle. 2. To take maximum advantage of owning the Outlander Plug- In Hybrid be sure to set your charge times to when electricity power rates are at their lowest. Check with your electricity provider for your Off-Peak details. 3. Before driving, warm or cool the car while it is still connected to the house power supply. This will reduce the power drain on the battery and maximise your Electric Vehicle range. On VRX models you can use the app to do this remotely. 4. Use the seat heaters to warm you up as they use less battery power than the car heater (VRX model). 2

5 5. Turn off the air conditioning when it s not needed. 6. Use Economy Mode. This maximizes the vehicle s fuel economy. It s activated by pressing the ECO button. The Economy Mode limits other aspects of the vehicle s performance, such as acceleration rate and airconditioning, to save fuel. 9. Use 4WD Lock Mode only when additional traction or stability is required. 10. Familiarise yourself with the car s hybrid information display so you can monitor how much energy is being used. 7. When accelerating keep the Power needle in the green range so that (depending on battery level) the petrol engine does not start. 8. Avoid hard braking. Braking gently or moderately allows the 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 (LH) paddle increases the amount of regenerative braking and thus the braking force. This action also reduces wear to the braking system components. 3

6 Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system What is the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system? In Electric Vehicle Drive Mode, the vehicle is driven only by the electric motors, just like an electric vehicle, up to a certain distance, using the electricity stored in the battery. When the battery charge is low or when powerful acceleration is needed, the vehicle operates in Series Hybrid Mode. In high-speed driving, the vehicle is driven by the engine in Parallel Hybrid Mode. The high-performance electric motors greatly reduce noise and vibration while driving and provide powerful acceleration. The regenerative braking system automatically starts to charge the battery when the accelerator pedal is released. Electric Vehicle EV Drive Mode The vehicle is driven only by the motors, using electricity stored in the battery. Series Hybrid Mode When the battery level is low, or during rapid acceleration or hill climbing, the vehicle is driven only by the motors using petrol engine-generated electricity. Parallel Hybrid Mode In high-speed driving, when the engine runs efficiently, the vehicle is driven by the engine and is assisted by the motors when necessary. MULTI DISPLAY METER In each case, the flow of energy is displayed on the instrument cluster and/or centre display. 4

7 Regenerative Braking system Similar to engine braking on engine-powered vehicles, the electric motors act as generators when the accelerator pedal is released or the brake pedal is depressed while driving. In this way, kinetic energy is converted into electric energy, which is then used to charge the battery. The flow of energy during regenerative braking is displayed on the instrument cluster. The intensity of regenerative braking can be selected from two levels, using the gear selector lever. Using the paddles, the intensity can be selected from six levels.* * Lightly touching the brake pedal when in regenerative mode will increase the regenerative effort rather than wasting the kinetic energy into brake heat and wear to brake components. 5
