2011 MITSUBISHI I-MIEV charging

WARNING
l Do not touch the metal terminal of the reg-
ular charging connection (E) and the reg-
ular charging plug.
Doing so could cause an electric shock and/
or malfunction. CAUTION
l
Do
not leave for a long time with the in-
ner lid opened. It becomes impossible to
charge if foreign material enters the regu-
lar charging connection.
5. Insert the charging cable plug into an outlet.
NOTE l The

shape of the charging cable plug and out-
let may differ from country to country as
shown in the illustration.
l Use the following outlets. WARNING
l To
prevent an electric shock or fire due
to electric leak, perform charging using
the waterproofed outlet with earthing
which is connected to the ground fault in-
terrupter. WARNING
l Use
the rated AC 220-240 V outlet individ-
ually.
If a plug adapter is connected at the end
of the EV charging cable for use together
with other device, the outlet may be over-
heated, resulting in a fire.

CAUTION
l
Do not clasp the top of regular charging
plug. It could cause injury to touch the
protrusion on the lid. NOTE
l If

the electric motor switch is turned to the
“START” position with the regular charging
plug connected to the regular charging con-
nection, the electric motor unit cannot be star-
ted.
8. Make sure that the charging indicator on the instrument cluster is illuminated. If the charging indicator is not illuminated,
charging is not started.
Make

sure that the regular charging connec-
tion and the plug are appropriately connec-
ted, and perform charging from Step 5 again.
NOTE l When the regular charging plug is connected
to the charging connection, the charging indi-
cator is blinking. When charging is started,
the charging indicator is illuminated.
l The charge level for traction battery can be
checked with the energy level gauge (I) on
the instrument cluster.
Refer to “Energy level gauge” on page 4-06. 9. Charging
is complete when the charging indi-
cator turns off. Pull out the regular charging
plug while pressing the button (J). NOTE
l Charging

can be stopped half way. In this
case, also, pull out the regular charging plug
while pressing the button.

NOTE
l Make
sure that the inner lid is completely
closed.
If the regular charging lid is forcibly closed
without completely closing the inner lid, the
hinge on the inner lid may be broken.
11. Remove the charging cable plug from the out- let.
12. Install the cap on the regular charging plug. WARNING
l After
charging, be sure to close the inner
lid and the regular charging lid complete-
ly.
Be careful that water or dust does not en-
ter in the regular charging connection, in-
ner lid and regular charging plug.
Entry of water or dust could cause elec-
tric leakage, resulting in a fire or electric
shock.
l After charging, be sure to disconnect the
plug from the outlet.
If the plug is left connected to the outlet,
immersion in water or tampering may
cause leakage or an electric shock. Quick charging (charging
method with quick charger) E08301400027 WARNING
l Be
sure to use the quick charger compati-
ble with i-MiEV.
Use of a non-compatible quick charger
may cause fire or malfunction.
For the quick charger compatible with
i-MiEV, consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l For operation of quick chargers, follow
the manual of each quick charger.
l Persons who use electro-medical appara-
tus such as implantable cardiac pacemak-
er or implantable cardioverter- defibrilla-
tor must check effect from charging with
the manufacturer of electro-medical appa-
ratus. Electro-medical apparatus opera-
tions could be affected by charging.
l Before charging, make sure that there is
no foreign matter such as dust at the
quick charging connection and the quick
charging plug.
At this time, do not touch the quick charg-
ing connection. WARNING
l When
the quick charging plug is connec-
ted to the quick charging connection, pre-
vent foreign matter such as water or dust
from entering in the connection.
Connection with foreign matter such as
water or dust may cause fire or an elec-
tric shock. Do not perform charging if
there might be strong exposure to water
at the connection. CAUTION
l
During
charging, the cooling fans inside
the bonnet room may automatically be op-
erated even if the electric motor switch is
in the “LOCK” position.
Keep your hands away from the cooling
fan during charging.
NOTE l Make

sure to lock the doors to prevent theft,
etc. during charging.
1. Fully apply the parking brake and move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
2. Stop the electric devices such as lamps, air conditioning, etc. and turn the electric motor
switch to the “LOCK” position. Charging

the quick charging lid (B) at the left rear side
of the vehicle. 4. Press the tab (C) to open the inner lid (D). WARNING
l Do
not touch the metal terminal of the
quick charging connection (E) and the
quick charging plug.
Doing so could cause an electric shock and/
or malfunction. CAUTION
l
Do
not leave for a long time with the in-
ner lid opened. It becomes impossible to
charge if foreign material enters the
quick charging connection.
5. Connect
the quick charging plug in the quick charging connection to begin charging.
For connecting and disconnecting, follow the
instruction manual for each quick charger.
6. Make sure that the charging indicator on the instrument cluster is illuminated. If the charging indicator is not illuminated,
charging is not started.Follow the manual of each quick charger.
NOTE l When

the regular charging plug is connected
to the charging connection, the charging indi-
cator is blinking. When charging is started,
the charging indicator is illuminated.
l The charge level for traction battery can be
checked with the energy level gauge (F) on
the instrument cluster.
Refer to “Energy level gauge” on page 4-06. l
Operation
noise may be heard from the ve-
hicle body during quick charging.
This noise comes from operation of the
traction battery cooling system, and it is
not a malfunction.
l Since the traction battery cooling system
uses cool air of the air conditioning, the
air conditioning is automatically operated.
After quick charging, if the area under
the vehicle is wet, transparent and loose,
it is dehumidified water from the air con-
ditioning and not a malfunction. Charging

Daytime dipper button (meter illumination control)
E00529700028
Each
time you press the daytime dipper button (2),
the brightness of the instruments changes.
Bright Dim1- Brightness display
2-

Daytime dipper button
NOTE l You can adjust to 4 different levels for when
the tail lamps are illuminated and 4 for when
they are not.
l When the lamp switch is in the “AUTO” po-
sition, the meter illumination switches auto-
matically to the adjusted brightness, depend-
ing on the brightness outside the vehicle.
l The brightness level of the instruments is stor-
ed when the electric motor switch is turned off. l
If
you press and hold the button for longer
than about 1 second, the brightness automati-
cally scrolls through its different levels, and
stops scrolling when you release the button.
Select your desired level of brightness.
Cruising range indicator E00529900020
This displays the approximate cruising range (how
many

more kilometres or miles you can drive).
When the cruising range becomes short, the indica-
tion changes to “---”.
NOTE
l The cruising range is displayed based on the
past drive data. It may vary depending on the
driving condition (road condition, driving sit-
uation, etc.) and air conditioning operation
status.
For example, the cruising range can be short-
ened by driving on congested roads, by driv-
ing uphill, by repeated hard acceleration, and
by use of the air conditioner and heater.
When the auxiliary battery terminal is discon-
nected, the power consumption data of the
traction battery in the past is deleted. A dif-
ferent value from before may be displayed.
Be sure to use the display only for reference.
l When the traction battery is charged, the cruis-
ing range is updated. If the charge level is
low, the correct value is not displayed.
l On vehicles with speedometer of Type 2, the
display setting can be changed to the prefer-
red units (km or miles).
Refer to “Changing the display unit*” on
page 4-02. Energy level gauge
E00530000018
The

energy level gauge indicates the remaining pow-
er in the traction battery during charging or when
the electric motor switch is in the “ON” position. F- Battery is fully powered.
E- Charge the battery.
