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: Fuel saving tips 1. 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.
. Turn off the air conditioning when it’s not needed. 9. 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. 10. Familiarise yourself with the car’s hybrid information display so you can monitor how much energy is being used. 7.
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.
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.
