Driving Range
The \bistance you can \brive varies consi\berably
\bepen\bing on a variety of factors:
DRIVING YOUR MITSUBISHI i-MiEV
What is Regenerative Braking?
Motion \fnergy is converte\b into electric energy using the
motor as a power generator. While \becelerating, electric
energy will be create\b an\b use\b to charge the main \brive
lithium-ion battery.
To maximize regenerative braking set the \brive mo\be selector
lever to:
B ­Regenerative Brake Mo\be) - for \bownhill \briving an\b s\wtrong
regenerative braking
Eco - for economical or gentle \w\bownhill \briving using\w mo\berate
regenerative braking.
What is the sound I’m\3 hearing while my Mitsubishi i-MiE\3V is
moving at very slow speeds?
This is the  coustic Vehicle  lerting System ­ V S) which
soun\bs an au\bible warning from 0 to 22 miles per hour \wto alert
pe\bestrians of the appr\woaching electric v\wehicle.
The Mitsubishi i-Mi\f\wV has a teste\b \f
combine\b range of 62 miles.
Seat Heater Switch
The heate\b seat can be operate\b when the
vehicle starter is in the ON po\wsition.
The in\bicator light will illumi\wnate while the
heater is on.
What Happens in \fxtreme Heat an\b Col\b Con\bitions:
When the vehicle is \briven in a low or high ambient temperature, its heater or air-con\bitioning performance may be re\buce\b. The
use of the heater or air-con\bitioner can re\buce the vehicle’s \briving \bistance.
Manual, regar\bing cautions an\b ac\wtions to \beal with intense heat an\b col\b.

Using the accelerator - \brive smoothly, accelerate gently an\b rea\b the roa\b
ahea\b. Your real-time energy consumption is \bisplaye\b on the energy usage
in\bicator. Try to keep the re\b nee\ble within the\w green Eco zone. When your
foot is of the accelerator or you are braking ­regenerating energy), the re\b
nee\ble shoul\b be in \wthe blue Charge zone.
™reeway \briving - use Eco mo\be an\b try to maintain a consistent spee\b.
The faster you go, the greater the energy consumption an\b less overall
range.
Uphill \briving š us\we D mo\be an\b try to carry as much spee\w\b ­momentum)
from the at section of the r\woa\b up the hill as \wpossible to avoi\b having to
accelerate in the mi\b\ble of t\whe hill.
While \becelerating - try to take your foot of the accelerator as early as
possible. The moment you take your foot of the pe\bal, t\whe vehicle will start
regenerating electricity wh\wich is especially e\wfective while \briving \bownhill
in B mo\be.
\fxten\bing Your Driving Range
Shift position
Selecting the most suitable shift po\wsition will help exten\b your \briving range.
D - is the stan\bar\b mo\be an\b provi\bes full power access an\b normal regenerative braking
Eco - slightly re\buces overall power thus conserving energy an\b slightly incr\weasing regenerative braking
B - provi\bes full power with the strongest calibration of regenerative braking
DRIVING YOUR MITSUBISHI i-MiEV
Use of Climate Control - while the Mits\wubishi i-Mi\fV is pl\wugge\b in to a level 1 or 2 charger, use your i-Mi\fV
Remote to pre-heat, pre-cool, or \befrost the cabin as much \was possible. This will \braw power from the outlet
rather than pulling e\wnergy from the main \brive lithium-ion battery.
Use the more energy e›cient seat heater instea\b of the cabin he\water to keep warm while \briving.
The MAX switch is efective for a\bœusting the cabin temperature quickly, however, it pulls a lot of\w energy.
Once the temperature is set to your liking, it is b\wetter to turn of the MAX switch to re\buce unnecessary
energy consumption.
Warning - the hea\bli\wghts an\b wipers are operate\b by the 12 volt starter battery an\b \bo not have a signižcant
impact on \briving range.

66CHARGING YOUR MITSUBISHI i-MiEV

Before starting the charge operation or \briving the\w vehicle, check with the el\wectric me\bical \bevice manufacturer concerning
the efects that charging may have on implantable \bevices if you use any me\bical electric \be\wvices, such as: Ÿ  n implantable car\biac pacemaker
Ÿ  n implantable car\biovascular \bežbrillator
The Mitsubishi i-Mi\f\wV is \besigne\b to comply with the ICNIR\w
may not comply.
Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery vs. 12 Volt Starter Battery
If the 12 volt starter battery is \bischarge\b regar\bless of the remaining level of the main
\brive lithium-ion battery, the vehicle cannot be \br\wiven.
The 12 volt starter battery provi\bes electricity t\wo numerous \bevices in the car. \fven if the
remaining electricit\wy level of the main \brive lithium-ion battery lowers, you can continue to
use the lights an\b \wwipers.
To avoi\b the 12 volt starter battery from \bying please avoi\b using the hea\bli\wghts, ra\bio, air
con\bitioning, etc. for a long perio\b of\w time without the vehicle turne\b on an\w\b the R\f DY

If this warning light illumin\wates, the power provi\be\b by the electric motor will be re\buce\b, the vehicle will only
be able to move at low spee\bs, an\b the ai\wr con\bitioning unit sh\wuts of. This warning light will i\wlluminate¡
Ÿ When the energy level in the main \brive lithium-ion battery is near empty
Ÿ When temperature of the electric \wmotor unit or the main \w\brive lithium-ion battery is too high or too low
Ÿ When voltage of the main \w\brive lithium-ion battery becomes low

\ffectively using your Mitsubishi i-Mi\w\fV Remote
1) vehicle cabin’s temperature will be comfortable while utili\wzing the power from the outlet rather than from the main \brive lithium-ion
battery.
2) Time\b battery charging š you can set a timer t\wo take a\bvantage of lower energy rates by having your Mitsubishi i-Mi\w\fV programme\b to charge \buring those of \wpeak hours.
£) Battery level information š you can view your Mitsubishi i-Mi\w\fV’s charge level on your i-Mi\fV Remote without being in \wyour vehicle.
¤) To maximize the range of the i-Mi\fV \wRemote, exten\b the antennae to its full height. \wWhen unobstructe\b, the range is up to £00 feet.
Your Mitsubishi i-Mi\w\fV Remote inclu\bes the following functions:
1) Power/communication button š when briey pushe\w\b, settings are communicate\b to the
Mitsubishi i-Mi\fV. When pushe\b longer t\whan a secon\b, the controller is turne\b on \wor of.
2) Mode button š scrolls to Charging Time,  C, Heater, an\b Defroster by œust pressing the mo\be

¢) Communication signal š blinks when communicating with the vehicle an\b when err\wors occur.
6) Charging indicator š lights up \buring \wcharging an\b blinks if \wcharging cable is not \wconnecte\b
\buring charging attempt.
¦) ERROR indicator š blinks if there is an operation or communication error.
¥) Battery indicator š shows remaining charge of main \brive lithium-ion battery. Blinks if battery
has less than 20« charge.
¨) Timer indicator š shows whether the timer \wis on or of.
10) Program timing indicator š shows the amount of time\w left until timer ch\warging is complete base\b on the program
time set.
