WARNING
l
To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire
due to electric leak, always use an earthed
outlet protected by a residual current de-
tector, rated for amperage equal to or
greater than the value specified by
MITSUBISHI MOTORS, and that is con-
nected to a dedicated branch circuit. If
the circuit is shared, and another electri-
cal device is being used at the same time
the vehicle is charging, the circuit may
heat abnormally, the breaker may trip
and the circuit may cause adverse inter-
ference on the household electrical appli-
ances such as TVs and audio systems.
l
It is possible to charge even in rain or
snow. However, be sure to pay attention
to the following:
•
Do not touch normal charging port,
normal charge connector, outlet and
plug with wet hands.
•
Keep away from water when connect-
ing the normal charging port, normal
charge connector, outlet and plug.
•
Do not perform the charging in the out
of doors when heavy rain, heavy snow,
strong winds, and when bad weather is
expected.
•
Do not charge if there is possibility a
lightning strike. When thunder rum-
bling begins suddenly during normal
charging, do not touch the vehicle and
the EV charging cable and turn off the
breaker.
WARNING
l
If water goes into the normal charging
port or the normal charge connector, it
could cause a short circuit, a fire and an
electric shock.
Be sure to completely close the charging
lid and the inner lid and do not leave the
EV charging cable in an outdoors.
l
If the connected part of the charging plug
has been buried in snow while charging,
turn off the hand switch or the breaker
connected with the outlet first, then re-
move the snow and disconnect the charg-
ing plug. If your vehicle body has been
buried in snow while charging, remove
the snow and then disconnect the charge
connector.
l
When you perform the normal charging
at away from home, some normal charg-
ers may not correspond to your vehicle.
Consult an administrator or a maker of
the normal charger that it corresponds to
your vehicle before using it. Also perform
normal charging according to the operat-
ing procedure indicated on the body of
normal charger.
l
Do not open the charging lid for anything
other than charging and using the exter-
nal power feed.
CAUTION
l
Do not attempt to perform a jump start on
the auxiliary battery at the same time that the
drive battery is being charged. Doing so may
damage the vehicle or charging cable and
could cause injury.
Refer to “Emergency starting” on page
9-02.
NOTE
l
If you open the charging lid with the opera-
tion mode of the power switch is ON, a buz-
zer sounds approximately 10 minutes inter-
mittently to alert the charging cannot be star-
ted. If you close the charging lid or put the
operation mode in OFF, the buzzer stops.
l
If you insert the charge connector to the
charge port with the operation mode is ON,
a buzzer sounds continuously approximately
10 minutes to alert the charging cannot be
started.
If you pull the charge connector out or put
the operation mode in OFF, the buzzer stops.
l
Repeatedly performing only quick charging
may reduce the battery capacity.
In usual charge, normal charging is recom-
mended.
l
To maintain the capacity of the drive battery,
the following is recommended:
•
If you repeatedly perform only quick
charging, fully charge the vehicle in nor-
mal charging mode every two weeks.
