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
