CAUTION
l
The fuel in the fuel tank may not be con-
sumed and it may stagnate for a long time
depending on the use situation of the vehi-
cle, the quality of fuel may change, and it
may have a bad influence on the engine or
the parts of a fuel system.
Observe the following instructions for pre-
vention.
•
Press the battery charge switch to start the
engine within three months at once.
Refer to “Battery charge switch” on page
7-22.
•
Refill the fuel more than 15 litres at once
within three months. If the fuel remaining
display will be below half, you can refill
the fuel more than 15 litres certainly.

Drive battery
E00205000024
WARNING
l
A sealed lithium ion high voltage battery
(drive battery) is adopted for Outlander
PHEV. If the drive battery is disposed of
improperly, there is a risk of severe burns
and electrical shock that may result in se-
rious injury or death and there is also a
risk of environmental damage.
l
Never attempt to use the drive battery for
any other purpose.
l
It is the battery to operate the motor and
the air conditioning.
In addition to the drive battery, Outland-
er PHEV has the auxiliary battery to op-
erate lamps, wipers, etc.
l
Compact, light-weight lithium ion bat-
tery with high energy density is used for
the drive battery.
l
The drive battery has the following char-
acteristics.
Please read this carefully paying atten-
tion to the following:
Characteristics
l
The same as ordinary lithium-ion batter-
ies, the battery capacity of the drive bat-
tery gradually reduces with time, result-
ing in reduced cruising range. Depend-
ing on the usage conditions, such as fre-
quent quick acceleration/deceleration,
extremely hot weather, storing the vehi-
cle in high ambient temperatures, etc.,
the rate of battery capacity drop will in-
crease.
l
The performance may be changed due to
the outside temperature.
At low temperature, in particular, the EV
cruising range is short and the charging
time is long, compared to operation at
normal temperature.
l
The battery is gradually discharged with-
out use and the battery charge is low-
ered.
l
It is not necessary to consume the bat-
tery completely before charging.
Precautions for operation
l
If your vehicle is not used for a long
time, check the drive battery level dis-
play every 3 months.
If the drive battery level display shows
0, charge the battery until some indica-
tion appears. Alternately, put the opera-
tion mode of the power switch in “ON”
to start the engine automatically, wait for
the engine to stop automatically, then
put the operation mode of the power
switch in “OFF”.
