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.
l Put the selector lever to the “B” (BRAKE) or
“C” (COMFORT) position according to the
road condition. To charge the traction battery
with appropriate use of regenerative braking
can increase the cruising range. Installation of accessories
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

Remote WARNING
l Individuals
who use implantable pace-
makers or implantable cardiovascular-de-
fibrillators should keep away from the ex-
ternal and internal transmitters. The elec-
tromagnetic waves used in the MiEV Re-
mote System may affect the operation of
implantable pacemakers and implantable
cardiovascular defibrillators.
l Individuals using other electro-medical
apparatus besides implantable pacemak-
ers and implantable cardiovascular defib-
rillators should check with the manufac-
turer of the apparatus to confirm the ef-
fect of the electromagnetic waves used by
the MiEV Remote System. The electro-
magnetic waves may affect the operations
of the electro-medical apparatus.
l Never use the MiEV Remote near medi-
cal equipment. Electromagnetic waves
could adversely affect the medical equip-
ment.
l Keep the MiEV Remote in the place
where children will not touch or play
with the remote.
l 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 careful that no switches on the
MiEV Remote can be pressed by mistake. CAUTION
l
Never disassemble or modify the MiEV
Remote. No user serviceable parts are in-
side except batteries.
l Disassembling or modifying the MiEV Re-
mote or removing a label from the MiEV
Remote may violate regulations.
NOTE l The
MiEV Remote system uses radio waves.
The MiEV Remote can operate within approx-
imately 100 m from the vehicle.
In the following environments or situations,
the MiEV Remote may not transmit and re-
ceive radio waves correctly. As a result, the
remote may not operate properly. • When the vehicle and the MiEV Remoteare 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 Re- mote is near a facility emitting strong ra-
dio waves, such as a television tower, a
transformer substation, a broadcasting sta-
tion or an airport.
• When other electrical equipment such as computers or cell-phones are placed near
the MiEV Remote.
• When the MiEV Remote touches some- thing metallic, or is covered by a metal ob-
ject.
• When batteries for the MiEV Remote are weak. Charging

WARNING
l The side airbags and curtain airbags in-
flate with great force. The driver and pas-
senger should not put their arms out the
window, and should not lean against the
door, in order to reduce risk of serious or
possible fatal injury from the deploying
side airbags and curtain airbags. WARNING
l Do
not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front
seat, in order to reduce risk of injury
from the deploying side airbags. Special
care should be taken with children.
l Do not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They
could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment. WARNING
l Do
not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side air-
bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags.
Do not re-cover seats that have side air-
bags. This could interfere with proper
side airbag inflation.
l Do not attach a microphone (A) or any
other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags (B) activate
such as on the windscreen, side door
glass, front and rear pillars and roof side
or assist grips. When the curtain airbags
inflate, the microphone or other device or
object will be hurled with great force or
the curtain airbags may not activate cor-
rectly, resulting in death or serious injury. WARNING
l Never install a rearward facing child re-
straint in the front passenger seat. A for-
ward facing child restraint should be
used in the rear seat whenever possible. If
a forward facing child restraint must be
used in the front passenger seat, adjust
the seat to the most rearward position,
and ensure that the child stays in the
child restraint and away from the door.
l Do not allow the child to lean against or
close to the door even if the child is seated
in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not be
leaned against or be close to the area
where the side airbags and curtain air-
bags are located. It is dangerous if the
side airbags and curtain airbags inflate.
Failure to follow all of these instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the
child.
l We recommend work around and on the
side airbags and curtain airbags system
to be done by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
