NOTE
Use hook and a rope that can support the weight of the EV
charging cable, 8.8 lbs (4 kg) as shown in the figure
below.

Make sure that the rope has no damage before use.FCC Notice: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residen-
tial installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio commu-
nications.
However, these is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the use is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
CAUTION
!
Use the method shown below to help secure the con-
trol box and to prevent the plug from being pulled
halfway out of the socket during charging.

NOTE
The MiEV Remote system uses radio waves. The MiEV
Remote can operate within approximately 328 feet (100
m) from the vehicle.
In the following environments or situations, the MiEV
Remote may not transmit and receive radio waves cor-
rectly. As a result, the remote may not operate properly.
• When the vehicle and the MiEV Remote are separated
by a concrete wall.
• When there is a metal wall between the vehicle and the
MiEV Remote.
• When the vehicle is surrounded by other tall vehicles.
• When the vehicle and/or the MiEV Remote is near a
facility emitting strong radio waves, such as a television
tower, a transformer substation, a broadcasting station or
an airport.
• When other electrical equipment such as computers or
cell-phones are placed near the MiEV Remote.
• When the MiEV Remote touches something metallic, or
is covered by a metal object.
• When batteries for the MiEV Remote are weak.
WA R N I N G
!
Individuals who use implantable pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators should
keep away from the external and internal transmit-
ters. The electromagnetic waves used in the MiEV
Remote System may affect the operation of implant-
able pacemakers and implantable cardiovascular-
defibrillators.
Individuals using other electro-medical apparatus
besides implantable pacemakers and implantable
cardiovascular-defibrillators should check with the
manufacturer of the apparatus to confirm the effect
of the electromagnetic waves used by the MiEV
Remote System. The electromagnetic waves may
affect the operations of the electro-medical appara-
tus.
Never use the MiEV Remote near medical equip-
ment. Electromagnetic waves could adversely affect
the medical equipment.
Keep the MiEV Remote in the place where children
will not touch or play with the remote.
When bringing the MiEV Remote on flights, do not
press any switches on the MiEV Remote while on the
plane. If a switch is pressed on the plane, the MiEV
Remote emits electromagnetic waves which like cell
phones and other wireless devices, could interfere
with systems on the airplane.
When carrying the MiEV Remote in a bag, be care-
ful that no switches on the MiEV Remote can be
pressed by mistake.
CAUTION
!
Never disassemble or modify the MiEV Remote. No
user serviceable parts are inside except batteries.
Disassembling or modifying the MiEV Remote or
removing a label from the MiEV Remote may vio-
late regulations.

Additional remote control transmitters
N00543900065
To add a remote control transmitter, you must already have one
registered remote control transmitter.
Registering the ID code can be done by yourself or by a certi-
fied i-MiEV dealer. For you to register the ID code yourself,
follow the “Customer remote control transmitter program-
ming” procedure below.
If you choose to have a certified i-MiEV dealer register the ID
code, take your vehicle and all remaining keys to a certified i-
MiEV dealer.NOTE
You are provided with 2 remote control transmitters, but
you may register up to 4 remote control transmitters.General information

NOTE
To avoid the risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensors, have any punctured tire repaired by a certified i-
MiEV dealer. If the tire repair is not done by a certified i-
MiEV dealer, it is not covered by your warranty.

Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray on any tire.
Such a spray could damage the tire inflation pressure sen-
sors.

Using the tire repair kit may damage the tire inflation
pressure sensor. The vehicle must promptly be inspected
and repaired by a certified i-MiEV dealer after using the
tire repair kit.The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in
the following circumstances:

A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is
near the vehicle.

Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the
wheels.

The tire inflation pressure sensors’ battery is exhausted.

Wheels other than Mitsubishi Motors genuine wheels are
being used.

Wheels that are not fitted with tire inflation pressure sen-
sors are being used.

Wheels whose ID codes are not memorized by the vehicle
are used.

A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is
installed.
NOTE
Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambient tempera-
ture. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambi-
ent temperature, the tire inflation pressures may be under-
inflated (causing the warning light to come on) when the
ambient temperature is relatively low. If the warning light
comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.
WA R N I N G
!
If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
illuminates while you are driving, avoid hard brak-
ing, sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds.
Driving with an under-inflated tire adversely affects
vehicle performance and can result in an accident.
CAUTION
!
The tire pressure monitoring system warning light
may not illuminate immediately in the event of a tire
blowout or rapid leak.

Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with
new ones
N00532900182
If you use new wheels with new tire inflation pressure sensors,
their ID codes must be programmed into the tire pressure mon-
itoring system. Have tire and wheel replacement performed by
a certified i-MiEV dealer to avoid the risk of damaging the tire
inflation pressure sensors.
General information
