Familiarizing yourself with
i-MiEV E00202600016
This
section describes features that the i-MiEV has
as an electric vehicle and gives precautions that
you should observe. It is important. Please read it
carefully.
Main features E00202700017
l Energy
required for driving is only electrici-
ty and fuel supply is not required.
l The traction battery and electric motor unit
are mounted outside the passenger compart-
ment. In this way, passenger space is ob-
tained for riding of four adults.
l With the high performance motor, noise and
vibration during driving are greatly limited
and powerful acceleration can also be ob-
tained.
l With regenerative braking, the traction bat-
tery is automatically charged when the accel-
erator is released.
l The vehicle can be charged from general pow-
er outlets (rated AC 220-240 V).
l Charge with the quick charger for i-MiEV is
also available.
l The creeping behaviour occurs in i-MiEV
like a vehicle with automatic transmission.
Regenerative braking
It is equivalent to engine braking of an engine vehi-
cle. If you step off the accelerator pedal during driv-
ing, motion energy is converted into electric energy
using the motor as a power generator.
In this conversion, braking force is generated and
converted electric energy is charged in the traction
battery. Regenerative braking is stronger in the order of the
selector

lever position of “C” (COMFORT), “D”
(DRIVE), “B” (BRAKE).
Put the selector lever to the “B” (BRAKE) or “C”
(COMFORT) position according to the driving con-
dition.
“B”: Strong regenerative braking (For downhill)
“C”: Weak regenerative braking (For long cruising)
Traction battery E00202800018
l It
is the battery to operate the motor (electric
motor unit) and the air conditioning.
In addition to the traction battery, i-MiEV
has the auxiliary battery to operate lamps, wip-
ers, etc.
l Compact, light-weight lithium ion battery
with high energy density is used for the trac-
tion battery.
l The lithium ion battery has the following char-
acteristics. Please read this carefully and
treat the battery paying attention to the fol-
lowing:
Characteristics l It is not necessary to consume the battery com-
pletely before charging.
l The capacity is gradually degraded depend-
ing on time used and operating conditions.
l The performance may be changed due to the
outside temperature. At low temperature, in
particular, the cruising range is short and the
charging time is long, compared to operation
at normal temperature.
l If you store your vehicle at an extremely
high or low temperature, the battery capacity
may be lowered.
l The battery is gradually discharged without
use and the battery charge is lowered. Precautions for operation
l Do

not store your vehicle with the energy lev-
el gauge showing 0 bars.
Doing so could damage the traction battery.
The battery may have to be replaced depend-
ing on the low capacity.
l If you do not use your vehicle for a long
time, please charge the traction battery to the
full every 3 months so that the energy level
gauge may not be 0 bars.
l MITSUBISHI MOTORS collects traction bat-
teries. If you scrap your vehicle, please con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
NOTE l The progress of the battery capacity loss de-
pends on the vehicle usage and the environ-
ment.
We recommend to do regular charging from
2 bars or less to charge completely at least
once in 3 months.
The procedure lets the battery remaining indi-
cator adjusted automatically.
Cruising range E00202900019
l Even
if the charge level is the same, the cruis-
ing range may vary depending on the driving
conditions. Since driving at high speed or
climbing on a hill requires higher consump-
tion of the traction battery than usual, the
cruising range is shortened.
l Since the air conditioning (cooling or heat-
ing) consumes power of the traction battery,
its operation results in a shorter cruising
range. Maintain an appropriate temperature. General information

E00200301003
We
recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l The installation of accessories, optional
parts, etc., should only be carried out within
the limits prescribed by law in your country,
and in accordance with the guidelines and
warnings contained within the documents ac-
companying this vehicle.
l Installing electric components incorrectly
could lead to a fire. See the “Modification/al-
terations to the electrical systems” section
within this owner’s manual.
l Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the
vehicle without an external antenna may
cause electrical system interference, which
could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifi-
cations must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for in-
formation regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and replacement
parts of different manufactures available in the mar-
ket, it is not possible, not only for MITSUBISHI
MOTORS, but also for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point, to check whether the at-
tachment or installation of such parts affects the
overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially authorized, for
example
by a “general operators permit” (an ap-
praisal for the part) or through the execution of the
part in an officially approved manner of construc-
tion, or when a single operation permit following
the attachment or installation of such parts, it can-
not be deduced from that alone, that the driving safe-
ty of your vehicle has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists no liability
on the part of the appraiser or the official. Maxi-
mum safety can only be ensured with parts recom-
mended, sold and fitted or installed by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS authorized Service Point
(MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine replacement
parts and MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories).
The same also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the produc-
tion specifications. For safety reasons, do not at-
tempt any modifications other than those that fol-
low the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS authorized Service Point. General information

l When
the vehicle is driven in a high ambient temperature, its air-conditioner performance can be insufficient. Also, using the air conditioner can reduce the
vehicle’s cruising range.
l When the ambient temperature is approximately 40 °C or higher, the phenomena described below may occur. Please take the described corrective action. Approx. ambient tem-
perature Phenomena Corrective action
Approx. 40 °C to
45 °C Startup and driving During quick charging, repeated high-speed driving, or repeated uphill
driving, the power down warning lamp* comes on and the motor out-
put is restricted to protect the traction battery or motor (electric motor
unit).
Stop the vehicle for a while, avoid
quick charging, and wait for the power
down warning lamp* to go off.Approx. 45 °C to
60 °C Startup and driving
During continued high-speed driving or continued uphill driving, the
power down warning lamp* comes on and the motor output is restric-
ted to protect the traction battery or motor (electric motor unit).
If you continue driving after the power down warning lamp* has come
on, the vehicle may stop when you have driven a few kilometres. (The
vehicle stops when the traction battery temperature reaches

60 °C.)
Charging and battery Charging may become impossible. (When the traction battery tempera-
ture

is 60 °C or higher, charging is limited to protect the traction battery. Park in a well-ventilated, shady place.
The traction battery capacity decreases more quickly, and the cruising
range decreases more quickly. When you park, do so in a well-ventila-
ted, shady place.Approx. 60 °C or high-
er Startup and driving
The power down warning lamp* comes on, and the vehicle may stop.
(The vehicle stops when the traction battery temperature reaches
