Extending Your Driving Range
Seat Heater Switch
What Happens in Extreme Heat and Cold Conditions:
Use of Climate Control - while the Mitsubishi i is plugged in to a level 1 or 2 charger, use your MiEV Remote to
pre-heat, pre-cool, or defrost the cabin as much as possible. This will draw power from the outlet rather than
pulling energy from the main Mitsubishi i battery.
Use the more energy efficient seat heater instead of the cabin heater to keep warm while driving.
The MAX switch is effective for adjusting the cabin temperature quickly, however, it pulls a lot of energy. Once
the temperature is set to your liking, it is better to turn off the MAX switch to reduce unnecessary energy
consumption.
Warning - the headlights and wipers are operated by the 12 Volt battery and do not have a significant impact
on driving range. Please keep these safety features on while operating the Mitsubishi i when necessary.
The heated seat can be operated when the vehicle starter is
in the ON position.
The indicator light (A) will illuminate while the heater is on.
When the vehicle is driven in a low or high ambient temperature, its heater or air-conditioning performance may be reduced. The
use of the heater or air-conditioner can reduce the vehicle’s driving distance. Please refer to the General Information in the Owner’s
Manual, regarding cautions and actions to deal with intense heat and cold.

7CHARGING YOUR MITSUBISHI i
Pacemaker and Defibrillator Warning
Before starting the charge operation or driving the vehicle, check with the electric medical device manufacturer concerning
the effects that charging may have on implantable devices if you use any medical electric devices, such as:
• An implantable cardiac pacemaker
• An implantable cardiovascular defibrillator
The Mitsubishi i is designed to comply with the ICNIRP International Guidelines however customer’s medical devices may not
comply.
Main Drive Battery vs. 12 Volt Battery
If the 12 Volt battery is discharged regardless of the remaining level of the main drive battery,
the vehicle cannot be driven.
The 12 Volt battery provides electricity to numerous devices in the car. Even if the remaining
electricity level of the main drive battery lowers, you can continue to use the lights and wipers.
To avoid the 12 Volt battery from dying please avoid using the headlights, radio, air
conditioning, etc. for a long period of time without the vehicle turned on and the READY light
lit.

12 VOLT
BATTERY
Main Drive Battery powers the Mitsubishi i, its heating as well as its air conditioning.
Major functions run by the 12 Volt battery include: start up of the power unit, headlights, power windows, wipers, cabin lights, audio, and seat heaters.
Power Down Warning Light
If this warning light illuminates, the power provided by the electric motor will be reduced, the vehicle will only
be able to move at low speeds, and the air conditioning unit shuts off. This warning light will illuminate;
• When the energy level in the main drive battery is near empty
• When temperature of the electric motor unit or the main drive battery is too high or too low
• When voltage of the main drive battery becomes low

12MITSUBISHI MiEV REMOTE
Effectively using your Mitsubishi MiEV Remote
1) Pre-activate the climate control – you can use the controller to set the climate inside the vehicle while the vehicle is plugged in. The
vehicle cabin’s temperature will be comfortable while utilizing the power from the outlet rather than from the main drive battery.
2) Timed battery charging – you can set a timer to take advantage of lower energy rates by having your Mitsubishi i programmed to
charge during those off peak hours.
3) Battery level information – you can view your Mitsubishi i’s charge level on your MiEV Remote without being in your vehicle.
4) To maximize the range of the MiEV Remote, extend the antenna to its full height. When
unobstructed, the range is up to 300 feet.
Your Mitsubishi MiEV Remote includes the following functions:
1) Power/communication button – when briefly pushed, settings are communicated to the
Mitsubishi i. When pushed longer than a second, the controller is turned on or off.
2) Mode button – scrolls to Charging Time, AC, Heater, and Defroster by just pressing the mode
button
3) Manual charge button – turns charging on or off, bypassing preset timers.
4) Scrolling buttons – scrolls the display items.
5) Communication signal – blinks when communicating with the vehicle and when errors occur.
6) Charging indicator – lights up during charging and blinks if charging cable is not connected
during charging attempt.
7) ERROR indicator – blinks if there is an operation or communication error.
8) Battery indicator – shows remaining charge of main drive battery. Blinks if battery has less than
20% charge.
9) Timer indicator – shows whether the timer is on or off.
10) Program timing indicator – shows the amount of time left until timer charging is complete based on the program
time set.
11) Climate control settings – displays modes currently active.
