PURPOSE
In order to provide the most accurate information for new owners of the 2018 Outlander PHEV, an

Guide. This addendum (attached at the end of this TIN) will be incorporated into future Owner’s
Manuals, at which time it will no longer be placed inside the QRG. Until that time, dealers should
inform every customer who purchases a new Outlander PHEV of this addendum to ensure they are
aware of the latest information pertaining to their car.
PLEASE NOTE: Dealers should always conform to the revised and existing warnings
contained in the vehicle Owner’s Manuals.

Addendum to 2018 Outlander PHEV Owner’s Manual
Congratulations on your purchase of the all-new 2018 Outlander Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. With regards to your
vehicle’s owner’s manual, we wanted to provide you with several updates and clarifications which will supersede the
materials contained in that document.
1. On pages 3-21, 3-23, and 3-24 of the owner’s manual regarding the section, “Normal charging (charging method
with rated AC 120 V outlet)”, the first sentence of the warning beginning, “Always use a grounded outlet….” on page
3-21, and the following warnings beginning,
 “To reduce the risk of electric shock…” (page 3-23)
 “To reduce the risk of electric shock…” (page 3-24)
 “Always use an AC 120 V…” (page 3-24)
will be replaced by, “To minimize the risk of electrical shock and/or a fire, always use an outlet rated AC 120 V that
is grounded, protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter, rated for 15 A or more, and connected to a dedicated
circuit. Outlets located outdoors must be waterproofed. If you have any doubt whether your charging outlet
meets these requirements, check with a licensed electrician.”

plug that is bent or damaged. Failure to follow these instructions can result in an electric shock and/or fire.”
3. On page 3-31 of the owner’s manual regarding the section, “Normal charging (using 240 V Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment)”, in the paragraph beginning, “For connecting/disconnecting the charging…”, the sentence, “Also, follow

charging docks be installed by a licensed professional electrician using a dedicated circuit. Please review and
follow the instructions provided with your charging dock.”
4. On page 3-30 of the owner’s manual regarding the section, “EV charging cable”, the following warnings beginning,
